The PHILOSOPHY of Despair" by David
Starr Jordan is one of the very interest,"
ing and notable books of the year. In
reading it's pages one thinks Of the grace
and flow Of Ruskin not simply because of
the style but because it possesses all the
depth and lucidity Of Ruskin: -,
ITO the pessimistic philosopher the
progress of the race is a mere illusion.
There is no progress, only. adaptation:
Every creature must fit. itself to it's envi-
ronment or pass away. The beast fits the
forest for the same reason that the river
fits its bed Life is only possible y: under

In this volume the learned author says
many novel things in a manner so entire
~ novel as to almost convince one that
there is something new under the sum-
It is essentially volume which appeals
to. the masses. The simplicity of style
and freedom from literary convention puts
the book Within the reach of all under
standings.

ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE.
The Romance of the Commonplace. By
Gelett Burgess. $3.50. San Francisco.
Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard.
This is volume of modern philosophy,
which ranks in that class of essays made
famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr.. Bur-
CESS says many clever things in his book,
and one may glance at any chapter and
discover many commonplace things writ
ten in a very uncommon manner. 1.-The
desire to tell secrets" writes the author,
Is one Of the most contagious of diseases,
and few of us are immune. Some vigor-
but once an epidemic begins it is hard
work stopping it, and a secret on the ram
page is well nigh irresistible. Tell your
secret, then, broadcast, and let it have it's
way until it dies out. But above all never
confide it to her who asserts she never has
the slightest desire to tell, for there, like
T! a seed sown in fertile ground, it will ger

/ Again: ''Flattery is, however, an edged
tool, and must be used with care. It is
not everyone who has the tact to decide at
a glance just how much his victim will
stand.''
The author treats of art science and
literature with such delicate, ironical
criticism, and withal, with so much OF
masterful art as to, render this book Of
unusuaI interest z.' - ~z#t@s - ..

This community has been falsely
branded as having polluted water
supply by the state board of health and
the Portland papers.
The Portland papers have partially
corrected the false impression given
out, but the official declaration of the
board still stands.
What is Salem going to do about
it?
All the advertising Of the Greater
Salem Commercial Club is knocked in
the head by such an official libel of
this community.
The state board of health is an ir.
responsible body. It can neither make
good for the injury done, nor be
mulcted in damages for injury.
Still, a community has some rights
in the premises, and there should be
some way to protect ourselves against
further outrageous ofHcialism.

The man OF life upright,
Whose cheerful mind is free
From weight Of lmplous deeds
And yoke Of vanity;
The man whose silent days
In harmless Joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude
Nor sorrows discomfort.
That man needs neither towers,
Nor armor for defense.
Nor vaults HIS guilt to shroud
From thunder's violence:
He only can behold
With unaffrlghted eyes
The horrors Of the deep
And terrorS OF the skies;
Thus, scorning all the cares
That fate or fortune brings

His wisdom heavenly things;
Good thoughts his surest friends,
His wealth a wellspent age.
