 The Taft boom appeared to be pretty thoroughly wrecked--partly through the blunders of Taft's managers. and partly through the unwillingness of the presi- dent to take q hand in the situation. Up to this point MT. Roosevelts consistent policy appears to have been to avoid both the reality and the semblance Of a polit- ical dictatorship.

 'rThrough Italy With the Poets'i is an anthology containing all the best poetry about Italy, and, says the author, noth- ing but the pest. And from the selection made it would seem that this volume more nearly conveys the spirit of Italy than any one volume ever before pub 1shed.
 Writes tire author in his "Fareword % .Italy is the land of poetry. No other country has so touched men Of senius to their best issues, and just mankind has been introduced to English history main ly by the art of Shakespeare and Scott, SC Italy has come chiefly to be known and loved in the lines of Virgil, Dante, Byron, Shelley, the Brownings and their descendants' And so this volume is pre- pared for the studious and poetic travel CT who would remember some elusive, half-remembered line as he journeys among these cties of the soul Among such a collection one SO naturally turns fc the Lake country. and it was with especial delight that one was found en- titled Lake Como by Walter Malone. and>it is one of the choicest selections in the volume.
 Judge Walter Malone of Memphis, Ten nessee. has been for some years one of
 
 the foremost lawyers of Memphis, and his onasterly ability for judicial decisions IS matched by the sweetness, tenderness md beauty of his poetic compositions Judge Malone, among others, was with 1he writer when we witnessed the sudden rain storm that inspired his poem. and erjoyed it's exquisite lines of imagery in manuscript but few hours later
