ats him, but what man would do."
 The motif of the book is embodied in the dialogue between the Plough boy and Kenneth on page S24.
 'It may be that the body is the spade of the soul, the instrument that the soul needs and ought to use for. doing it's work
 "But, Jaamie,' asked Kenneth after short silence, what wad ye say was the work that the soul should use the body for?'
 Heres how. I look at it. Kenneth. What is true life? When is man truly living? He is truly living when he is living up to the highest and best that's in him; ali that he feels and knows to be the best. Don't you think so ?''
 Kenneth rehected moment, then answered.
 "Ay, Jaamie.''

 Like the clear song of a lark, ris- ing higher and higher and still sing ing into the blue, this reiteration of the Brotherhood of Man is as insist ent as Greek Chorus. Edwin Markham, in an introduce ton to this book-an introduction which is a beautiful prose poem, 2 poem passionate with Apollyn life and viriiity-objects to the Tolstoian con- ic1usions of the author as to the solu- | l1OI1. fOL tIAO PA OOiC1Al 4OO tion of wealth.
 l With this objection I am in hearty l accord. No scheme of life which contemplates a return to primitive ness. which plans for a world of del- vers and gardeners. is practical.
 Managers and overseers we must always have with us. Individualisn1 is anarchic. Guidance, order, and concerted directed effort must accom- pany action. Nature never created any two organisms identical in all de- tails.
 Socialism dreams merely of equal- izing, opportunity. That every man and woman be given full, unham- pered chance to develop the best that within them lie, through collective ownership of the means of production and distribution, they to receive the full return of all which their labors or activities produce. x l The Tolstoian concept is wasteful,

Players next week There is neither rhyme nor reason in the story; it has no philosophy no moral point, no problem to. solve and is simply a lot of particularly clever lines and breezy repartee, written around set of false teeth as a pivotal character Briefly, the story of the play is as follows:
 Billy" young football star who has given four good front teeth in the cause of football. has the missing molars replaced by false ones and in order to become used to them, before he should meet his friends, he takes a sea voyage, accompanied by his sis ter. By a strange coincidence he dis covers that Miss fSlean," the lady of his heart, is on the boat and that Sam Eustace,' his rival in love, is also passenger. Billy" in his ex- 5citement, loses his false teeth and purloins those of his prospective moth er-in-law. Complications from this time on come thick and fast until finally the tangle is unwoven, to s'sBilly's''< great relief, through the agency of Dan Cupid.
 The action of the play takes place on the upper deck of the steamship Florida. plying between. New York and Havana, and is remarkably ef- fective. This week the Po1i Players are presenting Mary Janes Pa a scleverly written comedy on country life, and is being enthusiastically re- ceived by exceedingly large audiences at every performance.
