both sides of the street, are rooted

That had helped to make their

The riches of this world I'll carry

When l have passed beyond this

That I brought gladness to them on

When bitterness was theirs, I'll take

rmE NEM FREEnoM.


TT is hardly fair, of course, to judge
Mr.. Wilson'S new book by literary
\ standards. But, coming from such
a man at such a time, passing mem
ton of it should be made in column
such as this.
AS Mr. Wilson points out in his
preface, he did not write the book at
all. 1t is the result Of the editorial
literary skill of Mr.. William Bayard
Hale, who has put together in their
right sequences the more suggestiNs
portions of my campaign speeches.
The chapter headings, however. seem
, to be typical of the President-elect
Some of them are: THE Old Order
Changeth," What Is Progress
| 'Freemen Need No Guardians" Life
Comes from the Soil" Monopoly or
| Opportunity" 1.-THE Way to Resume
Is to Resume" 1.-THE Emancipation OF
Business 1.-The Liberation of a Peo-
pies Vital Energies
The speeches that make up this en-
PERTAINING volume are serious and
scholarly They are hopeful. not hys-
| terical. and here and there is some
humorous anecdote, used as an Illus
trat1on in some big way.
| In explaining how city people and
country people may be affected by
| their limitations, he says:
| heard the other day of a woman whl
had lived all her life in the city and in i
hotel. She made first visit TO the coun-
| try Inst summer and spent n week in 4
