The writer can see no valid rea-
son why the bill introduced in the
senate by Senator LaFollette pro-
viding for the physical valuation
of railroads and the antitrust bill
introduced by Senator Cummins
should not pass and become laws.
AS there is now a democratic major
ity in both branches of congress,
it is only reasonable to expect that
every measure il the interest of the
people will be crystalized into law.
The last man in the world to ask
for sympathy and political loyalty
from men holding office in the pres
ent state of administration is Gov.
F. E. McGovern. The governor has
been woefully lacking loyalty both
to party and friends. AS a dele
gate in the last republican national
convention, although elected as a
friend and supporter of Senator
LaFollette he proved recreant to
the trust reposed in him and after
nomination for governor by the re-
publican party he declared himself
a bull-mooser, separating himself
from his party. He certainly has
no right to expect neither SYM
pathy or support from republican
or democrats.

CHILE: and Her People Of Today. BY
Nevin o. Winter, author of Mexico

The first appeal of this book on Chile

Out from a roughly blocked-in back
ground. made of the early history of this
country and its natural resources. he
draws the growth Of the Chileans,
through the development of these re-
sources to their present prosperous and
dignified position among nations. The
theme takes on definite personality. be-
comes a live organic body, through the
authors attention to the people-to their
social customs and modes of daily life
to their ways of thinking and doing, and
even to their appearance, as all these
have slowly shaped through the genius
of the place itself. In other words, the
author shows not only the present fruits
of this growth, but, besides, the roots
that have produced such fruitage. AS
writer, Mr.. Winter has good gift at
making pictures. the knack of story tell
ing and the power to gather the minutiae
of matters into a few stable. manageable
units of impression. To this admirable
study he adds good map to help one to
see his own comings and goings up and
down the coast and an abundance of de-
lightful pictures to objectify parts OF
the text in characteristic scene and fea-
ture The whole gives the reader q vivid,

number of younger painters represented
ably in the present exhibition in the Cor
coran Gallery. Frederick j. Waugh
shows two canvases. one in gallery "A, -
the other in gallery H the former enti-
tied "Monhegan Surf and the other On
coming Wave" Both are pure interpre-
tations of the sea, forceful, colorful and
get more reticent than usual. The one is
bit of the ocean so realistically rem
dered that it has to some degree an in
clinaton to come out of its frame and to
suggest incompletiOn rather than self
sufficient unity. The other is not open to
this criticism, but shows rendering of
rocks and windswept waves which is no
less true or impressive.

of the west doorway, hang marine paint
ings by +. X. NJ. REIN and William Rits-
chel, the former painted on the coast Of
Massachusetts and the other on the Cali
fornia coast. These are large canvases
possessing not only dramatic force, but
decorative quality. Mr.. REIN shows the
sea touched by the warm slanting rays
of the late afternoon sun; Mr.. Ritschel
shows less contrast of light and shade,
but gives. perhaps, a better interpreta-
ton of the swing of the great incoming
