Philip Hale recently suggested that
modern readers would be materially
assisted from the tyranny of tradi-
tion If distinguished coterie of men
like Mr.. Howells, Mr.. Chesterton, Mr..
Shaw and DR.. Eliot would draw up a
list of the "25 worst books" A
writer in the Providence Journal un-
dertakes the task, as pride and pre-
tense to processing admiration for
books they never read and never in
tend to read. This writer in his list
names Paradise Regained,' The
Faerie Queene," "Wutthering
Heights" Aurora Leigh" John Hall
fax" "Hypathia," and several other
books that people today care nothing
confessed simply because their past
fame makes present readers afraid or
ashamed to admit ignorance Of them
Senator Hoar once admitted that
often he preferred "Old Sleuth' to his
classic Greek volumes. Other great
men make no secret of their reading
bad books" for diversion. A list Of
worst books sworn to by men
whose opinions carry weight would
create a greater freedom and boldness
among those misguided folk who draw
up lists of the worlds best books.
And in due season a natural man
might find in such lists some of his
real favorites, instead of the dull,
dead volumes that are now included
not ON merit, but by reason of the
power of tradition.

YOU CAN'T EARN MONEY
WHEN YOU'RE LAID UP

There are lot of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you can,
but certainly some of you can't, for as
soon as you are sick, your wages stop
and worry and debts begin to pile up
The sensible thing for you to do, as
soon as you feel run down and worn
out, no matter what the cause, is to
take something just as quick as you
can to build up strength and health.
Make yourself more comfortable and
provide against serious sickness.
We don't believe there is any other
medicine made that will do as much
towards saving your health and thus
helping you save your money as
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion. tits med
icine that gets right at the trouble and
relieves it by toning the nerves, enrich
ing the blood, and giving new strength
and health to the whole body. 1t
doesn't do this by means of alcohol or
habit forming drugs, because it con
tains none. Its strength and health
giving power is due to pure Olive OIL
and the Hypophosphites, long endor-
sed by successful physicians, the one
for its food value, the other for its
tonic value. Here, for the first time,
they are combined, and the result is a
real nerve, blood and body building
medicine-a real strengthened that
we are proud to tell you about. You
don't need to hesitate in using it, be-
cause if it doesn't do all We say it will
and satisfy you in every way, it will
cost you nothing, If it doesn't make
you strong and we'll again, come back
and get you money. 1t will be given
to your without word or question.

The Presidents Victory.

On the heels of so overwhelming a
victory in the House of Representatives
as that which the president has just
achieved, his Senate opponents can en-
terrain small hope of success. They may
stand out" for some time, since doing
so is full of possibilities of political ad-
vantage. Republican leaders, for ex-
ample, see in this chance to break
the prestige of the president by an APP
peal to the prejudice of many of the
supporters on whom his party can ordi-
narily count. And among the Demo
Gratis, particularly those who are com
ing up for reelection next fall, there
is feeling that perhaps "an issue" with
the president may have its advantages
as the time of balloting draws near, par
ticularly if unemployment becomes more
general and the bread line lengthens.
1t will accordingly be difficult to diff
ferentiate between senator's real opin-
ions from those which he thinks it po-
litically expedient for him to hold just
now. That difficulty has been in evil
dence in the House. If Mr.. Oscar w.
Underwood had not been fighting for
election to the United States Senate
against the swashbuckler Hobson, the
position of one conspicuous leader might
have been different. 1t is possible that
more Democrats in the House would
have followed Underwood if convinced
that he really wanted them to do so.
And despite all that Champ Clark said
yesterday of his freedom from the al
lurements OF ambition, no one can be-
lieve that obligations growing out of
his contest at Baltimore, notably to Mr..
Hearst, are without bearing on recent
debate.
However viewed, the president has
won great victory. He is still a pow
erful leader. The loss of his control over
his party forces, which has-been long
predicted, remains to come to pass

CAMP ABNAKI SEASON.
Boys Summer Resort Ready June rs
With Attractions of All Kinds.

The fourteenth season at Camp

Lake Champlain, opens June 25 and will
continue until August %. This camp
is located at Hibbard's point and is con.
Quoted by the state committee of the
Young Mems Christian association OF
Vermont. The committee realized that
a place where the boys OF the state
might meet for outdoor life, under
supervision and Christian leadership,
would be of inestimable value and so
have been conducting Camp Abnaki for
several years.
The camp is equipped with dining and
sleeping tents, cook shack, store, library
of 200 volumes, a long distance tele-
phone, and nearby are three fine swim
ming places, good field for baseball,
volley ball, track events and other
sports. The food is good and we'll pre-
pared and the surroundings such as win
favor with the boy of to-day. Byron n.
Clark, state secretary of Vermont, is
camp director and banded with him in
the work are competent leaders from all
parts of the state.
Trips will be taken during the sum
mer to the tops of Mount Mansfield and
Camels Hump, the cost of the first being
about $3.50 and of the second $3.50.
Boy scout work is carried on for those
who wish and an opportunity given for
passing the various degrees. A safe and
sane Fourth of July viii be held under
the direct supervision of the camp lead
ers, with an absence of all explosives.
Educational talks by noted men will be
features of the camping season and the
moral and religious life of every boy
will be as we'll looked after as in his
own home.
Any boy, who is over twelve years
old and is a member of any church, Sun
day school, church club, boy scouts
Y. M. c. A. or any similar club is well
come at the camp and the cost is only
$3.50 a week for all expense, if two
weeks or more is spent, otherwise it
will be about S. a week. Each camper
provides his own carfare.

Whatever is in the Irish mind is

and if they fall. they light on their feet.
They succeed as lawyers not only be-
cause they can play upon the jury, but
because they are quick in thrust and
parry. They abound in newspaper Of
fees because their Imagination enables
them to keep Gin touch" with the pub
lie mind. The Irishman rarely attains
the thorough knowledge of the German
physician; but he makes his mark as
surgeon because he is quick to perceive
and to decide when the knife discloses
grave, unsupported condition.
The Irishman accepts the Erse
proverb, Contention is better than lone
liness." His nature goes out to the
other fellow all the time" declares a
wise priest. The lodge meeting of a
Hibernian benevolent association is a
revelation of kindness and delicacy of
feeling in rough, toil-worn men, A great
criminal lawyer tells me that if he has
a desperate case to defend, he keeps the
cold blooded Swede off the jury and gets
an Irishman on, especially one who has
