Socialism and the Ethics of Jesus
Says The New York Evening Post:
"Henry C. Vedder's Socialism and the
Ethics Of Jesus begins with a brief
history of socialistic principles and
parties in modern times, together with
a critical examination Of the principles
Of the present-day socialism. This is
followed by a study of the social
ethics of Jesus, including both the
fundamental principles and their chief
practical applications and an out
line Of the history of Christianity suffi-
cient to show to what degree the
church has failed to realize the social
ideal Of Jesus. The whole leads to
an inquiry concerning the fitting at
titude of those who profess the
religion Of Jesus to social questions
and socialism. 1t is a timely discus
sion Of a. popular theme. The book is
the outgrowth Of many years study
of the problems involved" (Mac-

IN PRAISE OF A M

The death Of the widow of Robert
Louis Stevenson the other day recalls
one of the sincere and fine studies OF
Ebert Hubbard, who, in his Great
Lovers" series, has described Mrs. ste
venson better than she has been de
scribed anywhere else:

opposite Of her husband in most
things. She was quick, practical,
accurate, and had a manual. dex-

VICTIM or AN EVIL SYSTEM.

The last legislature directed the railroad commission to devise a
proper system of bookkeeping or elevator companies. This has been
done N a number O.. the farmers and other independent companies have
adopted it. 1t is predicted that the time is not far distant when the
bookkeeping in the grain business will be practically all done OF one
system, and the grain companies will be examined and regulated just
as the state banks ar; When that day comes the grain business viii
and the farmers will have greater faith that they are always getting
a square deal when they sell their grain.
1t is reported that the railroad commission will compel all grain
companies organized between now and then. and who have not been
licensed, tt secure their license before any grain is bought; IN fact be-
fore the first day of August. The practice has heretofore been to permit
a house to open before h application TO license II ono a been
approved. This has not always proved satisfactory.
1t is lot generally known that he law requires every elevator in
the state to be licensed, whether the house is opened or closed. 1t is
probable that this requirement Of the aw will be enforced before the be-
ginning Of the mex grain buying season. After the houses have been

DR.. Bridges Effort,

Following is n of the latest poeti-
cal efforts of Robert, Lord Bridges, the
new poet laureate of England. 1t is
entitled Flycatchers, Had this efusion
been a product of his early days when
the muse was first manifesting itself in
the Isle of Thanet physician, 1t might
have passed the muster of the critics
and been pronounced an early indica-
ton of genius. u the fact that it is
given to the world as a finished poem
after he has become noet laureate, In
truth shows that either England's IL
terary talent is deteriorating or that
politics has been allowed to creep in
and further the interests of mediocrity.
1t cannot be that it Is because England
has no poetic. genius to fill this high
post when such a mar as Rudyard Kip
ling still lives. In every way would
the writer of The Recessional be an in
comparable bard of whom the world
which claims him. 1t is a steep descent
from Lord Tennyson to DR.. Bridges. A
note of regret was expressed when
Queen Victoria appointed Alfred Austin
was a deeper note Of sorrow that was
heard when King George named DR..

Contemporary History.

AS a teacher Of American govern
ment and politics, Prof. Charles A.
Beard of the faculty Of Columbia uni
versity. says that he has met large
numbers Of students who have no
knowledge of the most elementary
facts of American history since the
Civil war. When taken to task for
this negelct the reply Is. according
to the distinguished author, that there
is no text book dealing with the
period and that the smaller histories
are sadly deficient in their treatment
Of our age.
1t is to supply the general reader as
Wi as the student with a handy
guide to the history OF this country
between the years of 1877 n 1918

new work. Contemporary American

Up from his country home Sandy
goes to London. And there he has his
great adventure What it is and the
story OF his success and OF his love is
told by s.. r. Crockett in a fashion
which will convince many people that
this is quite the most satisfactory now
ell he has ever written. Full OF the
vigor OF life, with a wit and hurnor
that win tha reader even as they won
his associates, Sandy is a CHEEKY kind
Of hero and the tale of his experiences
Of that inspiring type which fires mer
and women, too--oSi to the accom-

pealing a figure is ". W, the girl with

The Reformation in Germany.
The story OF the reformation is here
retold by DIR. Henry G. Vedder in the
light Of newer historical theory and
the results Of a generations research
at hand. This is the first attempt, in
the English language, at least. to in
terpret the religious struggle of the
sixteenth century in terms of econom-
les. Founded on. a careful study OF the
sources, the work takes due account or
the mass Of material that has accumu-
lated but recognizes also that the art
of historical narration should not be
secondary to the science of historical
investigation. If the authors %concius-
ions are accepted many an idol may be
shattered, many a theory Consigned to
the limbo of false ideals, but a clearer
and truer appreciation of the signii-
canoe and worth of the reformation
what it really was and what it actually
accomplished-should be the result.

publication of Luther's eheses' makes
