There was good congregation on
hand at the morning services yester-
day morning to greet the new pas
tor, Rev. T. l. Beck, who for his
Introductory sermon took his text in
Rom. "No man liveth unto him.
self" his central thought was that no
man has right to live as he pleases,
as our lives are not our own but were
bought by price, the blood of our
Master. The new preacher is an
earnest worker, tireless in his eff
forts to promote the kingdom of
God upon earth and with the proper
help of his people which he request
ed, he may accomplish great things
for His Master.
For the first time the pipe organ
filled the church with its volume of
sounds under the touch of Mr..
John A. Pharr, the organist, and the
possibilities Of good music in the
near future were apparent.
At night, the preacher took for
his text: "What think We of Christ
and delivered a strong discourse
which was listened to attentively by
those present.

THE BOSWELL OF AMERICAN POLITICS
Edward Sanwood Man of Letters Affairs Written
Standard History of the Presidency-Plays Whist and
Courts Sleep by Extracting the Cube Root
BY GEORGE W. DOUGLAS

TT is not given TO many men to write
l. book which has n continuous sale for
more than thirty years Some of the great
novelists and poets have done II, and
few historians An American to whom this
honor has come II Edward Stanwood. His
great book. THE History Of the Presidency
Qoughton- Miffin Company, Bostonl was
first published In 1854, under the title OF
History of Presidential Elections" II was
conceived while Mr.. Stanwood was editor
OF the Boston Advertiser. This was In the
days when every good Bostonian would as
soon have gone without his coffee for
breakfast as begin the day without reading
what the Advertiser had TO say Mr.. Stan
wood retired from the Advertiser when
there was a change OF ownership In 1883
and became managing editor of a weekly
paper OF national circulation. The greater
leisure there gave him time 20 produce his
book in its first form.
In all the years since then he has been
working on II. revising It. polishing 1t, cor
recting and recasting. until the last edition
just from the press is in the form which
pleases him. II brings the history up to
the election Of Wilson in 1912. with an
appendix giving the platforms and candi-
dates this year.
When Mr.. Stanwood's second book OF
consequence was published a few years
ago, American Tariff Controversies Of the
Nineteenth Century" I asked him about
how II was selling after 1t had been on
the market a few weeks. He confessed
that II was not popular success" In the
sense of becoming best seller.
But" he continued, II am not writing
books to make money. want TO leave
behind me a few books with my name on
the title page Of which my children can
be proud"
That is the spirit in which he has worked
He has spent weeks TO my knowledge In

tiles. His report on the subject for the
census OF 1900 is a mine of information
about the industry not only in the United
States. but in the rest OF the world AL
though he Is a protectionist. his book on
the tariff is impartial and recites the his
tory OF the great controversies over the
framing Of schedules with fairness and
accuracy which has made the book valued
by all who wish to know the facts.
IL In this determination TO get at the truth
which has made his history OF the presi-
dency the standard and authoritative work
IN the field. II stands alone. Although sew
eral other books have been written on the
same subject. they are not to be compared
with his Some of them are palpabiy
nothing more than a rewriting and reas-
sembling Of the information which Mr..
Stanwood has collected. That by the late
Colonel Mcclure, of this city reproduced
the tables OF election returns from the early
editions Of Mr.. Stanwood's books with the
Inaccuracies that they contained. II is said
that there were typographical errors in
some of the tables. and that these. too,
were copied. Mr.. Stanwood himself cor
rected all the inaccuracies in later editions
Some men who have written on the subject
have been gracious enough 10 acknowledge
their indebtedness TO Mr.. Stanwood
The book Is more than history of the
presidency. II comes as near to being
political history of the United States as
anything that has yet appeared. II tells
how the early candidates for the presidency
were nominated. how the congressional
caucus dominated national nominat tions
how the first real convention was called
and summarizes the issues in each cam
paign. The history OF the first dark horse
is told. And there Is not political party
OF any consequence which has appeared from
the beginning an account OF whose origin
and rise Is not given, along with how Il dis
appeared II II has not survived The book
is concluded with a chapter on the evolution
OF the presidency. In which regret is ex-
pressed that the Chief Executives Of recent
years have assumed TO be third house Of
the Congress and TO magnify their powers
far beyond the purpose of the Constitution
The chapter on the Republican split OF 1912,
however. is probably the most interesting
at the present time. In II Mr. Stanwood
maintains that the radicalsm of Roosevelt
was bound to cause disaffection In the
party. which had been transformed from a
radical party into a conservative one. The
Democracy. which was once the conserva-
tive party. he asserts. has become more
radical than Republicanism was at the be-
ginning and he insists that a realiKnment
Of the voters was Inevitable as soon as
radcalism began 20 challenge the SUI
premacy OF conservatism In the Republican
organization. AS Mr. Stanwood Is a con-
servative he Is not an admirer OF Colonel
Roosevelt. but he manages to treat the dis
tinguished faunal naturalist with the same
fairness that governs him throughout the
book

Plucked from the bottom OF the lea.

Blasted and burned their lives away
And with them other voices spoke.
And spoke more dreadfully than they.
Terrible sounds of woe and strife

Women who gave the mill their life,
And men who shuddered At the loom
The noise che snarling hammer made
In maddened ears the foundry's roar.
The hands that stitched the rich brocads
That beat the brass. that hewed the door
