A GENIUS OUT OF THE WEST

1t is cntertaining to listen tn the
philosophers Of the little Iowa town
n Sherwood Andersons story "f
windy McPhcrsOn's Son Dohn Lane
Company). John Teller, gentleman of
leisure. cultivated in the art atmos-
pherc of Paris, shines with pleasant
luminosity in the group that included
the blacksmith. the butter and egg
man, Freedom Smith by name. and
sam, the ns'ysboy, son of Mcpherson.
Telfer was wonderful in the manipula-
tion of his cane His noursh'ng OF
this ornament makes dashes and para
bolas OF grace and light through many
pages OF the tale.
There Is no failure In showing that
Young Sam was smart. His genius
easily enabled him to outsell the train
uewsboys on their own trains. Be
fore they could alight and get their
supplies Sam had sold the Chicago
newspapers to all the passengers, His
feet were winged and he had assur-
ance. Besides. he was master o.
strategy. He was as wise as Ulysses
with that hero's power or particular
application. Jerry Donlin, the baggage
man at the station. was glad to pile
trunks on the bundles OF newspaper
! sought feverishly by the train news
boys. There was no wickedly plotted
delay for Sam. His strategic mint
assured him of the disposal of hi!
merchandise.
Sam chokcd his father, bihuou'
and boasttul veteran OF the civil war
lie dragged out the body in the night
AT the fence before the house IN
stopped and threw his burden dow

the Kaiser, takes an active part In
these intrigues; his companion usually

The adventures are as a rule capital

by the unexpected ethical standards
set up by the vagrant. by the sudden
disclosure OF unsupported motives and
by the often startling consequences Of
his efforts to aid. He has given up

right and wrong and has lost faith in
the efficacy Of human interference.

the matter fully: all suggest that pro-
priety demands that he should kill him

There he comes across another hard
case; woman who has served a SEN

she In innocent but which was proved
against her by satisfactory evidence
which oven her husband believed. The
doctor after time Is able to gather
evidence that establishes her inno-

with a charming girl and has reason
to believe that he can win her. The
lover OF. the girl he shot. however

American Efficiency.

We hear so much about German eff.
cheney that we are apt to forget Amer
lean efficiency. Let it not be forgot
ten that the first essential of eff.
cheney is the conception and initiation
of practical and constructive ideas.
In this regard the United States has
led and still leads the world Indeed.
not a few Of the inventions which
have made warfare so efficient" have
sprung from American minds, just as
inventions which have done most in
stimulating agricultural and manufac.
turing progress have come from this
side of the Atlantic. The Germans
have excelled in applying important
ideas and important inventions to the
various departments of economic ac.
tivity. The American bent is to int.
tiate; it does not always excel
in the painstaking work which must
follow the launching of a great idea.
Yet there are scores OF examples
ready to hand in this country of q
surprising efficiency not only of con
ception and initiation, but of sytem.
attic achievement as well.-Financia
