they were also quiet, unassuming
gentlemen. Sherman | only saw
after the war was over; but ne
then impressed me much, more
than any of those | have named
He bore the stamp OF true genius:
OF two conspicuous generals, Butter
and Hooker, his criticisms are vltrl-
Ollie. But in most instances there IS
fine reserve, and in all cases there IS
convincing air of complete sincerity ana
personal disinterestedness IN his COM
ments upon men and affairs. The same
rule holds good i'm his long chapter on
his distinguished work as a railroad ad-
ministrator. Indeed. there is a grateful
absence of the vehement passions which
were characteristic Of his two Presiden-
tial ancestors, and there IS temperate
candor above all praise. He highly ap-
preciated the personality OF Jefferson
Davis, whose political course he de-
tested. For Charles Sumner, on the
other hand, he felt ian admiration
closely verging on Affection and he
strongly sympathiZed with his politics.
Yet Summers famous speech on "The
Barbarism Of Slavery" chiefly con-
WINGED Adams that Sumner was not
nearly so great a man as he had sup
posed and hoped, for the speech was "a
farrago Of newspaper items not
marked by good temper or pervaded by
inspiration On another occasion, IN
private conversation, Sumner talked
like a crazy man, repeating himself and
doing everything but reason. It
was very painful
In such fashion, with marvellous
combination Of comprehensiveness ana
condensation, he brings his autobiog-
raphy down to "wednesday, March 81
1912, S:45 a. m.," just week less than
three years before his death. The
Memorial Address delivered by Senator
Lodge before the Massachusetts, His
torical Society forms an appropriate
and congruous preface to the narrative,
and the resulting whole is a volume OF
exceptional if not unique interest. An
historian of rare gifts in the study and
elucidation of events and problems
Adams did no better work than in this
"autobiographical sketch" as he termed
il. which he modestly characterized as
material from which a memoir might
be prepared, but which proved 70 be so
finished as 10 leave the editors work
sinecure. 1t is the personal docu-
ment" of rare and commanding per-
sonality.

BY MOTOR To THE GOLDEN CATE. BY Emily
Pos. Illustrated gl VIA Pho ssnit6o S"9 20 ROAD
Mrs. Post started out to see the San
Francisco Exposition. She saw a great
deal of her own country-for the first
time. Said the frank Santa Fe lady to
her:
"You aren't English? Then
you're either from New York or
Boston-it amounts to the same
thing Ever been to Europe"
We had.
Ever been out here before"
We hadn't.
81 knew it! knew It the very
first moment | clapped eyes on
you'll"
Like a monograph she recited
long TRADE on the topic of Amer
leans who spend money in Europe
and neglect their own country"
Let US begin at the beginning, how
ever. Mrs. Post, her elder son and
woman friend Of hers decided to go TO
San Francisco by automobile, sans
chauffeur, sans maid. sans surplus
baggage sent on ahead by express.
They had heard of the Lincoln High
way. Their friends had heard of It,
too; tourist agencies had heard OF it,.
but nobody could tell them anything
definite about it. The Lincoln High
way Commission itself, when appealed
to. was so vague as TO be of no par
ticular service. So they decided "just
to start out and ask the people living
along the road which was the best way
further on" The young man in charge
of the tourist bureau Of the American
Automobile Club highly approved OF
their decision. 1t relieved him Of all
responsibility.
One great service Mrs. Post has rem
dercd her country and all that dwell
therein and plan to tour t-she has
slain the hoary tradition that outside
our large cities, and west of the Missis-
sippi, there are no good hotels and no
good cookery. She grows enthusiastic
over the comfort and the cuisine in
towns that most of US have never heard
Of And if occasionally she had to
rough it. why, having been abroad, she
could fall back on comparisons with
that very bad hotel at Biskra, for in
stance, where she put up with many
discomforts fully as great because II
was in Biskra.
She has sense of humor which
leavens her pages from first to last. At
Davenport, Iowa. the hotel clerk mys-
teriously whispered 10 her son that
he should take the ladies 70 a movie
show; send them TO bed and then take
in the cabaret and tangoing that were
going on late into the night at another

failed TO recognize the easy possibility
OF acquiring "the faculty of reading
Greek as a living language" and Of
thus, 10 quote him again, being "ini-
tiated into charming literature" II
for the last fifty years Greek and
Latin had thus been taught, should we
now be banning them as an outworn
college fetch?
Adams's observations OF politics and
Of public men and life at Washington
and throughout the country during the
intensely interesting and important
transformation era of the Buchanan
Administration and in the first Lincoln
campaign were notably shrewd and
sound, and he set them down in his
autobiography with refreshing frank
ness; sometimes from memory and
sometimes in citations from his early
writings. We should go far before we
found anything of the kind superior 70

Patriotic Pageants.
Constance Darcy Mackay. author Of
Memorial Day Pageant" Harper &
Bros), suggests that if this pageant
is given by a community the parts
should be divided among the different
schools and societies in the town, and
that these community societies should
be held responsible for the costumes.
This, she says, will divide expense and
labor so that no one will have too
much to do. Miss Mackay has had
much experience in producing outdoor
plays. Her Memorial Day Pageant"
was acted last Fourth of July in lii

Political Epigrams.
Senator Paxton, the hero Of Samuel
G.. Blythe's new novel. "A Western
Warwick" George II. Doran Company,
has happy knack Of turning his po-
litical wisdom into epigrams:
Every time we felt it necessary
TO exhibit our infant industries we
had to shave them.
The people inherit most of their
politics and guess the rest.
Passing the buck, in three words
of the vernacular. describes the
whole theory and practice of OFF,
cial Washington.
Tho difference between reform
movement in politics and an old
line party movement is that the old
liners have bosses while the re-
formers have leaders, and the old
liners run "A machine while the fe-
formers conduct en- organization.
He was a friend of the masses,
and the classes were friends of his.
An agitation for a change al

port if the legislators spread the
hope there may he some change in
