No Ship Building. X
Shipbuilding, with the exception of
warships, has been practically at
standstill since fighting began, they
point out. This means, they say,
that the supply of vessels has not
been kept up in proportion to the
worlds increasing demand. More
than this, emphasis is laid on the fact
that there has been, first and last, a
heavy destruction of ocean-going
craft by mines and submarines, add
ing greatly to the shortage the world
already feels and they will feel more
keenly with the post-bellum revival
Of International trade.
Finally, it is argued, that the ships
which have simply been laid up in
port because they dared not sail the
seas, are slowly deteriorating from
disuse and will be more and more
nearly worthless the longer the war
lasts. 1t will take years, the Nor
wegians maintain, to restore an
equality between the supply and de-
mand for ships for purely CONNER
cial purposes. 49,
To Continue Profits.
During all these years Norway ex-
poets to continue gathering in huge
profits, dwindling, perhaps, as time
progresses, but gradually reaching
satisfactory normal, without any
violent shock and with the Norweg-
ians finally the worlds second nation
as traders on the seas. The recent
influx of cash money has had it's ef-
feet in all lines. The shipping trade
has felt it most but mining, manufac-
ture and every other line of industry
has been enormously stimulated. An
average of big new development
company daily is floated in Christian
ia. Industrially the Scandinavian
countries have been kept back by an
inadequate fuel supply. Develop
ment of the Spitzbergen coal mines
has been begun with the new capital
furnished by the belligerents, on a
large SCALE
Spitzbergen, which seems in the
United States like almost the last
place on earth, is mentioned in Chris
tiania as if it were no more remote
than Alaska seems to Seattle. The
coal mined there is declared to be the
best quality bituminous and with it
the Norwegians speak of making their
country, in the near future, one of
the biggest manufacturing nations of
the world.
Has the Norwegian workingman re-
ceived fair share of the war profits?
No; Norwegians generally declare
that the belligerents' money has gone
into few hands. Still, they say, their
country's workers are better paid
than those of any other country in
Europe. They are hopeful that
better adjustment between the classes
is not far Instant. A concrete reason
why Sweden and Denmark have not
gained as much from the war as has
Norway unquestionably lies in the
fact that Norway possessed the one
thing needed to take advantage of
the situation, ships, and that Sweden
and Denmark did not.

industrial work. And she had more
than one glimpse of the sex danger.
Incidentally. Mr.. Chase confirms the
result of an experiment made by Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson, who dressed him
self in workman's clothes, and passed
his friends and acquaintance unrec-
ognized. They barely glanced at his
garb, and failed 10 see him. Again,
in his account Of his trip TO America
in the steerage, Stevenson told us that
his companions there, workingmen,
failed to perceive that he was not OF
their class. So Mr.. Chase:
Our story was always accepted
without question. We were uni
versally received as n homeless,
joblcss couple. Margarets desire
TO work was always regarded as
genuine. Any idea that we or our
friends may have entertained as
to certain quality of distinction
in our bearing that might perhaps
be difficult to hide-such ideas COL
lapsed with alarming suddenness.
We were from this time on nobod-..
les. Boston" always explained our
accent.

he was yet a university president and
had not been nominated even for the
Governorship which he made a step
ninc-stono 70 the White House. His
VIEWS. which are almost exclusively
theoretical and academic, arc therefore
more disinterested and detached than
those which he might now or hereafter
express. His discrimination between
what he deity terms the Newtonish
and Darwinian theories of government
is apt and profitable, as is also his ref
erence of the origin of the Presidency
10 the Wing craftsmanship of England;
though we must wonder, then, at the
investment Of the President with the
absolute veto power, in the Sine oil
George III, when that power had not
existed in England since Anne's reign.
In view of the limitations concern
ING legislative and other operations
during some recent years it is inter
esting to recall what Mr.. Wilson said
IN 1903 about the illegitimate means
by which the President may influence
the action Of Congress:
He may bargain with members,
not only with regard to appoint
monts, but also with regard 10
legislative measures. He may use
his local patronage to assist mem
bers to get or retain their seats.
He may interpose his powerful in
fluence. in one covert way or an
other. in contests for places in the
Senate. Such things are not
only deeply immoral, they are de-
structive of the fundamental un-
derstandings of constitutional gov
Cf
tional government itself. They are
sure, moreover, in a country Of
free public opinion, to destroy both
the fame and the power of the
man who dares to practise them. &.
The reDrobation of all good
men vii, always overwhelm such
influences with shame and failure.
We must regret that Mr.. Wilson
thought il necessary TO express the
opinion that the other nations of the
world doubted the truthfulness and
sincerity of John Hay as Secretary
Of State, and suspected a hidden de-
sign under every utterance he made,
and We must wonder where he received
that impression concerning states
man who was conspicuously, above
most other men Of his own or any time,
regarded by the world with credence
ard confidence. We can unhesitatingly
aglee with him in thinking that the
best statesmen we can produce will be
needed to fill the Office of Secretary Of
State but we must wonder at the
manner in which he fulfilled those
words by selecting Mr.. Bryan as his
first choice for that supremely impor-
tant Office. Truly. it is one thing 70
view the Presidency from afar of and
quite another to occupy the office and
practically to administer its duties;
However, il was as an academic and
detached consideration OF the .neory
of the Presidency that Mr.. Wilson's
lecture was intended, and not as pro-
phetic commentary upon his own ad-
ministratior.

national but also an international fig
ure. keenly and beneficently interested
in the diplomatic relationships Of the
Republic. In laboring for the cree
ton of great fame of his faith at
the capital he was animated by sew
eral motives. One was. of course, the
natural desire that the diocese should
have suitable cathedral churah.
There can be no reproach in assuming
that he also desired that his own
communion should be as well repre-
sented at the capital as any other
branch of the Church. Certainly 1t
was altogether praiseworthy for him
to desire that the Christian Church,
and even the Protestant Episcopal
Church, should be as greatly magni-
fed as possible in the eyes of those
representatives of all the lands and
faiths Of the world who make Wash
ington their American sojournlng
place.
He was a man-as these luminous
and sympathetic pages depict him,
and as his own writings, freely quoted,
portray him-of exceptional power
and charm of personality; and of un-
failing and all-prevailing spiritual
mindedness. He was man among
men, citizen among citizens; but as
such. in society, in diplomacy, in all
the relationships and activities of his
increasingly active and efficient ca
reer, he was supremacy an Apostle Of
the Faith. II is such that his loving
disciple and biographer reveals him
in a book marked with fine self-sup-
rression-indeed, we might wish that
Bishop Brent had put more of himself
into the book - unfaiing taste, a
gentle play of humor. and an appre-
citation far better than mere enthusi-
assn for his subject would have been.
1t is in all respects a most satisfying
work; in which, to repeat our first
suggestion, subject and author are
each happy in the other; and in which
in these days of too often sloppy
book manufacturing it is pleasant to
record-the publishers have done their
part worthily Of both.

LITERARY CRITICISM

the Presdency-Bishop Satterlee-A New
Play by George Middleton.

that IL is part Of the Constitution
which needs to be regarded very dis.
creetly, with a judicious blending OF
! conservatism and courage.
This is, of course, only small part
of the book. which, despite its pocket
size, is notably comprehensive. 1t be-
gins with the problem which con
| fronted the Constitution makers, TO
find successful middle ground be
tween the offensive one-man power OF
George III, which drove the Colonies TO
revolt, and the futile norman power
Of the Congress of the Confederation,
which made one Of the ghastliest gov
ernmental failures in history. Thence
it takes up the legislative functions Of
the President, particularly the veto
power: the executive functions, the
Cabinet, and the scope of executive au-
thority; the power of appointment, the
execution of laws, judicial functions,
and the command Of the army and
navy; foreign relations; the impor-
lance of the power OF recognition as
shown in the Huerta case; and inter
national arbitration and the folly Of de-
handing that the Senate must, con-
stitutionally, pass upon the arbltra-
bility of every issue that Is raised IN
advance Of its submission to tri-
bunal.
In fact, the duties, powers, oppor-
tunites and limitations Of the Presi-
dency are comprehensively discussed
by that man who is of all living men
perhaps the best fitted, by expert
ence, knowledge and temperament, to
discuss them in an illuminating and
profitable manner. The book abounds
in apt citations from the experience
and records not only of his own ad-
ministration. but of the administrations
of many other Presidents, and it is
notably free from even n suspicion Of
political bias or personal prejudice
II is written with the lucidity of style
and the sweet reasonableness of spirit
which are Characteristic of Mr.. Tafts
compositions, so it is easy and de-
lightful reading TO the lay citizen, as
well as suggestive and instructive to
the student OF governmental affairs.

A HONEYMOON EXPERIMENT By Marsar-
All s,u,rt Chase. l2mo. ~. lj9. Tie Houghtol
Mriin Company.
The experiment of the authors OF
this record Of its results does not re-
commend itself as the pleasant way
of spending honeymoon, but then
they explain, il was the only time they
could give to their venture, the only
period in life when the world our own
immediate part of it-leaves us really
and truly alone. So the newly married
couple elected TO go to Rochester TO
endeayor to earn their livelihood by
working. In other words, they joined
the ranks of the unemployed.
Neither had given any previous
thought to the problem, beyond reach
ing the general conclusion that there is
something seriously wrong with our
economic system; that the theory OF
their own wel-to-do circle that there
is work for all who are willing 70 work
is fallacious and unjust. Nowhere in
their book do they give the slightest
hint of familiarity with the voluminous
literature of the problem. The conclu-
sions they draw, each from his own ex-
perience, differ widely. Mr.. Chase ad-
yocates labor exchanges and unemploy-
ment bureaus on the German system.
Mrs. Chase demands woman suffrage,
which will regulate hours of labor and
their enforcement and establish n min
imum wage for.women.
The man discovered that poverty and
dirt go together; he. in his physical
exhaustion and encouragement of
days and days of vain search for en-
ployment or of underpaid overwork,
came to understand why the bathtub
OF the poor is of most service as re-
oeptacle for coal. He came TO appreci-
ate the popularity OF the cheap movies
as refuge from the depressing
squalor of home" represented by a
cherries room for light housekeeping.
He investigated business opportuni-
ties" and their swindles, found that
people are not discharged, but laid
off," and, after establishing S25 as the
minimum on which a couple can live
with some small measure of enjoy
ment of life. confesses that after eight
weeks of experiment he reached the
conclusion that the sort of drab ex-
istencc led by the majority is not
worth while.
