The Things Of the Soul
Some Book. About Faith, Morals
and Practice

Two handsome octave volumes from
the Riverside Press contain selected
editorial articles and public addresses
BY the late Harvey W. Scott, for forty
wears editor Of "The Oregonian,' OF
Portland, Ore; dealing with religion,
theology and morals. They are OF SUD-
stantial value, as the products of sin,
cere and scholarly thinker, animated
by the noblest Of motives; and they
are of special interest as demonstra-
ton of the intellectual wealth and llt.
erary distinction of vast volume OF
writings which supercilious critlcasters
too often affect to scorn as mere
newspaper stuff"
The Rev. Z. II. Keenan, discusses the
question "Do We Need New Idea OF
God?" in a little volume Of that TUE
issued by George w. Jacobs q Co,
from a point of view which would have
been more appropriate generation
ago than now The best parts, OF the
"new idea" for which he pleads have
already been developed in the theology
of intelligent believers.
Professor Francis Greenwood Pea
body, of Harvard, considers THE Re

various points of view, all Of which are
marked with thoughtfulness, reverence
and patriotism. 1t is a volume pecul-
iarly pertinent to this time, and is to
be most cordially commended to par
cnts, teachers, pastors, employers,
statesmen, and indeed TO all who are
concerned in the elevation Of American
citizenship to the highest ethical
standards.

Like ancient Gaul, this highly i'm
portant work might be divided into
three parts, according to the three gem
eral divisions of its theme. One deals
with the confessed ambitions Of Ger
man Imperialism, TO despoil by con-
quest many lands, placing their terri
tories beneath the German flag, and to
make German authority dominant in all
parts of the world. The second is the
persistent preaching Of violent policies
and "blood and iron" in German poll
tics. The third is the monstrous dis
regard of international law Of which
Germany has been guilty in the present
war; a phase of the subject of which
the world might be thought already to
have had a surfeit, If it were possible
to exploit and emphasize too much
matter Of so supreme importance to
every civilized and law-abiding nation.

Introduction by Harry A Wheeier. svo. Do S2s.

The relationship Of government to
business is the real theme on MI.
Noxon's exceedingly interesting and in
structive book, theme upon which his
long experience in journalism and in
railroad and other business has made
him an authority. He appreciates the
tremendous Importance Of that rela-
in an Industrial and CONNER
cial country such as ours, where year
by year the chief problems of govern,
ment are becoming more economical
than political. He recognizes at once
the grave and costly errors which have
been made, and the completely and DIFF
fculty of the problems presented for

is admirable, BETTING true soldier
that is to say, it is modest, restrained
and judicious, with no trace OF the
swashbuckling Of the rampant pacihst
or of the omniscience of the civilian on
military affairs. The scope is vast, and
the treatment is, therefore, necessarily
succinct, at times almost curt; but 1t IS
always interesting and always val uaoiy
informing. The author shows himseif
a master in the use of ink; and he does
so in a way which convincingly De.

whole, decidedly optimistic, looking for
solution of the problems, If not
theoretically ideal, at least so practical
ly ideal as to be satisfactory.
His volume is not a history nor
business manual, nor treatise on po-
litical economy, nor a sociological tract,
though it combines to a certain extent
all those characteristics and others be-
sides, and it is written in readable
and indeed interesting style. removing
it far from any suspicion of the. dis

intelligent and thoughtful "man in the

the determination of our governmental

SCHO0LLANDS
FUND NOT FOR
PATRIOTIC Use
Sacred Trust Townleyites
Wanted to Grab is Not
For Liberty Loan.

Bismarck. N. D.. June 15.-On the
v Of the close of the Liberty Loan
campaign, the board Of university
and school lands declined to consider
former Governor Hanna's proposal
that the state reinvest in Liberty
bonds 100000 of the $50.000,000 to
$6b.OOO,000 school land fund which
has been created for North Dakota
by federal land grant.
The specific reason given for not
taking up the matter was the absence
OF Governor Frazier, who spent yes
terday in Mott with President A. C..
Townley Of the Nonpartisan league,
addressing a league rally. Governor
Frazier is said to have been favor
in the bonds when a previous meet
ing was held, but 1t seems that his
ten days campaigning with Townley
has caused him to change his mind.
Another reason given by the board
for ignoring this opportunity to ex-
press the states gratitude to Uncle
Sam for his gift Of millions Of acres
LANCER has held that such an invest
ment would be illegal. in spite Of the
fact that the state heretofore has in
vested in bonds other than state,
county and municipal.
This 10 interesting when it is No.
called that the Townleyites In the last
legislature tried to get hands on the
fund for other purposes.
There is only $4,000 surplus now
in the fund.-" said a member Of the
board today. IF the Red River VAL
ley carries out its big drainage pro-
jects It will need a loan Of at least a
million; the farmer will need. money

should be a crop shortage, there will
