The INTELLECTUAL TENDENCY

Americans are reading only 80 per cent
as many books as they did seven years ago,
il the number of titles published in 1910 and
1917, which are 1910 and 1O,445, respect
lively. are an index. By this is meant the
number of books on all subjects, without
reference to the size of the edition.
Only in history has there been an in
crease-by events of the past men arc4
seeking to understand the present and for
see the future. In religion, domestic econ
omy. pottery and drama, fiction, and
geography and travel, the decrease has
been noted.
What is the cause?
Naturally the high price of paper has dis
Ccuraged publication. But there are other
causes as WELLINGTON rides, moving pic
lures, high cost of living.
But greatest of all, perhaps, is the daily
press, whose circulation has increased so
wonderfully during the years of war. Not
only does give the stirring events Of the
day. but its economies, fiction and other
special departments satisfy the needs for-
Iuerly supplied by books.
Book reading may fall off still further

Oh standards of efficiency are not alcquat

action is the characteristic of the age, and
books cannot deliberations World changes
are happening faster than books can be
written; facts are become more exciting
than fiction And men are reading the
papers more because they are thinking in
headlines and acting in bulletins; they
read fewer books because they are learning
more things.

Alas, that the hope is founded on such
auicksands of logic!
AS the Jacksonville Times-Unon points
out, there is nothing strange in the coinci-
dcnce that the date of birth, the time they
succeeded to office, the years in office and
the age of the nine presidents and kings
should add up to 1884, the double of 1917

man went into office plus the number of
years he has served will also equal the

of the Gazette have simply added both sets
of figures and the total is accordingly
double the present year.
Had the mystic prosecuted his calcula-
tons last year, he would have proved lust
as cOnclusively that the war would end in
1916, or in 1915, had he done it in
1915. And SO On-he could have proved
that the war ended the year before it

NO POLITICAL AMBITIONS.

1t was inevitable that Pershing should
be mentioned for the presidency and his
denial of political ambition is timely.
He is a soldier, pure and SIMPLE" said
lis brother. Il couldn't tell YOU whether
he IS republican or democrat"
America has uniformly rewarded its
successful soldiers with the chief magis-
tracy, but they were successful because
they thought only of their military plans
and had no political designs.
Pershing's answer, through his brother,
IS sufficiently plain rebuke to those who
think personal preferment is the only
spring OF human action-that the salvation
of humanity is merely a stepping stone to
4 selfish ambition. Pershing is thinking
OF his cause, and that is why we feel so con
fdcnt about him. "AGv brother" saws

County Firemen Meet

The October meeting of the Burling-
ton County Firemen's Association was
held in the house of the Riverside Fire
Co., No. l, on Wednesday evening.
Fl companies were represented. Presi-
dent Benners addressed the convention
and said he had visited Camp Dix on
the invitation of Major General Ken
nedv to discuss fire protection. Ar
engagements have been made for the
county association to assist in protec-
ting government property at the camp
when aid is asked.
The Home Defence committee of the
Delaware County Fireman's Associa-
ton OF Pennsylvania has drawn up a
set OF rules governing the fire depart
ments and their territory, and a com
mittee Of three was appointed to look
the rules over and revise them for
adoption by the local organization.
Louis Gray, Florence; Richard Horn,
Burlington, and John d. Seaman, of
Riverside were named as the commit
tee.
The question of interference with
fire apparatus in responding to alarms
was again taken up. The latest case
was that of farmer driving a wagon
on narrow stone road, who refused to
give way to the fast motor combina-
ton OF the Vincent Fire Co., OF Vim
centown, causing them to turn out in
the sand and stall their motor. This
made delay of several minutes,
which means a lot of time in case of
fire. 1t was decided that the next case
Of interference would be prosecuted un-
der the law as it seems necessary to
teach people that fire apparatus has
the right of way.
Lawrence G.. Mingen, of the Union
Fire Co., of Medford, who was elected
vice president for the Second Congress
sional District at the annual conven-
ton Of the New Jersey State Firsmen' s
Association, was called on for a speech.
Hesthanked the members for the as
sistance given him in the election and
promised to represent this district
faithfully at the meetings of the ex-
ecutive committee.
& The next meeting being the annual
session, President Benners appointed
chief Farrow, Of Marlton; Mr.. Clark, OF
Mt. Holly, and Mr.. Allen, of Vincen-
town, as auditors.
Mr.. Cramer, invited the association
to hold its next meeting in Beverly,
which was accepted. Assistant secte-
tary Worsnop moved vote of thanks
be extended to the Riverside fremen,
after which the meeting adjourned
and the members partook of a lunch
con prepared by their hosts.
