 Nearly all those heroes of the olden time have crossed The Great Divide, and their guiding footprints have long since been obliterated by the onrusn of their mum berless- followers.

 THE LIFE OF JOHN CALDWELL
 CALHOUN.'
 By William M. Meigs The Neale Pub
 fishing company. publishers, New
 York
 Any attempt to study state rights, or the tariff, or the United States treasury or the development of the war depart ment, forces one to turn to a Life of John c. Calhoun. Hitherto. however, when the student of the internal torment from which our present nation was born has looked about him for g. satisfactory biography of the greatest of the expo nents of state rights. he has found in nearly every life that the Carolinian senator's views, having been presented almost altogether by partisan critics, have met with understanding in their interpretation. but. owing to the pasticty of prejudice have been remodeled into such shape as would please the ma jority of American readers. The need of an adequate, unbiased study of the great statemar's activities no longer exists. It has been met by the vigorous significant, learned accomplishment of MT. William NJ NIegs in the utterance of these two volumes.
 Ample indeed is this biography, but ample in no tedious way; and to the very amplitude of the authors constructive criticism of Calhoun's services is due to the books fruitfulness to the reader. A work is this that will appeal not only to the student of political history but to that vast public that is ever inter- ested in the famous figures of the past, whose shapes grow vague and dim In their niches. where falls Times shadow, until a kindly guide lifts his illuming torch aloft to bring into view some figure In all it's power and majesty.
 Not to mention the pictures that go to beautify these volumes would be an unpardonable omission. They are un- usual and rare-some being reproduced here for the first time-and form val uable addition to William M, Meig's tre- mendous study .The Life of John Cald- well Calhoun

ANOTHER
MAN is
SLUGGED

Harry Nichols, a photographer
at Camp Lewis, is the second vic
tim of a slugging at Camp Murray
in three weeks.
While waiting for a street car
at O'Clock Tuesday night he was
knocked unconscious by blow
ever the head struck from behind.
When Corp. Schmidt of the mil
itary police found the unconscious
man about 20 yards away from the
end of the street car line near a
dump of trees, an empty purse
was found near the body, indi-
eating that robbery was the mo-
tive for the smuggling.
The military police are looking
for man who is said to have been
following Nichols all day. Ac-
cording to Corp. Schmidt, Nichols
had complained to him earlier in
the day that a strange man had
been following him about the
camp. At that time Schmidt said
he jokingly told Nichols that If
he was slugged he would pick him
up and take him to the hospital.
Nichols was taken to the base
hospital. He probably will re-
cover. The weapon used in the
smuggling is believed to have been
a sand-bag.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. O.
At the instance of the aircraft
board, Senator Chamberlain has
introduced a bill authorizing the
president to commander standing
and fallen timber and timber lands
and to commander the facilities
for milling them.
It is apparent that the purpose
is to give further authority to the
spruce production division of the
aviation section of the signal
corps. which division Is now COM
manded by Col. Brice p. Disque of
the signal corps, at Vancouver
barracks.
Also 1t is clear that the same
authority will extend to getting
timber for the shipping board in
the event that it cannot be obtain
ed fast enough for its needs.
The bill provides that the COM
Wandering authority shall be adj
ministered by a board consisting
of the secretary of war, the sec
rotary of the navy and the chair
man Of the shipping board. 1t re-
quires that just compensation
shall be paid for whatever prop
erty is taken or used.
Under this bill, If it becomes
a law, orders may be issued to
commercial loggers and to lum-
Der mill owners to get out certain
sizes of logs and timbers, with
penalties of both fine and i'm
prisonment if they fail to obey.
Under it, also, government en-
ployes, such as Col. Disque's
force, could do the logging and
milling themselves.
