THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PENN
SYLyANIAN. By Samuel Whit
aker Pennypacker. Governor Of
Pennsylvania. 1903-1907. Philadel-
phia: The John C. Winston Com
pany.
In this "unaltered, unexpurgated
and unedited" chronicle. the reader
gets the impressions, good. bad. but
never Indifferent, of one 'PennsyIva-
nian" concerning the men and events
Of his times. In book Of more than
500 pages covering many years Of
public life, there is. naturally, room
for criticism Of certain human antag-
onisms, with whom the author came
in touch. So pervading is the pun
gency of fair play, however, that any
lambasted politician who cares to see
himself as Samuel W. Pennypacker
saw him will have to admit that the
picture il uncolored BY any vindictive-
ness Of personal grudge. Warm praise
is as readily accorded. notably, in a
chapter entitled Miniatures" in
which. for one illustrative quotation.
Uncle Joe" Cannon Is etched as "a
tall. grixzled. gaunt and homely man.
with q fund Of anecdotes from the
prairies. and with rugged bluntness of
phrase he gives the impression Of pos
sessing character and resolution"
Wise in the knowledge that ,'-the
life OF every man has value as well
as interest for his fellows" the au-
thor begins with bis birth upon 4

power to pow-wow and to see fairies

many chapters descriptive Of Gov:
Pennypacker's public career. and OF
the official honors which his state
showered upon him along the way. but

time that flying started on the Pa

Miss stinson, had some Interesting

the women are not going to stand

SO they will take up the great sport
of flying when they realize that 1t
isn't really anything to be afraid of.
'Of course. will not be so rash as
to say that any woman can fly as

equally wrong to assert that any
man can fly as well as any women.
It is entirely an individual matter. a
