Roosevelt He has been serving Clarke
county as attorney in recent years. He
is good speaker but seldom talks un-
less he has something to say. In the
Goth general assembly legal point
was involved in the drafting of a bill
that should determine where the crime
was committed if man standing on
the Iowa side of the Sioux river were
to shoot a cow standing on the South
Dakota side. After listening to the de-
bate for couple of hours Mr.. Temple
took the floor and untangled the diff

numerous court decisions covering
such cases. ] 3iI
Served First in the Senate
Hon. George E. Allyn, of Ringgold
county, began his legislative expert
ence in the senate, serving two terms,
beginning with the 26th and closing
with the 29th. He now comes to the
house of representatives in his 70th
year. He is retired banker and
farmer, was born in Illinois and has
lived in Iowa for So years.
Several Promotions
Several men who served in the mouse
of the 37th general assembly have
been promoted to the senate, notably
M. B. Pitt, speaker during the trou-
bilious time two years ago. He then
represented Harrison county. Now he
comes to the senate representing the
district composed of Crawford, Harri-
son and Monona Meredith represent
ed Jasper in the house two years ago
and succeeded in getting bill through
that body repeating the present meth
cd of choosing county school superln-
tendents and placing the matter in the
hands of the voters at the general
election as of old. The senate failed
to. pass the measure. Mr.. Meredith
now comes to the senate and will
again bring up the matter. w. w. An
derson for three years representative
from Greene county, comes to the SEN
ate from the district composed OF
Greene, Carroll and Sac. Horchem, OF
Dubuque, a school principal, after
serving two terms in the house now
comes to the senate. He is one of the
five democrats in that body. Kimberly
of Scott, after serving two terms in
the house, is promoted to the senate.
He was rated as the wealthiest man in
the house two years ago but now in
the senate Haskell of Linn is reputed
to be the wealthiest. VOORHEES,, of the
CassIShelby district two years ago,
now deceased, was the wealthiest man
in the senate at that time, having
made a half million dollars in an oil
speculation in Oklahoma.

Letters From Beyond
Containing Interesting Views of
the Other World

CLArDEs BOOK. By Mrs. Kclway- Bambcr.
$40 D. Appleton & Co
Claude has written a very beautiful
book. he has pictured to us a life in
a world after death which ccipses the
imagination because it never for one
moment strains our human conception
of divine justice. The chief difference
IN the world he reveals to us and our
own is the fragrant purity of that 9TH
er plane which results from penetrat
ing past our delusions and the sham
OF earthly passions. Indeed, there is
nothing in his work to show why we
cannot, if we wish, establish similar
existence here. Skepticism seems, to
us, useless attitude to take toward
Claude's work. He has given us no
arbitrary dogmas, but rather has drawn
tor US an ideal toward which to strive.
NO one need glance a second time at
his simple and charming picture, nor
IN any way treasure it in the memory.
1T can be- cast aside as we would re-
fuse an invitation to the opera There
are many of US who do not care for
music.
Claude's mother, to prove to us that
it is really Claude who speaks, has
preluded his book with few tests to
establish, for the incrcduous, his
identity She finishes with copies Of
some of his letters which undoubtedly
expose the same personality as the
later communications from beyond the
great divide. Sir Oliver Lodge. the
great English spiritualist, has written
letter about this volume which is
published as a preface. In it he de-
clares that he accepts only that part
of Claude's testimony which satisfies
him because of it's, to him, incontro-

will be read with deep interest by
every one interested, we almost had
said, in animal stories." But it's
chief value, and that which will attract
the deepest interest, is its philosoph-
ical import. If vertebrates, and to
some extent mammals, are Symmetry
machines" may this not be true Of
the human animal as we'll? 1t is clear
that Professor Loeb holds this view.
1t is conception which will excite
the violent antagonism of all those
who love to denounce each new step
Of discovery, especially in human
affairs, as destructive to the truth"
and beauty" Of life. But there may
be q larger truth" and beauty" that
rests not upon fantasy or childish wish
thoughts, and yet larger wonder"

and explore itself. A half century

order, beating out new paths of human
knowledge. c. S.

Cohden

MAN. By J. A. Hosson. Illustrated Syo. pp.
ai8. Henry Holt s Company.
We mention the letters before the
hfe because they IRE the dominant
feature of the book. 1t is, indeed, not
q life of Golden in the ordinary sense.
There Is brief biography, chiefly con-
'cerned with certain phases of his ca
reer, and there is a great mass of his
letters TO Sumner and others. The
chief purport of it all is to disclose
Golden in the light not merely of a
free trader but still more in that of
an advocate of non-intervention and
peace among nations, to which end free
trade was merely means.
Golden carried his laissez-faire pol
Icy so far as to oppose not only mill
tary intervention by one country in the
affairs of another, but also the exercise
Of moral suasion. He disapproved
slavery, but he would not join an anti
slavery society because it would pro-
mote anti-slavery agitation in America
1t becomes matter of interested spec
ulation, then, whether he would now
approve the scheme Of a league of
nations. Such league as is now pro-
posed would certainly contemplate the
exercise of moral suason upon states
IN their domestic affairs, such as their
army and navy organizations, and that
could not meet with his approval.
Perusal Of this timely and authentic
volume will strongly tend toward a
more just estimate of Golden and his
work. 1t will vindicate him from the
aspersion of having been a narrow

National Consciences
Their Attitude Toward the
Issues of War and Peace

OUR COMMON CONSCIENCE By Sir George
Adam Smith Svo.. pp. 256. George Il Doran
This is a collection of the ten ad-
dresses made by Sir George Adam
Smith while touring the United States
in 1918, with an epilogue on America
at War;" written after he had had the
opportunity to study US at close range.
These addresses, timely and illumi-
mating as they we're when they were
made to US. have more permanent
value and are deserving Of lasting
place in our war literature, wherefore
this printed collection of them is heart
lily welcomed.
In recording the actual statistics of
"Britain's Part in the War" and "The
Universities and the War" Sir George
has done US an informing and histori-
cally valuable service, but the real
worth of his effort lies much deeper
than numerical records. Great Britain,
France and America each owe him
thanks for his beautiful verbal express
sion of the aims and ideals for which
the real, vital issues OF the situation in
July and August, 1914, and his perfect
appreciation of the instructive attitude
Of each nation, make him a splendid
commentator Of the triumphant strug-
gle of those who were SO shortly to
compose the group of our "Allies."
His most interesting attitude is that
of sincere humility. Most of US have
been so conscious of the high moral
effort of our war aims that we have
totally neglected the issue Of our fit
ness for adopting as our right such
glorious ideals. When we read, then,
that eve we're haunted by the sense of
our unpreparedness for great war
There was the deeper sense Of
our national sins; before such a crisis
people must feel their guilty weak
ness" we can thrill with the just pride
Of having been weighed in the balance
and still not found wanting. 1t is well
for us to go down in history not as
nations Of self-sufficient Sir Galahads,
but rather as peoples who felt that
"the sacredness of the cause committed
to us has tempted US to doubt our own
worthiness to be its instrument, and
the strength of that doubt is the
shadow of the truth and purity of the
ideals for which we fight"
Again, in the lecture peace, False
and True" Sir Georges clear sighted
insistence on the fact that Peace as d
Purity have been most firmly estab-
lished. "The foundation which is in
Christ Jesus is truth and justice, as
we'll as love; if on anything less than
all these we strive to build peace, we
are building on sand" Again he points
out the peace of unity which has come
to all nations who have entered this
war in defence Of right against might
in contrast to the disrupted condition
of all those nations before. All, high
or low, respond to the call of righteous
ness; and let our representatives at the
peace conference in Paris remember
the strength which came to their ma
tions when they fought for unselfsh-
ness, and that that thought alone guide
them in their settlement of all issues.
1t is not enough to have won our posi-
tion There remains the constant
struggle to prove our worthiness, to
maintain it. M. L.

Beyond the Veil

THEY WHO UNDERSTAND. By Lillian
Whiting. DIP. 200. Little. Brown & CO.
No writer upon spiritual topics has
a larger popular following than Miss
Whiting, and it is significant Of the
outlook of the time that she has been
wholly convinced by the evidence of
spiritualism. Her faith does not rest
of intercourse with the dead But she
finds in it stirring confirmation and
much illumination. Her present book,
dedicated to the memory of American
youth who have died in the war, is a
moving statement of all that historic
material of Christian faith touching
life after death, intelligently and care
fully interrelated with the testimony
of spiritualism. Whatever ones atti-
tude toward this latter evidence, the
inspiration to be drawn from the fact
of Miss Writings faith and her glow
ing statement of it is large:
"The young men of all the ma
tions who have thus triumphantly
and joyfully given their lives that
the nations may live are thus enter
culable in its power and glory.
With what marvellous beauty and
intensity Of energies do they find
themselves after the withdrawal
from the physical body, which has
served its purpose and is discarded.
Imagination falters before the vision
Of this resplendent life just be-
yond."
Miss Whiting suggests that the final
and greatest result of the war may
rest above and beyond all social re-
forms in the recognition by the world
of union with the spiritual powers of
those whom we call the dead. In some
form, whether Of personal survival or
rest; all will agree.

Experimental Biology
Interesting Investigations by DIR
jacques Loeb

FORCED MoyEMENTs: rRop1sM AND AM
fb % GoSDgcT s2s D1ss,s b. Leagues somosn3 sS Md
This is a pioneer work in a new and
fascinating field 1t is also the first of
a series on experimental biology and
general physiology by American inves-
tigators. For long time this was a
domain chiefly titled by German work
ers. In more recent years there has
grown up an American school, the
freshness and vitality Of whose work
has given it position at least on u
par with, if not in advance Of, Germany
itself.
The present volume few years ago
would have been regarded as a bold
and revolutionary book. 1t is an en-
deavor to show that large number Of
animal movements, and, in fact, the
whole OF conduct in lower animal life
as we'll as in plant life. are determined
by familiar physical forces-as the in
tiuence Of light, the force Of gravity,
chemism and the like. To these direc-
tive forces Professor Loeb many years
ago gave the title of "tropisms." 1t is
testimony to the rapidity and extent
with which Professor Loeb's brilliant
experimentation has taken root that
a large part of this volume should be
q. summary of more recent investiga-
The chief portion of the volume is
devoted to the influence of light, or
heliotropism. and its effect upon the
symmetrical relations of the animal
body, the reversal Of the direction Of
action due to feeding and the like.
There follow discussions of a long list
OF other tropisms-as chemotropism,
geotropism, rheotropism and stereo-
trocpism; finally, a discussion of in
stinct, and lastly of memory images.
Professor Loeb defines a tropism as the
whole of given set Of reactions of an
animal organism.
1T would be misconception to
speak of tropisms as refexes, since
segments. Refexes and tropisms
agree in one respect, inasmuch as
both are obviously Of physical or
chemical character"
For example, it has been shown that
II the tail of a normal shark be bent
TO one side (wit'lout changing the posi-
ton of the head), the eyes of the
animal move as promptly as a compass
needle, In association with the bent
tail, around the same axis in which
the bending occurs, but in an opposite
sense. This was observed not only in
the normal fish but also when it's optic
and orbital nerves were cut The CEN
tral nervous system then acts as one
unit. Many similar illustrations are
given. Such associations make it
possible to treat the organism as n
whole "as mere symmetry machine"
and this general view forms the foun-
dation of the tropism theory of animal
conduct.
Fascinating experiments with bees,
flies, worms, ants, fishes and even
pigeons, are detailed, building steadily
the view CT animal conduct and the
physical reaction which the author
seeks to establish. 1t is evident that
it is such carefully grounded work as
this that must form the foundation
of future physiological theory Of
human conduct, and it is this fact
which still gives to the book touch
Of the revolutionary, even though it is
now thirty years since Professor
Loeb's epoch making experiments in
this field were begun. Though it is
primarily scientific monograph, it
