BENSON WILL TOUR
WORLD NEXT YEAR
STATE COMMISSIONER TO STUDY
AGRICULTURAL METHODS OF
OTHER COUNTRIES.

+. F. Benson, state commissioner
OF agriculture, is preparing to leave
Washington for trip around the
world the longest way, beginning at
Vancouver, B. c., between January
Is and 20. Mr.. Benson will retain
his title as state commissioner for the
trip, but will pay his own expenses
and his place will be filled by dep
uty commissioner, who will draw the
salary and do the state work.
In the event that Mr.. Benson does
not care to resume Office at the con-
cluson of his voyage, which will
cover the greater part of the coming
year, the deputy will be the man most
likely to succeed him. This appoint
ment has not yet been decided. The
state commissioner will be accOmpa-
MED by his wife and probably several
friends
The trip has Governor Louis F.
Harris approval and every official as
sistance possible will be given to the
Washington commissioner in his
quest for whatever of benefit the rest
of the world has to offer this state.
Particular attention will be given
by the state commissioner to meth.
DDS of agriculture in the various
countries he visits. together with
their marketing methods and condi-
tons, land settlement and improve
ment development, irrigation, crop
production, livestock raising and civic
regulations of a progressive nature,
particularly in New Zealand and Aus
tralia.

will return down the river by boat to
Alexandria from which city the party
will cross over to Athens and Con-

1t is Mr.. Benson's desire to pene-
trate a few hundred miles into the
Russian wheat country if that is pos
sble crossing the Black Sea to Odes-
sa and, if conditions in South Europe
by that time permit. to travel up the
Danube through Rumania and Bulga-
ria, coming back down to the sea by
way of Trieste

will be an object Of particular inter-
est to the Washington commissioner.
He will include Rome and Naples and
swing up through Switzerland and
France to Belgium, crossing over to
England and thence home across the
Atlantic. In addition to making a
study of all methods of agricultural
and livestock development that come
under his observation, it is Mr.. Ben
sons intention to give his discoveries
and conclusions more immediate
value to the state through contribu-
tons to the monthly news letter
issued by his department.

4 Theory Of Perfection

The spiritual development OF her
readers may be said to be the main OBJ
ject of Katharine Frances Pedrick in
writing "How to Make Perfection Ap-
pear" which is the fruit of fifteen
years of strenuous study. Perfection,
from her point of view seems to be the
realization of God and His manifesto
tion to us. This will come to readers of
an open, disinterested mind, and to gain
this she begs them to give half hour
daily to the training of this thought.
There is much in her points of view that
resemble those of the Christian Sci
enlist, as, for instance, "evil is an il
lusion," and if we deny its reality 1--WE
break its seeming power and open the
doors into fearlessness and peace.
There are also statements hard to un
der stand, as "God cannot be Himself
without me" and that spiritual con
sciousness is Goods verb" To en-
phasize her aim she quotes from the
works of several writer's, mostly from
Kant and his opponents, but it Is main e
ly due to what she constantly uses, the
teachings of Jesus.

INQUIRY INTO THE LIFE AFTER DEATH
LITERARY FOIBLES
MdcGregor Jenkins Exposes a
Multitude Of Them in a
Racy Essay

MacGregor Jenkins, the publisher OF
the Atlantic Monthly, deserves the
gratitude of all lovers of good books
because of the sanity which he has COM
pressed into his little essay on "Ditera-
ture with a Large H." His point
Of view is set forth In the first few
pages in which he says that 1t has re-
inained for the recent years to add the
last and crowning insult to the many
heaped on literature from the earliest
times. 1t was when some brilliant
idiot, says Mr.. Jenkins, conceived the
brilliant idea of spelling literature with
large l.. The idiot could. with as
much reason and equal justice, have
decided that salt pork for all time should
be spelled with large s and large
p. The results, according to the author,
were momentous and far reaching, for
a cult was at once brought into being
That which in some ways is the most
useful and benefcent thing in life was
taken away from life and made remote
and mysterious. 1t became an end in
stead Of means.
Mr.. jenkins continues his sarcastic
comments by remarking that If some
one should begin to spell pastry with
a large 2 there would at once arise
discussions on the relation of pastry to
human lie, With solemn ueDule bS W
the relative merits of tin and paper
plates, and there would be upper crust
aud under crust schools and so on ad
infinitum. And he follows this protest
with sane and eliminating discussion
of what literature really is and of the
charm of good books for every person
who has not been frightened away from
them by being forced to read or by
being told that such and such a book
would be good for him, instead Of being
told that it would interest him. Mr..
| Jenkins's book will interest every
one who reads it, even those who spell
| literature with q large L, for they will
grow red with indignation at his
pungent jibes. The rest of us will
chuckle with delight at its wisdom sci
forth in a genial, wholesome manner.

Massachusetts Trees

The pride of New England in every
thing that il has is so delightfully."- dis
ingenious aud genuine that it does not
offend the rest of the country. In
deed we outside of New England like
to read books about colonial doorways
about early wrought iron of New Eng
land about the revolutionary heroes
who won fame at Concord, Lexington
and Bunker Hill, about the mountain
scenery and the sea coast resorts and
all that sort of thing. Because New
England men have been so deeply in
tereSted in their own section of the
country and have written so much about
preston that more wonderful things
happened there than anywhere else.
Doubtless the New Englanders who
look over the latest book on tho charms
of the section called "The Historic
Trees of Massachusetts, will be con
vinccd there and nowhere else are there
such magnificent elms and oaks and
willows and naples and apples as
where they live. The book is a per
feet one of its kind. There are chap
ters about well known trees in vari
Gus parts Of the state, telling Their
age and history SO far as it is known

tain map of the state with the loca
ton of each tree described indicated, or

BASIL KING AND CONAN DOYLE
DON'T AGREE ON SPIRTTUALLSN
The Engshmdn accepts II, While the American Suspend
Judgment-The Rep. Dr. McConb on the
Problem Of Immortality

has happened and admits that he has
no explanation to offer. If he were Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle he would insist
that he had been receiving yeritable
messages from the dead.
+. r. Benson in his most suggestive
novel, Across the Stream wrote a
story about n boy who got messages
from his dead brother. When the boy
was grown to be a man, the messages
continued to come. but they came from
an evil spirit purporting to be his bro
ther, and there was tragedy until love
exercised Che evil spirit. Mr.. Benson
has returned to the theme of the mys.
terry of life and death in up and
Down" a book which purports TO tell
of the friendship between the author
and Il man known as Francis. 1t is a
sort of a mystical allegory with its
scenes laid in the island of Capri and in
London. The Italian scenes constitute
Il beautiful idyl, breathing the charm
of the southern sky and the simple life
of the natives. The thread that holds
the whole thing together is a discus
sion of the oneness of man with all
nature. 1t begins when the two men
are loafing on the beach after bathing
in the Caprian sea. 1t is continued on
mountain top where they have gone
to become fascinated with the immensity
of space and it is concluded when at
last Francis dies of a cancer after serv-
ing in the war, when we are
told that death instead of clos
ing in on him is opening out
for him. The men have arranged
that the first to die should communi-
cate with the other and tell him what
he had put in box locked in drawer
! to be opened only when one or the other
| died. The book closes with the revela :
tion by Il medium to the survivor of the
contents of the box. When the box
was opened the message was found tN
be correct. AS the book is fiction we
are left in doubt as to Mr.. Benson S
personal views; but Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle reports in his book that Mr.. Ben :
son explains most messages as tele
pathic reading of what was in the mind
of the inquirer.

NeiU England Portraits

Every biography ought to contain one
or more chapters which would do for
its subject what Gamaliel Bradford has
done for eight women in his Portraits
of American Women" Mr.. Bradford
has tried to make the woman live again
in the imagination of the reader so that
he may see her again as a breathing
figure moving about in her environment.
That is, he has painted portraits with
words instead of with brush and pig
ments. His medium enables him to
indicate changes of mood and modifica-
tions Of points of view and to that e1-
tent is more satisfactory than the
medium of the painter.
The women Mr.. Bradford has chosen
to write about are Abigail Adams,
Sarah Alden Ripley, Mary Lyon, Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, Margaret Fuller
Ossoli, Louisa May Alcott, Frances
Willard and Emily Dickinson, a curl
Gus selection made, as the author naive
| ly confesses in his preface, because the
sources of information were easily ac-
cessible to him. They are all New Eng
| land women save Miss Willard. Miss
Alcott, although she was born in Ger
mantown, lived in New England from
her early youth and it will surprise mos
of her admirers to discover that she is

portraits of some women of greater
claim to distinction than Mrs. Ripley
and Margaret Fuller. And so much ha

of Emma Willard, who preceded her b!
more than twenty years, is obscured
Both Emma Willard and Mary Lyol
were New Englanders, but Emma vii

of the boundary and set up her school
SO she was outside of the range of in

be permitted to choose his own subject
and must be judged by what he has don
with them. AS already indicated Mr.
Bradford has made his eight women liv
again on his pages. This is an achieve
ment of distinction and should be &C
claimed as such.

Orthodox church people will be more
likely to read what the Rev. DR.. Samuel
McComb has to say about 1.-THE Future
Life in the Light of Modern Inquiry"
with more respect than they will pay to
the opinions of those not directly con
nected with the church. Doctor Nc
Comb was associated with DIR. Worces =
ter in the Boston Emmanuel movement.
After asserting that the resurrection of
Jesus is the central fact of Christianity
and the thing which attracted converts
to it by promising to them life after
death, he reviews the Biblical stories of
the event and affirms that the account
of Paul contains the best summary OF
the evidence. and then says: "We infer
then, that Paul would have us know
that Jesus rose out of the world OF
spirits in a new and spiritual embodi
ment." If this means anything il
means that Doctor McComb is inclined
to agree with Doyle that the explana :
tion of the resurrection is that given by
the spiritualists and that the appear
ance of Jesus after his death was O
naturalization of kind similar to that
which is said to occur at the seances OF
Undertaking. mediums. Doctor Nc
Combs book is notable i'll that it is d
serious examination by a clergyman
committed to the Christian doctrine OF
immortality of the evidence offered by
the spiritualists that the soul does liv,
