Reincdrnattor

In the days of war men wondered
whether there was a God and whether
men were better than brutes. There
were some skeptics who denied both.
Michael Wood has written a novel in
which he sets forth the proposition that
there is a God who controls the affairs
of men and that He manifests Himself
sometimes in unusual ways. 1t is the
story of youth who, as a boy, was so
impressed with what he had seen on q
White Island that he could not interest
himself in anything else. AS he grew
up his father regarded him as half
witted, but he is finally sent to clergy
man who perceives that he has an un =
usual spiritual insight, and lives in con
stant communion with the higher things.
consideration of which so absorb his
attention that he can give heed to little
else. He is a sort of reincarnation of
st. Michael, and the story ends with
the youths skeptical father seeing him
surrounded by a company Of angels in
celestial light as he lays himself down
to rest in ruined chapel. 1t is a
story which will appeal to all religious
people.

growth and necessity of federal power
in the American system Of peculiar in
terest. Mr.. West declares in his pref
ace that the doctrine of states rights
had vanished long before war was de-

doctrine of paramount necessity had
taken it's place. He reviews the de-

than which there was no more vi gorous
exponent than Roosevelt. He is con-

to preserve the democratic character

who is introduced as a ragamuffin in

a little daughter named Nancy; how
the boy saves a rich woman from in =

last he discovers which of the three

There is a suggestion of Dickens in
the book, Dickens of the twentieth
century. who had learned to compress
his narrative and go directly to the
point at which he was aiming. 1t has
all the qualities which make a book
popular and ought to be in demand for
months to come.

NEW FTCTYON-BOOKS ON SPECIAL QUESTIONS
GREEN CABLING
WITH ANNE
Miss Montgomery Has Written
Another Chapter in the Life
of Her Famous Heroine

No one could have written "Anne
of Green Gables" or "Anne's House of
Dreams" or any other of the Anne"
series which bear the name of l.. NJ.
Montgomery on their title page without
having lived in small country hamlet
and without being in sympathy with the
life and the people there. The same
can be said of Rainbow Valley"
which is the latest tale dealing with
Anne and the people of Prince Edward
Island. Miss Montgomery, as she pre-
fers to be known to the outside public,
was born in Prince Edward Island.
She was educated at the public schools
there and at the local college. She
taught school for three years, then en-
gagged in newspaper work and wrote
short stories and novels and finally
married the Rev. Evan Macdonald, now
the pastor of the Presbyterian churches
in Leakdale and Zephyr, Ontario, two
small villages about fifteen miles south
of Lake Simcoe.
Her new tale, Rainbow Valley"
deals with the adventures of the four
children of Anne of Green Gables, mar
ried, as every one knows. to Gerald
Blythe, and with the pranks of the
motherless children of the pastor of
the Presbyterian church in the vii
lage. Rainbow valley is a playground
for the children and the meeting place
for lovers. The children of the minis
ter are natural, prankish youngsters,
always getting into mischief. The pco-
pie in the village think he ought to
marry again in order to have some
one to bring up the children. What
plot the story has revoves around this
second marriage. The bride to be is a
young woman with a dead lover, lost at
sea. She and the minister meet acci-
dentally in the valley and discover that
they have many tastes in common. But
the romance comes to sudden end.
How it is renewed and everything ends
happily is explained with plausibility.
The book is wholesome and entertaining
to all who do not want highly spiced
fiction and are content with the simple
joys and sorrows of everyday folk in the
country. Those who were charmed
with Anne in the first place will be
anxious to know more about her and
the book will satisfy them.

An AMERICAN
LABOR POLICY
Mr.. Cohen Proposes That Or
ganized Employers Shall Deal
With Organized Employees

Whether one accepts the remedy for
labor troubles proposed by Julius Henry
Cohen in IAN American Labor Policy
his suggestions are worthy of considcra4
ton. Mr.. Cohen is lawyer, Who
served as counsel for the employers ip
carrying forward the institutions es-
tabished by the protocol in the garment
industry in New York. He was also
special counsel for the New, York
city service commission during the
street car strike in 1916. He has.
therefore, had considerable experiences
in dealing with labor troubles.
He discusses the existing conditions
with their many evils and concludes
that the remedy is to be found by agree
ments voluntarily entered into between
organizations Of employers and organi
cations of workpeople. which shall be
validated and enforceable by law. He
would have machinery set up by which
either party could secure redress OF
grievances. Under this plan, he says
that union labor instead of represent
ing a small percentage Of the labor
Of the country, would include the
earning percentage of the whole, and
the employers would have some guar
antee that the provisions of collective
agreements would be enforced and that
in the recognition of the unions they
would secure the surest guarantee of the
observance of standards throughout
their industries" This plan, according
to him, would insure the workingmen
against unwarranted discharge and
would insure the employers against
strikes without justification. Mr.. Cohen
admits that this plan could not be
adopted without revision of our legal
conceptions Of the freedom of contract.
but he thinks that the experiment is
worth making.

EARL GREY
Harold Begbie's Tribute to ar,
English Statesman

Harold Begbie's last word on AL
bert, fourth Earl Grey, is a tribute to
one who, Lord Bryce says, Twas an
almost unique figure in our public life.
He never made an enemy or lost a
friend 1t Is written in response to n
request made by Earl Grey on his
deathbed to Harold Begbie. "to help
me in putting forward presentation of
the political views with which started
life over thirty years ago." 1t is GER
tainly remarkable that the life aim of
one who was born in a palace and was
the playfellow of princes, should be TO
further the welfare of the working
classes, and to secure the CO. operation
which should draw the whole community
together, as one brotherhood.
In the sketch of his personality. with
which Mr.. Begbie's book begins, we
learn that an interest in public affairs
was possibly awakened by the fact that
when at Trinity College, Cambridge, he
was one of group, leach member of
which pledged himself to take life
long interest in the moral and political
welfare of some particular portion OF
the British empire" his being East
Africa. In his early manhood he was
member of Parliament for six years.
After visiting nearly every part of the
empire, he ended his public career in
Canada. 1t is said that mo governor
general was ever more widely loved in
Canada than this very gallant clean
minded gentleman" During his term
of office he visited our country, and.
never neglected any opportunity to
deepers and domesticate the good feel
ing between England and the United
States"
1t is book which should be read
by every participant in the conduct of
political affairs, for it would be an
inspiration and incentive to him to
strive for the true realization of the
brotherhood of mankind.

Navy Experiences

Joseph Husband, who few years ago
wrote an interesting record of personal
experience, "A Year in Coal Mine, 1"
has followed it with a similar chronicle,
"a Year in the Navy" which will
doubtless be more interesting to more
people than the previous book, since so
many of our young men were members
of Uncle Sans fighting sea forces during
the war. Mr.. Husband, whose writing
is simple and clear, and who has a no
table gift for observation, went through
the navy training and overseas service
from civilian to commissioned officer.
He tells of his experience ms a seaman
in training at Great Lakes, his overseas
service, etc. treating them as typical
of the experiences of numbers of other
young Americans.
