about the war or some phase of the war,
but there are other war books that many
of US would regard as at least as impOr-
tant and quite as entertaining as any of
these And the non-fction book that
heads the current list for the whole eoun-
try, that is first in three sections and sec
Ond in the other two, the Adams auto
biography, has no relation to the war at
all. If l were statistically minded l
might argue from the coincidence l have
just cited that readers of nOn-fetion
books are also fond of "good Stories"
that they listen to the REALTORS narrative
of his own adventures as eagerly as Des-
demOna listened when Othello "spake Of
most disastrous chances"
"Raymond's" Long Run.
The most interesting newcomer in the
current list of Books 80 Demand, which
is the report of January circulations, is
a book which stands fourth in popularity
in the West and sixth in the South Cen
trail States, Sir Oliver Lodges Raymond.
Raymosd was reported from other see
tons, too; it was close seventh In New
England. It has appeared, seatteringly,
in the reports from different sections
since November. And running very close
to Raymond in the reports is Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's NewiRerelasion. The OBJ
vious comment on this widespread dis
play of interest in Spiritualism, psychic
phenomena or whatever term by which
one wishes to describe the common theme
Of these two books, is that the deaths
of so many hundreds Of thousands of the
worlds bravest and best has its natural
reaction in the human craving for evil
denees and convincing proofs of immor-
tally. Coupled with the demand, not
large enough to bring any of these other
volumes into the lists Of the first six
but still widespread and persistent, for
such books as These Dead Hare Meier
Died and Psychic Phenomena of the Var,
the popularity of Raymond and The Neu
ReUelation seems to indicate that the mys-
tieism which our European comrades-in-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-04-13

arms have commented upon as the most
striking phase of American national
character as revealed by our men in khaki
is striking new roots, or at least sending
out new branches from the old root.
AS l have been at pains to state, am
not prophet; l hazard Yankee guess,
however, that Raymond and The Mem
RereldtiOH will be found in more prom
nent positions in the lists of books IN
demand in the months to come
"Self-Help" Books.
There is another class of books, not
vet in evidence in any lists of the First
Six, but so widespread in their popular
ity as class and 50 significant, it seems
to me, of another current phase of Ameri-
can character that / wish to run up
signal flag TO warn those who would make
deductions from the published tabular
statements that there is a great reading
public that is not represented at all in
these lists, but which is representative
of distinct and notieeably growing
tendency. This is the class of readers
of "self-help" books, of which the num-
Der is constantly increasing. 1t may be
merely another manifestation of another
phase of the social and spiritual unress
growing out Of the war and its upheav-
ais; certain it is that the disciples Of the
late Samuel Smiles were never so active
nor SO sure of an audience Titles like
Hoar to Build Mental Power, Po.rer of
the WI, Hou to Get What You vast.
Your Forces and How to Use Them,
Analy,ing Character, and HAMS Supreme
Inheritance are passing across library
charging desks in a swelling food.
Sooner or later these, or some of them,
will surely creep into the lists of the First
Six.
They won't stay long, however. So
long as men and women keep on writing
good Stories" whether in the form Of
fiction or as variations of actual events,
the public libraries will find these domi-
mating their monthly reports of books in
demand.

In order to expediate the work

NO SUCH THING AS
PERSONAL FREEDOM
Canadian Points Out Restric-
tons on Every Hand

Commenting upon the fact that
so many of the states have endors-
ed the amendment authorizing the
prohibition Of intoxica ating liquors
Canadian paper, the Casket,
makes some interesting observa-
tions with regard to the ..restric-
tion of personal freedom" the fet-
ish of the vets. The author says:
"The fact is that personal free
dom is restricted in many ways,
in modern public society; and, for
the greatest good to the greatest
number, those Of us who count
ourselves good patriots give up
that freedom without protest. In
our daily life, our natural rights
are interfered with by one law or
another on every hand.

and speed laws; and we must not
ride a bicycle on a sidewalk, nor
drive on the wrong side of a
street; we must even so use our
own homes as not unduly to annoy
our neighbors. We must not shoot
game at certain seasons; we must
shovel the snow off our sidewalk
before our doors; we must do
every day, a dozen things we don't
want to do, and which cut dowr
our personal liberty.
"Many of these things seem tc
us, at times, an unnecessary an
noyance and useless expense. We
must even paint our fences-in {

France Celebrates Bastile
Day, July ID

On Monday, France celebrated
her independence Day more tri-
umphantly and more solemnly
than ever before. The remnant of
the army of the republic with fut-
tering battle-scarred flags march
ed down the avenues of free
Paris in grand review with the
light of a holy exaltation on their
faces, celebrating the first national
holiday since the deliverance of
France from a foreign foe.
Like the American Fourth of
July this anniversary keeps alive
the memories of the past and in
stills aspirations for the future.
In both these great republics the
great national holiday commemor-
ates the achievement of human
liberty and the overthrow of op-
preston.
To the French the Bastile will
always remain term of opprobium
to designate the relentless cruelty
of ARBITRARY power. 1t stands in
E world history as a symbol of au-
tocratic oppression and in French
history as a hideous memory.
Originally fort for protection
against foes, it became prison
:. for the torture of the weak in the
: hands of the revengeful and the
= autocratic. It's walls have resound
+ ed with the cries of helpless vic
: TINS and it's floors have beer
, soaked with blood. Through more
than three centuries from the
9 reign of Charles V in the fourteen
a tn to the last quarter of the eigh
:, teenth under Louis XVI the Bastilt
!, was a silent witness Of the strug
giles of the liberty-loving French
people against the monstrous idei
of the divine right OF kings" ant
of their struggles toward freedom
through rivers of blood. 1t was thu
= living tomb of countless enemie
o of royalty and of men and womel
q of virtue and lofty aspirations
g During the reign of Louis Ky
j, alone, more than 10000 letters d.

e deming unfortunates to imprison
ment in the Bastile which in mos
! cases meant horrible death.
~ In 1889 popular anger burs
