Hergesheimer says about himself, and
that most engaging last paragraph In
Rupert Hughes's autobiography. Again,
the author quotes the opinions Of author
tiles, refraining from much comment Of
his own. In each instance, however, he
manages to give a short definite story Of
the man and his work and at the end Of
each chapter is list Of the authors books
handy reference.
Mr.. Gordon begins his book fttingly
enough with William Dean Howells, and
follows him with Booth Harrington, who
here stands revealed as having dropped
one of his names-to wit, his first, which
is Newton. It isn't surprising that he
dropped it-it's lot pleasanter to think
Of Booth Harrington than Of Newton B.
Harrington. That last is too reminiscent
of q certain member of the Administration
but there, even though am Republi-
can, this is not the place to speak Of poll
ties.
Trailing Mr.. Harrington comes William
Allen White, who is said to have q fond
ness for making salads-I hope Mrs.
White has an amiable cook who doesn't
mind members of the family messing
round the kitchen. Then come Ernest
Poole, Joseph Hergesheimer, Rupert
Hughes, Winston Churchill, Theodore
Dresser, Meredith Nicholson, Samuel Hop
kins Adams-described as "blond Of the
extremely clear-skinned type Nothing
is said of Mr.. Adams's favorite dressing
gown in which he Is habitually photo
graphed. 1t seems an unkind omission.
After the blond Mr. Adams, come HsEi-
lin Garland and Stewart Edward White,
and personally 1 am with Mr.. Gordon
when he tells of the avidity with which
he reads Mr.. Whites books Think about
The Bl0zed TraI and SimbG.
Next come Samuel Merwin, Allan Up
degraff, Rex Beach, with an unsupported
middle name as surprising as Mr.. Tark-
ington's forgotten first, Upton Sinclair,
Henry Blake Fuller. James Branch Ca

White,-and oh, lot Of others. wish
there might have been more about Henry
Kitchell Webster, who is much more i'm
portant than others to whom larger space
is devoted, but he was out Of the country
when Mr.. Gordon was writing this book,
and printing presses wait not Oh foreign
mail.
Robert Herrick's rather sniffv attitude
toward magazine fiction will make a good
many people grin, and Harry Leon VIII
sons description of his son and heir will
make good many more people grin, and
a great deal more pleasantly. Other peo-
pie, possibly even the sane ones, viii read
of George Barr McCutcheon's stage expe-
rience with a lot of sympathy for the
strange ambitions of youth.
Indeed, one of the pleasantest things
about this book is its bits of droA human
nature cropping out through the dates
and other faets-and some of it belongs to
the men he is writing about, and some of
it is Mr. Gordon's own. Let me record,
however, that the author does not press
his opinions upon you, but in his very
preface sounds his keynote Of modesty.
This, and his very clear and excellent
style, his brevity, and his occasional
levity, make Mr.. Gordon's book a great
deal more than a library Of reference
work.

Pershing's Return.

General Pershing came home
Monday to a tremendous New
York reception. He will have a
repetition of it in Washington.
One of the results probably
will be a revival of the move
ment which began after the arm
istice to interest him as a presi-
Dental candidate. The Repub-
licans are seeking candidate
and they might consider the
General if he was willing to lend
them the use of his name.
But nothing in what the Gen.
eral has said or done since the
war has justified any one in as
Stunning that he will do else than
turn a deaf ear to all importuni-
ties to have him enter politics,
for which obviously he has no
taste whatever.
He has just been made a full
General-an honor which has
come to only three or four men
in the history of the republic
by the practically unanimous
vote of both houses of Congress;
and there opens to him now a
life of ease and comfort for the
balance of his days, with the re-
spect of the whole country.
That he would now consent to
become a partisan in a political
campaign-to endanger his pop
ularity and involve himself in
vexatious responsibilities lis in
credible. The chances are that
ne will put aside the temptation.

The Presidents Swing Around the
Country.

The PRESIDENT owing ATOuHu the
Country.
President Wilson this week is
on his tour around the country
in behalf of the League of Peace
and will speak in thirty of the
principal cities. He will not come
south of Mason & Dixon's, line
as the "solid south" is for him
almost to a man, and his efforts
will be directed wholly to dissat-
isfied sections. And, judging
by the great and enthusiastic
crowds that greet him every
where. the great body of the
people are with the President in
all of his contentious.
We give the following extracts
of sentiment expressed in his
speeches:
| have no intolerant spirit in
the matter, but also assure that
from the bottom of my feet to
the top of my head | have got
fighting spirit about it.
And if anybody dares to de-
feat this great experiment, then
they must gather together the
councillors of the world and do
something better.
If there is better scheme, ]
for one will subscribe to it, but
| want to say now, as | said the
other night, negation will not
save the world. Opposition con-
structs nothing. Opposition is
the speciality of those Bolshevist-
ically inclined.
And while there is common alb
horrence to BolShevlSm, nope
there will not be any such thing
grow up in our country as inter-
national Bolshevism, the Bolshe-
vism that destroys the construc-
tive work of those who conscien-
Iiously strive to cement the good
feelings Of the great peoples of
the world.
Is itnot great vision, my fell
low citizen, this of the thought
full world combined for peace,
and this of all the great peoples
of the world combined to see
chat justice is done.

BENEFITS of the Road Propaganda.

Not the leastof the good roads
propaganda in Grant parish is
going to be the expenditure of
practically 5000, 600 among the
people, who this season are great
ly in need of financial help, ow-
ing to the almost complete fail
ure of the crops. This failure is
not so great in the hills of the
parish as it is among the people
of the river and creek bottoms,
where the incessant rains have
about ruined both cotton and
corn. A good portion of the
hills, to the contrary, have Jared
fairly well, while other portions
have suffered the general short
ness of crops caused by too much
rain.
In this prevalence of what
would otherwise constitute
public calamity, the disburse-
ment of 5000, 900 for the build
ing of the Jefferson Highway
and the lateral roads leading in
to it is bound to prove a great
boon to our people.
In voting the bonds to build
our roads, in both of the elec-
tons, it was specially stipulated
that all the lateral roads leading
into the Jefferson Highway were
to be built by home labor. Ex-
ception was made to the main
highway because it was to be
built under State supervision.
and it was thought the contrac-
tors would want to employ train
ed and skillful hands to do the
work in accordance with specifi-
cations. Since the contractors
have got to work. however, they
find they have to depend on local
labor very largely, on account of
the general demand for skiIlful
labor and its consequent scarcity. |
They find, however, that with
the training of two or three
weeks almost any average citizen
makes a pretty fair hand, and SO |
they are giving work to almost
any and all who apply. Work |
on the lateral roads is progress
ing in full swing now, and the |
consequence is that those of our
people who want work for them
selves or their teams can get
about. all they want, and at good !
living wages.

he was crying because he did not
