necessary to defeat the veto. That
MI. Wilson feared the likelihood OF
such an outcome is shown by the
fact that he delayed his veto message
on the second passage of the daylight
savings repeal until the last minute
when it would have been effective. 1t
was transmitted to the house on
Friday august 15) and if delayed a
day longer the bill would automatic
ally have become law.
President Wilson'S reasoning in his
veto message is hard to follow. He
says he fully realizes s'the very con-
siderable and in some respects very
serious inconvenience to which the
daylight saving law subjects the
farmers of the country, to whom we
owe the greatest consideration. At
the same time," the message con-
tlnues, "tle immediate and pressing
need of the country is production. y
This, he feels, is stimulated by hav-
ing work start an hour earlier and
stop an hour earlier than by sun
time.
First the house and then the SEN
ate passed the bill over Wilson's We.
to land the repeal is now an accom-
plished fact.

Interested Reader Gives Version of
Attempt to Ridicule the Farmers
Paper By T. w. Greer, One Time
Loyalty League Candidate.

Did you ever see a boy cry when
he was hurt?
Did you ever see a man "holler'
when he was hit in the pocket book :?
Did you ever see Loyalty League
member that didn't try to take a
slam at the Producers News when
yer given an opportunity.
If you will answer these questions
in an honest manner, you can very
readily see why Loyalty League
Greer should get up and make a
slurring remark about the Producers
News, while lauding the upbuilding,
helpful, get-together spirit of the
other three papers in Plentywcod. 1t
really is positively funny to one &C
quainted with the situation and know
ing Mr.. Greer's delight in being able
to present himself before an audience
(which we understand is one of his
natural failings.) Now who are the
boosters of the Chautauqua Who
guarantees this Chautauqua Who
pays the bills of this Chautauqua if
there is deficit? Is it the newspa-
pers alone? Have the hotels con-
tributed any rooms free of charge to
the guests? Have the merchants
given of their stock of goods and
groceries free of charge to the Chau-
tauqua guests? No, of course not. II
would be utter folly to think of such
thing. Then if that is the case
why do the community boosters CD

Who Are The Boosters?

vegetables, ETC., in the the grocery
store. That is what a newspaper
thrives on. 1t is it's bread and butter.
But apparently our boosters {? do
not want to take an equal share of
the expense of the Chautauqua with
newspapers. They say: "Let George
do it, but don't forget to give US the
name of being the promoters and
boosters" Has any one concern or in
dividual placed $500 or its equivalent
to help put this Chautauqua over. Of
course not. Then why expect
newspaper to do it? In the writer's
opinion these men acting on the COM
mittee have acted as selfish as human
nature very sldom allows men to act

Germs, mainly that: eve signed up to

comes, they say, you stand it. We

one or four). Now in applauding the

offering, l will say that as news

Stories by Pinski

TN Temptations David Pinski is re-
Il vealed to readers of English as a
writer of stories and tales. His plays
or at any rate his most significant plays
translated by DIR. Isaac Goldberg and
DR.. Ludwig Iewisohn, have been accessi-
bic in excellent versions for seine time.
Temptations consists of stories woven
on the one hand from the Talmudic and
Biblical legends, and on the other from
modern life. The most striking of the
first group is Beruriah, which the trans
lator, DR.. Goldberg, considers Zone Of the
greatest short stories ever written" 1t is
concerned with the testing of the virtue of
a rabbits wife, who was ''blessed with all
the virtues" Beruriah withstands the
temptations and comes forth from the or
deal unscathed, but as she learns that not
only her husbands students but the good
rabbi himself dared doubt her she kills
herself. The story is moving work Of
art, but there is something almost gro
tesque in the hypothesis upon which it is
founded; this it is that prevents our al
together agreeing with. DR.. Goldberg's su-
perlative praise. ''-," - -7~..

Temptations once more proves that
David Pinski is the great interpreter of
Jewish life. DE-. Goldberg has performed
invaluable services by his numerous trans
lations from Yiddish and Spanish Etera-
lures. His many volumes, most Of them
accompanied with Illuminating predatory
material, have opened hitherto unknown
fields. His very earliest work was not
altogether free from a certain literal stiff
ness of phraseology; but he has steadily
improved. Temptations, with the excep-l
ton of two unimportant phrases, reads
like an original that few writers would
not be proud to sign.

Sun and GustO Pierce British Fog

HERE is nothing stranger to
l. watch than the way that liter
AZURE suits itself to the spirit Of the
day. When we are depressed here in
London, when there is fog abroad and
no coal and general pessimism about
the war, the publishers seem to pro-
duce nothing but anamic little books
of eccentric poetry and long waiting
prophecies by D. Dillon. Then as soon
as the sun comes out every one rlshes
to --, the Royal Academy opens
its doors to all the country cousins,
young women go flying at Hendon for
a guinea an hour, Miss Asauith be-
comes a Princess at st. Margaret'A
Westminster, and Gusto leaps into
literature.
Gusto had, it seemed, entirely de-
serted us until the publication of
Christopher and Columbus a month
or two ago, but now, suddenly, all
within the last fortnight, three i'm
portant books bursting with it have
appeared for our delight. By Gusto
/ don t Of course mean simply heady
enthusiasm such as animates; for in
stance, Mr.. Eustace Miles when he
writes about Vegetarianism, or Mr.. G.
B. Cochran when he advertises the
beauties of Delysia. mean that en-
thusiasm that makes an artist exult
over his work to the point of caring
nothing for the consequences; nor by
this do / mean that he is swollen by
conceit in the execution of it-rather
is he (under these conditions) the
most modest of men, because he loses
absolutely all sense of himself, his re-
wards, his popularity, his shames, in
his absorption in the thing created.
Now / do not intend for moment
to suggest that Mr.. Somerset Maui
CHAM, Sir Harry Johnston and Pro-
fessor Saintsberry, the authors of the
three works in question, are geniuses.
Genius is a spirit that bloweth where
it listeth and may desert the house
where it lodges at a moments notice.

Ends Well and Milton Paradise Re
gained-but, however that may be,
the three gentlemen have named
have published books that are de-
lightful to read and that give one the
confidence that after all there may be
something like inspiration still at the
back of our literature and that au-
thors are not solely occupied in count
inc up their balances at the bank and
grudging the. morning $ work that
lies in front of them.
Mr.. Maugham's Tie Noon and
Sirpence would not, at first glance,
seem a fair subject for Gusto. His
book is realistic and sardonic study
in the temperament of painter who
was first a stock broker and after
wards a genius whose body was cor

ruption but his soul all light and fire.
Mr.. Vaughan, as his nature is, takes
care not to emphasize the light and
fire. He has always, since the early
days Of Lao of LGmbeth held that
life is a gloomy and ironic affair and
would be worth no ones study were
it not for certain fine obstinate spirits
and the So ,ctacle of their uphill bat
tie. In the present instance he al
lows his genius, Strickland, a final
victory-leaves him indeed in fine
glowing squalor of leprosy, painting
and the South Sea Islands.
It would perhaps be too much to
say that he finally convinces us of
Strickland. He paints too resolutely
from the outside, setting up his figure
and then adding to it touches Of color
and beauty, forcing us to acknowl-
edge, at the last, that he is good
craftsman and an excellent artist. 1t
is rather in some of his accidental dis
coveries, as for instance the little
painter and his wife in Paris, that we
feel that he has stumbled upon char
acters who were there waiting for him
before he came along.
Our final impression, however, is
not of Strickland and his genius, but
rather of Mr.. Vaughan, his happiness
in his work and his consideration of
nothing whatever except that work.
1t is fine thing when, after twenty
years labor, an author has still the
spontaneity and luxury of his pride
and pleasure in his art. The Noon
and Sirpence would have been writ
ten, we feel, even though it were SEN
fenced to be burnt in its authors sit
ting room fire the day after compile
ton.
Sir Harry Johnston's The Gay
Dombeys offers us another kind Of
Gusto. This is Sir Harry's first novel
and he is, according to Who's Who,
81 years of age. He is also, as every
one knows, an explorer Of world
wide fame and q writer of many
books of exploration and travel.
We do not feel on finishing The
=.
Gay Dontbeys as we felt at the end Of
Joseph Vance, that a new novelist is
suddenly discovered to us. The Gag
Dombeys is indeed scarcely a novel
at all. 1t is none the worse for that,
and it does not need H. G. Wells in
rather pompous preface why
must every new book nowadays have
a preface by H. G. WELSH to as
sure us that a novel is a novel just
whenever its author chooses to call it
so. The Coy Don,beys is not a novel
because it deliberately acknowledges
itself an autobiography, and goes in
scarcely at all for the creation of in
cident and only in two cases for the
creation Of character.
But this matters nothing. The fact
is that Sir Harry has discovered a
new way to give us a picture, more or
less accurate, of the world that, dur
ing his long and successful life, he has
known. He assumes the disguise, at
the beginning, of pretending to con-
tinue the affairs of Dickens S Dombey
family. He maintains this, more or
less, until the end, but he does, hap
PLY, very little with it. Dickens was
Dickens, and the genius of creation
that animated him was his alone.
