.NITCHEVO,

"Nitchevo" is a Russian word char
acterizing the type of person who lets
things alone. Such person is one
who is satisfied with everything and
anything. He isn't interested i'll the
improvement OF the order OF things
because his ambitions are not that far
reaching.
Russia today is synonym for dis
order and anarchy. The people are
changeable and easily influenced. They
have left things alone for so long that
they are not capable of deciding just
what sort of government and civiliza-
tion is best for them.
The "nitchevo" type of citizen, how
ever, is not confined to any set oi
boundaries. We find them sprinkled
among all nations. The '.nitchevo'
is he who assumes that Il don't care
spirit and is either too ignorant oI
lazy to work for society's betterment
The ''nitchevo" may not be an anar-
chist. a Bolshevist or rer0iutionist
but by his nature he is just as harm
full to society The "nitchevo" spirit
has proved the downfall of Russia
Let Us heed the example and prevent
the spread of such social disease as
the ''nitchevo."

THE yICE.PRESIDENT

1t has been considered to modify
the present practice and admit the
Vice-President to the meetings where
in the executive policies of the govern
ment are discussed The Vice-Presi-
dent has never been considered a
member of the Cabinet, however, and
his opinions do not have weight in
forming the executive policies of the
administration
The Constitution provides that the
Vice-President shall be president of
the Senate and that he shall have no
vote unless the Senate be equally di-
vijed. The executive power is vested
in the President alone and the exclu-
sion of the Vice-President from the
Cabinet seems to be due to the theory
that during the life of the President
the VicePresident's executive powers
are dormant and that he has no duties
as president of the Senate.
John Adams, in the session of April
25, 1889, expressed the peculiar situa-
ton of the Vice-President when he
said, Il am Vice-President Gentle
men, feel great difficulty how to act
l am possessed of two separate pow
ers, the one in esse and the other, in
posse. In this l am nothing, but l
may be everything
The presidential elections show the
regard in which the office is held by
the voters. The Chief Executive is the
man in question and there is no great
amount of enthusiasm over the selec-
ton of vice-President. He is a side
issue and is overshadowed by the
higher office.
Yet, in case the President dies. the
Vice-President will have all the power
in his hands and will inded have a
power ''in esse''
Remembering this, selection of the
Vice-President of the United States
should entail as much caution as that
of the Chief Executive himself.

ROADS, by Rose
IL Wilder Lane, is IN interesting first
novel. 1t is concerned with woman's place
in the economic scheme of to-day, with the
diverging roads of work and marriage, of
labor and home love. The author appar-
emily thinks woman cannot follow both at
the same time, though some modern
women in real life manage it with fair
success.
The setting of the story is California,
but the scenes change so rapidly and so
| radically that the reader Is almost be-
wildered. Miss Lane has herself expe-
rienced various aspects of the life she de-
scribes, and ii almost seems as If she were
trying to crowd all her adventures into
one book Life jumbles things up in
queer fashion, but fiction, to be most eff
fective, must have a care for unity of i'm
preston. The photographed accuracy
of detail is, however, one of the chief
merits of the book.
Miss Lane has tried the different tasks
which her leading character attempts, and
so she knows how to give verisimihtude
She has worked at telegraphy, so she is
aware how to make Helen Davies seem at
home in the school for telegraphy and in
the offices where she is employed. She has
been a real estate dealer. SO that Helms
vntures at selling land are realistic Like
wise, her work as newspaper reporter
furnishes copy for her heroine's journals
tic career. With respect TO reality, the
book is admirable.
The accuracy of place Is noticeable, too
The author gives the spirit Of town or
countryside, as well as the outward ap-
pearance. Take the opening paragraph:
"There is peculiar quality in the SOM
Violence of an old town in which little has
occurred for many years. Itis the unease

interesting, and she traces the changing
attitude of the middle West during these
years Of war as well as It has been done.
The trouble Is that no one wants any
longer to read how the war came to
Sabinsport We all know; for if we
don't there are innumerable ways of find
ing out open to US. When some one can
create fine novel which has for its
theme the coming of the war to the mid
die West and can convince us that the
novel is first in his heart we shall be as
wax in his hands, as we are in the hands
Of any real novelist. So long, however,

sweet tempered always, docile without be-
ing bores. She had learned that men are
Infatuated by three things: questions, ba-
bies and woman who was Iii. She had
learned that success in business depended
upon putting up a front and that a
woman's part in that was to help without
asking why or for what end. She had
learned that the deepest need of her own
nature was to look up to the man she
loved, even though she must go down on
her knees to do it She knew that she
adored her husband blindiy, passionately
and that she dared not open her eyes, for
fear she would cease to do So"
Sample talk:
The real reason We don't marry is be-
cause we don't need husbands. We need
wives. Some one to stay at home and do
the dishes and fluff up the pillows and
hold our hands when We come home tired.
And you wouldn't marry a man who'd do
it, so there you are"
"The one thing a real man wants is to
shelter his wife; they're rabid about it.
And what use have We for shelterf We've
been fighting in the open so long we've got
used to tive like it."
'YOu can't find a man who makes as
much money as you do who cares about
music and poetry and things. I'm putting
Eiuasy in the bank and reading Masefeld.

lounge aimlessly about the street corners
cannot be wholly idle. Their hands, at
least, must be busy. The SCARED posts
and notehed edges of the board sidewalks
show it; the paint on the little stations is
sanded shoulder high to prevent their

under the weight of the slow, uneventful
days; but its pressure is always there, an
urge that becomes an irritation in young
blood"

distance, looking ''ike a weird forest

Ida Tarbell's Novel
Is Much Too Serious

THE RISING OF THE TIDE: HOW
1 THE WAR CAME TO SABINS-
PORT, Ida Tarbell's first novel, is in
reality nothing more than a studious
article on a subject which IL it has any
new aspects cannot be said to assume
them here. Miss Tarbell has thought
deeply (has she ever thought otherwisei)
and long over her subject and, wishing
to express herself, has chosen the novel
as vehicle; but in her zeal for self-expres-
sion she has crowded her novel against
the wall until all breath has left its body.
Two hard working characters are con-
stantly busy for her pleasure, a pastor
and an editor. So she has unlimited
field for discussions. What the pastor
can't say the editor can write, and what
the editor can't write Miss Tarbell can.
In its framework The Risisg Of the
Tide IS exactly like Freeman Tlden's
Khaki: How Tredick Got Isto The War.
The minds, hearts and souls of half dozen
people of middle Western mining town
are laid bare In detail and the rest In gen.
eral. Although the story covers the years
from July, 1914, to October, 1918, it is
not long, and it has many other fine
points. Miss Tarbell would be incapable
of writing anything that hadn't. She
gives a clean and human picture Of the
little town, her arguments are strong and
