nection with Whitman's career is the
fact that he was led to revolt by the
same moral considerations that later
brought about the civil war. He was
discharged because of his uncompro-
missing attitude toward the extension
Of slavery in the new territory ac-
CURED from Mexico. Here is one
more link between Lincoln and Whit
man. the only two 100 per cent Dem
ocrats America has produced. Whit
man claims to have been the first New
York editor to "set his foot down"
against a compromise with the South
ern Democrats on this question, and
he was one of the first Free Soil
Democrats. At the same time Lincoln,
In Congress, was fighting the same
battle over the Wilmot Proviso

life, 1t seems to me the greatest i'm
portance in this early work attaches
10 the fact that il Enthusiastically repre-
sents the first draft of Leaves OF
Grass" the prose draft. To me the
tragic thing about Whitman is that
the people for whom he wrote have
never been able to get his message.
mere, in the simplest and most under
standable form.
For students and those interested
in understanding the poet himself
there is the record of what he read
and what he thought of books at the
time he read them, as well as his
comment on the issues of the day. Old
newspaper files are OF absorbing inter-
est to me. but they are extremely diff
hcult to read. This is me file Of a
newspaper that happens to have been
edited by the outstanding figure in
American literature. and presented in
book form.
Finally, 1t seems to me, 1.-The Gath
ering of the Forces" should help to
bring about complete revision of the
common estimate of Whitman. He was
first of all an American and a Demo-
crat. Democracy was his religion. In
my humble Judgment we shall never
make democracy work until we show
the same religious belief in it as was
manifest in everything Whitman
wrote.

| AIRPORTS. Edited and Complied
| by George Seay Wheat. G. p. Put
MANS Sons
H Is curious fact that the older
mechanical means of transportation
| ana the newest one-railroads and
dviation-suffer in similar manner
from the same serious difficulty. The
tracks of the railroads are in reality
little used throughout the twenty-four
hours; the ambient air offers innu-
merable pathways. But earth and air
are both short on terminals
For the railroads little hope can be
entertained until they are allowed a
return on the needed investment for
securing enlarged and improved facili-
ties for landing alike passengers and
goods AS with the dove from Noah's
Ark, seeking rest for the sole of its
foot, the aid need also is for ADEQUATE
| terminals.
The object of this small but very
suggestive book is to show that the
problems OF the day in commercial
aeronautics are summed up in the
creation and administration of flying
routes and landing spaces, particularly
the latter. The flying industry cannot
use clouds for garages. 1t must have
pied te,re.
Some people, now the great war is
over. are inclined to think that avia-
ton has struck an air pocket and that
the art will droop for lack of such
enormous stimulus. Never was there
a greater mistake. They know better
who have followed such exemplary
work as that of Handley Page. have
heard him describe his modus operandi
or have seen his films of business
committing by plane.
The earlier days of automobilism,
still quite recent enough to be keenly
remembered by struggling pioneers
thwarted by ever recurrent dead
centres" were attended by much the
same pessimism. We all ride in cars
to-day; we shall all resort to planes
as an agreeable alternative.
| With universal resort to the air as
safer than the highways, and growing
desire for proper aerial road houses,
| increasing emphasis will mark the
novel wants outlined by the various
authorities whose experienced views
and careful suggestions are here set
forth. A surprising list Is presented
of no fewer than 1,34S towns and cities
In the United States where exist land
ing fields-emergency. ordinary, mu-
nicfpal or governmental OF these
forty-ive are under the control of
cities or chambers of commerce.
The argument is boldly advanced by
some of the contributors that munich
palities OF ambition should at once get
into the game. When 1t is remem-

doubtless be minimized with airplanes
