and lacking in specta cular fea-
lures. As a result it has scarcely re-
ceived its full measure of popular ap-
prec aticn. Just what our ships did in
checking the submarine menace is very
well described by Ralph D. Paine in
The Corsair in the War Zone (Hough-

The Corsair was 4 yacht owned by

many months of hard and continuous
service in European waters Mr. Paine
who needs no introduction as skillful
writer Of sea tales, builds up d most
interesting story Of the Corsair's ad-
ventures. The officers and men of the
ship seem to have been in the habit Of
keeping diaries; and the author often
draws upon their impressions to sup
plement his narrative. So we have
these typical extracts from the journal
Of an unskilled but enthusiastic young
blue jacket:

N
w q and Literature, pub
lished by Harper &
Bros, achieves twofold object. It
gives an excellent full size portrait of
the author and it reviews the shifting
political, literary and social currents of
English life during the last forty or
fifty years.
A Thoroughgoing Conservative
Mr.. Malloek is first and foremost a
conservative, and proud Of it. His life
has been largely devoted to the task
of combating heresy, alike in politics
and in religion. He found the broad
church atmosphere Of Oxford under
Jewett distasteful and set himself to
find philosophic support for dogma in
religion. This problem always ab-
sorbed him, and, in reviewing one Of
his later works, The Reconstruc ction of
Belief, he sets forth the following
pragmatic justification of religious
faith:
"The necessity Of religious belief as
practical basis of civilization is
restated. The absurdity of all currents
on the part of clerical apologists to re-
vindicate it by scientific reason is set
forth in detail. The true vindication
is shown to reside in the fact that re-
ligious belief works, and that scientific
negation does not work, and that here
we have the practical test by which the
validity of the former is to be estab-
lished."
The author was by no means ex-
clusively devoted to such grave pur-
suits. On the contrary, he enjoyed a
very active social life, which he de-
scrbes with considerable spirit He
met Carlyle, Swinburne, Browning and
other less distinguished literary figures
He writes with warm appreciation Of
the hospitality of the great English
manor-h houses. He travelled in Cyprus,
Italy and Hungary. On one occasion,
with a party Of friends, he went to
Monte Carlo with high hopes of Dreak-
ing the bank, but only succeeded in
breaking himself.
The author visited America about

guardian with a sense Of mission ,
About Joan he says:

guardian with a sense Of mission" ."
About Joan he says:
Zone can imagine her (she Is q
chauffeur in the Waacs) driving Gem
eral Dyer to his Amritsar battue with
as much ecstasy as if she were driv-
ing the Almighty to St. Paul's Ca
thcdral One cann2t imagine her wor-
rying her head about the ethics Of
snoolng down unarmed Indians. Ger
tainly one cannot imagine her, In an
excess of rebellious rage, driving Gen.
eral Dyer into the ditch"
The author is willing to admit that
Arnold Bennett has written two good
novels, The Old Wives Tale and The
Matador Of the Five Towns. Barring
this achievement, he considers Ben
nett "the Gordon Selfridge of English
letters" and comments rather unkind
ly upon his extraordinary productivity
in all fields Of literature "
Mr.. Goldring brings his book to a
close upon personal note He con-
tesses a liking for musical comedy
and an occasional weakness for the
movies. Among his favorte authors
arc M6rinee, Turgenlev, Flaubert and
Christina Rossetti He describes his
experiences as co-elitor of The Eng
lish Review with Ford MADDOX Hueffcr
Mr.. Goldring's essays cannot be called
brilliant or profound, but these ad.
jecvives can scarcely be applied to the
objects of his criticism The autho,
reveals an excellent literary taste
ombined with entire freedom from
can't and affectation. And the book
bears the impress of a most ikablc
personality.

In his testimony before the Sc
nate committee, Admiral Sims
succeeded in demonstrating very
clearly-to his own satisfaction
that our naval policies "crum-
med" the entire deal in the mari
time part of the war. Still, re.
suits count for something and,
regardless of the bone-headed-
ness Of the navy department in
declining to abdicate and let
Sims run the Whole thing, Uncle
Sam got away with his share of
it in cleaning up the Huns. The
policies OF Secretary Daniels
were no doubt based upon the
combined counsel Of high naval
authorities and, quite NATURALLY,
he must have felt some hesitancy
about making Sims the sole boss
of the job. In the long run the
work of our navy was eminently
successful. OF course. it is pos
sible that Admiral Sims might
have been able to do a much bet
ter job in less tiIGe but this is a
mere matter of opinion; the ad-
miral himself thinks so but there
are very excellent authorities
who disagree with him In the
absence of actual test, we have
no means Of knowing that the
Sims policies would have worked.
1t is easier to theorize than to
perform.

A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH
NOT BE ASHAMED.

How many men when judging
themselves in the light Of God S
truth can feel that they are work
men that need not be ashamed
The rich man and the poor man,
the employer and the employe,
the preacher and the teacher, the
hodcarrier and the poet are all
on the same level when they
measure themselves as workmen
that need not be ashamed.
The employer must work as
faithfully as the employe. the
rich man must recognize that In
some form of work for humanity
his responsibility to work earn
estly and with a whole heart is
equally as great as that OF the
poor man struggling to support a
family.
Increased wealth or power
merely intesifies mans respon-
sibility to work.
Wealth brings no release from
work; it simply creates new and
broader responsibilities.
The man who bemoans slack
ness ON the part of labor must
study himself and his associates
that he may see whether he IS
setting labor a good example or
not
1t is worse than folly to de-
nounce labor for not producing
to its full ability unless the man
higher up is mentally, morally
and physically producing to the
utmost power of his strength.
Increasing strength to do M
creases the responsibility to do.
The laboring man who has
lacked the opportunity for full
development and who loafs on
his Job does not deserve blame
as much as the rich man or the
employer who loafs ON his job by
turning his work over to an I'M
derstudy while he spends his
time in idleness.
In these days when all the
world must work, when men
everywhere must hear the call OF
humanity for more production,
when men and women and ba-
bies are suffering for food or for
medical attention, or for the Cos
pei message of love, the idling
rich man should never dare to
utter one word of criticism OF
the idling, inefficient laboring
man.
ct the rich man, the employer
and every man who has achieved
say to the man lower down in
financial power, "Come on" not
eco on. Then labor will march
side by side in productive work
with capital. Manufactures

1t seems that the American Le-
gion is not taking kindly to the
proposal to build a 100000 me-
mortal to the soldiers at the
state capital. They seem to
think that hospitals for soldiers
would be more appropriate and
practical. An Oklahoma City
newspaper suggests that the pro-
posed memorial arch, built by
subscriptions taken throughout
the state, would aid much in
beautifying the capital city. 1t

THE ISSUE IN THE SENA-
TORIAL RACE.

The issues are already made
up in the senatorial contest in
Oklahoma this year, and the
fight is to a finish between Scott
Ferris. congressman from the
Sixth district, and Senator Gore.
Ferris has given the people OF
his district and the Democratic
party of the state and nation
fourteen years of honest, loyal
faithful service. He has been SIX
times reelected by a grateful
constituency in recognition of
that service and to show their
approval of his course. In all
those years he has been respon-
sive to the viii of the people who
sent him there as their represen-
tative. During these seven terms
in congress his character and 10y
atty have never been questioned.
His opponent. Senator Gore,
has held the position since state
hood and is now near the end Of
his third term. For the past four
years his course in the senate has
been challenged and bitterly de-
nounced by the people whom he
claimed to represent. In the
hours of its deepest travail he
has found favor with the enemies
of the government both without
and within the nation by hisyote
and his attitude on the perplex-

This writer attended the short
course in Union the 21-23. On ac-
count of the high water we did not get
to Neal Shoals, but stayed over art the
Central school building. This short
course was the best that has ever
been held and every demonstration
was fine. Our good Editor has already
told all the nice things We had and we
paid visit to his office and we enjoyed
it. Correspondents, you should have
been with US to see the Cat smile. We
also had the pleasure of having him
eat with us, and my, what good eats
we did have! And when we ate water
melon our Cat sure did smile.
Miss Johnston was our story telling
demonstration and we all enjoyed these
hours.
Miss Watkins the flower lady who
told us how to make our homes beauti-
full.
Miss Bailey talked on the art of
dressing well.
l am quite sure every club boy and
girl derived lots of benefit from the
trip, and too, we have made plans to
make our county fair one of the best
we have ever had land every club
boy and girl is going to do their part.
Much credit is due to Miss Mahala
Smith for our pleasant stay in Union.
