remains field of abiding interest; for
while a continuous line of progress may be
traced from the earliest Greek philosophers
to the present. yet that progress has by
no means reached elimination; and so
long as the human mind continues to mani
fest an unsatisfied curiosity regarding the
universe. so long will philosophy con-
tinue to be Of Importance.
Every new book of philosophy, ac-
cordingly, should be the object Of our re-
spectful attention-for who knows what
volume may not contain the key to some
truth previously undiscovered? Take, for
example. Sir Charles Waston's treatise on
''Harmonism and Conscious Evolution"
Here we find an attempt 10 formulate
new point of view toward the universe;
to PROFOUND philosophy Of 'Harmonism."

Winchester's Essays

AN OLD CASTLE AND OTHER ESSAYS
BY Caleb T. Winchester. Edited by l. B.
Gilet The Macmillan Company.
" HIS is a volume that will receive the
warmest possible welcome from the
many thousand admirers of the late
Prof. Winchester. for no great teacher of
the last generation was ever better loved
beyond his class rooms and beyond the
other colleges where he was for many
years one of the most popular visitors
The paper which gives the title to this
selection was delivered several hundred
times. but has never before been printed
That is also true of all the essays in the
volume except those on Ruskin Clough
and Bronson Alcott. which appeared in a
magazine of small circulation. This COL
lection is thus substantially a new book:
a most valuable addition to the small bulk
of his collected remains.
But 1t must not be forgotten that these
essays are intripsically of Importance:
literary criticism of the highest order. Prof.
Sir Walter Raleigh of Oxford once said
that "Of all the men met in America the
most interesting was a man by the name
OF Winchester'-of whom he had never
heard until he came here. He is better
known. now that his work is done. This
collection holds an apprecative estimate
OF his work by Henry w. Nevinson Be-
side the papers already noted it contains
four lectures on Shakespeare. two on the
literature OF the age OF Queen Anne and
others on Swift Burns Browning and
Arthur Clough.

A good example of Mr.. Maynards dis
eliminating study may be found in his
valuation of Mrs. Meynell's work, which,
he says, shows the essays striking through
into the poetry and the poetry into the

"A General Communion" he remarks:

He finds John Masefield a Chaucerian

to the greater Importance of his later
work. He finds him an adorer of beauty
a Fatalist and devoid of the slightest sense
of humor.
Altogether Mr.. Maynard's book is vivid

"An Introduction to Poetry" is not in

that what is needed is a new and con-

life and thought, and a reform of our
ethics, leading to the reform of religion"
In order to arrive at such a new outlook.
the author begins by considering the dom

"harmonistic" instinct in the ordinary af

the earliest life, of plants as well as of ami

 COUNTY GOVT.
 TO BE TESTED

CHEYENNE, Wyo, July IF. - Whether or not Teton County, bor- dering the Yellowstone National Park in the extreme western end of the State, is legally organized is a ques- tion that the Supreme Court of Wyom- ing must settle as the result of suit filed in District Court, in Kem- merer, Wyo. The outcome will de- termine whether Wyoming loses one of her counties, as an adverse deci- sion by the States high court would revert the contested territory to Lin coin County, out of which Teton was formed two years ago.
 The suit involves number of con- stitutional questions.
 The State constitution provided that no new county shall be organ ized unless it has at least 1,500 bona fide inhabitants and $2,000,000 as- sessed valuation.
 The 1919 legislature passed law raising the requirements to 5000 population and $5,000,000 valuation, thus presenting the question of the legal right of the State Legislature to increase the minima prescribed by the constitution.
 If the legislature had the right, it is contended by the plaintiffs, the new county cannot be organized, as 1t is admitted in the suit that the Teton territory contains only few over 1,5O0 population and slightly aver $2,- 0OOO00 valuation.
 Numerous other constitutional qucs- tions, the majority closely related to the one aforementioned are 1n- volved in the suit, and it is expected the case will be given early hearing in the Supreme Court.
 The act creating the unorganiZed County of Teton, was passed 5y the last legislature, the territory involvei being the famous Jackson Hole county, former rendezvous of bandits and bad men" of the wild and woolly Vest
 If the Supreme Court sustains the contentious of the plaintiffs the sec tions will remain a part of Lincoln County; otherwise it will be organized into the new County of Texton and begin independent existence.

It is desirable that state agricultural colleges and experiment stations and state game commissions and conservation societies cooperate also in promoting the raising of fur bearing animals in captivity. Ex- tensive investigations should be made in regard to their feeding, breeding, and general management Parasites and diseases affecting fur bearers should also be studied.
 The biological survey believes fur farming commendable and valuable adjunct to the fur industry. The ex- tent to which it may become factor in increasing the production of fur can be determined only by future developments.

John McGraw had to have some one
to take the place of George Burns and

Casey Stengel who had simply been
the lester Of the club.
The outfelder Of the Yankees has

Last winter the CLUB owners tried to
buy every ctnterfelder in the league
with the exception of Cobb and Speak

Mack offered Whitley Witt for the
waiver price and the Yanks grabbed
him.
Both Stengel and Witt filled the hole
on the two clubs.
Witt can get around faster than
Stengel, but he is not as dangerous
