THE NEW BOOKS
Under the Roof of the Jungle"

Far up in the Guiana wilds, Charles
Livingston Bull. the famous painter. set
the stage for this Interesting book, which
portrays the character, habits and pecu-
liarities of the animal life in the great
forests. lakes and streams. far from
civilized communities Of South America.
The author gets his inspiration for
writing the volume from a description
of British Guiana, written by an Eng
lishman more than hundred years ago,
in which the earlier writer said in re-
fering TO the gorgeous beauty of the
wilderness: IF thou hast but courage to
set about giving the world finished
picture Of it. neither materials to work
on, nor cOlOrs to paint it in its true
shades, will be wanting to thee" MIR.
Bull had the courage to paint this great
picture. for. equipped with sketch hooks
and color box, he went to the remote
fastness, far up the Orionco. TO the pri-
mevial forest and It's myriad animal
folks.
From the great spotted cougar, the
king Of the South American jungle, TO
the man o war birds, which the writer
calls the buccaneers Of the air." a care
full study is made Of their life and ac-
tons in their natural habitats. There
is nothing dry in the descriptive matter,
for with each Of his subjects, the au-
thor weaves an interesting story, intro
ducing the characteristics Of the creatures
in subtle and charming manner.
The author has produced work that
is valuable as fiction and as nature study.
Accompanying each section of the book
there are several nature studies in pen
sketch.

LYNCHINGS MUST STOP

Texas has broken all records in lynch
ing during the last two months. But
the Lone Star state is having keen CON-
petition from other southern states in
establishing high water marks for the
greatest number Of these exposiiions Of
barbarism and savagery. IL remains to
be seen whether the states in which these
horrible outrages were committed will
profess commendation by indifference. or
whether they will wipe the slate clean
and. once again, remove this stain
against their honor by doing everything
in their power TO prevent future out
breaks.
Not alone are. the few. states wherein
lynchings take place brought into dis
repute, but the honor of the Nation is be-
smirchcd, for there is no other country I'M
the world where anything like lynching
takes place with the same frequency
that il does in the United States. Amer
lea is looked up to by the entire world
as humane and moral nation, but when
these bloody and uncivilized and mex
cusable crimes are committed, wherein a
large number Of supposedly respectable
people take part. there is little wonder
that foreigners look askance and begin
10 feel that their judgment is premature.
Lynching must stop. Racial misun-
dersiandings must be cleared up, and
when crimes are committed, justice must
be given according 10 the rules laid down
by law.

many. 1t is a splendid book for those
who may be interested in the resources OF
the Rhenish cities.
In the first chapter the author takes
the reader to the mouth Of the Rhine.
As he travels up the river he describes
the picturesque villages. the cities and
the castles along the banks Of the II
yer. He describes scenes both along the
Upper and Lower Rhine.
Lengthy but interesting descriptions
are devoted to the cities of Utrecht and
Coblenz and the territory of Alsace.
Although the purpose Of the book is
primarily to describe the cities, their
resources and points of interest along the
Rhine, the monotony Of plain descrip-
ton is broken by an occasional historical
account or legend connected with some
Of the Rhenish villages and cities.

"The Good News"

The author. Bernard Iddings Bell, ID.
d., in his work in the army during the
war has found that religion has no great
hold on this country. but he takes en-
couragement from the fact that the youth
of the nation does not dislike religion,
but rather is not religious because Of ig-
norance of the real tenets of religion and
Christianity In this volume he has at
tempted TO give in clear and concise
manner the fundamentals of religion.
He presents the matter in a new light.
and condemns the activities of evangelists
and teachers of superstition. He makes
an appeal to reason. not to sentiment.

such bad shape for a time that he was
forced TO use his little two-wheeled cart,
with which it takes him about six hours
to make the long trip.
In speaking of his work Mitchell said:

and the farms and land are in good

"Rahab." !"

After a passionate love affair Fanny
Dirk, in ''Rahab," marries Harry Luve,
the heir of an old southern family, who,
after his marriage, refuses to settle down
but continues his career begun in col
lege, that of drinking and carousing.
Finally he leaves home shortly before
the birth of their daughter. During his
absence, a northern man comes into the
life of his wife. Luve is converted TO
Christianity in the slums of New York
and returns home as an evangelist. He
turns his wife out of their home when
she confesses the story Of the other man,
who taught her her duty toward her
husband, and Fanny goes to the city.
During the years that follow, even while
she is the keeper of notorious house in
the ci,y-s underworld. she seeks for the
truth behind the struggle of life.
The ending Of the book leaves the
reader in doubt as to the answer that
Fanny finally found to her problem and
the authors purpose is well hidden.
Those who enjoyed reading The Sheik"
will find this much more entertaining.

F[ENNER WADES
INTO PAPER MEN
Attitude of Washington
Editors No Help to

POCATELLO, June Guy Elem
ner, head of the Idaho Reclamation
Association, which is conducting the
American Falls campaign, states most
emphatically that he does not approve
the attitude of the Washington edi-
tors who threaten renrisals if the
McNary-Smith reclamation bill is not
passed at this session OF congress.
"Such threats only place stumbling
blocks in the way of this big develop
ment program contemplated by the
McNary-Smith BILL" Mr. Flenner con-
tinued
"This is purely business matter 1t
is in no sense political Advocates of
reclamation are, for the most part,
from states of small population and
small voting power. They must sell
to representatives of heavy populat-
ed eastern states, such as New York
and Pennsylvania the fact that future
nation expansion depends largely on
reclamation in the West, and that
eastern manufactures should be con-
cerned in the new markets that would
be developed. To antagonize these
people with political threats from a
more or less impotent political part
of the United States, as to voting
strength, seems to me to be puerile
and unbusinesslike; and it certain
ly gives wrong impression of west
