One day Willie, who was six
years old, asked his mother if he
could go fishing with Robert, who
was seven.
His mother said he could not go,
because he was too little to go
fishing.
They lived in New Jersey, along
the coast.
Willie told his mother he would
go to Roberts house and tell Rob-

A Valuable Barrel

When Lincoln was a little more
than 20 years old, he was clerkine
in the Lincoln and Berry grocery
store. One day some one was pass
ing the store moving his household
goods. To help the mover who,
perhaps, felt he needed money
more than books, Lincoln bought 4
barrel from him. In it he found a
complete set of Blackstone's law
books. With these he began his
study of law, which helped, later,
to send him to Washington as

opposed to human nature, that capi<
tai is as necessary as labor to the
production of wealth. that there
would be no incentive to ambition
in the absence Of prospects OF ma
terial reward? 1t is by means OF
such arguments that the author pro-
ceeds; he is a partison in what must
be acknowledged to be disputed ter
ritory and endeavors to win the
reader to his side by means of the
usual commonplaces. In partial JUS
tification of Mr.. Doughty it must be
said that the book aims merely to
make the nature of Socialism clear
to "the average man.: but this
scarcely serves to palliate the fact
that, in spite of its copious reasoned
arguments, the book has an air of
what may be termed unconscious
prejudice. To write an entirely un-
prejudiced book on a subject such as
Socialism is indeed exceedingly diff
ficult; the author will be influenced,
without realizing it, by his personal
preferences and predictions; il he
favors Socialism, he will incline to
be biased against the capitalistic sys-
tenn, and if he opposes it. his bias
will lie no less distinctly in the OPP
posite direction. Mr.. Doughty's book
stands as an illustration of this ten
dency; but this is not to imply that
it does not represent the sincere
convictions of thousands or that it
will not serve the general reader ex-
cellently as an introduction to the
standard anti-Socialistic arguments

He believes that Germany was not
prepared for the war and that the
nation itself was not inspired with
the will to win, but was weakened by
spirit of defeatism that would not
have been endured in such a crisis
in any other country.
"Civil dictators, conscious Of their
road and with eyes fixed on victory,
like Clemenceau and Lloyd George"
he says, "were entirely lacking with

1t was not alone envy of German
efficiency, he says. that gained for
the Germans the aversion of the
great majority. "We had managed
by less worthy qualities to make our

He is also well inspired in his
insistence upon the need of examin-
ing it, as a system of philosophy. in

era, of its institutions and political
and social organization. The twelfth
century was thoroughly constructive,
and in the thirteenth we meet one
Of the great periods of achievement
in the course of history-a century
which he aptly calls water shed"
between the past and the modern
eras. He follows in rapid outline

century, the beginnings of the uni
versities, the establishment and de-
velopment of the great monastic
orders and the final dominance OF
scholastic philosophy. with its com-
preheasive classifications of knowl-
edge. Finally he shows the relation
ship OF the system to later thought.
The study of modern philosophy"
he conclsdes, must lean not alone
upon Greek philosophy but equally
on the conceptions of the world and

efficient it might be in its economic
administration. however equitable in
its distributor of goods, it would still
place its emphasis first Of all upon
material things: it would still regard
wealth as an end rather than as a
means to an end; and consequently.
since it would accomplish no changes

would fail in essentials and would
