THE NEW BOOKS
The Great Deception"

There has been much discussion pro
and con concerning the meaning Of. the
phenomenal vote that made HARDING
president. Some have interpreted it as
a rejection of the League Of Nations on
the part Of the American people. Many
sound thinkers. however, have found in il
not a rejection but a vote for the sup
port Of the League.
e Samuel Colcord in his new book, The
Great Deception" criticizes these views
and attempts to show that the issue did
not hinge itself on this question. he
points out that while the Republican
party demanded certain reservations, the
great majority Of Republican voters were
in favor of the League and voted in The
expectation that the success Of their
party would result in our entry into the
League. but with certain reservations.
The platform, he shows, distinctly en-
dorsed the vote to enter the League.
To make it appear, As many have done,
that PRESIDENT Harding's seven millic1
majority was agains; the League of Ma
tons is indeed the Crea. Deception in
Mr.. Colcord's mind.
Whether all are inclined to agree with
Mr.. Colcord or not, and regardless Of
the stand one may hold on the question,
this book throws an interesting light

IDEALS SHOULD CHANGE
SAYS DIR. EDWARD DEvINE
Editor of Survey Tells College Stu
dents Philosophy Of Nietzsche
Is False.

"The newest <ideal of eternal life j
life not only in the beyond but lite OF
this earth that is rich, full and sane,
said DR.. Edward T. Dcvine, lecture
and associate editor Of the Survey, in al
address yesterday in the Stephens Col
lege auditorium.
"ldeals have too long been REGARDED
as static, whereas they are dynamic ant
should, be changed from time to time
Our ideals at the present time are under
going a radical change"
DR.. Devine stressed the difference be
tween American ideals, which are thoss
of democratic individualism, and thost
Of the Nietzschean philosophy, which sac
rifice the mass to the superhuman. He
cited the latter philosophy IS repre-
sentative of a pyramid. where the com
mon masses huddle at the bottom with
no chance for advancement and the one
supreme ruler is at the top.
American society, on the other hand
he said, Els constructed to refute such an
ideal. Yet even at the present time
there exists too much Of this subcon-
c~iousness Nietzsche theory. whereby the
successful man is regarded as a law un.
to himself and all society s~ubordinated
to him. We as a society need a complete
freedom from such a condition"
The world conferences resulting from
the World War have caused another
change in international ideals, Doctor
Devine pointed OUT. Formerly the su-
preme consideration in internationalism
was enlargement Of national boundaries.
regardless Of peace or amity, whereas
now the newest consideration is a state
of world understanding and sympathy.
The nation is becoming less important
han the world.
In all social groups" he continued.
there is becoming recognized the de-
velopment al once Of the individual and
the group as inseparably in.errclated
components. Whatever augurs well for
the unit and the mass is true social
advancement.
America today needs a more complete

as a thing which affects only the
person but as something vital to the
whole nation. Every American child
has the right to be well-born, a right
which is all too often neglected. Child

national progressiveness.
Our social and economic rights are
jus, in the making. and it is for you and
to make those rights. The individual
must coordinate with the group"

Vilhjamur StefanssOn.

Editor the Missourian: accept no sub
stitutes" may be a good rule to follow
sometimes. Ii breaks down, however
when the substitute is no less a parsonage
than Vilhjamur Stefansson, world-famed
Attic explorer. The Debating Board OF
the University is bringing him to Colum.
bia, direct from his home in New York,
in place of Irwin S. Cobb, who was un.
able to fill his engagement here.
Stefanson's fame has in truth spread
over the world. He has made a dozen
trips Of exploration and eihnographical
research to the regions around the North
Pole. One of his discoveries was the
blond Eskimo, a tribe which had never
seen a white man. He is the author of a
plan to reclaim the icy wastes around the
Pole and make the region fruitful.
Born in Manitoba, Vilhjamur Stefans-
son is a British subject, although he was
educated at the state universities Of North
Dakota and Iowa and at Harvard and has
spent his entire life on this continent,
except when he has gone beyond it to
the Moth. One Of his recent expeditions
claimed Wrangel Island for the British.
The trip in l908-l2 was jointly backed
by New York, the American Museum of
Natural History and the government of
Canada.
The Debating Board does well to bring
such men as Vilhjamur Stefansson and
Will Irwin TO Columbia. Their lectures
afford us a contact with great men which
is not shared by any town Of this size.
Stefansson, like Irwin, will be worth hear.

FOR A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Literature is the highest form Of ART
and books are the physical expression Of
literature. knowledge Of literature is
essential TO all present day civilizations
AID especially is il essential to a democ.
racy. Since it is impossible for all Of
the people to buy all Of the books neces-
sary to their literary development, some
cheap medium of exchange is essential.
A free public library is the most prac-
teal medium for such an exchange.
The public library in existence in Co.
lumbia at present is at best a makeshift.
A library association has been formed and
plans made for establishing a real library
that will meet the needs Of the people.
Before such a library can be formed,
however, an adequate system Of revenue
laiuot NC sCtulCu.
The proposal to vote a half mill tax on
the assessed valuation Of Columbia prop.
cry would furnish the revenue necessary
to insure a public library. At the coming
election April 4, the voters Of Columbia
viii be given an opportunity to decide
whether they want to support a library by
a half-mill tax or be satisfied with the
makeshift organization now in existence
wh;ch does not even own a building to
horse the few volumes Of which it boasts.
Those who wish the best for Columbia
should vote in favor Of the half.mill tax.
