LIBRARY NOTES

Recently two most notable books
of criticism have been added to our
shelves: Prejudices, third series, by
H. L. Meneken and Americans, by
Stuart P. Sherman
The Century says, ''1n these two
books Journalist, who Is as
learned as a professor and a pro-
lessor, who is as spirited as a
Journalist, cross swords. Mr.. Meme
ken is by temper wit and a free
lance; Mr.. Sherman is by temper a
teacher and a statesman. Mr..
Meneken is as irresponsible as a
devil; Mr.. Sherman is as responsible
as God. Naturally they hate each
other. Naturally they fight when
their paths come together. 1t would
perhaps, in the circumstances seem
malicious to show in how many
points they agree. 1t is sufficient in
word to hint that they are both
men of genius, who write brilliantly
and that the sparks they give off are
among the most joyful items in cur
rent criticism"

WESTON WINS TOURNA-
MENT AT POCATELLO

Weston won the Southeastern
Idaho Basketball Tournament at Po-
catello Tuesday, by defeating Poca-
tello in two games, the score of the
first one being 27 to II and the
second 23 to FL in favor of Weston.
Weston will now go to Moscow to
play for the state championship. Last
year this same team won the North
western States championship and
were stopped from going to Chicago
to play for the U. S. championship
on account of low finances.
Ten teams were eligible to enter
this tournament, but Shelley failed

truck and the locomotive have become
on the land. He discusses various dis
advantages, real as we'll as fancied, bu
finds none to offset the advantages. Con
corning the higher initial cost of thu
motor ship as compared with the steam
ship, he concludes, and very logically
that if the world is going to adopt thu
former eventually as being less expensive
to operate, and superior in other ways
then the nation first to motorize its
merchant marine will have an advantage
over its more backward competitors.
Another conclusion that is apparently
logical is that Great Britain is in the
best position to assume such a leader
ship by virtue of the fact that it hasn't
such an excess of steamships. compared
with pre-war figures, as have other
countries, notably the United States. In
a sense this is different story, but the
two are so inter-related that it may be
we'll to consider them jointly.
In 1913 Great Britain and Ireland to-
gether had a tonnage of 1S,696,237; the
British dominions, 1,735 ,306-a combined
Tonnage of 20,431, 543. At that time the
total tonnage of the United States was
2,99S,457.
In 1923 the combined tonnage of
Great Britain, Ireland and the British
dominions is 21,95S.112, while that of the
United States is 14,59703
Since the beginning of the world war,
these figures show, the tonnage of the
United States has increased approx
mately 500 per cent, whereas that of the
United Kingdom has increased only
slightly more than per cent.
II the nations, at the close of the war,
had resumed commercial relations on
anything like normal scale the United
States, with its newly acquired. merchant
marine, would have been very much Gin
the SWIM" 1t was partly in anticipa-
ton of lively world trade that many
of the new American ships were built.
But with too many ships for the
trade, and with most of those ships of
type that may re superseded when a
revival in world trade does occur, the
United States government is not in a
highly enviable position, to say the least.

mating System" appears in the an
nouncement that during the remainder OF
the season, or until December, "the
market" will have to depend upon its
own resources for information concern
ing the cotton crop. In other words,
the government has issued its last esti-
mate, and will make no more reports
until the actual total production, shall
have been ascertained.' There may be a
good reason for this hiatus in the fact
that not even the governments EXPERTS
can foresee whether there will be an
early frost. However, it Seems some
what inconsistent, to say the least, for
the governments experts to issue esti-
mates before the farmers. have finished
planting their cotton, and then lapse
into silence while the last of the crop
is being harvested. 49,.

MOTOR DIsCOURTEsY.

There is a well-founded complaint
concerning many discourtesies on the
part of those who operate motor cars.
For instance, when the owner of car
and members of his family run around
to the home of those who have PLAN
ned to accompany them for the day, it
is regarded that he has perfect right
to sit behind the steering wheel and
press the button that sounds his horn
in loud and raucous calls, until his
friends appear with their wraps and
baskets.
1t is a privilege that is exercised,
at night, in the evening, in the early
morning, in the press of business CEN
tiers and in the quiet of the residential
sections, and although 1t is an infer
nal nuisance and disturbance to the
entire neighborhood, it seems to be re-
garded as quite the courteous and
proper thing for the motorist to do.
If one were in distress, and was
compelled to make signals for assist
ance of any kind, the repeated footing
of an automobile horn might be for
given. Indeed, it might even be re-
garded as n very proper manner OF
sounding an alarm of fire or orner
danger.
But to employ the device as a So
cial aid, where a polite and less an
noying summons has ever been Gus
tomary, is, to say the least, new
form Of savagery which has suddcnly
como to have many followers.-utlca

MOTORING MERCHANT MARINE

1t may not be many years until the
mercantile marines of the world will be
completely motorized. Already the
ocean-going motor ship, for passengers
as we'll as freight, seems to be coming
into wide favor. During his chairman
ship of the United States Shipping Board
Mr.. Lasker announced, presumably
after various comparative tests had been
made under his direction, that the motor
ship had an advantage of rs per cent
over the steam ship.
Now comes an exhaustive treatise on
the subject from British authority, who
says not only that "the motor ship has
come to stay" but that it promises to
become on the sea what both the motor

AS CLEAR AS MUD

At last someone in governmental au-
thority has undertaken to explain to the
American people why it is necessary to
amend the United States constitution in
order to stop the issuance OF tax-exempt
securities. He is Representative Will
liam r. Green of Iowa. A member Of
the House committee on ways and means
Mr.. Green ought to be able to answer
such questions. The layman is so busy
making money to pay the governments
bills that he has to depend upon govern
mcnt officials for the why's and where
fores of "thc law"
Put government officials had been
strangely silent under the fire of ques-
tons as to why it is necessary TO change
the organic law to enable the govern
ment to tax all incomes. 1t taxes some
incomes why can't it tax others? Wasn't
a tax amendments or something, adopted
about ten years ago? Yes, there was
and that, it seems, is just the trouble.
Consider Representative Green's cxpla-
nation:
Although it was generally believed
when that amendment was passed that
Congress would have the power to tax
incomes from any source, the Supreme
Court has since held that it does not eX-
tend the objects of the tax, and only
made it unnecessary to apportion the
tax among the states"
The layman may ponder that explana-
ton long and carefully, but the chances
are that his study will not take him be-
yond the simple conclusion that Con-
gress bungled its job; that it set out to
do one thing. and ended UP by doing
something else, and that this something
else is so adverse to the interests of the
country that the job must be done all
over again.
What assurance would the people
have that the lawmakers would func-
ton any more efficiently on the second
attempt? 1t is even conceivable that
the tax situation might be made even
worse than it already is, although it is
bad enough without further tampering
However, the people might be willing
to take the chance, figuring that if Con-
gress should aggravate the situation il
would be merely a happcn-so and moi

makers would be able to frame purpose
ly tax laws much worse than those al

Congress thought that it was doing
one thing; the Supreme Court ruled tina
it had done something entirely different

Days very seldom go exactly as
planned. Bristow lowered about all

consulting books, offering suggestions.
keeping Kelsey so busy. that he did
not have n moment to slip away from
his desk and look for the girl, and the
afternoon was not much better. 1t was
almost 3 o'clock before he felt free to
leave the office and seek her.
Most of the patients, he saw, with
their attendant nurses, were clustered
over at the side of the lawn, interest
eddy watching the destruction Of a wide
section of the wall beyond the encircl-
ing hedge.
He stood looking on with the others,
but his eyes were less engaged with
the wall than in sitting the group of
spectators for sight of the girl; and
he had about made up his mind that
she was not present, when he finally
saw her sitting on stone bench a
little removed from the rest.
Kelsey looked about for the omni-
present nurse, but she was nowhere in
sight: so he walked boldly over and
seated himself on the bench.
He felt the girl start and turn. but
he did not glance at her. With his
elbow on his crossed knee. chin in
hand, he sat watching the demolition
of the wall.
