/" Where with our

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Hippantl-.
sometimes recklessly.

Mr.. William English Walling has
written another book Mr. Walling
is a writer of books which are read
| by persons who want real informa-
ton about important things in human
relations. Therein he differs from
a great many other writer's of books.
Mr. Walling was a very close friend
of the late Samuel Gompers, and
when Mr.. Gompers went to Europe
to attend the peace conference he ask
ed Mr.. Walling to go along to give
counsel and assistance. Mr. Walling
performed that unselfish service hand
somely.
Mr.. Gompers used to delight in tell
ing anecdotes about Mr.. Walling be-
cause of the very genuine affection he
had for the man. Once Mr. Gompers
said of him with that emphasis which
those who were friends of the old
chief will remember as though his
tones were heard again, "He's real
man; he's splendid"
All this has nothing to do with the
book which Mr.. Walling has just
written, except to illuminate the
background. Many men write books,
but SO many do it merely in the effort
to seek the fiscal glory that may en-
sue.
This new book is about Mexico and
Mexican policies. Mr.. Walling spent
some two or three months in Mexico
in diligent investigation. There are
few better Investigators. This book
is then, therefore, the result of real
findings on the ground. 1t is not a
book of theory or of guessing. It is
book into which the author has put
what he found out.
There are ten chapters dealing
with the Gales policies. These chap
ters were so accurate that President
Gales gave written approval of them.
Those who want to know accurately
what are the Gales policies can find
out in this book
1t would be good thing if Mr..
Hearst would read at least these ten
chapters. of Mr.. Walling's book.
Somebody ought to spend two dollars
and send him gift copy.
