The World and All


Gene Stratton-Porter had. il is estimated. twenty
five million readers who could be counted upon q
read, if they could manage it, almost everything she
wrote, soon after the matter appeared in print. She
had a great influence upon her generation. she did
much to popularize the study Of birds and moths and
little animals Of the woods and swamps. Her books
helped along a pronounced American movement toward
outdoor life.
Her daughter. Jeanette Porter Meehan. who for 4
long time served the famous writer n secretary. has re-
Gently published a book about Gene stratton- Porter
It is called "The Lady Of the Limberlost."
I have not been a reader Of Gene Stratton- Porter !
books. When ! was quite d yOungster | dipped into
two or three Of them. and found them undressing 70
ne. The rather obvious sentimentaIty Of the love
stories, and the sweetish quality Of the inspirational
stories we're not according TO my taste. So I have no
~first-hand knowledge Of the literary value Of the books
Of this f%avorite American writer. But find this book
By the daughter a very interesting document.
Most OF the book is taken up with letters that pass
ed between Gene stratton-Porter and other persons.
Many Of them are love letters that we're written ~
Gene Stratton 10 Charles Porter. the prosperous back
country druggist, and others that were written by the
druggist to Gene. Then there are letters from readers
and admirers all over the globe, sent to the famous
author after the publication " her books.
These thoughts | get out Of the daughters book
about her famous mother Here was a woman wzo
wrote naturally about the things she loved most and
knew the most about. Gene Stratton- Porter was a sue
cessful writer because she wrote simply ard sincerely
about nature and love and boys and girls and men ana
women, never venturing far away for her materials, and
never writing above and beyond her own experience
and observation. She wss a good and optimistic won
an, and the goodness and optimism or her books we're
reflections Of those qualities within her heart.
II Gene Stratton-Porter had tried TO write novels
about the court Of Queen Elizabeth, she would have
failed. She wrote about the birds and folk Of the
swamp in her own back yard, and she was a great
success.

n. Edmund Machold, chairman Of the New York
state republican committee, announces that DR. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president OF Columbia university. will
support Herbert Hoover and the entire republican
ticket
DR.. Butler was much disappointed because his anti
prohibition views did not prevail at the republican con-
vention, in Kansas City. Later, he attacked Mr.. Hoo
veris stand on prohibition and naval disarmament, in a
letter to the New York Times. he has had much TO
say within the past year on prohibition.
II Mr.. Hoover and his field marshals can find sat
iEfaction in the decision Of DR.. rutler to remain "regu-
lar they are welcome to ID. Persons who have watch
ed the doctor perform for some years did not expect
him to bolt the republican party. DR.. Butler has a
flair for politics and, deep down in his heart. he may
cherish the ambition to be president Of the United
States.
Educationally, the presidency Of Columbia is an inn
portant post, probably the most important Of its kind
in the country, but il is nothing like 50 big q job as
the presidency Of the United States. When the man
who occupies the White House speaks the people listen
20 him and across the seas STATESMEN cup their ears
not 70 miss a word. But there have been times when
the current president Of Columbia could hardly make
himself heard and when his remarks were treated with
contempt, as occurred at Kansas City.
II is quite probable. therefore. that DR.. Butler would
jump at the chance to win the republican presidential
nomination, which he never could do IL he boIted the
party ticket. There may he no chance whatever for
him to be nominated, although he has been "men-
toned" a number Of times. But hope springs eternal"
Is the bard expresses it. Who knows but that Or. But
Ter. in remaining with the republican party, despite ITS
unwillingness to take his advice, dreams Of q future
reward?

The Value of Highways

"Rome was only as great as her highways" a keen
minded historian has pointed out. He was right
says the Grand Forks. North Dakota. Herald.
'As the roads spread the power and prestige Of the
nation spread. TIE Alps we're scaled. .he territory nov
occupied By the French republic was covered with \
network of herd surfaced highways. and all roads led
to Rome.
The Old roads Of Caesars day we're built as mill
tsfy roads. Of course, but they we're used for purposes
of the hour and served their end.
In the United States hard surfaced roads are ps,
needed primarily a. military roads. but we are living IN
the age Of the automobile and nobody is going back to
the horse and buggy. We travel by motor and move
our supplies 70 considerable extent BY motor. The
state with poor roads is behind the times and not
abreast with the needs Of the age. Progress depends
70 a considerable extent upon roads and so long as va
burn gasoline and travel on rubber this will continue
to hold true.
l. the United States, or any state within the United
States, only IS great as its highways? An affirmative
answer may be a trifle harsh and a bit ~overdrwn. but
at that It would not miss the mark a great deal

The popularity Of Governor Smith in the East ia
largely due 70 the progressive policies he has advocated
during the four terms he has served as governor Of the
Empire States. Contrary to general belief in the South
the popularity Of the New York executive Is In no way
associated with his stand upon the prohibition issue
Throughout the East opposition to the eighteenth
amendment and the Nolstead law is accepted as some
thing 70 be expected, and prohibition does not occupy
the paramount position as an issue il does in tha
South and West.
The Baumes laws. the expansion and rehabilitation
OF the public school systems, development Of water
power. expansion Of the port Of New York; eonstruc-
tion Of the most complete and efficient highway sys-
TEN IN the United States; law enforcement to a degree
other Eastern states have not attained; improvement
Of the inland waterway system, reduction Of real estate
and income taxes. and equalization Of the tax burden
upon . more scientific basis are among the attainments
Of the Smith administration. Practically all other
Eastern states have been marking time" while the
Empire state has forged far in the lead-and the peo-
pie Of the East know that Smith is the guiding force
behind New York progress.
The idea opponents Of Smith are endeavorinr TO
disseminate through the South and West that the New
York governor is the champion Of the undesirable ee-
ments and is opposed by the progressive elements Of
the East Is without foundation. No governor OF any
state has accomplished more for a greater number Of
people than has Alfred Smith during the years he has
guided the destinies Of New York. BY appealing to the
people he has forced the republican majority Of the
Ne" York assembly 70 accep. his policies. BY sheer
force q his personality, his sincerity and unquestionsd
honesty he has, with the cooperation Of the New
York electorate, retrieved that state from boss rule.
such as Pennsylvania and other eastern states have
experienced for half a century, and placed New York in
the fore trent among the most progressive states Of
the Union.
The official record Of Governor Smith shows he has
never appealed to the people Of New York in vain.
Time and again republican opposition in the assembly
has forced him 20 carry his battle to the people. and
be has been consistently victorious, defeating the re-
publican obstructionists in their own stronghoids. It
il not strange that in view Of such a record the people
Of the East. disguised with the boss rule and reaction
airy policies Of the dominant republican party, should
find in the New York governor a popular leader. a
leader who has proved his ability. who has demon
strated his clearness Of vision. his progressive policies,
and to whom the affairs Of the nation may Be safely
entrusted.

a conception Of the spread Of this as most other dis
eases Of children. It is primarily carried by people,
not by things, 80 that in times when the disease IS
prevalent, 1t is safest to protect children against very
close contact, particularly with any member OF the
family who mingles with the general public.
As a rule neither those who have the disease. nor

at present the most promising form Of treatment
for the early stage Of the disease before paralysis be-

who have very recently recovered from an attack. The
use OF this human serum demands expert technique in
preparation and administration. II is also necessary
that the physician be called 1t the first signs 81 III

without paralysis.
Under these conditions il seems that the resulting
paralysis is likely 20 be less than without the use Of

treatment many cases OF the disease occur which leave
