The Books Bows Like

Picking out books for a boy TO read is one OF the
most fascinating and enjoyable jobs there is. There
is such a wealth Of good books TO choose from. Tor
one thing; and merely reading off the titles viii gen
craIlv arouse such O keen reminiscent thrill that ones
boyhood. for the moment. is VIGOROUSLY recaptured.
The taste Of adult society changes, from genera
ton to generation. But boyaood is more conservative
II sticks 70 the ~favorites Of its fathers, ss a general
thing. = new book has a hard gauntlet 20 run. It
takes a generation or two for boyhood to accept i.
The list Of boyhoods most favored books is one Of
the most exclusive circles in the world. It is hard 10
break into. but once a book does get in It stays for
q long time.
That Denver librarian who recently queried q num-
Der 81 famous men on their most priced hoyhood
books got some answers that prove the point. What.
in this modern mechanical age, was at the head Of
the list? What but Robinson Crusoe"-with The
Last Of the Mohicans' in second place, and such
magnificent romances as Mark Twain, Dickens, Jules
Verne and Scott coming close behind.
Buying books for a boy MAJ be fun. but it is not a
task TO undertake lightly. An adult can accept a
poor book and forget It: boyhood needs something
that will stay by II. II needs something with a spark
Of genius IN It. something that viii tickle the imagi-
nation, and start the spinning Of dreams and the
weaving OF visions. out OF which a secure background
for q whole lifetime can be built.
A fearful amount Of tripe IS published in the way
Of boys books. There seems 10 be a notion abroad
that a boys book need not be as well written as one
that Is intended for his more critical father. But
children have a greater capacity than we give them
credit for. and the man who intends to write for
them might consider the fact that most Of the books
that boyhood gives Immortality to we're written, or
iginally. for groTn-ups. Scott, Dickens, Cooper, Du-
mas. Mark Twain-they wrote for adults.
Of course. there are exceptions. There are "The
Jungle Books and Captains Courageous" for in
stance: and The Wizard Of o." and Uncle Remus,"
and a few others. But they are not many. Even
"Alice in Wonderland holds as much for adults as
for children. III not more.
In fact, that is true OF most really good boys
books" We who are older can read them with as
much enjoyment as our sons. In a few cases, our
changing tastes may have played us false: Scott and
Cooper. in particular. are a little bit off the track
for most Of US in 1880. But is there a grown man
anywhere who could not re-read "Huck Finn or
"Tro Years Before the Mast at least once a year?

$1,000 wage earners. And then its editorial writer
goes on to say "the report Of the National Bureau OF
Economic Research has shown that industry Is slip
ping away from the larger cities into the smaller ones
and the concentration Of population and industry,
other words, the drift is the other way. The News
asks the question and then answers It:
What has happened?"
This is the answer: Electric power is what has
happened. Electric power transmitted economically
over wires makes it no longer necessary to plant fac
tories near the mine. 1t makes power for the small
factory as cheap as the power for large. Experience
has proven that a certain sort Of small plant. given
the advantage Of cheap electric power, is more econ
onical than the large plant" is the conclusion OF the
Ohio newspaper. Its verdict is, now we see the de-
centralization Of industry. In two years the power
used in 100000 smaller plants increased by nine per
cent. Instead of shipping goods to the people we are
beginning TO ship the factories to the people.
Ohio is a great industrial state. After a survey Of
census figures the editor OF one Of its leading news
papers declares that the new census shows that the
small village Of co years ago. its environing farmers
driven into the factories. has continued to shrink but
the smaller cities with their small Industries taking
on new life are growing. In other words he says the
industries which the steam engine packed together
the electric motor is taking q part and a new rural
civilization but industrial rather than agricultural
is a-building."
And this is Just what is happening in Texas. Texas
rivers and streams are being harnessed. Power sites
are in demand. Power sites are valuable. Impounded
water is valuable. Control Of flood waters IS one OF
the demands OF the hour. There is a new Texas, q
new civilization, modern legislation Is demanded and
the adoption Of the amendment to the constitution is
a reminder that the people are beginning to think fo-
themselves.
It was a knockout for the poison distributing ty-
-L1,l NFart-e a-S rra~-e ~ r-axa< ,oT;fi~ Of ro,,roa
many excellent men and women voted against the
amendments for reasons that they believe it is the
sworn or rather the sacred duty Of a citizen to vote
against all amendments to a constitution that was
drafted and approved by the people OF the common
wealth more than 56 years ago when livestock in
dustry was the basic industry Of Texas. the ranges
were free. the barbed wire fence unknown. wild game
aoounded everywhere and the total population was
just a little beyond the 2.ooo.oo mark Texas Is on the
way. Push the vehicle Of progress along. Get out
Of the ancient ruts. Give the commonwealth a chance
TO grow.

Aimee's Judge Lost His Job

There are times when the American voter Is ex-
c~eedingly discriminating. This happens when his or
her hat is on straight. Superior Court Judge Carlos
S. Hardy Of Los Angeles was known as Aimee Semplc
McPhersons judge. He received a check for $500
from Aimee when the trials and tribulations Of the
fascinating evangenstic enchantress electrified the
reading public. He was a candidate for reelection.
What happened is ancient history now. A majority Of
the voters OF Los Angeles tossed the Judge into the
ditch Of defeat. Ne was weighed, found wanting and
then sent TO the big thicket where the lame ducks go.
This should be a reminder to judges the country
ever that the people are the masters. when they as
sert themselves. OF course the Judge had a de-
Tense. He said the check was for legal services rem
6ered. Now he will be permitted TO practice all Of the
time and not some Of the time. II appears that JUS
tice and not the Judge is sacred in Los Angeles. At
any rate justice was held sacred and not the Judge
when Carries S. offered for reelection.

Diaries and Privacy

The sculptor in Richmond. Va, who left directions
in his will that his diary, which he had kept up to
date for 70 years. be burned without being read By
anyone, had. it seems to us, the right idea about the
proper place a diary should have.
A diary, if it means anything at all. is composed
Of ones most private and intimate musings on ones
self, ones life and ones acquaintance. It's excuse
for existence Is the fact that its author wants to get
things off Of his chest but does not feel like letting
his fellow men hear him do IL. II is strictly a per-
sonal matter. Hence. when the diarist dies. he does
not want others to look at II. They would get too
close a glimpse ct his own soul.
The man who writes his diary with the notion that
someone else. some day. will read it is not really :
diarist at all: he Is simply an exhibitionist. The
genuine diary exists only for the writer OF II.
One Of the problems Of the hour is how to get the
Wickersham committee out OF q huddle.

BY WIN. Z. GILROY, ID. ID.
Editor OF The Congregationalist


The title Of Jul lessen is rather
startling. for IL is amazing 10 realize
that after all these 1900 years Of
Christian progress and Christian in
fluences race prejudice III our mod
ern America and in other parts Of
the world is still a tragic reality,
constituting perhaps. the deepest and
most difficult Of all our problems.
Sometimes one hopes that the
situation is getting better. and then
some violent outbreak occurs which
shows that the progress has been
very superficial or very limited in
its area.
4 few years ago in our own land
We associated race prejudice largely
with the south. and many in the
north. especially in the Gays Of the
abolition movement in New England.
pointed the finger Of scorn at the
slave areas in the south; hut during
the course or the years while race
prejudice in many ways has reced-
ed in the south. it has grown in the
north, and the line between white
and black in certain areas of north
ern society and in the minds and
dispositions Of many individuals is
as sharply drawn as 1t ever was in
airy other part Of the country.
On the other hand. in many parts
where race prejudice at one time
dominated almost every sphere OF
life, great progress in kindness and
consideration has been made. and
many individuals. largely because OF
their effort to make Christianity a
practical reality. have come to an
entirely different attitude.
Some Progress Made
In my own circle Of friends are
some Christian men and Nmen
trained in the south. whose forbears
we're owners of slaves and defended
the institution Of slavery. who are
today among the foremost leaders
in seeking justice for all without re-
gard to race or color.
The problem of black and white
In America has been SO acute that
we have not. perhaps. realized the
extent to which racial prejudice is
found outside that particular area,
but as our American commonwealth
has grown In population and In the
h~eterogeneity of its 120, ZOO, 900 in
habitants racial prejudices manifest
themselves In various ways and with
various degrees Of acuteness.
In some sections IL Is strongly
marked against the Jew, in other
sections 1t discriminates against the
italian or other peoples from the
southern Mediterranean area. There
are still places where II operates
against the Irish, and other places
where the Irish. In the majority.
manifest IL against those who have
come to America in succeeding
waves Of immigration.
Yet when we come to study what
race and nation has given to
the world. the treasure Is very mark
cd. When we consider the pains
and sorrovs and the joys and bless
ings. We realize that human nature
partakes Of all these things alike.
