YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT. BY
Jouett Shouse. Boston: Little,
proup 4y IN

Brown & Co.
TOUETT SHOUSE, former member
of Congress, former Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury, former chair
man of the Democratic National Exec
utive Committee, and at present presl-
dent of the American Liberty League,
in spite of or because of all his ex-
perience, still believes that the people
of the United States are the Govern
ment, that democracy still rules. He
admits, however, that "the cataclysmic
events of the past few years have
taken their toll of governments" He
fears that the average man and wom-
an do not realize the power of their
votes, and the purpose of his book is to
show them what votes have done in
our past history and what they may
at any time do again. Most Congress-
men would probably raise their eye
brows over the necessity of such in
struction; they know the power OF the
vote.
Mr.. Shouse outlines briefly. for the
book is small, the origins of our Gov
eminent in Anglo-Saxon civilization
and specifically in British constitu-
tional development. Our written Con-
stitution established a democracy,
with q system of checks and balances
designed to safeguard the rights OF
individuals. 1.-The chief end of popu-
lar government is in the promotion Of
the interests of individuals" The va
rious amendments to the Constitution
are discussed in their bearing on lib
erty and property rights. During the
years which have elapsed since the
ratification Of the Constitution by the
last State. Rhode Island, in May, 1880,
many changes in our governmental
system have come about, all under in
terpretations of the Constitution. Mr..
Shouse finds that under the influence
of adverse economic conditions enor-
nous changes have taken place within
the past two years. and he believes
that many of them endanger the fun
damental principles Of our Govern
ment and that there Is need TO call
a halt" before further encroachments

there to provide them with homes.
Not q trained writer, Durand yet
possessed gift Of conveying pictures
in words. He confined his narrative
to his own experiences and his de-
scriptions to what he actually saw,
and has given q faithful account of
life in one Of the chief English colo
nies at the end of the seventeenth
century. The religious nature which
made it impossible for him to con.
form to another form of religion than
his own for the sake of expediency,
which made him accept exile rather
than pretend to Catholicism in the
France Of Louis XIV, is reflected in his
writing. He was a firm believer in
Providence: I'm my fortune will be
seen the wonderful workings Of Provi-
dence" and 1T is q special favor of
heaven that our leaders have been
spared, Notwithstanding the fury g.

WHEN OLD TRAILS WE'RE NEW.
The Story of Taos. BY Blanche C.
Grant, A. B. New York: The
PreSS OF the Pioneers.
THE popularity Of Taos in recent
years, both as an artistic and
literary center and as headquarters
for chronological and archaeological
study, will make this handsome volume
unusually attractive to many readers.
Even before D. H. Lawrence went to
Taos it had an interesting history, as
the author of this book shows and
supports her showing with goodly
list of authorities and references. As
early as July of 1898 Juan Belarde.

leader of an expedition Of Spaniards

started playing at random various
things she knew he liked. Gradually
she drifted into the melody she had
discovered that afternoon. She played

abruptly stopped.
Lanes voice exclaimed, THAT was

Where did you pick 1t up?"

of that melody-build a symphony
around it. It's too lovely theme to
waste"
For the next "a hours Lane was lost
in his world Of music, working fever
iShly to finish his new manuscript.
When Lane had finished the score
he played it for Martha. He was very
serious as he spoke to her. Martha,
I think I've done it. This is my
masterpiece"
Il wonder" Martha replied
Lane flared up. What do you
mean?"
Nothing, dear; forget it." Martha
soothed him. You'd better get started
for the publishers She waved him
on his way. Two hours later Lane
came marching into the house like
a triumphal returning army. Figura-
tive banners flew in the air Martha
had seen him coming and was pre-
pared for his exultant shout. i've sold
it, Martha! I've finally landed. That
little theme melody did it. But with
out my surrounding composition to
build it up it would have been Moth

that"
1t was Martha's turn. Her voice
was firm, belying the trepidation in
her heart. Lane, you must listen to
me and understand. I deceived you.
Your father wrote that melody. You
finished it. Together you succeeded
both the old and the new. Nothing
can erase that"
Lane had frowned as Martha began,
and his face filled with accusation as
she continued. Suddenly 1t changed.

week will be assigned to Trafiic Court.
The underlying point Of the new
system Is that each assistant will fol-
low his cases all the way to their
termination. He will first hear COM
plants brought to Police Court by
policeman and other complainants,
will issue informations, take state
ments of witnesses, prepare the cases
and conduct their trial.

Prettyman said he recognizes the
difficulties arising from lack of proper
quarters for hearing witnesses in COM
plants, but urged his assistants to
divide up available room so that there
will be no admixture of the crowd

Methods of handling cases in Police

to expedite the work of his assistants
despite the obvious handicaps offered
by the limited and poorly arranged

Prettyman, who last week spent
many hours studying operations in

four assistants there.
He has established a definite rota-
tion of the classes of work, believing
this would improve the whole system.

Il know. dear, but this is your duty.
Some one has to straighten out your
fathers affairs, now that he's gone.
Forget the past. Won't you come
with me?"
Martha pleaded in vain. An explo-
sive mol" was Lanes reply as he
slammed the door and flung out of
the house. Martha turned away, her
face a study of emotions.
For months Martha's whole inner
being had been battlefield. She was
torn between her love for Lane and
a growing sense of her responsibility
for the estrangement between Lane and
his father. This feeling had been
cruelty accentuated the week before
by the sudden. death of his still alien
ated father.
Martha clenched her hands as she
exclaimed involuntarily. 1T isn't
right! I've got to atone!'
Half an hour later, as Martha as
cended the steps of her husbands boy
hood home, she recalled the time she
and Lane had gone up them together
Just as they were married. She had
been skeptical then, for his father was
a world-famous composer. He had
met them at the door and staged a
scene on the veranda she would never
forget.
Martha had been ignored while the
old man directed the TRADE at his
son. "Wastrel" and "upstart musi-
clan" she remembered were some of
the terms he had used. His final
words came back to Martha wildly:
you've disgraced me twice-first
with your ungodly modern music and
now with wife who approves Of it.
You can take your music and your
wife and get out!"
Lane was as high-tempered as his
father and the four years since that
day had cemented the breach.
Martha entered the house and set
about her task of cleaning it. AS she
busted the piano she noticed that the
manuscript on the rack was half
finished composition. Curiosity and
her love of music overwhelmed her.
She sat down and ran her fingers over
the keys. The piano was beautifully
mellow.
Almost without realizing it. Martha
played the score as 1t was written.
The melody rose about her. beautiful
and sure. She murmured aloud,
surely music like this can hold its
place forever" AS she left the house
the lovely melody still rang in her
ears.
Lane came home tired and out of
sorts. AS usual he had taken his work
to publisher after publisher. They all
repeated the same thing: Your music

loaded her with gas and oil. Then a
wire to the Junior Aviators of To-
ledo that 1 would soon be with
them and off we went. From
South Bend to Toledo is about 14O

little under 200 miles an hour.

single-seater, but I had little bags
and bundles tucked away in every
available nook and corner. Then the
side tanks were drained so l could
perform aerohatics-it would never
do to have gas splashing around at
the sides when twisting. squirming
and flying upside down.
Then a repetition of the acrobatics
that had been staged at South

Junior Aviators over the public adj
dress system, then climbed into my
ship and took off once more.
1 had broken a rule that day
which I have followed for years
and that is, not to fly aerobatics
after making a cross country flight.
Long flights, although not particu-
