A new knock knock" comes out Of

'Filene.' 'Filene who?' 'Filene one

course, finish their sentences, but they
would have the pleasure of so doing

success, accentuated at each mile
stone the battle between his idealism
and his ambition, which invariably
resulted in a compromise, to the sub
sequent loss Of both.
Whether one believes that the aver
age young mans character is subject
to such generalization, whether one
believes that such problems arise in
the average youths life, whether one
believes that the average youth has
such high ideals, or whether one be-
lieves that the only fashion in which
such ideals can be put in effect is by
first climbing to the heights by such
compromises, nevertheless the book
is worth reading both for its earnest
mes Of purpose and its fictional ap-
peal.
"Compromise" clearly is an unusual
book, for its theme is woven so cleverly
with woof of social moraliZation that
it is as easy to take as sugar-coated
pill. Its plot, too, Is unusual, for it
Is not so well worn as are most of the
plots in use today by the modern au-
thors. Starting when the young man
is befriended, after graduation, by a
judge who is not only a successful
lawyer, but is also something Of q
political power, the plot moves swiftly
from climax to climax Under this
patronage the youth quickly enters
politics, where most of his compro-
misses were effected. BY the time the
book drew to a close he had been
States attorney, State Governor, cabi-
net member and United States Sem
ator.
The love affairs Of the idealist were
quite in keeping with the rest Of
the book. for he was physically
enamoured with his wife and spirit
ually chained to another woman.
First one and then the other Of these
women dominated his life and
thoughts, in such fashion as to keep
the reader guessing which one he really
loved and which was the greatest
influence in his life.
All in all, this book is one of excep-
tional merit. F. L. c.

At EXACTLY 4:10 O'Clock on the

tested point.

"HIS week, for the first tiri1e
since it began its much dis
cussed poll. the Literary
L Digest publishes figures from
48 States.
"Out of the 1,s11,4Ss votes" it
says, Gov. Alfred M. Landon is still
leading. More than one million per-
sons-1 .004,08 to be exact-appear in
his support; President Roosevelt Is
backed by 728,088 ballots.
1.-THE Kansan leads in 80 States:
the present master Of the White House
In 16. There are 370 electoral votes
belonging to the States now in the
Republican column; 161 to those with
Q Democratic lead.
"Still to be counted in, however, Is
much of the big city vote ."
The report then takes up the
widely-discussed question as to the
fairness of the poll in representing
actual sentiment.
According to an official statement
from Washington" 1t notes, there
were, as Of September /. $3.50, 900 per-
sons on the rolls Of the various New
Deal relief agencies. Since 1888. it Is
estimated that there have been ap-
proximately 16,250,000 beneficiaries Of
doles, A. A. A. benefits, etc.
" - On the other side Of the pic
ture, there are 63,000.000 life insur-
ance policy holders, As, 5,O00, 600 gainful
workers over 81 years of age, 40,000.-
600 savings bank depositors, 24,000, 900
security owners. 22,50O,0O0 passenger
automobile owners and 10,650, 900
residence telephone subscribers, ac-
cording to recent surveys"
Noting that there is q tendency to
place disproportionate emphasis on
the relief-getting minority. the report
continues.
"As q matter Of fact about one
eighth of those now on relief
will not be eligible to vote at all.
And judging from some Of the farm
State returns, a considerable number
Of benefciaries will none the less vote
for Gov. Landon."
That the President is gaining Is
shown by the fact that for the sixth
consecutive week he has "nicked the
lead captured by Landon in the ini-
tial scoring. Landon's percentage this
week Is 55.4; Roosevelt's 4G.l.
For the Kansan, this is a loss from
569, seven days ago."
WEEK, the Digest's young
competitor, devotes some slightly
ironical pages to comparing the ac-
tivities OF the two candidates on their
stumping tours. At the top Of one
