This is the time of year to

It's the season when young

There's an abundance Of

difference, too. between the
small. medium and large eggs.
Generally If the price diff

Charles Aneoff Now Brings
The True Mencken to Liuht

But denying Mencken all
his usual accolades, as Angoff
does here. the Baltimore icono-
clast still remains the great
disturber of the peace. AS
such he was sorely needed at
a time when the peace sadly
wanted disturbing.
Mencken is portrayed here
as a complex man; one, for
instance, who could joke with
friends about his own Negro
relatives" but turn furious in
a moment when others started
joking back about his
wife's Jewish relatives" Was
Mencken a true liberal? An
goff guesses he was not. Was
he an anti-Semite? Not this
either, is Angoff's verdict.
Whatever he was. he had a
contagious quality about him.
Angoff might be surprised to
learn this. but there is much
of Mencken in the private
speech and private CORE
spondence of Mencken's latest
biographer.
For Mencken fans. this book
is a must. For Angoff fans
a far smaller but a growing
group - this predominantly
nom fiction book is equally es-
sential.-WILLIAM HINES

For Charlotte Bronte it was a

PARTY POLITICS. BY Ivan
Hinderaker. Henry Holt g.
Co., Inc; $8.75.)
Not since v. o. Keys
Politics, Parties and Pressure
Groups" has any one come for
ward with such a thorough
dissection of the American
political party. In this election
year, Prof. Hinderaker's study
ought to be read by every
party worker from precinct
chairman to national chair
man.
Our political structure and
the character and functions of
our two major parties are de-
fined with rare understanding.
First is q study of the politi-
clan, his function, his environ
ment and his standards. The
author deploreS the wide
spread tendency to group poll
ticians alongside gamblers,
procurers and yaller hound
dawgs. The statesman. he
says. must first be a clever
politician, with ever an eye on
the possible, if he is to enjoy
any success in statecraft.
Craftsmanship is often as
much comprised of the prac-
tical approach as it is of the
dream.
Professor Hinderaker sug-
gestS that a more centralized
party structure at the national
level would provide more party
responsibility at every level.
Along these lines he repeats
an often heard plea for bien-
NAL national conventions, a
party council to serve as a sort
of intra-party liaison board.
and a better balanced repre-
sentation in the organization
of the two major parties.
Although the author puts a
finger on many of the weak
nesses in our party structure
which are not likely to be inn
proved in the foreSeeable flu
ture, it is well that from time
to time we have authoritative
voices calling attention to
them.-DAVID KOONCE

BY Reason of insanity
MR.. SEWARD FOR THE

MIR. SEWARD FOR THE
DEFENSE, by Earl Conrad
(Rinehart: $685. brings out
a highly interesting and prob
ably little-known phase in the
life of William H. Seward. who
was President Lincoln's Sec
rotary of State and the man
who brought about the pur-
chase of Alaska.
In the period of this book,
1916. Mr.. Seward already had
attained eminence - he had
served two terms as Governor
of New York-but for the time
being he had settled down to
law practice in his small home
town, Auburn, N. Y.
A New Defense
When he decided to defend
a convict at Auburn Prison
charged with the murder Of
another convict, the lawyer
raised squarely for the first
time in American jurispru-
dence the question of insanity
as a defense for crime. Such
a defense was virtually I'M
heard Of, though there were &
few cases of record in Eng
land. Mr.. Seward called in
experts on mental illness.
though even they knew little
of the subject in that day.
While the convict, after one
jury disagreement. eventually
was hanged, it was the second
such trial that really caused
an uproar all over the country
and estranged Mr.. Seward
from his townSmen for a year.
A Negro citizen ran amok and
killed several persons. He was
obviously unbalanced, but the
town was yelling for his blood
and also for Mr.. Stewards
when he again raised the de-
tense of insanity. 1t became a
cause celebre. After the APP
pellate court had reversed a
conviction and sentence of
death, the defendant died in
prison, fully demented.
Precedent Making Points
Mr.. Conrad. often quoting
from the record of this trial,
restores wildly its precedent
making points and feverish at
mosphere. The trouble is that
the author also offers many
descriptions, talks and excur-
sions into the minds of per-
sons involved, so that it is hard
to know where fact ends and
surmisable fiction sets in.
