After a long discussion of the bridge arbitrary, ang after the three judges Inaa asked numerous questions, they ally ascertained definitely that this charge of 20 cents a ton over the East St.” Louis Fate constituted the arbitrary. 4 Judge Hook, during the discussion. asserted ‘that’ if the Terminal .

Judge Hook remarked, in response to this statement, that the cost of the Grand Central Station in New York Clty was almost as much as the cost of building a railroad from New York to Chicago. The cost of this depot, and of the new Pennsyivanwm station, he said, were distributed over the New York Central and Penn- sylvania system. “And,” said Judge Smith, “it doesn’t t any more to go to New rern w than it did before these new stations were bullt.” Priest also advanced the argument of * oe = - .

He believes it ig a problem for physicians and economists. This opinion holds use he understands that one is driven. to .crime either by hunger or disease. As an attorney and as Pardon Attor- ney for Gov. Folk, Mr. Mosby had an oppportunity to look into this problem. Me has looked at it with the eye of a scholar, a thinker, a humanitarian. Hig conelusiong come after ripe thought. This makes his book on “Causes and Cures of Crime” a valuable contribu-ia tfon to this phase of sociology. He sees in mar both soul and body and urges our legislators to do the same. He also sees man as a creature of en- vironment. .The sooner those who make the laws look at man socially and not in- dividually we shall, he thinks, begin to learn how to deal with so-called crimi- nals. This is the thesis of Mosby’s book. It is particularly opportune at this mo- ment in Missouri, since the world has come to know that our penal inétitu- tions are pufiftive rather than reforma- tory. The author urges the abolition of peni- tentiaries and their substitution by re- tormatories where offenders will be treated as sick persons and not as ani- mals. He urges that “those placéd in charge of such institutions be “men of vision,“ able. anf willing to serve man- kind rather than draw salaries as a re- sult of political services rendered to a party or a successful candidate.

ACK LONDON is getting “mithty J preachy” these days. A little while ago he gave us John Barley- the use of strong drink. Now he comes »/ forth with “The Valley of the Moon, which is, in effect, a plea for the starv- ing and oppressed of the cities to go to the country where, as he portrays it, they can easily get a > ttle land and a living. John Barleycorn’ was the biography of a man who couldn't stay off liquor. and the love note was practically ig- nored, so that it could, by no process of reasoning that accords with the facts, be considered a love stpry. “The Valley of the Moon” is a love story as well as an arraignment of present day economi’ conditions. The hero and heroine are from the humble walks of life. Billy Roberts is team and sometimes prize fighter. Sexon Brown: is a laundry worker. Thé currentg_of their lives flow together at a bricklayers’ picnic, in Oakland, Cal. and love et, first sight enthralls them. They are of native stock and as fine a pair physically ag anyone could wish to see. They are happy even when a team- sters’ strike throws Billy out of work and the larder in their little home is empty. This strike is the real thing as pictured by Londan. Sometimes Roberts beats up a “scab’’ and sometimes the “scabs” get him. Saxon grows weary of this riotous living, so to speak, and she becomes obsessed by a dream of the delights of life in the country. She h a vision of a valley of peace and plenty, of green fields, wonderful orchards and beautiful streams. Billy is tirtd of the city, too, and he soon heeds the call back to the land that comes through Saxon. So they start out on a wondrous tramp fo: the valley of Saxon's dream. They wander hither and thither about the Golden State and hitherto un- dreamed of joys come upon them.

(MaeMillian.) STRINDBERG’S “RED ROOM.” “8HE RED ROOM,” by August T Strindberg, may bé a living, palpitating thing in Sweden, but its atmosphere and conditions are so peculiar to that country that few American readers will enjoy the story. it at best is a melancholy thing and when we haye read through its chap- ters of raving, we wonder what good is to come fror it. The author appar- ently has no respect whatever for the press, the Government sere, art, criticism, drama or the morals of Stockholm with the life of which he deals. At least, this ts a digest of the opinions of the group of painters, critics and writers, which he appoints to sit in judgment on the civilization about him and then quotes them with apparent approval. The books titiv comes from the meeting place of the coterie of knockers, who see n» good in anyone or anything. But the -really good thing in the | book is a drunken money lender whom ‘the author draws with ** malignant skill. (Putnam). 3 “IN SPITE OF EPILEPSY.” HIS is the odd title of a boek by T Dr. Matthew Woods, author of more than a dozen medical pub- lications on épilepsy. His present work takes the lives of three great epileptics and Lor! Byron, and shows how they succeeded in becoming world famous in spite of what is undaubtedly one of the worst afflictions that handicaps human beings. The author manifests great sympathy for his characters, especially am- med, who, he holds, has been m mis- understood and whose character. as 4 sincerely great man, is accountable for the fact that he still has 170,000,000 fol- lowers ready to lay down their lives for the beliefs and principles he enunciated.

The new group of stories is naturally susceptible to more tender treatment than the heroes called for, and the qual- ity of tenderness is well attained by the author. The new book is in part a rételling of stories of the Christ in which children figure and in part a re- telling of other familiar stories in terms adapted to childhood’s understanding.

Parents and nursés who use this book, either to read to little children or as a gift, would do well to point out to the young folks that “Clever Grethel,” for example, the cook in the story who ate the roasted fowls and then tricked her master and the guests in auch a way that they became enemies and she es- Caped all punishment, is not a good copy for little boys and girls. (Rand, McNally & Co.) “THE SALT OF LIFE.”. 10 D says Rudolf Ducken, 18 the salt of life.” In “Ethics and Modern Thought, a The- ory of Their Relations, Eucken gives, briefly but clearly, the gist of his phil- osophy, the presentation of whicn in his various larger works has won for him the Nobel prize, and placed him in the ranks of the great philosophers. His Writings are so closely connected that it is difficult to pick out samples for quotation. The present volume com- prises the Deems Lectures, delivéred in 1913 at New York University. Eucken believes that mofals, to be effective in modern life, must be aided by religion. (Putnam.) SCIENCE AND THE BABY. Oo™ ot the most remarkable books of the year is Anna G. Noyes’ “How I Kept My Baby Well.” It has been charged frequently that parents pay less attention to the health of their children than cattie raisers do to calves and stock generally. But Mrd. Noyes’ baby réceived more care than any prize calf or colt ever did. She is a college- bréd woman and well read in the liter- afure most useful to mothers. Her book shows a most careful record and study of this, her first baby, whom she kept tn good health during his first four years by the methods she details. There are interesting photographs and charts fa the work. (Warwick & York.)

Producta whose duties are expected to be increased are always hurried into the country in unusual quantities just before the new schedules take effect. Products whose duties are expected to be lowered are permitted to accu- mulate in bonded warehouses for distribution after the revised rates are available. The consequence is a lessened import of both classes of products in the weeks succeeding the first rush under the amended schedules. Failure to keep these well-known conditions in mind caused many predictions in the first few months of its operation that even the Payne- Aldrich law would prove a disappointment as a revenue-producing measure. There is a practical agreement now that it was a great success in ex- tracting money from the pocket of the consumer. The propaganda of pessimism turns to the revenue figures because it is baffled in other di- rections. If imports have declined, instead of increasing, then it cannot be true that the low- ered stone wall has enabled the foreigner to grab the American market. The efficient labor of America must be holding its own to date against the pauper labor of Europe. If ex-Premier Laurier has been given reason for bitter complaints that one effect of the new tariff is a shifting of trade conditions resulting in higher prices in Canada, then the ruin predicted for the American farmer cannot as yet have been sighted. But the propaganda of pessimism is re- sourceful. Laughed out of one attack of neuritis, it speedily discovers cause for yielding to another attack. BIDICULOUS OITY HALL, SITUATION. The untenable position of city co-operation in profitable law-breaking by the Billboard Trust has been abandoned by Building Commissioner Me- Kelvey. He has sent out, he says, 25 inspectors ta scour the city and report on billboard structures that are maintained in defiance of the regulations and will inaugurate a belated campaign of law enforcement as soon as this work is done. “It does not seem advisable,” he says, “to push the new legislation further.” He is, of course, right. But the dawn of sanity at the city hall finds City Counselor: Baird still immune to its influ- ence. He announces that the majesty of the law must bow to the paste bucket and the three-sheet poster until Jan. 19, instead of Dec, 19, as it was at first understood. The “reasonable time” he speaks of is not, it will be noted, time to enable solicitous and law-respecting interests to bring existing billboards into conformity with the legal regulations. It is time to enable the lobbyists of law-defying interests to bring the regulations into conformity with the billboards. The executive officer most concerned stands for equal enforeement of the law with special privi- leges to none. The-legal officer, who should be found in other company, stands for suspension of law for the favored, remission of tax by private agreement, immunity for law-violators. It is a ridiculous situation. — ~ — — — 4 * 1 4 N 5 * ban * 2 3 . FN 2 * . ‘ — Mt ‘es SS ROP eats Pee ec ee ae ae Sher oR oily. er * N — 8 . * * yt et .
