Professor Mlchels. It Is sufficient to re
ft mark that hero Is a book by nn original
S n,l l(nrmiH thlnkpr. n. linnlc with whlnh
all students of political theory must
reckon, n book which stnnds out among
the few of chief Importance In Its own
field. In lucidity of exposition nnd In
stimulation of the mind to action nnd re
action It Is magnificent. Tho abundant
references to collateral material, In tho
text and footnotes, much enhance tho
alue of tho vjlume. It Is to bo recom
mended for reading and study because
of Its lmportanco. Just n.i Bluntschll nnd
Marx and John Stuart Mill may bo rec
ommended. Criticism Is secondary.
The book Is a sociological study of tho
oligarchical tendencies of modern democ
racy. It can hardly bo said that tho
thesis Is entirely now. But the develop
ment of the political Implications of the
sociological phenomenon of leadership re
sults In this case In a highly original and
f, significant product of 400 octavo pages.
What of America?
,F"m rf' Michel' "rolltlcftl Parties.")
The democratic currents of his
tory resemble successive waves,
they break ever on the snme shoal,
incy nro ever renewed. This en
during spectacle Is simultaneously
encouraging and depressing. When
democracies have gained n certain
stage of development, they under
go a gradual transformation, ndopt
tng the aristocratic spirit, and in
many cases also the aristocratic
forms, against which at the outset
they struggled so fiercely. Now
new accusers arise to denounce the
traitors; after an era of glorious
combats and of Inglorious power,
they end by fusing with the old
dominant clnss; whereupon once
more they are in their turn attack
ed by fresh opponents who appeal
to the name of democracy. It Is
probable that this cruel game will
continue without end.
f -The Illustrious physician. A. Jncobl, M.
D, VUV. points out tho exceeding Im
i portance of "The Child In Human Prog
s ress" (G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York).
r and In an Illuminating foreword states
f that George Henry Payne has produced
I a new sort of book and one that Is unlquo.
As a specialist In pediatrics, Doctor Jn-
cobl In 1875 found only a few hundred
-, pamphlets on tho child, whereas now
5- there are as many thousands on tho dls
E, eases of Infants nnd children. But these
i are purely technical, even in this day of
; eugenics and child conservation. Mr.
i Payne has produced a book that Is not
I only Instructive, but one which has his
torical perspective and Interest. As
s Doctor Jacob! bays, the history of tho.
" child has been grossly neglected. Mr.
Payne's carefully compiled work atones
for the previous neglect It furnishes so
cial and economic background for tho
researches of child conservationists nnd
. eugenlBts. It glvcB the medical practi
tioner and tho podiatrist a foundation for
; their specialized monographs. It Is, In
; Doctor Jacobl's analysis, "a special mono
, graph of evolution, through thousands of
i years, of slow physical, domestic, eco
nomic social life of tho child."
Tho book Is chronological in treat
ment of tho material aul philosophic in
, tone. It Is well illustrated and contains
l, several valuablo appendixes.

Conditions which innke life dlsagreeablo
for pastors In more or less small par
ishes aro relentlessly exposed by Peter
Clark Mnefnrlarie In his first novel, "Held
to Answer" (Mttle, Brown & Co., New
York nnd Boston). Mr. Mncf.irl.ine, In
tho course of a varied career, which has
made him one of tho best paid and most
Interesting special mryrnzlne writers in
tho world, was a clergyman, having
charges In California nnd tho Mlddlo
West. He knows whereof ho speaks, und
doubtlois some of his searchlngly per
ceived nnd keenly etched portraits of
characters- had lifo sitters. Ills hero Is
a stalwart Callfornlnn, who Is deposed
from his church by a congregation that
misunderstood. Ho Is finally vindicated of
culpability for n crime of which ho was
totnlly Innocent, but tho blame for which
he bore In order to shield another and
pre-cnt the death of tho real culprit's
saintly. Invalid mother, from sudden
shock. It Is Indiscreet, of course, for a
clergyman to visit tho apartment of a
fascinating nctress, even after prayer
meeting and for tho laudable purpose of
promoting her salvation Misconstruction
follows John Hampstead's action. But ho
Is a better, finer man nnd pastor fpr his
ordeal by lire. And Bessie, noblo typo
of Ameiican girl, is all tho more loving In
that be Is more worthy of love.
The book Is notable for Its Insight Into
parochialism nnd for ts vivid style. At
times tho author's language seems too
flowery for common dally use. Vigor
would bo promoted by lessening vividness.
But the novel Is very readable.
John Trevenna has departed from tho
realism of the novels which have- won for
him famo for a fantasy that Is as attrac
tive as It Is unusual, In "Moylo Church
Town" (A. A. Knopf, Now York). Mr.
Trovenna's partiality for genro studies Is
again In ovldenco In his new romance, but
gives In favor of qualntness iif characteri
zation. A good deal of fairy loro and
much about Dovonshlro customs and su
perstitions nro Incorporated In the work.
It Is remindful, more than anything clso
In recent literature, of James Stephens'
"The Crock of Gold." Thero Is more of
Btory, but tho same curiously developed
atmosphere pervades. In stylo and other
wise tho new Trevenna book Js wholly
delightful. It is unlquo In a day devoted
to the novel of plot, adventuro, detective
astuteness nnd bexual trigonometry.
It la to bo Mispectcd that tho author of
"I Pose" (MacMlllan Company, New
York), who signs herself Stella Benson, Is
a verj: young person. Only a person of
that description would have had the cour
ago to produce so seriously Impudent, so
gravely gay u book with a Hardener ns
the hero and a Suffragette ns tho heroine.
It la a romance of two young people AVho
Did Not Care About Anything, or at lenst,
pretended not to. They nro sarcastic with
each other In England, on shipboard, and
In tho islands of tho Caribbean Sen until
the 310th page, when some feeling begins
to bo manifested In a shame-faced British
way. Thero is much clever characteriza
tion: for Instance thero is a clergymnn
who says, "Yerco, yerce"; and there are
many snappy and pert little epigrams.
An Individual of vacuous type Is tho
Hon. Sam Thornhlll. who figures ns the
heroof Cyril Harcourt's novelized comedy,
"A Pair of Silk Stockings" (Dodd, Mead
& Co., New Yoik). As a matter of fact,
there's nothing at all hcrolo about Sam,
unless It ho his attempt tn obtain nn ex
planatory Interview with the wife who di
vorced him because of his supposed "go
ings on" with another woman. Ho hides
himself In a closet of her bedroom, whence
ho is Ignominlously dragged by another
guest of the tine old English house In
which the action of the story Is staged.
Overpowered and then trussed up with a
portion of his ex-wlfe's most Intimate
lingerie, Sam finally escapes, but his ex
ploit unjustly Jnvolves that young lady
and an army captain who had made love
to her before her marriage. The "pair
of silk stockings," however, prove the
means not only of clearing the innocent,
but of reuniting the divorced couple.
There's plenty of fun In Mr. Harcourt's
tale, even if it Is not altogether' convincing.
Seek Relatives nf Dead Man
Tho police are looking todny for rela
tives of n man thought to bo Christian
Oehrlnger. 62 yenrs old, who fell dead
Inst night nt 4th nnd Culvert streets.
Gehrlnger was walking briskly down 4th

H. S. M. Tho correct pronunciation of
tho name of tho author of "Homo Sa

Anthony Comstock's successor has Just
taken fruitless action In the comts. Is
"Psheb-l-shcf-skl." All tho vowels nro

born In Indianapolis. His first name, which
lie has dropped In literary work, wns New
ton. Harpers- will soon publish n now
book from his pen, "Seventeen."

to put tho acce-. nn William Dean How

March 1, 1837. Ho will celebrate his 79th
birthday by the publication of tho first
Instalment of a now novel. "The Leather

Grace John Galsworthy Is nn English
man by birth. He visited America threo
or four yenrs ago, spending a good part
of his tlmo In tho South. Ills latest novel,
"Tho Freclnnds." a very fine piece of work,
Is typical of the mood In which he writes
most frequently nowadays. Scrlbners pub

The Victorious Attitude
By ORISON SWETT MARDEN, author of "Peace, Power
and Plenty," etc. 12 mo, 850 pages, net $1.00,
"The Victorious Attitude" is the initial chapter and the
keynote of this latest of inspirational books by Dr. Marden..
As usual, he delivers a series of stlraight-from-the-shoulder
thrusts, but he delivers them with a smile. Other sugges
tive chapter heads are: "According to Thy Faith," "Making
Dreams Come True," "Making Yourself a Prosperity Mag
net," "The Suggestion of .Inferiority," "The Triumph of
Health Ideals" and "How to Stay Young." There are six
teen chapters in all, treating the problems of success in a
most practical way. The author's well-known ability to
illustrate his points with apt quotations and striking anec
dotes is shown on every page.' Only the most case-hardened
pessimist would fail to derive benefit from a sunny, breezy
book such as this.
