If wo consider tho economic literature of
Eurone as well as that of America. One
might naturally Btippose that somethtnR
of the same kind would have been done
In Germany or In France, with the ex
perience which those countries havo hart
In facing- and dealing with the problems
discussed In this book. Not even tho
Webbs Irt England have presented a ays
temattc and thorough going survey of the
field and analysis of the methods em
ployed In that field. Tho volume there
fore stands alono as a comprehensive,
descriptive and analytic treatment of the
subject, a subject of growing Importance
and of Increasing familiarity, at least In
name, to the public at large.
It Is written with great clarity, with
no waste of words, and yet with a fulness
that takes It Into 60P pages. Dealing
with principles. It Is rich In citation nnd
Illumination, and In nil respects Is thor
oughly up to date. A chapter of espe
cial value Is that on administration.
American economic literature Is rapidly
advancing to a place of authority and
distinction, nnd to this literature tho prc-v.
ent volume Is a valuable and admlrablo
contribution.

BURTON KLINE
A new novelist on the literary
horizon with his "Struck By
Lightning." (John Lane Co.)
AJiout 10 years ago began the publica
tion In succession of a number of remark
able books dealing with conditions nnd
problems In municipal government We
are still at the beginning, botli of a great
critical llternture on this subject and of
a great Interest and activity In tho practi
cal solution, or nttempted solution, of the
problems discussed. A few writers In this
flold havo earned the distinction of social
engineers. They havo actually counted,
nnd counted largely. In tho movement
which had Its origin even ns long ago as
the publication of Uryce's American Com
monwealth, but which for real achieve
ment Is dated rIjico tho twentieth century
mark.
One of these writers Is William Bennett
Munro, professor of municipal govern
ment In Harvard University. Professor
Munro has Just published a volume on
"Principles and Methods of Municipal Ad
ministration" (Macmllian Company).
From city planning to municipal llnahce
ho covers his subject, and the vartoui sub
divisions of his subject. In a lucid, direct,
slmplo and candid manper, employing a
clear and dlgnllled diction as pleasing In
Itself as the scientific accuraay and bal
ance which characterize the work.
Prof. John W Burgess Is ono of tho
most eminent scholars In this country. Ho
enjoys Indeed an International reputation
ao an authority In his field. The publica
tion, therefore, of his book on "The Re
conciliation of Government With Liberty"
(Charles Scrlbner's Sons) Is an event
which Inevitably attracts attention among
students of political science nnd among
other readers Interested in public, questions
of moment.
The volume Is marked by tho same
scholarllneso that waa revealed In his pre
vious works, and In this particular de
serves equal praise The historical method
of treatment Is followed. Tho chapter on
Germanla Interprets Tacitus In an entirely
novel and very Interesting way, and for
that chapter alone the book would havo
bcn worthy of note.
The most Interesting feature, however.
Is the pessimism, or at least disappoint
ment, with which tho author vlows recent
ovents and developments In America. The
Initiative, referendum and recall, the year
jiz, tnese ana similar Instances of po
litical retrogression, nil his soul with
oorrow. Government, In his opinion, Is
encroaching overmuch on the sphere of
Individual liberty as defined in the State
and national constitutions and defended
by the courts.
Professor Burgess presents a sympa
thetic exposition of the reasoned conserva
tlve Idea In regard to governmental re
lations. He does so able, admirably. The
only objection Is that the author seems
not to recognize tho fact that the mean
ing of some of his term3 changes with
historical. Industrial, economic changes.
"Property," "liberty," "equality" theso
are not Immutable terms except to the
Medes and the Persians.
To turn to another view of the ques
tion, Oregon has been for some time a
sort of laboratory, or experiment station. In
legislation and government. In 'The
Operation of the Initiative, Referendum
and Recall In Oregon" (Macmllian Com
pany) wo find an Intensive study of the
experience of the State under the system
designated by the title. The book goes
Into details historically and descriptively
and references to original material are
numerous. The 12 appendices. Including
sample ballots, petitions nnd so on. form

Margaret Deland Is leaving Boston
William DeWItt Hyde has produced
what ought to be an epoch-marking book
In "Tho Gospel of Good Will" (the Mac
mllian Company, New York) He hns set
out to call attention to the fact that Chris
tianity It more than tho observance of
times nnd seasons, that It rests on some
thing deeper than a record In a book nnd
that Its authority Is based on something
fundamental In the constitution of tho
mornl universe.
Ho finds men living the Gospel uho
make no profession of religion nnd de
clares that "whoever lives In Good Will
thereby becomes a son or daughtor of
God, a brother or sister of Christ, n dis
ciple and friend of the Spirit"
The book Is In the form of eight lec
tures or sermons, the text of each of which
Is taken from contemporary literature
He hns pursued this course because he
wishes to show that the very spirit of re
ligion Is finding expression In secular
dooks nnd mat lis law of life Is admitted
and preached by laymen with greater
force than by the ecclesiastics No per
son who Is seriously interested In the mod
ern religious developments can afford t
let the book pass without rending It
In 191G Mr. Charles Lewis Slattcry, tho
rector of Ornce Church, Xew York, gave
the Raymond F. Went Memorial lectures
on "Immortality." "Human Conduct" nnd
"Hu: an Destiny," at Lcland Stanford, Jr.,
University These three lectures havo been
published (Houghton, Mimin Company,
Boston nnd New York) under tho title,
"Tho Gift of Immortality "
Mr. Slattery discusses the effect that a
belief In Immortality has on tho Individual,
on the world and on God In tho light of
Immortality the Individual gains self-control,
courage In adversity, dotachmont
from the matorlal things of life, and n vo
cation big enough for eternity. In larger
relationships such as those of the family,
the nation or the world, this belief Involves
discriminating sacrifice, devotion to the
search for truth, a hope and a love In
clusive of nil humanity. By rofuting tho
provnlent doubts and complaints against
tho order of the universe, Mr Slattery
seeks to provo that God Is meeting the
responsibility that our acceptance of 1m-
mortnllty lays upon Him Our limitations
lead us to make the most of tho present,
preparing for deeper revelation ; tho lavish
wasto of nature is purposeful; the fnlturo
of God to Interfere with nature's lawB de
velops man's freedom; nnd, finally, the
cxlstonce of inevitable evil brings forth
heroic qualities In human kind. From these
considerations It follows that wo have rea
son to rejoice In the surety of God
Mr. Slattcry's stylo Is pleasant and con
vincing. He Is especially apt at using Il
lustrations, and Is altogether the kind of a
preacher that holds the Interest of his
audience from first to last.

of his book lies In the fact that It tells of
people rather than of places. There .are
numerous amusing anecdotes woven Into
the story of a summer's pilgrimage, and
there are also other entertaining features.
Including a chapter devoted to epitaphs,

Immediately set out to make a dear friend

by tho rich woman's treatment of the serv
