Fnnr vntiimos nt Mr r-hSflVK hnVC been published since hit death in 1010. The latest, appearing under the title of ''The 1'orRottcn .Alan." contains several vy (.ays that deserve tho attention of seri ous thinkers nt this timo of industrial unrest. One is tho essay which Rives the title to tho volume. Others arc "Tho Philosophy of Strikes." "Strikes and Industrial Organization" and Trusts and Trade Unions." lie applies to strikes well-known nnd recognized economic principles, meas ures them by these principles and con demns them as worse than foolish. Here he discusses the question : Now the question Is raised whether there Is any remedy for the low wages of tho crowded occupations and the question answers itself. There Is no remedy except not to continue tho cause3 of the evil. To strike, that Is. to say that the workers will not work In their chosen line, jet they will not !ea-e It for some other line. Is simply suicide Neither can any amount of declamation nor even of lawmaking fores a man who owns a business to submit the control of it to a man who does not own it. In short, a striker Is a man who says: "I mean to get my living by doine this thins and no other as my share of the social effort, and I do not mean to do this thing except on such and such terms." Ho therefore proposes to make a contract with his fellowmen and to dictate the terms o it. Anv man who crtn do this must be in a very exceptional situa tion; he must have a monopoly of th service in question and It must be ono of which his fellowmen have creat need These are tho views of a man who was n defender of neither labor nor capitalism as Mich, but of a man seek ing to find out the genernl principles ih. nnniinntinn of which is necessary for the peace and prosperity of human. society.

If it had been made of sterner stnff Susie would have dared her mother's opposition ;,nnd married llcvans and then Mrs. Alice Duer Mil ler would have had no opportunity to tell how he inherited a conventional girls' school, and in a few short months turned it from a school in which girls were prepared for college into a school in which girls were prepared to ex ercise all their charms upon men In order that they might marry happily and successfully. Bevans asks a banker what every parent who sends n girl to n fashion able school really wants. "To get rid of her," the banker re plies with conviction. "Very true," snys Bevans, "but that's not all. It's no good to get rid of them for four or five ears and then have them back on their hands forever- Parents want them made into charming women marriageable women. Parents don't dare say this least of all to the teachers, of whom they are naturally afraid. They talk n lot of bunk about cultivation and womanliness, but what they 1 eally mean is attractive ness they want their daughters to be ,.i...i.,iit' nml hiivo beaux of course, they do. "Well, my scheme is to meet the parents nuiiway. j.o tuim.- boldly and say that thet object of my school is to teach charm." And then Mrs. Miller puts this young man, who, by the way, has consider able physical charm himself, into the school in contact with a lot of girls, and lets him discover that there are girls who are congenitnlly so charming that they need no h-aiuing in the arts of fascination. One of them falls des perately in love with him. Her boul is not un attractive mauve tritle. Jt is a blood red mountain of emotion. Bev ans cannot resist her, and just as he discovers that he had not inherited the school the whole thing was all a mis take he asks the girl to marry him. Of course, she consents. She had m- tended to marry him from the first mo ment she had been him. Tho book is a delightful satire on modern educational methods, as well ns on the conceit of the male human being, whether Mrs. Miller consciously in tended it to bo or not. There is an evening's pleasure in it for those who do not take life too bcriously. uu firiiiM SCHOOL. By Alice nuer Miller, New York; Harper & uros. That with the many books on Boose Telt already issued more should be added may raise doubt of their neces sity; only the fact that much of im portance remains to be said on a vital theme can justify them. William Kos coc Thajcr's "Intimate Bioginphy" tulfills this specification amply. Much is written and said at the mo ment concerning the memorializing of (olouel Itooseelt. This may be done in marble or bronze, but it seems to us that a book like Mr. Tha.er's is quite as line and splendid a memorial ns any man could desire. A foituunte comhi- nntlnn of circumstances has mane .mi. Thaj book Itoosevclt at Harvard forty ears ago and was on terms of friendship with him till tho day of his death. There fore, tho use of the, adjective "inti mate" in describing the biography is not presumptuous, nor is the descrlp tion, which his publishers apply to him. iti, lcnrlinff American biographer. In his brilliant biographies of Cavour and John Hay. .Mr. innjer, wnu n ".- be recalled was in his salad days a newspaper editorial writer here in Philadelphia, conclusively proved his right to be called "a" leading American h;..nrnniinr. if not "the" leading one. As in the case of the former books just mentioned, Mr. Thaer has been inspired liv the commanding figure of Roosevelt 'to writo a historical study, not onlv of the man himself, but of the events in which his personality was nn iiillueu -ing factor. There is none of the paste-pot and scissors-anecdotal stlc to his wilting. He evidently studies his subject from every conceivnble angle, assimilating the facts, discard ing the trivial or inconsequential, mar shaling and co-ordinatiug until the pic lure is complete from birth to death, and then writes a study or essa on the whole. This is not meant to indi cate that the subject is not heated consecutively, for it is. Nor' docs it mean that there are no enlivening in cidents of the lighter tvpe. On the contrary, the book is full of new ma terial, much of it never revealed, some of it levealed before, but hero ampli fied, and a great deal that is familiar reset with n new interpretation. Mr. Thayer apologizes in his preface for the eulocistie tono in manv nlnecs. but declares this is not deliberate and which Mr. Thayer assesses the charac ter of his protagonist. Hardly a page in the book is without some such pointed 'sentence. There are flashes of humor, touches of satire and innumerable wcll told stories about American persons und events duriqg the last forty jears. There are a multitude of nctors in this drama of a stieuuous life, but the action never lacs nor does the interest slacken. Mr. Thajcr quotes frcquentl) from Roosevelt's "Autobiogruph. ," and all the published books on Roosevelt, but the autl)oiit) for his conclusions Is made self-evident by the logic of his thought. Unquestionably, while thcio will he disagreement with some parts of the book, especially where they touch upon partisan ground, this oue-volume life is sure to live and take Its place Wlint Is life without rohiance? K Temple Thurston tries to answer this question iiu"The World of Wonderful Reality," the delightful Sequel to "The City of Beautiful Nousense." The lat ter book was romance, pure and un adulterated the talc of the love. affair between the daughter of a London bus! ness man and on imaginative man of letters who can weave fantastic talcs about the beauties of love and laugh ter. Mr. Thurston hesitated for years to write the sequel, and it wus not until it occurred to him to paint the other side of the shield that be yielded to the I impulse The first book leaves his lovers ' plighted to each other. The second tells I how when they came down from the , mount of their vision and confronted 'realltv their marriage became Impossi ' The hero in explaining to the girl , what life means at their nrft niceim ... London after their return from 'v enicc, i where they were left in the earlier book, savs: "Steal that man's sleep, set him to'work with his hnnds all night and his IkiIv will die of it. .Wei . minds die Without sleep, without cirram. . soul dies.

It would have I become insomnia of the soul." But the girl does marry like that nnd the poet dreamer seeks consolation with a girl, poor, Ike himself, who loves him above all things in the world The book ends without his knowing what is in store for him. but the reader is left in no doubt. That romance which means restful sleep with dreams w lighten his life, while the other girl will sufTer from insomnia of the soul lie cause she vielcls to mnieriiiii-i U.4U. Girls' Camps linv ramus have for a number Bummers been recognized as , portant adjunct of an un to the schools in jfro,.trHionlnff hoth nhs'sinuc and char acter. Quite a literature has grown up about the subject. Of course, all the potentialities for good that Inhere in boys' camrK are equally applicable to ramps for girls, but the, girls' canip Is of such comparatively recent testing that it has not become so general as boys' camps as n summer educational device and consequently there is a. dearth of books describing the proper procedures for camp management, dis cipline, recreation, etc. Anna vorth incton Coale has now filled this lack in her "Summer in the Girls' Camp," an informative handbook which supplies virtually every 'detail of wanted infor mation. How to choose a camp site, suggestions for .daily routine, how to prevent monotony, how to blend tho useful pleasure seeking, drill, exercise, recreation, life saviug, first aid and many other topics are interestingly treated. There are more than fifty illustrations from phonographs that arc decidedly helpful. SUMMIT IN THE qmi.9' CAMP. By An- Century Company. I1MS0. Drlnkwater In America John Drlnkwater, author of "Abin ham Lincoln," just published by Hough ton Mifflin Company and about to be played in New York after a long and hrijllaut career on the Loudon stage, hns just arrived in America, .ur. noints out that he and Itoosevclt were of different political faith, which, how ever, never lessened tlieir personal friendship. No fair-minded reader of the book will feel thnt he need apolo gize on this score, for the mistakes of Roosevelt are an clearly set forth as his successes. But the study of the inuti is so clearly knit nnd the insight into Roosevelt's character s penetrating that the reader Is made to view both the mistakes and the successes sjmpu thetically. Mr. Tluijer, in recent'ycars, has In dulged in some controversial writing on political, subjects and he hns not al ways avoided this style in the present book. Thete are places where he deals out tart phrases nnd sharp judgments upon living personages. Ills dislike of tho present national administration is plainly visible, and there are scornful, saicastic flings at idols still in the pub lie cje. Yet this does not spoil the flavor but bpices it. In his reasearches for "The Life of John Ilav" Mr. Thayer obtained n mass of information that must have been of great assistance in prepaiing this book. His familiarity with the "inside" of many momentous situations during the time Roosevelt was in Washington is made apparent. At times the writing is cplgrammati cal. Some of these sentences arc sine to stick in the mind and be quoted. For example, concerning Roosevelt's schol nrshjp ho says : "He had the all around quality which shows mine promise than does a propensity to light on n particular topic and suck it dry; but he had also power of concentration and thoroughness. He was a happy combination, of tho amateurish and the intense." 'Again, concerning Roose velt's early attempts at reform in the New York Assembly, Mr. Thayer savs: "Not tho altruistic desire to reform, but the perfectly practical resolve to c.njoy the political rights to which he had a claim, was his leading motive. It is important to understand this be cause it explains much of his action as a statesman." Again, pointing out that Roosevelt was more Interested in his effect upon millions for the mo ment than upon posterity. Mr. Thayer soys: "He was immusely concerned only in today's battle, for ho wasted no timo in speculating what tomorrow or next year or next century would say about it. Mysticism, the recurrent fad, which indicates that its victims neither see clear nor think straight, could not spread its veils over him. Tho man who visualizes is safe from that luiM lectual vveakuess and moral danger." On the propensity for picturcsquenefs which always kept Roosevelt in the pub lic eve, Mr. Thayer slueudly remarks: "The people begin to accustom itself to the fact that whatever position Roose velt filled was conspicuous precisely be cause ue niicu ir. ioioriery was lusen explained by the theory that he was constantly setting traps for self. adver tisement.''

Ho is la i give lectures- and, readings throughout, tho EaUb during (lie, next, few aionthi, ressions of Theodore Roosevelt" is a book which is likely to have permanent value, for it is the, work of a man who was inti matel associated with the former Pres ident for nun y years and had personal knowledge of matters which have not hitheito been explained in print. Mr. Abbott, us is well known, is one of the editors of the Outlook, with vvhich Roosevelt was associated for several years after his retirement fiom the White House. Probably the most Important part of the volume, in the view of the political historian, is tint in which the author tells the story of the preliminaries to ine campaign 01 jsu unci tne loioners edoits to get 11 candidate to run for the nomination against Mr. Tnft. There has been gossip about his support of I Hughes until Hughes declined to con sider tho nomination, but Mr. Abbott gives no countenance to this rumor. Instead he sujs that Roosevelt leaued tow aid LaFollctte until that gentleman disqualified himself by his Philadelphia speech before the Publishers' Associa tion. Then it beenme apparent that he must be a candidate. When he got to Chicago he was convinced that a ma jority of the delegates were for him. This was demonstrated when a group of men from the South sent a represen tative to him telling him that they would vote for his nomination if thej might be permitted to vote with the op position on the organization and the platform. There were enough of them to give him the nomination. lie re fused to accept their tupport on those terms. The rest is history. The volume is filled with interesting anil suggestive unecdotes which Illum inate the character of the man aud his methods of work. For example. Mr. Abbott tells how during his piesidency Roosevelt wrote a campaign document. IIpv summoned several members of his cabinet to the White House and in their presence dictated what he intended to say. Suggestions were made by oue man or nnother as the dictation pro ceeded. The suggestions were rejected. When the paper was finished the Presi dent asked the men to come to the White House that evening to go over it with him. Each man read it und made suggestions for changes. The Presi dent accepted many of the modifications interlining them in his copy. Then he had it rewritten by his typewriters pud the result was the expression of the combined wisdom of a group of capnble advisers. Many poems have been written about Roosevelt, but It has remained for Father Russell J." Wilbur, of St. Louis, to write a verso sequence to the gicat American. The poetic quality of the verse varies, but the admiration for the man is uniform. Here is a tjpical son net, called "Antithesis": S'lk-stocklnged mugwump, thou didst vote for Blaine ! When Harvard's famed Porcelllan Club had sent Theo bolst'rous forth to exercise thy bent For giving academic pa'n. Hlgh-souled reformer, thou didst pact with Piatt !

Sew all makes no literary pretensions. He has told his story In thb simple, straight forward language of nn intelligent American citizen. There is nothing now in his book, for the Colonel's ranching experiences have been pretty thoroughly described by him nnd by others. Such value as it has lies in the fact that It is a first-hand narrative by u man who went through the ranching experi ence with tho young man who was seek ing to pull himself together in com parative solltudo after the sudden death of his wife and mother. 1HEODORB ItOOSnvELT.
