the best of It until the decision of the
Bunreme Court thnt the law under
Which he had won his victories was In
Ttlid. That decision, rendered n fortnight
ago, wiped out a solid Thompson county
committee In Cook county. In which Chi

to a state committee in which Thomp

from the Mends of the Thompson can

governor and other stnte ofllees. hnd nn
easy majority. It opro.sh restored the
functions of the pnrty committees
chosen under the old Inws ()f HUO which
the primnry Inw of 10111. just knocked
out bv the court, hnd supoiKcdcd. In
the old stntp committee the friends of
Governor Low den had a maiority of at

And It also restored a Cook county

Tlio palling of the old stnte committee
appears to be in their discretion.
Changes come rapidly in Illinois poli
tics. A month ngo Congressman Smith
was Governor Low den's enmpnign innn
ager In ohnrge of his forces nt Chicago.
When Governor Iiwdeu failed to get the
Republican nomiilntlon for the picsl
deney, Congressman Smith unit him
and entered Into n nuibinntfnn with
Mayor Thompson. Smith wanted to run
for Gmenior of Illinois to smceed Gov-
ernor London, but tlio Thompson-Lun-
. din crowd in Chicago refused to support
ilm for that office They probably
wanted at Springfield, when lontrnctx
for watorwajs and hlghwns are to be
awarded, a man more subset lent to
them than Smith would be. Still, to
control the .state and elect their gov

MERCHANT MARINE
Former Shipping Board Chair'
man Writes of Opportu
nities The second x-olump of thp valuable
"Century Forpign Trndp Series" Is con
tributed by Edward N. Hurley, who,
during the war, was chairman of the
Fnlteel Stntes Shipping Honrd nnd pres
Ident of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion. It is entitled "The New Mer
ehant Marino," nnd treats the subleet
with eomprohonslviness and authorlta
tlveness out of the wide experience of
the author.
Mr. Hurlc)'s hook stresses the im
portnnoo of the merchant marine nnd
sets forth the arguments In Its hehnlf.
Mr. Hurlev sa)s in his foreword: "It
has recently boon m) good fortune to
serve my countr) In n capncltv that
brought mo into close contort with the
forces thnt nre .plnnnltig nnd developing
the world trnde nnd shipping conditions
of the immediate future. My observa
tions nnd ttu studies hnve mnde some
profound impressions upon my mind.
In consequence of those Impressions. I
am devoting this book to an effort to lu
ll ore all who read it to shake off the
shaekles of our Introspective past and to
think nf American commerce and Amor
lean prosperity in terms of Americnn
ships. There nre only two kinds of dv
iliration: that nf (sai ) England nn tlie
one hnnd unci that of Afghanistan nnd
Thibet on the other. The difference be
tween them is ships."

In forming the rareem of many writer
now prominent, Iibk turned to full
length fiction hernelf nnd, in "Storms
of Youth," produced a notable novel
of young romance nnd old politics. The
storms thnt play about the bads of thp
group of young people who nre thp
iieurps in her Mory are not always the
I April howern of youth, but xometlmcs
the heavy and hnrd tempentN that heat
upon life's springtide. Chnracterlca-
tlnn has always been one of the ex
nuislte gifts of Miss Hoseboro' and, In
her distinctions and differentiations in
this group, subtly and finely limned, ns
well as in the sketchier but firm nnd
true personations of other folk lu the
background, she has achieved n genuine
triumph. Her scenic sotting is nlso
ory good. Itenlism Is the domlnntlng
note, but there Is nbumlnnce of high
romance In the development of the plot.
