X I ine i.v'm tA EVENING PUBLIC PAUL ELMER MORE'S Iii a New Volume of Shelburna Essays, the Former Editor of Tlie Nation Pays His Rcsjecls to Some New England Worthies and Untvorthies Wy FELIX E. t'rnfr.Mir nf English Literature ANOTHBIt volume of "Shciburno Kjsn.ru" fa nlwnys welcome and a matter of moment to renders who enrc for the hotter things in literature and for fresh nnd snno views ou the ten dencies of current thought. For Mr. Paul Klmer More is not only nn inde pendent Kttidont of the past, he is like wise nn original thinker ns to things of the present i and it is the combina tion of tlieso two (lualitlcs which has given him his popularity nllko as the bometimo editor of what was once the best of our moro intelligent weeklies and ns nn essnylst whose essays, in the present volume renchlng tho eleventh series, have become one of the stand ard exhibits of the solidity and health nf American criticism. As with t the former volumes, the rssnrs contained In this have been vwiously contributed , to magazines or delivered in lectures, at that on "Tim Spirit and Poetry of F.arly .New Kngland," which waH one of the Turnhull lectures nt Johns Hop kins University. The stibtancn of the essays on Jonathan Edwards and Emerson wan contributed, we nre in formed, to "The Cambridge History ot American Literature." None the less It Is good to have fugitive writings and utterances such ns these collected and revised in a form which hnS Uils final snuction of their author. mo DEMAND continuity in a volume -L of collected csays would be ns an surd ns a like demand of the variety ot conversation. Indeed, the et-say is after all only glorified monologue and an dependent as the monologue on the personality of the man who talks, air. More hits a happy mean between the famllinr essay, for success In which one must be born fnsclunting, and the formal essay, in which ministration at the high nltars of criticism demands the fmrordotnl trappings of the oracle. Whnt is far more Important than any manner is the matter and the angle from which things are observed, air. More has much to bring us, and he brings it always adequately, often de lightfully. A! S TO the glorification ot New Kng- lnml ulilvh hna cone on now steadily flinco the Mayflower first an- r-hnrerl In Rteht of that "rocK-rlbbecl shore." a cynic once remarked that It was Justified by the necessity, lhe pcncciions ot : lvhk'""", , ." , the climate must always be considered and reprobated, arc ttrcsomo in their reiteration ; the more so that all these praises nre so undoubtedly based on "rock -ribbed" facts. One who is not a New Knglnndcr, except by summer occupation, sometimes wonders whether those really to tho manner horn pro test so much. Put these remarks are irrelevant to the clear-sighted discus sions of this part ot Mr. aiorc s book. However, while it may be just to con sider the "poetry" of Mistress Ann llrndstrcet or 1'rlan Onkcs with the nllowanco thnt it came out of nn un poetie slock, transplanted into nn austere climate in which only the stern . nf i.a virtues theoloiricallv watered ni,i flnnrisli.' still, after all. is this Irln.i nt rnrsltleil meditation and moral l7.lng renlly poetry nt all. and not rather tho kind of thing whieh marks noetienl negation? I believe thnt Thorenu somen here indulges In an ap preciation of the beauties of the music ot nn accordion. This pnssnge is tiot n proof thnt Thorenu's Puritan nature wns softened by the concord of sweet sounds. It merely shows thnt, true to his stock, there was no real music In him.

LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA", SATURDAY, CAPABLE CRITICISM SCHELLltfG n the Unlrertltr of rennsrlrnnlft Uradstrcct to Sir John was the late Prof. Wendell's, not Mr. Jloro's. OF THE New England essays I like best that on .Jonathan Edwards. Mr. More is nt his best In that difficult region in which philosophy abuts upon religion, and a elenrcr. a more Justly sympathetic estimate of Edwards, who dwelt verily at the heart of Puritans, might bo sought for elsewhere in vain. There arc some keen bits of insight, too, on the much overwritten topic, Emer son. What could be simpler, for exam nle. than "Emersonianism mar be de fined as romanticism rooted In Puritan divinity?" or tho thrust: "It is sig nificant of this confidence, in individual Inspiration that generally In Emerson, as In other poets, it tends to looseness and formless: spontaneity of style"? It is a genuine contribution, too, to our understanding of tho t'uritan spirit to have pointed out to us the parallel be tween Iidwnrds in his "revolt against the practice of the communion ns a mere act of acquiescence In the author ity of religion and Emerson's similar and equally logical revolt based in a disavowal of any conformity in faith and a demand in its stead of "the en tire liberty of each soul to rise on its own spiritual impulses." A MOXG the essays dealing with later times, of Henry Adams possibly, we have had enough and more than enough. Mr. More ia very entertaining on that entertaining tonic and even more so In "Samuel Butler, of Erewhon," whose enigmatic personality emerges under tho essayist's hsnd in a way qulto smiting. Uutler is ot course a season ing, not a food, but a condiment a taste for which is to be acquired. Mr. Moro helps in the acquisition and pro vokes in the reader of "Erewhon" and "Tho Way of All Flesh" which is a detestable story, by the way a desire to read further. TN "EVOLUTION 1 OTHER WORLD." AND THE "Economic Ideals" nnd "Oxford. Women nnd God," the essayist touches some of the most imjiortant of our contemporary issues. The first of these declares very definitely against whnt is nlmost nn obsession of our time, the application of the theory of evolution, usually ns misuuderstood. to things to which it is utterly inapplicable ; although the essay very justly concludes with tho remark : "Jt is not n new thing that a sound in tuition should be supported by nn un tenable theory." In the Inst of these it is nsked why the admission of women to Oxford's cloistered society nnd the banishment, of God should have syn chronized. Ilut Mr. More is too wise a man to hazard an answer. Lastly, in "Economic Ideals" we have set. forth our mania for combinations further to enhance mechanical mastery over nature nnd the contrasted mania for combina tions to protect man as an individual from man as a machine. Most per tinently docs the author ask if both are not leferabln to that terrible uncer tainty that haunts us day and night and if we have gained much In the substitu tion of this fear of our fellow man for the old-fashioned ffnr of God. These are great topics even to name in one paragraph. Ilut be it remembered that a review Is no real short cut, hut only a guide post, pointing, let us hope, in the right direction.

W(U norillB NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE WEEK A French View of the Treaty "Tim Truth About the Treaty" (the Bobbs-Mcrrlll Co.), by Andre Tardieu, is an attempt by one nf the French pence negotiators to justify the work of the commission to tho French people. Tho American translation has rf foreword by Colonel House, in which the qualifications of Mr. Tardieu to write tho book are set forth. Clemen ceau liss written an introduction de voted to nn arraignment of Hie critics of the treaty nnd to somo severe con demnation of the men who have thtis far failed to put its provisions Into cf- icci. The book, however, should be of great Interest on this side of the ocean for Its careful resume of what was done and of the reasons for the conclusions. Tho accuracy of some of the statements has been questioned, especially Mr. Tor dieu's announcement thnt Mr. Wilson agreed to the proposition thnt the war ileum of the Allies to tho united states should be canceled. There will be spe cial interest at the present moment on the chapter entitled "What Germany Must Pay." The author goes into nn exhaustive discussion of the varl6us the ories of reparation considered by the conference. He points out the defects of ttiosn that wcro rejected and he de fends the provision of the treaty that lecognizcs the inability or, utrmnny to make complete reparation for all the loss and damage caused by' tho war and yet requires German? to "make com pensation for all tho damage done to the civilian population of the nllled nnd as sociated powers and to their property." The French wcro insistent that repara tion for damage done to the civilian population should take precedence over payment of nny Bums toward the war cost for the reason that Franco would get a much larger proportion of a reparation fund thnn of a war indem nity fund. Tho author makes it clear that tho only point open to discussion at tlie present tuuo is now mucn ucr uiany is able to pay tinder the treaty. Our Economic Supremacy Another Frcuchman, A. Dcmnngeon, professor of geography nt the Sorbonne. has discussed another phase of tbo World War In "America and the Race for World Dominion" (Doubleday, Page & Co.). in which he has set forth tho economic decline of Europe because of its exhaustion by tho wnr and the great resources of the United States nnd its undiminished man power. It is a care ful study of world coaditions, which Professor Dcmnngeon is convinced indi cate that tho economic center has shifted across tho ocean. His point of view is indicated by the fact that his book wns published in France under tbc title of "Lc Dcclin de PEuropc." It is a book for tho student of world trade and for the student of the great movements which affect the course of history. Governor Allen Exults The Industrial Relations Court ot Kansas is tho pet baby of Governor Henry J. Allen. And, indeed, he bus reason to be proud of It and its achieve ments. In "The Party of the Third Part" (Harper & Brothers) tie has at tempted to tell the story of what it has done in the year that It has been in operation. A reador with patience and discrimination can learn a great denl about the workings of the court, but lie has to wade through a lot of irrelevant matter to get the information. The book is poorly arranged. It is more like n series of stump speeches thnn a care ful nnd illuminating exposition nf Hie I workings of a most important experi- i incut In bringing about industrial pence. The governor seems more interested in I tho politics nf the controversy over the court lhan in tho court itself. His first I chapter is devoted to a Btory of the first political campaign following its etob- lishincnt. He is gratified that every ' member of tho Legislature who voted ' against the establishment of the court wns defeated and that he, in spite of Hie bitter attack by the Democrats, the Socialists and the Nonpartinn Lengue. i carried nearly every county in the state as n enndidnto for re-election. Tills Is Important, of courfo, because it indi cates thnt the people of Kansas beliere in industrial pence. Until n better bon, on the subject is written this one unl' have to serve the needs of those ho Mish to know what has been done in Kansas.
