"He Is a peo ple's man, of course, nnd his proposals will sound pretty terrible te n geed many of the old-school. Still, something of the Bert has te come." The butler brought in the pestbng while they talked. Segersen, as be rose te depart, glanced with curiosity nt half a dozen orange-colored wrappers which wcre among the rest of the let ters.

If fhe weather clears, I want te go in and see these cattle for myself." The young man took his reluctant departure. Jane crossed the halt, en tered her own little sanctum, drew the lamp te the edge of the table and sank into her easy-chair with a little sigh of relief. All the rest of her corre spondence she threw te ene side. The orange-colored wrappers she tore off, one by one. As she read, her face softened and her eyes grew very bright. The first cutting was a report of Tal lente's last speech ln the Heuse, a clever and forceful nttack upon the Government's policy of compromise in the matter of recent strikes. The next was n Bpcech at the Helburn Town 'Hall en workmen's dwellings, nnether a thoughtful appreciation of him from the pages of a grcnt review.

She snw the lighted thoroughfares, all crowded pavements, the faces of the men and women, all a little strained and eager, se different from the placid Immobility of the world in which she lived.

There was a pnuse In the storm and a great mass of black clouds had just Bern driven past the face of the watery moon. Even the wind seemed te be holding its breath, but se far as she could see, moors and the hillsides were wrapped in ene unending mantle of snow. There wns no visible sign of any human habitation, no sound from any of the birds or animals who were cower ing in their bhclter, net even n sheep bell or the barking of a deg te break the profound silence. She dropped the curtain and turned bnck te her chair. Her feet were leaden and her heart was heavy. The struggle of the day was at nn end. Memery wns asserting itself.

Mr. Norten has written a popular lAttttlMvnf nft ah l. fl....lll..if.... 4.. 11 -w w.iM.j uu .me vjuuniiiuiiuii, mil of Information about the history of Lite various sections and with brief synopses ei tne decisions of the Supreme Court upon their application. The plan of the book is te quote a clause or a sec tion and te fellow that with the ex planatory matter. Each section is dis cussed In order. Fer 'example, mere than a page is given te nn explanation of the significance of the opening words, "We the people of the United States." It takes mere thnn two pages te ex plain "Jn order te form a mere per fect union." And se It gees clear through the document te the Eighteenth Amendment, under which there Is n summary of the court decisions sustain ing it. The La Follctte criticism of the Con stitution, or perhaps it would be mere correct te say the Ln Fellettc criticism of the Supreme Court, is directed against the practice of the court in Invalidating an net of Cencremi nn h ground thnt it violates the Censtltu-l uen. j.,a renette Insists that the court usurps powers net conferred en it nnd that Congress is the supreme legisla tive authority. 2fe one who has carefulty read the Constitution tceuld fall into the blunder of asserting that it makes Congress legislatively supreme. THE powers of Congress are ex pressly limited. There is n long list of subjects en which It is empowered te legislate and there is another long list of subjects en which It is prohibited te legislate, and there ls nn express prevision that the powers net granted in the document Itself te Congress nre retained in the States ey ln the people. The second nhrn-rnnh in Artleln VT declares thnt "This Constitution, nnd the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof snail De the supreme law of the land." In another place the Judiciary is em. powered te exercise jurisdiction in all ceses arising under the Constitution or under the laws. There seems te be here sufficient warrant for the Rimr.me Court te declare Invalid nn act of Cen gress winch was net passed "in pur suance" of the Constitution. There is no doubt en thin nnint i- the mind of lawyers, but some college professors nnd some labor leaders and some demagogues have been Insisting that It is an outrage for nine men appointed by the President te nullify an act of Congress. They have argued that the courts In ether countries de net exercise this power and that there fore the United States courts should net exercise it. If they will read Mr. Norten's book they will find that there nre countries In which the mure. ,i exercise the same power. ITAcri? the courts de net nullify acts of Parliament there is either no tcritten Constitution limiting par liamentary authority or the parlia ment may by legislative act amend the Constitution te suit itself. THE American Constitution cannot be amended by cencreaslnnnl nf- Congress can submit nn amendment te the legislatures of the several Stntes and if enough of these States ratify it the amendment becomes part of the Constitution. Here Is nnether restric tion upon the legislative supremacy of Congress which Senater La Follette overlooks. , The trouble with most of the critics of our constitutional, system who wish te graft en te It some of the customs of ether countries is that they de net understand whnt that system Is. They have been talking ln Wnshlngten lately of passing n law te permit members of the Cabinet te sit in Congress as If they could in this way bring about an adoption of the British system of par- uiuieiiiiiry government mreugn a re sponsible ministry. They de net seem te have taken the trouble te learn that the British Prime Minister nnd the members of his Cabinet are members of Parliament, that the legislative and executive functions are net separated nnd that n Prime Minister ntfd his Cab inet held office at the pleasure of the parliamentary majority. The students of our Constitution, after reading Mr. Norten's admir able volume, could turn their atten tion teith profit te a study of the new German Constitution, THIS has been made available in its text with an admirable commentary by Ilene Brunet, professor of consti tutional law in the University bf Caen, a translation of which has been pub lished by Alfred A. Knopf under the title of "The New German Constitu tion." Charles A. Beard, formerly pro fessor of politics in Columbia Univer sity, and new director of the New Yerk Training- Scheel for Public Service, has written an introduction In the course of which he expresses gratification nt the discovery thnt the frnmers nf thu American Constitution "were made of mortal clay" and at the waning of "constitutional worship." He re marks, tee, thnt "It will net escape the close observer that the Ocrmans have net created a Supreme Court en the model of our own endowed with power te set aside acts of the executive and legislative branches of the Gov ernment." The Germans have net set up such a Supreme Court because they have provided that their constitution may be amended by legislative net. Thnt Is, lnRtPAft nt nriMittttw n l..latHl.... l.L limited powers they have created one with powers almost unlimited. The constitution itself was drafted nnd adopted by a legislature and was pro mulgated by It and the same legls'ature that adopted It passed a let of laws for cerrjlng out Its previsions. The Ger man theory Is that the elected repre sentatives of the people can de what they cheese with the constitution! As the new German state ls strongly cen tralized with power conferred en the national legislature te pass laws which shall supersede virtually all laws passed by the states, It wi'l be seen that there was no occasion for a court te decide whether n supreme legislative body had usurped powers net con ferred en It. Prof. Brunet's book Is an excellent nnd impartial study of what the Ger mans did in organizing their new form of government. It has that clarity and precision which nre characteristic of French scholarship, nnd there is no hint in it of any feeling of hostility te the Germans. He set out te elucidate the German scheme of government for the benefit of students, and he has succeeded. GEORGE W. DOUGLAS.

This much ls evident te the discerning ln his first novel, "The First Persen Singular" (Geerge II. Dornn Cempnny). ' The title itself ls meant te be n llternry criticism, as becomes evident toward the end of the novel, where ene of the writing characters is made te say, "The proper expression of character the first person singular," and this Is ex plained by nnether remnrk, "I want people net types." The experienced novelist gives his reader people nnd does net talk nbeut it. Hc assumes thnt thnt is what his novel Is for. Mr. Benct, It is true, hns created a number of Interesting characters in his novel, characters that seem te be real. Hc has a gift for plot and hns made n mystery story, net n story of crime, but n story of tragedy of the emotions and the complications growing out of it. The action begins ln New Yerk, then moves te the vlllngc of Tupton ln Penn sylvania, nnd after an interval in New New Yerk returns te Tupton, where the meledrnmatlc climax is reached with n solution of the mystery. Tupton Is evi dently a real town, disguised under the invented name. And some of the char acters are probably based en real peo ple, who might be recognized by the citizens of Tupton if they should ever be able te discover that Mr. Bcnet hnd their town in mind. Te Mr. Benet's credit It must be said that he has succeeded in writing a novel of thrilling interest without re course te the fillip of illicit sex rela tions which se many of the younger novelists seem te think indispensable. Fer this he deserves the thanks of all wholesome-minded readers. Everything In it could be read aloud tehe delight of a promiscuous company.

WH CHISTNUT BOOKS i i "BUY A BOOK A WEEK" While Christopher Merlev was writ ing for this newspaper he experimented with n burlesque form of free verse which hc called synthetic pqetry. As the thing he produced resembled some what the form of the translations from the Chinese which have lately been in vogue he began te call bin synthetic poems Chinese translations and he in vented a let of punning names for his Oriental poets. There was Mu Kew, for example, and ethers like it. He Iiiih just Issued through the Do De rnns n little volume of "Translations Frem the Chinese" (Geerge H. Deran Company), gotten up ln n Chinese looking cover of orange nnd ge'd paper with a black cloth back. He has writ ten a delightful introductory essay in the form of a letter te Legan I'carsall Smith ln which he tells the history of his new verse nnd lightly Intimates thnt he hns n subconscious self which seems te delight te express itself in this way. The poems nre of vnrled merit, some of them se trivial that it would have ndded te Mr. Merley's fnme if hc had emitted them. Others, however, are the expression of a penetrating widem or of a subtle irony or of a tender mid sympathetic emotion which brings the render up with a gasp as he perceives their impllcntlens. Seme of the first editions of Mr. Merley's earlier books are new selling at a premium. These who nre se fortunate as te get held of a copy of the first edition of this uninue volume would de well te held en te it, net In the hope of n profit, but for the satisfaction of possessing n book inter esting ln itself.

COLLECTED POEMS Amy Lewell In The Dial: A man of stark and sheer vision. If a contemporary dare te say that any living writer is sure te rank among the most important poets of his nation, I dare te say this of Mr. Robinson. Carl Van Deren In The Natien: His work contains hundreds of jines of the shrewdest worldly wisdom, of the most delicate insight into human character in its untertured modes, of rare beauty tangled in melodious language . . . Endowed with a subtle mind and a temperament of great integrity, he has . . . hammered his lovely images always out of the purest metal and in the chastest designs. William Rese Benet In The Literary Review: Robinson is te tat the Merlin of our modern poetry . . . which means the casting of an intellectual spell within the power of no ether American poet. His Collected Poems are a mine of first-hand experience greatly shared. William Lyen Phelps: Mr. Robinson . . . has wen fame net by discords, but by singing in tunc better than any one else. Hc is generally regarded today as "America's foremost living poet." Herbert S. German In The New Republic: The Collected Poems is an emphatic gesture at Time. It offers in its five hundred and ninety pages the best of American poetry, a wealth of unique and individual matter that will surely and slowly penetrate the con sciousness of the American poetry-reading public.
