The Next Step in Democracy, by R.
W. Sellars, Ph. D. (MacMillan Com
pany, N. Y., $1.60.)
A discussion of the ever-present
theory of government that we call so
cialism is scarcely profitable without
a working knowledge of" what consti
tutes socialism and what its aims and
hopes are. This very necessary infor
mation. essential to a fair-minded crit
icism. is here given in a broad, com
prehensive way by the assistant profes
sor of philosophy at the University of
Michigan. Many will absolutely dis
agree with the opinions advanced and
the deductions reached, but the treat
ment given is extremely Interesting in
his development of the subject.
The author describes socialism as "a
democratic movement whose purpose
is the securing of an economic organi
zation of society which will give the
maximum possible at any one time
of justice and liberty." He is here de
scribing the ideal condition, but un
fortunately he minimizes the powerful
force of human nature pulling the
other way. He develops the idea of
socialism from the Utopists, who be
lieved in the natural goodness of all
humans and in an artificial environ
ment; through the Marxian school,
which was more practical and brought
the socialists' belief into direct com
munication with an adaptation to the
working classes connected with large
industries —the realistic stage in other
words; finally to the present stage,
when agitators and educators are both
necessary to the spread of the social
istic propaganda.
The Red Debt, Echoes from Ken
tucky. by Everett Mac Donald. (G. W.
Dillingham Co., $1.25.)
This is an absorbing story of the
McGills vs. the Lutts, one of the fam
ous old Kentucky feuds. Moonshiners
and revenue men, law-haters and
ruthless slayers keep the action at a
high pitch of excitement. These
rough giants of the hills, with their
own honest but misled conviction of
right and wrong, are an interesting
lot.
The plot deals with the history of
the young Lutts who are determined
to avenge their father's death at the
hands of the revenue man. Little
Belle-Ann Benson, the adopted daugh
ter of "Paw" Lutts, registers a vow
that the man who shall kiss her lips
must first kill the "revenuer." She
loves Lem Lutts and he reciprocates.
However, she goes away to school and
receives a new vision of her duty,
which after a powerful struggle Is also
revealed to Lem. The ending is a
happy one, but the suspense entirely
satisfactory. The power of visualiza
tion in the author's work is exception
ally good.
The Gate of Asia, by William War
fleld. (G. P. Putnam's Sons, $2.60.)
The author takes his readers on a geo
graphical Journey from the Persian
Gulf to the Black Sea, recounting in
an interesting fashion his own trip
through the region including Mesopo
tamia, Kurdistan, Armenia, and the
Persian province of Azerbaijan, that
connecting link between the character
istically European nationalities and
the equally characteristic Asiatic races.
All invading armies, all trade routes
from the west that have gone east or
vice versa, have passed through this
country and the author's route cross
ed that of the great Cyrus, of Persia.
Nadir Shah, Xenophon, Alexander the
Great, the Emperor Julian, and other
conquerors.
It is a valuable work for those who
are concerned with a study of that
particular region, an adequate and
ample view of the commercial relig
ious. civil and martial life and cus
toms of these peoples who live in the
pathway that connects two great con
j tlnents.

Everyone experiences a thrill ot

I Picture* at Majestic perhaps you may
be fortunate
enough to see yourself on the Majestic's
screen, where the Patriot-Wilmer-Vin

Boys are being shown the last half of
this week, if you stood in line with the
thousands of others to witness the
wonderful parade last Saturday. Even
should you fail to see yourself, you can,
at least, pick out some of your friends
here and there in that huge gathering.
The pictures show the boys preparing
for war, executing maneuvers, being
mustered into service and bidding fare
well to relatives and friends. The
regular Ave acts of vaudeville, headed
by the dramatic sketch entitled. "Mead
owbrook Lane." are being given along
with these pictures.

"The Moment Before." The plav will
be shown for the last time to-day at

Miss Frederick is seen first as the
elderly Duchess Maiden, who, in a mo
ment before her death, has her stormy
past revealed to her. As the gypsy,
Madge, she is seen at her best, and her
acting takes on additional emotional
power with the various sensational in
cidents in her career before she became
the wife of Lord Maiden.
To-morrow, for the benefit of those
unable to see the first episode of

Expression in Singing, by H. S. Kirk
land. (Badger, SI.OO net.)
This volume of 160 pages is a trea
tise on the "art" o fsinging, a work
systematically planned, clearly and
, concisely expressed. The work ha<s a
j double mission; for the author ad
dresses those "who wish to use intel
| ligently the means of expression which
; nature has given them" and the lay
i men who would listen more intelli
gently to music, especially song. The
writer, who is intimately acquainted
with the author and in fact studied
1 under him, knows with what fervor
he has applied himself to the work
of giving society at large a means to
appreciate ths real art of vocal en
deavor; a means not iconoclastic, but
which goes deep into the realms of ar
tistic endeavor, without which, true
I expression in any art is a thing Impos
sible. Mr. Kirkland's book might be
condemned, into one thought; "good
, singing Is not a quality of the song—
the music—it Is of the singer." The
i writer recalls the author's statement
"that to be a perfect singer, one shall
be able to sing in a hall so large that
the last row cannot fully understand
! the words of the song, that the singer
shall sing in a tongue foreign to his
I listeners, yet make his audience, by
! his "expression," laugh or weep with
; him. This then, is the end to which
the author is working In his volume;
perfect expression, based not upon
tonal beauty, placement of voice or
method alone, but by feelings of emo
tion and passion, by real expression
through genuinely "living" the text
and concept of the words.
SIXTEEN THOUSAND YARDS OF
MARK TWAIN
j Mark Twain's popularity is in no
danger of diminishing, to judge by an
order just given by his publishers,
Harper & Brothers, for sixteen thou
sand yards of cloth to be used in bind
ing his books. If Mark Twain were
still alive and this cloth were stretched
out along the New York pavement, we
! might see the familiar white-clad fig
ure walking over this green carpet for-
Jty Inches wide all the way from City
| Hall northward to One Hundred and
Fifty-fifth street.
I Bonnie May, the little heroine of
Louis Dodge's serial in Scrlbner's. has
I contributed a lot of wise sayings on
the conduct of life. Here's some good
overy-day advice on being pleasant:
| "You ought to laugh sometimes when
I you're not really amused. And you
j can make people take a sensible view
of things sometimes just by laughing
at them. But, of course, you have to
1 know how to do it right. If you
bray at them, or giggle, they'll be in-
I suited, naturally."
I is the feature for to-day and to-mor
row. Ten per cent, of the receipts of
to-day and to-morrow will be turned
over to the Telegraph's fund for the
support of saldiers' families. Admis
sion for to-day and to-morrow will be
fifteen cents for the first floor and ten
cents for the balcony.
Gordon and Day are presenting a
comedy act at the park theater that is
in a class by itself. Some
! The Show might term it a bicycle
at Paxtang stunt. although the
wheels are but a sec
| ondary cohsideration. So is the gro
tesque antics of the tramp comedian,
! Mr. Gordon, that puts this act in the
headline class. Evlyn May and com
i pany are offering one of those delight
ful little comedy sketches, entitled
| "Much At Home." A surprise finish
, makes Miss May's act a decided nov
! elty among the various one-act plays on
the vaudeville stage. Three other acts
of standard caliber complete a most
pleasing performance. Arrangements
have been completed for a grand free
fireworks display at the park to-mor
row evening. In order to give the
park fireworks program plenty of va
riety, Manager Davis has ordered
; changes made in set-pieces and aerial
stuff at each exhibition.
To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition All Summer
It would be much better for the skin
if little cream, powder or rouge were
J used during the heated term. Mixed
I with perspiration, dust and grime, these
things are anything but beautifying,
j Ordinary mercolized wax will do more
i for the complexion, and without giving
i an oily, streaked, spotted or pasty ap-
I pearance. It is the ideal application
for the season, as it not only keeps the
pores clean, but daily removes particles
of scarf skin which have been soiled by
dirt or weather. By constantly keep
ing the complexion clear, white, satiny,
it does more toward perpetuating a
youthful countenance than any of the
arts or artifices commonly employed.
One ounce of mercolized wax, obtain
able at any drug store, will completely
I renovate the worst complexion. It is
applied at night like cold cream and
j washed off in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
, wrinkling, or to overcome such condi
tion, there's nothing better than a face
bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow
dered saxolite in '/4 pint witch hazel.
