Daniels Extols
Wilson Beyond
All Other Men
Former Secretary of Navy Be
stows Lavish Praise on His
Former Chief.
•THE LIFE OF WOODROW WILSON."
by Joseph us Daniels; the John C.
Winston company. Philadelphia and
t’hicaRo, publishers.
The late secretary of the navy set
himself a most agreeable task when
he undertook his biography of his
dead chieftain. "I will seek to show
what his life meant to his country
and the world, and how he always
played for the verdict of history,” is
Mr. Daniels' own declaration of in
tention. "Whether he has realised this
nr whether he has shot quite beyond
the mark will not be determined by
this generation. It remains for read
ers unborn to say if Woodrow Wll
eon deserves all the praise so lavish
ly bestowed upon him by his former
cabinet officer. "No man is a hero
to his valet.” but Mr. Daniels was
not Mr. Wilson's valet—he was his
devoted follower, and, one might
judge from his pages, ardent wor
shiper.
Some other writers, equally" astute
and on terms of intimacy with the
president quite as close as those be
i ween Wilson and Daniels, have not
been so unrestrained in writing of the
late president. Nor, If the experience
of some of Mr. Wilson's other cab
inet officers may be accepted as a
criterion, are we justified in conclud
ing that the president always made
close confidantes of the men he se
lected to curry out his orders. When
we think of Bryan, Lansing, Garri
son and some others, a retort made
by Colonel McClure to the late John
Hay comes to mind. "The president,"
said McClure, referring to Abraham
Lincoln, "had some secrets that even
his private secretary did not know.”
Making allowance for a pardonable
Hfets, the reader will find Mr. Daniels j
has interestingly narrated the story
of Woodrow Wilson's life from the
cradle to the grave, together with
some valuable information as to his
descent. The gravest fault is the in
sistence on discovering predestination
in ex post facto Analysis of events.
Kvon this might be pardoned as as
cribabie to the fond admiration of
the author for his subject, were it
not for the solemnity with which he
persists in pointing out how each
rtep or movement taken by Woodrow
Wilson presaged his ultimate emi
nence.
The little humjin touches with
which the book abounds, incidents of
the various stages of lile through ’
which the great man passed, give the
\ oiume light and color and enhance
its real interest. If Mr. Daniels had
contented himself with writing of a
great man, and not of a demigod, his
work would have been more worthy
the effort he has put upon it. As it
is it deserves and doubtless will re
ceive attention from the millions who
share with the author his estimation
of Woodrow Wilson.

on Friday the achievements of his
talented nephew.
"North and West” Praised.
The New York uncle was present
last February when Hannon conducted
the New York Symphony orchestra in
the rendition of his own symbolic
poem, "North and West." On that
occasion Walter Damrosch, conductor
of the orchestra, bestowed unstinted
praise on the young Nebraska com
poser. Damrosch referred to "North
and Weat" as one of the finest Amarl
can compositions and as being truly
a notable contribution to the music
of this country.
The animal laseda festival Is recog
nized In Europe as one of the great
musical events of the year. Hanson
will conduct an orchestra of 250 play
ers selected from London Symphony
orchestra and the Albert Royal or
chestra of London during the rendi
tion of his own choral number. There
will be a chorus of 1,000 voices.
European musicians consider It a
great honor to compose a number
for the I^eeds festival.
Symphony This Fall.
A Nordic symphony composed by
Hanson, and running about one hour,
will be rendered this fall by the
New York Philharmonic orchestra, led
by Mergelberg, who will direct an
other orchestra this summer In Am
sterdam, Holland, where the same
composition will be played. Another
composition by Hanson Is a string
quartet number to be played at the
Bersklre festival during the coming
summer.

"Light From the East”
Needed by Men Today
"KX ORIENTK LUX’’ (Uftht from the
Kant*’), by Alfred H. Henry: the Strat
ford company, Boston, publishers.
Scottish Rite Masons of the thirty
second degree will find in this work
much to interest them, as well as
much that is familiar to them. In
the main it consists of a series of lec
tures, prepared, as the author frank
ly admits, to lead up to the ante
room. of Jtosicmiclanlsm. These deal
with fundamental concepts, which
the author insists must be mastered
if man is to truly know himself. Mr.
French believes "the awakening of
thought la of more importance than
the blind following of any prescribed
plan, and euch awakening is neces
sary if catastrophe In human affairs
is to he averted." The object is to’
rouse men to think. Students will
find a great deal of interest in the
book.

Problems of tbe Worker and

"REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IN
INDUSTRY.” by J*m*j Meyers; »n*
Georg* H. Doren company, New York,
publishers.
James Mjfrs is executive secretary
of the board of operatives of the
Dutchess Rleachery, Inc., at Wap
ptnger Falla. N. Y. From this van
tage point he has observed the oper
attons of plan that permits employes
to sit In Judgment on their own case,
to be represented In the management
of the business, not only In matters
affecting employment In all Its ram
ifications, but also In Its relation with
the commercial world. For the
Dutchess Bleachery, Inc., is one of
only flye Institutions in the United
States that have made places for em
ployes on the boards of directors.
Mr. Myers presents his case fairly,
supporting his conclusions with proof
drawn from his experience or his ob
servation of the methods that are in
vogue In establishments other than
the one where he 1* employed. With
out debating the merits of open shop
or closed shop, he shows how a num
ber of serious mistakes might be
avoided by the employers who seek to
minimize labor troubles, yet fall to
give consideration to the workman's
side of the case. The author Is thor
oughly sold on the Idea of Industrial
democracy, and thinks it. offers a so
lution for religious and political prob
lems that now are seemingly hard to
reach. The book is well worth study
ing by any who la interested In In

Compare the
qualifications of
iiour druggist with
any other merchant
The only qualifications necessary for the grocer, the hard
ware dealer, the butcher or other similar merchants is a
willingness to serve. There are no restrictions as to education,
experience or character.
• --
Compare these qualifications with those of your REGIS
TERED BY LAW DRUGGIS'f. He is required by law to
be a graduate of an accredited School of Pharmacy; to pass a sat
isfactory examination before the State Board of Pharmacy before
he is allowed to practice; and he is held responsible BY LAW for even- pre- ^
scription dispensed from his store.
And because he is required to attain and maintain a
higher and more exacting standard of service he natur
ally selects his merchandise—toilet goods, candies, rubber goods,
perfumes, stationery and drug accessories with the greatest pos

you thoughtlessly give to other stores that rightfully belong to him.
