This is the biography of a newspaper, the Evening Post, which, more than a hundred twenty vears ago, was founded by Alexander Hamilton. It is, in effect, also, a summary of the general course of American journalism for the past century and more. The Post was born | out of the defeat of the federalists by the democrats and the rise of Jefferson to the presidency. Its purpose was to vrovide a party organ to fight these vic- torlous democrats who were sweeping vervthing before them and to restore the prestige of the federalists, as well ar, in small part, to protect Hamilton himself against the attacks of factions within' his own party. From such a poiftical beginning the Post continued upon an active political career. To this It added great interest and equal in- uence in the concerns of the city, now Bierce, Ambrose. E-B4TS.

ID LUBIN: A Study in Practical | Tdealism. By Olivia Rossetti Ag- resti. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. This is the story of David Lubin, founder of the International Institute of Agriculture, at Rome. It is the story, too. of an immigrant, who, born in Russian Poland in 1849, came. when very young, to live in East Side New York. At twelve the boy was a man at work. Then away out of the to Arizona, California. Tn the siter place he became a merchant. Hayiy in his commercial career he +2\ "o see that the prosperity of his ©w class. and of the laboring class. as well, depended on the prosperity of the farming communities of the country. He went into farming, ap- plying to it exactly the business prin iples that he had applied to his com- ercial busincss. This was the be- nning_of a y and a steadily ‘roadening experience that culmi- nated. finally, in the International In- | stitute of Agriculture. To organiz agriculture for the spread of knowl- | cdge. for an understanding of the markets, to secure rural credits. to nbtain the bext advantages of trans- nortation—these were the objects f which he laborad. beginning with his mmediate neighhorhood and working out toward and into the international | fleld. Of Lubin his biographer savs: | “He was a practical idealist. and his whole life was spent in the tenacious “ffort to realize this same ideal of cconomic justice. But Lubin was not only an i he was also an orig- inal thinker. an initiator, a pioneer. and step by step he worked onward an upward through a series of co-or- dinated efforts=—all links in the chai of the same endeavor.” In the field of international co-operation David Lu- bin was a pioneer and a woild leader. Signora Agresti, the biographer of Lubin, worked h him in close sympathy for many years. accepting his theories, supporting his claims This is, therefore, by u competeni bi- | ographer. and one, moreover. that is| of an illuminating _and persuasive | power. Of her Willlam Rosco Thayer says: “Are we not all indebted to Signora Agresti for writing this life of David Lubin. thereby enabling us to know one of the distinctive sreat men of his age—one of the light-bringers” MEMORIES OF ecount Bryce.

The materfal for this novel was drawn out from the current of mod- ern life, where. success in money meking appears to overtop if not to deny every other kind of success. The story itself, that of two aisters adventuring into matrimony, sets up a study in contrast between success hased on wealth and that which has ite foundation in work.

Morton & Co The Indians of eastern North America, those with whom the early explorers and settlers first came into contact, were of three separatestocke. The one holding the southeastern part of the country was the Maskoki race. This race included the Chickasaws, | Choctaws, Creeks and Seminoles. The | Chickasaws occupied the region that | is now Tennessee and a strip lving | to the south of jt. It is of this Chick- | asaw tribe tha the author has m i & study. creating out of it a local, historic background of the state | whose name is an Indian name.qHim- | selfl a citizen of this region, Judge | Malone has followed the fortunes and | the fate of the Chickasaw tribe through eve: available avenue of in- formation on the subject. Such orig inal records as could be found wer made use of in this study. in the fir: place to give wuthority to the work in the second place to give it the ef- fect of being alive and near at hand. That which set out to be a “short sketch” grew to a sizable volume un- der the interest and patience and en- thusiasm of the writer. The story begins with the discoverers and ex plorers. It ends with something like a plea for a more understanding at- titude toward the remnants of the whole Indfan life left to this country, for a juster treatment, for a more generous spirit. An excellent bibliog- | raphy of the subject has been pro- vided for readers and students who | desire to work out from Judge !\'fl-' lone’s book. | { NATION.

Mr. Dufty had heard that in and about Los Angeles, which has a repu- tation as a great repertoire city, was a player. who was rated as the highest paid leading man west of the | Rocky mountains. He had played in every Pacific coast city of promi-{ nence and during one engagement, he | played over 1,500, perfomances of the | same show in stock in Denver. Harry Manners. stage director of knew Barnes personally and he also knew that Barnes wanted to come east, but he wanted to come on fairly favorable terms, and up to that time, clrcum- stances had not been altogether pro- pitious. Duffy, however, decided that Barnes would come to Washington, if the terms could be made satisfac- tory. so he immediately wired the coast star an offer, which resulted in Barnes' signature to a President Players’ contract. If you've ever seen Otto Kruger, the | own actor of “Adam and Eva. va.” and a few other productios milar_import. you have a fairly accurate idea of Barnes' physical ap- pearance and size. though his friends claim_he’s probably betfer looking than Mr. Kruger. when all is said and done.
