The- latest of th many olames that
have been authored or edited by XL V.,
Lucas la a book of essays previously
burdened -with dellrhtful oddiUeS and
whimsicalities. Not all of Uiem are
essays, either. Tber ara a lew bits
of noteworthy narrativa not short sto
ries exactly, bat little chatty tales and
the Ilka' Tbey are all quit English,
often subtle and sometime not according-
to American expectation But that
Is a part of their charm, Without to
tending to be so, they are fin patches
of the local color which we Americana
so keenjy prize. .
K. V. Lucas has a etirtous and unique
talent 1b giTlnsj a humorously fantastic
turn to commonplaces. . This interest''
lag capacity chows itself to good adt
vantage in several of the items of this
collection; The title essay, "GlyinjT
and KecernnsV" is an example, to the
old Christian maxim that It is more

gives a whimsical twist when he In
terprets it as peculiarly applicable to
the typical Christmas gift, so easily
and heedlessly given, but received with
difficulty, and . embarrassment. Thus
he sagely remarks, "most elephants are
white." ; As a remedy fof this deplor
able circumstance, he urg-es that It
might, "do a world of good ' If one
Christmas this next Christmas, for
example we. all decided to tell the
truth and eay exactly what w thought
of our presents. "What's the use of
giving me a diary when you must
know, I never keep one? 'Good heavens,
you don't really expect me to wear a
tie of that color" SUU. despite the
arguments which might be urged In
favor of aucTt a course, Mr. Lucas ts
net - certain that we' should daro to
adopt It. "The human family," he
opines, "Is held together so largely ty
compromise and" lack of candor that
its total disintegration "might follow;
and we don't want that yet? Not be
fore the next cricket season, at any
rate." Substituting baseball for cricket,
and we readily agree with him.
"Th Evolution of Whimsicality is
an interesting and learned essay upon
the development of a phase in humor
ous writing. 'The Blue Buritania" Is
a thrilling little tale cleverly told in a
series of letters. "In the Padded Beats"
is a smilingly pleasant congregation of
echoes from the chairs about the fire
at the club. These essays and tales
are not like those of the beloved Elia,
yet they do have a touch that is agree
ably reminiscent of Lamb's musines,
to which Mr. Lucas would not be the
last to admit his debt ;
"Whit Prohibition Has Done to liwrK"
It Fabian Franklin IHarooart. Brace a Cok,
New York, f ,, ,. .
Whatever one may thinic about pro
hibition, Fabian Franklin has done a
little anti book on the Question that la
not to be denied a hearing. His begin
ning is not tactful, however much It
may be true. References to the Jmere"
will f the majority are not likely to
command any tumult of popularity.
Nor. is his conclusion completely obvi
ous. It seems a bit far fetched to in
sist that prohibition is setting us on
the high road to socialistic, ruin even
granting what Mr. Franklin does not
prove, that ruin and socialism are en
tirely synonymous. The real meat of

The Journal. What Is the matter with
a man who shoves a pencil, pounds a
typewriter, practice law,, tries to man
age a farm, feeds pigs, milks cows,
grows grain and alfalfa hay, giving his
version of the recent' landslide in Ore
gon and the nation? Many writers are
rendering decisions and passing judg
ment, who without question are
swayed either by political bias or actu
ated by personal gain to themselves
and those they represent by employ
ment. On January 1, 1920, to all ap
pearances at least, this cpuntry was
on an even keel. All classes were en
joying .prosperity, the greatest ever
known In this country.' Then came an
edict from the federal reserve board
that the brakes must be put on ; that
the process of deflation of the then in
flated condition must take place; that a
41-cent' dollar was unbearable- and un
thinkable. Wall Street had been loan
ing money for; some time at as high
as 30 per cent. The common and main
tained ate of interest on call loans
was 10 per cent and better. - This in
ordinate rate of interest had neces
sarily drawn hundreds of millions of
money to Wall Street from all parts
of the country. For the man with
hoards of money Ume "wea ripe tor
deflation. It started, and . went with
a tremendous velocity, hitting those
unable to protect themselves rflrst, the
farmer. When, the farmer was well
ntgh deflated, then came the turn of
labor,- and the process employed has
been only partially successful, because
he had an organization which could
make a substantial resistance. But
steel and iron, coat.' Oil and gaa, pack
ers goods, and many lines of manu
factures sailed along as usual, and the
railroads were-taken under the wing-of

at Washington urged ant secured the
repeal of the excess profits tax and a
substantial reduction on surtaxes of
corporations, hv which th war nmfi.

THK UNWRITTEN LAW -Solution
Proposed Is to Call Murder

Defense to Men and Women 4
Alike. A
Rickreart. Nov. IS. To the Editor of
The Journal! was much interested
in a recent editorial in The 'Journal
expressing the need of bringing to jus
tice the many women who murder
their husbands. ,
The "unwritten ' law "harks back
many years, to a time when, apparent-.
Mr Franklin's argument Is that por
tion which considers prohibition from
a constitutional standpoint. Us says,
The constitution withdraws . certain
things from -the. control of the major
ity tor the time being withdraws them
from the province of ordinary legisla
tion for the purpose of safeguarding
liberty ; the eighteenth .amendment
seises upon the mechanism designed
for this purpose and perverts it to the
diametrically opposite - end, " that of
safeguarding the denial ef liberty."
Thus." he adss, "quite apart from all
Questions as ta the merits of prohibi
tion In Itself, the eighteenth amend
ment is a constitutional monstrosity."
If Mrv Franlditt had said "novelty" In
stead of monstrosity he would have
completed ' a . fairly : convincing and
certainly -ear interesting ease.
The prohibitionists may talcs com
fort, if they are not sufficiently com
fortable already, in the fact that Mr.
Franklin has discovered no very sat
isfactory ! way of getting around the
eighteenth amendment. To replace the
Volstead i act with an enforcement
measur. which would permit the sals
of light wines sad beer would, In his
opinion, be a violation of the spirit and
intent of the fundamental law. This
hs condemns as a dangerous prece
dent to institute. He has no hopes that
the prohibition amendment may Too
easily repealed. His only suggestion
to the thirsting,' ones is that they work
for a constitutional amendment to re
place ' the eighteenth amendment, em
powering congress to legislate upon' the
liquor question from time to time. Even
this, he fears. Is not m measure which
is likely to. pass, nor one which would
be very satisfactory to anyone con
cerned if it did paea For all Fabian
Franklin says, the United States may
look forward to a long dry spell.-'

Chappie (Chappie PnbiaUag company, Bos

Joe Mitchell Chappie has just dons
a very fine little book' on the Yellow
stone, written with his customary
sparkle ana Illustrated -with a score of
excellent halftones. Joe Mitchell Chap
pie allows himself to be carried off into
extravagant flights of eloquence when
anything .opens the gates of his emo
tions but then he carries his readers
along too, so w daren't criticise on
that score. His word pictures of the
great natural park are vivid and color
lul. His narrative is brightened here
and there with touches of fun. His en
thusiasm is genuine end contagious.
We are told by the librarians that
travel books are rivaling fiction these
days. In, that case the ?See America
First" slogan should be passed' on to
the armchair travelers who wander
afar -by the light of the library lamp.
To begin with, we recommend "ATop

The Penny Post, published by Har
ceurt. Brace k. Co., offers this remark
able remark: "Nowadays we know
that criticism and original Work can
be identical."; .
Among recent publications from the
press of Houghton, Mifflin -company

ly, it was instituted for the sole use of
jealous husbands, it Jias been so used
by such men many times within the
past few yeara Men have shot down
both their wives and their "invader"
sweethearts and openly confessed so
doing, even boaatingly. The law did
not touch .them. A man steps through
a-window, goes into the room in which
are his divorced wife and her lover,
and shoots them both dead. It Is reck
oned of no concern, though two guilty
souls were then ushered Into the be
yond unprepared to meet' God. A most
atrocious murder is -committed by a
man who uses his little daughter as
both accomplice and instrument, and
all because of a fancied coldness on
his wife's part and of his jealous rage.
Alt 'thjs is wrong from its very, in
dptency. , Men should say squarely, "If
such offense is a crime worthy of
death, then we will so place it on our
statute hooks and whoever' takes the
filfe of another, be the same murderer
or murderess, shall be punished to the
run extent of the law."- The fact is
that men cannot "well bring murder
eases to - justice when the courts only
play at Justice where murderers are
concerned. Women are, sadly enough.
taxing a turn at the gams of "snwrtt
ten law," and men must give them li
cense until they themselves are willing
to suffer justice foe the same offense.
People are too fair-minded to clamor
for the conviction and sentence to
death of a woman, who denies the ac
cusation of murder and, against whom
but little or no evidence can be pro
duced. , It seems the best way to right the
condition into, which the unwritten
law" has plunged lis is to bring first
the originators of the wretched thing
to full justice when they transgress
the law and commit 'murder. Then I
think we shall not be alow in dealing
with the weaker sex and In the end
emancipating or nation from this
holocaust of horrors-.

HAILS WILSON'S CHALLENGE
Vancouver, Wash., JNov, I2.--To the
Editor of The Journal Ex-President
Wilson's Armistice day speech, where
in he referred to senatorial "puny
minds" which obstruct and stultify
American justice), indicates that the
erstwhile Wood row Wilson is "coming
back." He knew, and many now are
learning, that the helter-skelter of
1920 was perpetrated by the stool
pigeons of Big Business in order-to
put the professional tariff tinkers in
power so they could tax the masses
in the interest of the classes. - To suc
ceed In this enterprise in issue was
needed, and one there was. The League
ef Nations was then In suspense. In
nature this proposition appeared to be
complex- and recondite, so much so,
in fact,-that It was absolutely beyond
the sesss of the American .simpleton.
This was exactly what the wreckers
needed. The league was described as
a monster, a dragon that would "de
vour babies from the breast. Choke
bore orators poured hot air. into Ger
mans. Austriana, Bulgarians and ther
foreigners. 'To people whose thought
is nret. . last, all the time -and only
or uieir come la ml this busraboo "was
convincing and alarming. They voted,
and they now have all and more; than
they voted for, namely. Daugherty
plus a standpat tariff. Rooseveltian.

a great many popls might call
impossible as the French have it.

garter or elastic The 3d. in line
of succession has not got nothing

along on his brains which even his
best friend would call a precarious
existence knowing him as they do.
