Humor Hod. Along with his great depth of thought and scholarship, Dr. Cadman has an eloquent and abounding source of wit and humor.

Dr. Cadoian is, so much a lover of literature and books that he is convinced that "a man Is himself, plus the books he reads." In an Interview which appeared in the American Magazine some time ago, he was quoted as deploring the tendency of too many persons to f.iil, to develop their mental processes. Dr. Cadnian Insists that one should "sharpen one's mental teeth" and "digest the meat of literature."

Kanlm With Greatest Prophets. Dr.

Cadman undisputably ranks as one of the greatest of modern prophets. His radio talks each Sunday afternoon, broadcast from New York, have won for 'him a following said to be greater even than that of the late William Jennings Bryan when the Commoner was at the height of his popularity.

I call it a ptory, in the popular nienning of that term, because Mr. Bowers's narrative is like that of an absorbing novel.

His pages are replete w.lth color, alive with movement, In fact1, the action is well nigh too rapid; for the reader who is not well informed In the history of the times must pause now and then to get his bearings, so swiftly do plot and in trigue, plan. Incident and event crowd upon one another. Material for at least two fat volumes are within these covers, for Mr. Bowers is a master oj the art of condensation. Doubtless his experience Of many years as journalist has sharpened his natural aptitude for brevity and, at the same time, his Instinct 'for the dramatic; for this writer of fascinating history also Is one of the most brilliant of living editorial writers.

KotM Not Omitted. But neither his newspaper experience nor the natural desire that the reader shall not be distracted by footnotes, has caused Mr. Bowers to omit from the bottom of his pages references to authority for statements in the- text. To student these citations in-Valuable; and even to the "casual reader" they give an Impression of authenticity, a feeling of security. No volume of history or biography should be tolerated which does not give the soiu-ce for every statement of fact.

Without It we do not know whether what we read is so. PeVhaps the author has studied letters, records, news- I papers and other original data but he has not. He may have relied on what somebody else has written who, himself, did not go to the source; or he may have Imagined his "facts" the reader doe's not know. AVe read history or biography to be Informed as well as entertained, anri it Is vital- that we have positive assurance that what we read Is the truth. W6 want the facts and all the facts, little' and big; and a little fact is as Important as a big fact if each is put in its -true place and In just proportion.

To so assemble incident, circumstance and event is a matter of artistry. The mere cataloging of facts, without regard to their relation, is dull means, nothing; to place them where'-they belong Is to tell a story more dramatic and full of "human interest" than the fancy of a novelist can 'conjure. Facts Interpret Thrmaelrrii; Moreover, facts interpret themselves, provided all of them are gathered and presented properly.

The executive departments are created fend the youthful, dashing Hamilton takes charge of the treasury. Although Mr. Bowers is a fervid partls of Jefferson, he paints a glowing portrait of Hamilton, albeit later in hl. book, he is to add repellaht colors, and make the subject assume unworthy and even grotesque, attitudes. As ohe reads the warming pages describing this foremost of "constructive statesmen" at the beginning of the government, and the subsequent passageslt almost nma that the first picture has been painted with overrlch colors, In order to make more striking the contrast with, the final presentment that the artist and politician In Mr.

BORAH LEADS OBJECTORS Coolidge Still Determined to See U. S. a Party to the Pact.

ItY FKASKB EDWARDS. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. (Universal Service) Girded for the bitterest battle that will rase In this Congress, friends- and foes of the world court are prepared to unllmber their heaviest suns when the fight opens next Thursday. v- Judging from the the fight will rival the rlstoric struggle over the League of Nations In length and Intensity.

Many months will have passed, unless these signs fail, before the Senate reaches a decision on whether the United States will adhere to the adjunct of the league. Flan Fund Expose. One of the first moves, to be made by the Irreconcilable will be an effort to force an Investigation of'the, huge slush fund being spent for world court propaganda. A preliminary investigation has convinced the lrreconcilables that a large part of the fund is being supplied by international bankers and they expect to be able to expose this to the country. In- many respects the fight will resemble the battle which ended lit the rejection of the league.

Once more Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, is leading his little "band of lrreconcilables. 1 I Again his chief allies are Senator Hiram Johnson of California, Senator Moses of New Hampshire; Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri. To these original lrreconcilables are added Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, "the baby of the Senate," whose father was art implacable foe of the League of Nations, and Senator Blease of South Carolina. Although the world court: is backed by, the administration, the Democrats once more are taking a leading part in the effort to force the United States to enter the body which is nominated by the league.

1 Democrat to Open Tilt. Senator Swanson of Virginia, ranking Democrat of the foreign relations committee, will make the first speech In favor of American adherence to the court. He will draw the fire of Senator Moses and the battle will be on In earnest. the ban of, 'secrecy lifted, the fight will be waged in. the open Senate 'and every maneuver by the opposing ftrces will be watched by the American public.

Ratification of the pact, requires a two-thirds vote. Before that is readied, the opponents of the court predict that they will muster is enough recruits to defeat the proposal. President Coolidge is standing pat In his determination to -have the United States become party to the court, And Republican leaders are planning to the fighting and keep the proposal before the Senate, once it Is taken up, until a decision Is reached. But with the determined prepared to make a last ditch fight, the Senate may! find it necessary to sidetrack the court in order to block action on the tax reduction bill and other equally important measures. Plan Short Fight.

Every effort will be made by the Republican leaders to shorten the fight as much as possible. One of these methods will be to check the flood of oratory in favor 'of the court. This Is admittedly difficult. Every Senator is anxious- to go on record and any effort to gag them will be frowned upon. Moreover, the lrreconcilables do Hot intend to be hampered for they are going to carry their fight against the'eourt to the country, Just as they did in the case of tfie' Leagiio of Nations.

Any attempt by the comparatively few senators who believe with Vice President Charles G. Dawes that the Senate rules should be changed to force a cloture rule on the Senate will be resisted to the utmost by the lrreconcilables, 1 They fully realize that the United States would now be a member of the League of Nations had not It been for the unlimited debate in the Sea-ate, which gave them an opportunity to educate the people" of the country on the real significance of such a step.

A formidable collection of adjectives, these; but Hamilton's portrait required startling colors.

Mr. Bowers Justly used many more In painting Hamilton's character; he was at onoe miutfi-rfiil and charming, arrogant and plausible, audacious and Intriguing, aggressive and impatient, courageous, Intolerant, overbearing. Infinitely able as an archltert of policies and an expounder of causes, but also Infinitely egotistic, Infinitely contemptuous of "the masses, Infinitely reliant nn his own-vast powers, Inflnltoly Ignorant of public psychology, infinitely deficient In the qualities of a politician a flflcli-ncy which, In a democracy, amounts to a crime.

I BOWERS SUSTAINS REPUTATION, SAYS BEVERIDGE. Ex Senator Declares Author of Book, "Jefferson and Hamilton," Paints Vivid Pictures.

Claude G. Bowers's latest book, "Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America," is pronounced a masterpiece in the dramatic, portrayal of events in that period of American history, in a review of the volume by ex-Senator Albert J. Beverldge. The volume from the former lloosier's pen is the second by Mr. Bowers dealing, with the early political history of the United States, Mr.

Bowers is now editorial writer on the New World, and formerly was an editorial writer on the Indianapolis Sentinel, the Terre Haute Star and the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Before going to New York, Mr. Bowers was a leader in Democratic politics in Indiana. He was chairman of the resolutions committee of the Democratic state convention in 1918, and delivered the keynote speech at the state conwntlon in 1920. In the the review points out, Mr.

Bowers does not conceal his partisanship in dealing the birth of Democracy, and neither Industry nor humility in It. To be specific, "historical Interpretation" means that' the writer finds several facts missing and speculates' on what they, were anil what they meant i they were ni? the "interpreter" supposes them" to have been whereas, the honest and modest method is to dig out the absolute facts and put them in their place thereupon the meaning of them and of all other facts becom? clear and simple. That requires work and patience and humility, be sure; but the result is worth the effort, for the writing of such a book is serious business. The temptation is strong to narrate without backing up statements; to wrte a quantity of -language Is alluring. Nothing Is so easy, as easy rhetoric, a truth which Shakespeare an-nouneed long time ago and the Greeks long before him.

Authors who produce works in which the words and deeds of men are set forth, but who do not take the to tell us the authority for what they write, merely confuse us perhaps they lead us astray often unintentionally, but sometimes on purpose. They ask us to take their word for it, and frequently, verv frequently, they themselves have taken the word of some other second BY ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE. Mr. Bowers's charming book on politics In' Jackson's time led us to expect brilliant treatment of anything about which he writes.

In his new volume ho sustains his reputation for engaging narrative. He is a master ot the picturesque, which, In hjslntjy and biography, Is Jargely the human. The human element always Is at work, and It can not bq neglected, So how pie live, what they do, what they say, their manners, their habits, the aspect of their houses, the appearance of their towns and cities are the true ma-' terials for the writing of historythe pigments for painting the picture of a period, The same thing Is true of notable characters. We wish to learn the mode of-, life of a prominent man-the clothes he wore, Jils bearing, his fashion of speech. Ilia" habit of action, his silence or loquacity, what books ho read, his companionship's, in short, all How tall was he? Was he thin or What was the color of his eyes and were they dull or mild or daring? Did he look steadily at one, or was' his glance furtive and shifty? Was his speech cultivated or uncouth, his voice harsh or soothing, or something between? Was he bold, or.
