Reading the Classics Mention the classics as enjoyable reading, and most persons yawn, pointing to current issues of the magazines as more delectable material for recreation aiid relaxation. The prejudice against the masterpieces is a sad commentary on our civilization. Time was, and not so long ago, when a person, advancing the slightest claim to culture, had an acquaintance with at least a few of the great literary minds of the world. Today he shrugs his shoulder and with a superficial wisdom pronounces his belief in "living in the present". And sad to say his offhand rejection of the mental output of some of the world's greatest thinkers and writers meets no rebuttal. To the person who has spurned reading the classics, the condensed reviews of some of the great masterpieces, as they appear day by day in the Palladium, may come as a pleasant surprise. Instead of finding them "dead and dry", to his own surprise he finds himself carried away by their charm. Through them pulsates life, as real and full of meaning, as that found in any .contemporary novel. They picture men and events with a fidelity to the human type that requires no justification or apology. Perhaps many of us would lose our antipathy to the classics of famous authors if we would transfer ourselves to the era which they depict, and, projecting before our mind's eye their civilization say, really these men and women possess the same traits we ourselves have; they laugh and cry, hate and love, bless and curse, reward and profiteer, just as we do today. Morals have changed little in the lapse of centuries, but the external manifestations of wickedness and goodness have done so. The besetting sin of one generation seldom is the iniquity in which the succeeding one indulges. The principle of evil and the principle of good will always be with us. Their manifestations, however, undergo a change. Famous authors present men and women as they act and re-act under the dominating influences of their day, so that their books never become old-fashioned and obsolete. They are fresh as dew if we approach them sympathetically and read them with intelligence. One need not have a superior education to appreciate a story written one hundred years ago. The student of literature probably reads every book with the purpose of studying the author's method. But even he cannot overlook entirely the story as a story. He also enjoys the development of character, the ramifications of plot, the charm of the setting, which enrapture the ordinary reader. Persons who have been reading the series undoubtedly have acquired a new attitude toward the classics. They found their prejudice was grounded on misconceptions of what a classic really is, even if the condensations were restricted to fiction.

The dramas, epics, and the many forms of

poetry, which have come down to us by tradi

tion and laborious transcriptions from the early

days of civilization are just as gripping and

animating as the works of fiction. We are denying ourselves a rare treat by not becoming acquainted with these masterpieces. In passing it may be well to cal attention

to the splendid facilities of the Morrison-Reeves library, which has an excellent collection of books. Here you may obtain, without cost to you, copies of the best that the human mind has produced from the earliest records to modern times. The value of a library is nt to be sought in the structure or the number of books on its shelves, but In the use to which you put the volumes. If a condensed classic has aroused in you a desire to read the volume, you may obtain it at the library. If you seek a wider acquaintance with the literary masterpieces of the world, the library will gratify your desire. Prpduce or Perish In a review of the business and financial situation, the First National Bank of Boston says in part: It is well to search for means to alleviate the burdens which the high cost of living is causing and will likely cause for some time to come. Certainly cases of so-called "profiteering" should be repressed when discovered. At the same time, the great mass of business men who are engaged in competitive business will continue to sell in the open market at the best prices obtainable; and those prices will inevitably be high until the natural solution of the present predicament takes place ; namely, when the aggregate production of the world catches up with the demand. To this end, the movement of labor for shorter working hours is particularly ill-timed and against the interests of every one. Another natural corrective which can be applied and which would be extremely helpful is a drastic cutting down of the orgy of extravagance in buying which is prevalent everywhere. To the ordinary observer and to those who have access to the figures showing luxury-buying, this extraordinary purchasing is alarming. It is not to be wondered at that following the severe self-denial and suffering of the war, a period of relaxation and free expenditure should exist. Nevertheless the quickest and surest way to relieve the situation is to focus attention on increased production and curtail the growing tendency toward unnecessary and extravagant buying. Legislation "in other directions will have minor effects only. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in a stirring editorial on Lloyd George's recent analysis -of conditions, expresses the identical thought which seems gradually to be obtaining lodgment in our national consciousness. These expressions, from leaders in all walks of life at home and abroad, are re-produced to assist us in focusing our attention on the real solution of the question. Says the Enquirer: y Modified as to degree, but exact in application to the United States, is the pessimistic prophecy of Premier Lloyd George concerning Great Britain. When he asserts that the cause of the impending debacle is under-production and overconsumption, joined to heavy borrowing and reckless spending, he sums up true conditions. Temporarily America has the advantage over England in the matter of cheaper production of goods, though cursory survey would deceive one into thinking that the cost was higher. It will take some time for the fatal fallacy now gripping that country to develop its poison here. This error lies in the theory that through reducing the output steadier work and higher wages may be insured to the producing classes. If the farmer were to adopt this economic policy and put it into commanding effect it would not be long before the prophets of the slacking school would be reminded by their empty stomachs of the gross blunder they were preaching. No stilted argument or imposing array of facts is necessary to convince the producers that unless the output of the past is maintained and even increased it will not be long before a change is precipitated which will overturn the present standards of living and bring on conditions of an appalling nature. If one has nothing to sell he can purchase nothing. As Lloyd George said with fine perception, the world cannot be reconstructed with a touch of Aladdin's lamp. Paraphrasing an old motto of a French fighter, the slogan of the times is: "Produce, produce always produce!"

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

Nationalization Fails

From the New York Times. SCANT space was given by those English newspapers which, with "ear to the ground," were eager to make a case for the nationalization of coal mines, then erroneously supposed to be popular, to the testimony of a witness before the coal commission in regard to nationalization in New Zealand and Australia. It was Bhown that industries there nationalized were made inefficient by that political control which Is Inevitable to nationalization. Tho workmen had no reason to be industrious. They manifested no energy. They didn't have to. They lost the power of Initiative. Jobs crept Into the management. The government was In a permanent state of gooseflesh. When a decision was absolutely necessary it didn't dare to make it. In his book on Australian "Problems and Prospects," Sir Charles G. Wade, Agent General for New South Wales and sometime its prime minister, gives firsthand evidence to the same effect. It might have been supposed that tho working of the famous, or once famous Industrial Arbitration act in that state would have been sufficiently instructive as to the result of labor in politics and the gov eminent bedeviled by labor. The court established to compose labor controversies under the act held that union laborers must be preferred by it to non-union, laborers. Of course, the non-union men swarmed Into the unions, and the unions forced their members to vote the labor party ticket. Decisions against employers could be enforced. Decisions 'against employes could not. Such i3 the case, for that matter in Great Britain, since the passage of the trade disputes act In 1906 made it impossible to get any satlsfaction-from trade unions by damages or in tort. The Industrial Arbitration act falling, wage boards of employers and employes, with an Impartial chairman, were tried. According to Sir Charles, the union men would take all that the boards could be persuaded to give ;tbem and then strike to force the government to take a

city Imposed for firmness on the part of tho government was severe," says Sir Charles. Strikes were numerous. The law was scorned and the peace broken. What can you expect when government caters to a class? The result of government intervention in labor disputes in New South Wales tell us what was to be expected of the government essays in various industries. From 1911 to 1917 there were sixteen of these. They must have been on a small scale, for the government seems to have been only some $100,000 out of pocket by them; but the causes of the failure are significant The management was incompetent, because, though the managers were efficient, political influence was continually going over their heads. Unfit men were foisted upon the various establishments. It was useless to discharge them, because they were sure to be brought back by the politicians. Discipline broke down. Cost increased. Strikes occurred as in private concerns. "Experience Bhows," writes Sir Charles, "that if a strike takes place In a government establishment, ministerial intervention is enforced and a concession made to the strikers. The government position is always difficult. If the ministry resists the demands, votes may be imperiled; if they yield, discipline may be threatened. Where the state is the largest employer of labor and the franchise Is adult, any action of the government which displeases the employe might be resisted not only through the weapon of the strike Immediately, but punished at the ballot box when the general election takes place." Sir Charles is proud of Australia. It is the freest and most democratic country in the world to him. Yet his own testimony proves that a state which owns or controls industry, even a state which Is an intervener, and a necessarily or usually voteregarding and biased Intervener, In industrial controversies, promotes a class, strays from democracy, injures industrial efficiency, increases cost, and diminishes production. The United States and Great Britain should heed the lesson' from the Antipodes.

STEVENSON

Robert Louis Stevenson writes In 1S83; "I am now a person with an established ill-health a wife a dog possessed with an evil spirit a certain reputation and very obscure finances. I now draw near to the Middle Ages; nearly three years ag-o that fatal thirty struck; and yet the great work la not yet even conceived. Eight

years ago, II l coma nave siung inn as I can now, I should have thought myself well on the road after Shakepare and now I find I have only got a pair of walking shoes and not yet begun to travel." At this time he and his wife spent one of their happiest periods in their first real home, "La Solitude," In Hyeres. At the end of 16 months ha was again flung back Into acute suffering. They went to Bournemouth, where they lived in "Skerryvore" until after his father's death. Confined to the house a condition most irksome to his active temperament his gallant and buoyant spirit nevertheless flamed into expression at the slightest respite from pain and weakness. He wrote "Kidnapped," one of his most brilliant successes, and the "wild, symbolic" tale of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the most popular of all his writings. In 1887 he left the trying climate of the British Isles, never to return. With his family he went to the United States, where he was acclaimed, but his weak condition necessitated an immediate rest at Saranac, N. Y.

Here he wrote for Scrlbner's Ma gains the essays including "The Lantern Bearers." "Dreams" and "Pulvis et "Chalet L,a Solitude," Hyere. where Umbra," the charm of which la ageStevenson lived 1SS3-'S4. less.

KIDNAPPED BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Condensation by James B. Connolly

It was dawn; the blackbirds were whistling in the lilacs, the mists of the valley arising and melting, when I set out for the house of Shaw. On the forenoon of the second day, coming to the top of a hill, I saw the city of Edinburgh smoking like a kiln below me. There was a flag upon the castle and ships anchored to the blue floor of the Firth, a sight which thrilled me. I walked on toward Cramond. making Inquiries as I went of my unch? who seemed to be in no favor thereabout, some giving me a half-civil word, some a scowl or a curse for an answer. It was night, and his house barred and dark when I came to it; and it was a long while before my shouts and knocks brought him to the window from where, with a blunderbuss by way of welcome, he screamed to Inquire my business. It was a mean, stooping, clay-faced

creature; and a big muckle house and an ill-kept one I saw when at last he let me In, with dirt, mice and spiders having their play of it. Here I stayed some days, the while he sparingly fed me with porridge and a rare half-cup pf ale. One night he gave me 40 pounds, saying it was a debt he owed my father, and with it he gave me also a rusty key to the high stair tower, telling me to bring him down the chest at tho top of it. I went, poor fool, into the dark to bring it; and only a blink of summer lightning saved me from

stepping into space and being dashed ; sheer down from the top of the tower. I Of the estate that he had defrauded '.

my father In life I had then no suspicion; but that happening of the tower gave me a glimpse of hia villany. In the morning my body would be dis

covered at the foot of the tower, his '

40 pounds in my pockets, as one trying to escape after robbing his host. What a tale he would make of it!

Next day my uncle spoke of a friend, I

Captain Elias Hoseason of the brig j Covenant, then lying off Queensferry on the Firth, proposing that I go call there with him. I agreed, being eager j to get away from that evil house; also ; I had knowledge that residing inj

Queensferry was Mr. KanKieiior, me counsellor and agent, a friendly person and one who knew more than any other of my father's business in life.

We arrived at Queensferry, but I did j not see Mr. Ranklellor, foreby I first allowed myself to be led into looking over the brig with Captain Hoseason ' and my uncle. It was so that I came

to be knocked on the head and kidnapped to sea on the agreement between my uncle and Captain Hoseason that. I was to be sold into slavery in the Carolines. It was a fair wind the first day to sea, but following days were all head winds, the ship making so little way on her course to the north that Captain Hoseason made a fair wind of a foul one bv heading: her south back

the way we had come. During this t time of bad weather the cabin boy was killed by the first officer in a drunken ; passion, his body cast overboard and I pressed into his, berth. j It was night, with a swell and a thick 1 white fog, the men listening for break

ers, when the brig ran over a boat; and sent all but one man to the bottom. That one, with a leap and a clutch which showed his rare agility and strength, boarded us by way of the brig's bowsprit. He entered the cabin, or roundhouse, looking cool as you please, and called for something to eat and the drink to wash it down. He was a well set, rather small man with a dark face and dancing bright eyes. Under his great coat were two silver mounted pistols, a dirk and a great-sword. He made his name known, Alan Stewart Breck, and without fear announced himself as on a mission for Prince Charlie. From a money-belt about him he offered the Captain sixty guineas to set ashore on Linnhe Loch. The Captain shook hands on the bargain, but at once went on deck to plot with his first officer as to how best to come at the money belt. I had no love for the Captain, and also -it was a scurvy hospitality to a man we had all but drowned ; so I warned the stranger of the plot. Surprised he was but not put out, asking me would I stand with him. Jacobite though he was, I said I would. Two doors and a skylight furnished entrance to the roundhouse. Alan placed me with loaded pistols where I could see to shoot through at whoever might come at one closed door or through the glass skylight. The other door he left open, standing before it with dirk and sword. They came with a rush of feet and many loud cries toward Alan. 1 heard a shout from him and a cry as of some one hurt. Then came five men with a spare yard for battering ram to drive my door in. For the first time in my life I fired a pistol; and hit one of them, which drove them back. By then Alan's sword was running blood; and the first mate, he who had murdered the cabin boy, lay dying on the floor. Another lay beside him. They came next to my side, some to the barred door and one dropping L through the skylight to the floor,'

where, after first closing my eyes, I shot him. He dropped with a horrible groan. Another one's legs dangled through the 6kylight, and I Bhot him, too he dropping dead atop of his companion. Alan was then dirking one who clunjg to his legs, and putting the cutlass to another who was coming on at him. A third held a cutlass over him and yet more were crowding at him through the door. He seemed lost; but he broke clear and, taking his distance, clove one, clove another, and then, his sword flashing like quicksilver, drove the others like sheep along the deck. We were masters of the brig. Alan embraced and kissed me, saying: "David, I love you like a brother. But O man, am I not the bonny fighter!" and sitting down by the table, sword in band, he burst into a Gaelic song. The very next night we struck on a reef. I was thrown into the sea, thinking I would drown, but found a spar and with it kicked myself along until my feet found quiet water and dry land. Of the 6hip or her company I could see nothing. Later I learned that all but the wounded were safe. The ship herself was a total loss to Captain Hoseason, which I did not grieve to hear. After days of wandering and secret Inquiry, for he was one with a price on his head, I found Alan. It was in the same hour that I witnessed the killing of Campbell of Qlenure, the man who had been doing the King's will against the Jacobites. The shot came in such fashion that I seemed to be an accomplice. I had to flee or be hanged. It was Alan who secured my immediate escape. For two months thereafter, with red-coats guarding every road and glen, I followed Alan through the country of the Campbells. It was wet and cold and slim food for us both, with now and then a little something not much better in the hut of a Jacobite. Weary I grew and full of pain, crawling the wet heather and climbing the ragged crags and hills. Posted bills everywhere promised great rewards for our capture I saw them everywhere and many there were who knew us for what we were; but never one, poor and miserable though they might be, to speak the word of betrayal. "Such,' cried Alan proudly, "is the loyalty of the Hielander!" We came safe at last to Queensferry and the home of Mr. Ranklellor, who proved a shrewd kindly friend, and who at once set about retrieving my rights in the Shaw estate. "Your father," he explained, "was a good man, but weak. He loved your mother. To win your mother he let your uncle steal the estates. But you will have them back soon." Alan aided us. greatly in our plans. Half by quick wit and half by sheer boldness, he had my uncle admit his plan to have me kidnapped and sold iAto slavery in the Carolines. Mr. Rankiellor and his clerk all the while

listening in the shadows. And so I came to pass into my own. And Alan, who made a man of me? All he asked was to be put on the road of hi3 mission. As to that, let me say if I say no more, that he went safe on his way and all went well with him thereafter. Copyright, 1919, by the Post Publishing Company (The Boston Post).
