BARRETT Ow '0: Washington Letter •The president of one of the larg- |t American universities recently expressed the opinion that not one of the .books written today will be read 25 years h€nce. Perhaps this state ment Is true wltn reference to fiction and most of th* poetry. One hesitates to accept as true so drastic a statement, repird- Ing books oil science and philosophy. The theories advanced by our modern scientists may be discarded; aftd likely will be, but as books of refv ereiice, a quarter of a century from now, they will be valuable. We are of the opinion that boofcs of reference containing results In any research field, will always be of much value We •re living In a different world than that in which Hawthorne, Emerson. Shakespeare and Browning wrote. The works of authors like these will always remain of permanent value and will be eagerly read by generations to come. The wonderful story of Lea Mlserables by Victor Hugo is still read i»y thousands. In choosing books we should read, modern fiction may or may not have a prominent place. This depends upon the dosire of the reader. We are in formed that books of this sort remain In shop windows, conspicuously displayed for sale, for just three months After this time other books of a like nature take their place; which Indicates the large amount of such writin* that is thrown upon the market. Publishers are evidently of the opinion that the destiny of a book Is determined within a three month's period. It Is evident that no person can keep up with all the latest fiction."'We are of the opinion that the most stimulating reading Is biography and history. Many most excellent biographies have been published within the last ten years. The demand for books on biography have been large and very Insistent In such books we live over the periods of history and share the failures and triumphs of that person whose life we are reading. It Is also a wonderful study In human nature at its best and at Its worst The historical novel seems to have been supplanted by books in the field of biography. It Is not necessary to read a large number of books. It matters not hew much we read but how we read Lincoln had few bookS, but these he mastered and his Gettysburg address still remains a classic in American literature. "Master books, but do not let tbeni master you--Read to live, not life to read." |1 • WMtara JN«wapap«r Onion. •••: A? v: --By-- National Editorial Association ERTIE n "An after-dinner speech is never a« broad aa it is long."

Washington, June 19 - Extracting choice olives from a narrow-neck bottle with the fingers is a. relatively easy task compared to President Roosevelt's problem in rescuing favored pieces of legislation from the Congressional junk-heap. The blow administered by the judiciary in the recent NBA test case has given many rebellious Democrats the muchneeded excuse to run but on the party leader. These law-makers talk privately that the situation was timely and made to order. Not even the prospect of patronage^in the public works program pacifies the rebels who are anxious to close shop and rush back to the home-folks. The net effect Of the seething undercurrent on Capitol Hill willbe the shortening of the present session to force adjournment not later than July 15. Flagued by job-seekers and propaganda from their districts, the legislators are displaying frayed tempers. The humidity and heat now registering here play a part in increasing the discomfort pf "the people's choice" on duty in the Senate and House. This state of mind is obviously not conducive to good government. The tendency is "to take the fewest possible measures and jam these bills through without the deliberation usually expected and seldom given. Congressional leaders have made known this sentiment and consequently nettled Mr. Roosevelt. He is not so much concerned with the negligible Republican opposition as with the growing dissension within the ranks of his own party. The chances of coercing the rebellious element to do his bidding are decreasing day by day. The party "whips" or vote-getters at the Capitol are discouraged as the members turn a deaf ear to their appeals for co-operation. . Mr. Roosevelt is determined that the sapping operations will not restrict the scope of the public regulation bill. He has given this matter his special attention presumably animosity to the utility interests. Fortunately for his purpose, the bungling opposition of the utility companies and their shady financial deals of other years has brought these outfits within the Roosevelt traps. The central bank idea which is also close to the heart of the Chief Executive has not fared so well thanks to the unswerving attacks by the doughty Senator Glass, former. Secretary of the Treasury in the Wilson administration. The present Administration has a wholesome respect for the power of the outspoken Virginian to- sway his colleagues. Speculation now turns to the methods which will be utilized to "sell" the new NRA to the country. Considering the millions spent in an endeavor to make the nation "Blue Eagle conscious", observers feel that the Administration will adopt a plan or another insignia testifying as to co-operation with the Federal government in recovery measures. Doubt is expressed as to the advisability of whooping it up along the lines used c«n. Johnson. Experience showed that too much hurrah hurt the NRA with Ihe people. President Roosevelt's thinly veiled criticisms of the Supreme Court following the opinion which nearly wrecked his New Deal agencies may rise to haunt him. Already the seeds of suspicion are sprouting that he will go beyond the scope of the NRA extension act in developing new social concepts and new social values thru executive orde,rs. This procedure is possible because Congress must necessarily leave many matters of detail to the Administration, which actually applies the law. It will be manifestly impossible for the courts to control such disputes arising for alleged extra-legal use of authority by the Chief Executive. It is freely predicted that business groups will derive cold comfort from the opinions of their legal advisors regarding the curbing effect of the Schecter NRA case and the delegatiaon of legislative power to the executive branch so clearly denounced by the highest tribunal. If the threatened coal strike fails to materialize you will be safe in assuming that a pretty deal was made behind the scenes. The dopesters predict that wages will be increased by a small amount and the miners will sign another contract before August 15, when the demand for fall deliveries starts. Incidentally, John L. Lewis, the miner's union chief, far overshadows William Green as the real leader of trade union forces;' "ft is whispered in labor circles that Lewis really rules the roost at thf American Federation of Labor ale though Green holds the title as presi* dent. When-a citizen considers himself a man of destiny, it is not unusual thai his actions should be scrutinized and his public behavior analyzed. Two Republican Senators, Vandenburg of Michigan and Dickinson of Iowa are now watched as men expecting the mantle of the Presidency. Their votes and speeches on controversial measures are catalogued for any campaign which may be launched in their behalf. Office-seekers must always be prepared to serve as targets and pay the price in their search for fame and fortune. Mir. aiid. Mrs..
