The Fiftieth Anniversary Number of the St. 'Louis Post- Dispatch
is -not one large, gorgeous edition of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer's paper, but an elegant, purple portfolio of Anniver- sary Numbers -dealing with a variety of subjeets, and con- taining veritable gems of journalism. Perhaps the most interesting section is that dealing with America's future " discussed by foreign observers." Mr. H. G. Wells writes with his usual piercing observation of " The Next Phase in America," in which he suggests that America is still in a state of intellectual adolescence, but that she will -demonstrate in the future that there is also a New World of Ideas." M. Andre. Siegfried also writes on America's place in world civilization. In a letter to Mr. Pulitzer, Mr. Coolidge suggests (and weagree) that there is a great need for a country residence to which the President and the hostess of the White House can escape for a change of air and of scenery. Other articles of especial interest are " The Future of American Humour," by Mr. Stephen Leacock, and a survey of industrial progress during the last fifty years, by Mr. Henry Ford.
