Democracy, what it is and how it works, is the theme of a good many of them-of so many DI them, indeed, as to suggest that Mr. Baldwin is the Ars; citizen of a- democratic State just because he thinks more and cares more for democracy than the mass of blation has moulded them, that it still fellows, writes Harold, Stannard in "The Daily Telegraph."
That is not far from the truth. but it is also true that Mr. Baldwin holds his remarkable place in pur public life because his fellow coun-
rymien regard him as a typical Engilsh democrat. He is not at all sypieni. On the contrary, he must be a thoroughly exceptional, man, else he would not be where he is. CLOSE TO THE COMMON MAN
This book resolves the enigma, and resolves it in the only possible way, by showing how he uses his very considerable gifts not to draw away from the ordinary common nian, and especially from tha. de- mocratically important species, the ordinary common Englishinän, but Lo get closer to him
It is the only possible way be- cause the average Englishman is satisfied that Stanley Baldwin is John Bull's principal allas, and is not prepared to consider it possible that the country's most trusted statesman is other than he seema. Opinions differ, especially politics, but there are no two opin-

In discussing men of genius we #1040 pick out qualities with which we can sympathize, so that criticism is self-revealing, Mr. Baldwin re- veals himself when he says of Wesley that his supreme legacy was "his conception of a practical religion for the ordinary man and woman," or of General Booth that he was "both a Conservative and a reformer," or of William Morris, whom he knew;

COUNTRYSIDE AND THE SEA Whence comes this love of com-
man things and common men? It is rooted in faith. Evidently Mr.
Baldwin shares Lincoln's view that God must care greatly for ordinary folk because he made so many of them.
