This article literally appraises several books. "Masks in a Pageant," by William Allen White; "Big Frogs," by Henry F. Pringle; and The "Also Rans." Men Who Missed the Presidency," by Don C. Seitz. In the first book, one can find more in detail the strangely baffling political philosophy of William Allen White. In "Big Frogs" Henry F. Pringle binds together fourteen sketches of some diverse personalities. Silas Bent's volume includes not only sketches of the personalities, but also a number of valuable essays upon phases of our political life such as the Taming of the Tariff Commission by the protected interests it was supposed to control and to regulate, and a brief tribute to the value of investigations carried on by the Senate.
