even new women, does not go beyond
the ratorical limit There are many
Tom Grogans in the weSt-women who
SOW and reap and manage farms, but
none of them is a pugilist- There is
probably no pugilistic Tom Grogan on
Staten Island.
Tom Grogan prospers much more
than her husband. The Stevedores
union is forever harassing her because
she employs "scabs." They burn her
barn and ill-treat her children, but she
bears up through it with splendid char
acter, and finally triumphs over them.
There are two exquisite dramatic
touches in the book. One comes about
through strike inaugurated against
a brewery. Tom has been awarded
contract by the brewery. The union
announces to the proprietor of the
brewery that Tom is non-uniOn and
the contract must be withdrawn The
brewer refuses. The men in the brew
cry make arrangements TO walk out.
desires to win over the union. Defeat
to her would be humiliation. But a
woman, a ragged, starved, hollow-eyed
wife of one of the union men comes to
Tom Grogan and tells her of the miser-
les she and her husband have passed
through. How he has been out Of
work for months and months because
he was a scab; and now having Joined
the union and at last secured work in
the brewery he is to be ordered out by
the union in sympathetic strike" to
bring the brewers to time and make
them rescind the contract. The wo-
mans appeal reaches Tom Grogan's
heart and she surrenders the contract
and the strike is ended.
The other scene is when it at last
reaches the union that Mr.. Tom Grogan
does not really exist; that he died the
night he was ''hurted" seven years be-
fore and that Mrs. Grogan has all the
time been using his name Illegally.
When they take this TO court to over
throw her contracts, Tom Grogan gives
down. The sustaining name,' the sus-
tanning knowledge that she was TO the
world the representative of Tom
Grogan and the guardian of his family,
the prop that among her men She was
Tom Grogan's immediate agent all
tuble and her spirits went with them.
and this ''new woman of the steve
doTes broke down and cried.
The story is charming one. There
is no rinsel about it and very little liter
airy "gumbO." 1t simply tells prob
able story of probable woman in a
graceful gentle way and warns the
readers to all it's lovable characters

nous, very gentle, very kind, very
superior, very important But the
Evening Post, the Times-Herald and
the other papers which now makes
these declarations will break away
from them. 1t will not be two months
until they will be abusing not the silver
man of the west, but the west as q
whole. The west is not made up OF
idiots All men who advocate the
free coinage of silver do not wear long
hair and carry revolvers. The Popu-
lists Of Kansas do not all have straw
in their hair. The eastern papers Ali
support editorial writer's and artists
who have no more idea nj regard TO the
west than a chicken has about the
Roentgen ray. The west has been
ridiculed and nisrepresented for years
just as the south has. In certain hu-
morous publications in New York City
the American farmer, and usually the
western farmer. is never mentioned IN
less it is in ridicule of his mental abil-
ity. Puck and Judge depict the Amer
lean farmer as a fool. The bright,
witty things that are said are from the
sleek groomed sons and daughters OF
the eastern rich, progeny who the west
knows thoroughly border on a condition
of mind not much better than common
dudley.
The farm is not exalted. Today it is
made by the misrepresentation of the
eastern press, the home of a serf who
is only mentioned 30 amuse the world
at his ignorance.
The eastern papers have long drawn
the western farmer as sucker. With
corn. wheat and pork falling, the west
ern farmer has come to the conclusion
that the eastern papers may be right.
But he will listen to the eastern argyll
ments for the gold standard. II they
convince him, he will vote on that side.
But he will also expect the usual
amount of abuse, the abuse and ridi-
Guile which make hundreds of boys in
the city hesitate TO say they were
raised on a farm when they should be
proud to declare it. He will expect
the abuse because it is the stock in
trade of the funny man and the polit-
ical editorial writer of the large papers,
and they cannot write on the west
without it.
