1884. Denver was the stormcenter
and Joseph r. Buchanan was evident
ly In the vortex of the whirlwind.
Viyidly the author pictures the climax
of affairs which brought to him daily
threats of lynching, how he had to
barricade himself in his printing office
and have a company of rifemen ready
TO render aid at an instant's warning.
Buchanan the agitator had become
Buchanan the rioter.
The narrative contains further some
interesting inside history of the rise
of the Knights OF Labor, its temporary
success and final overthrow by the
federated trades and labor unions.
That fanatica1, senni4secialistic. semi
anarachieal society known as the In
ternational, which fiourished at about
the same time as the Haymarket
bomb-throwtng episode in Chicago,
and of which Buchanan, was a MEM
Der, is made the subject of the few
confidential disclosures on his part.
All in all, Buchanan's book falls
short of the more sober and broader
work on Organized Labor" by John
Mitchell. 1t should be read together
with Mitchell's book, however. so that
the whole history of the trades union
movement may be presented chrono-
logically.

held In San Francisco in 1886, when the
passions of his listeners were aroused
TO the pitch Of frenzy and he himself
was lashed into a fury by his own
words-hcw at that crucial moment he
urged the audience TO rise en- nasse,
conhscate a train to carry them to
Washington, and there "hurl the whole
treacherous swarm (CcngresSC into the
Potomac"
Buchanan's narrative Is not brought
down to present day incidents, for II Is
to be surmlsed that his sway as la
Dor leader was on the wane shortly
after the decline of the Knights OF
Labor movement. The story opens
with the author a typesetter upon
country paper in Missouri and later
member of the Typographical Union in
Denver. Hardly had the principles of
the rights of labor seeped into the
head of young Buchanan when the
Leadville Miners Union went on
strike. The novitiate in the labor
world leaped into fame from the sum-
nit of packing box situated in the
middle Of the main street, which served
as his nightly rostrum in the harangues
to which he gave voice. AS result Of
his ardor Buchanan was lauded to the
skies by the labor element and threat
ened with lynching by the Law and
Order League.
Somewhat lacking in modesty though
it may be, the recountal of the authors
famine years while editing a paper in
the interests of labor bears the stamp
of sincerity. Living in a single room
behind his press shop, setting up his
editorials direct from the case without
precious time being spent in writing
them first, starving for months at a
time Buchanan certainly proved him
self a self-sacrificing servant Of the
laborer. Bitterly does the author COM
plain upon the heartless lack Of sup
port which his paper received from the
people in whose interests it was pub
lished. That this attitude drove the
harassed editor to pessimistic thoughts
occasionally is evidenced by his refiec-
tions upon those dark days.
More than once I lost hope" says
he, that the wrongs of labor would
ever be righted by peaceable means.
The workingmen could not be made to
appreciate the power the ballot gave
them; they were, it seemed to me, slow
to take advantage OF the opportunities
opened to them by labor organizations.
aud 1 sometimes thought that the ma
jority Of them were not only too stupid
to raise themselves, but too weak to
stand If raised by others" This COM
mentary upon the status Of the labor
ing man twenty years ago is instruct
i've in the light of present day labor
conditions.

matte in the recountal Of the critical
time of the great Rio Grande strike OF

Piner, by means Of the muscles and
nerves, physically transmit them
selves to the face. 1t is through this
that men are generally what they
seem and that "the body is the drama

evading the fact that persistent, beau

harmony and then illuminates them
with beauty.
There is nothing very startling about
the authors theories. There is no great
attempt at a scientific proof for them.

- LITTLE book OF poems or more
II than ordinary worth has just
l come from the pen of John G.
Jury, young barrister of local
reputation. So unusual is it to
find Blackstone and poesy hand in
hand that Jury's verse will be read
with curious interest
Omar and FitzGerald,' the most pre-
tentious verse of the collection and
the one from which the booklet de-
rives its title, is unfortunately not the
best between the covers. In his pref
ace the lawyer gets the better of the
poet and brief argument is advanced
to demonstrate the causus vivendi of
Omar and FitzGerald." Jury under
takes to explain that he takes excep-
ton to old Omar's pessimistic views of
life and that his lines seek to read
into the secret of the Persian philoso-
pher-poet little optimism. Were one
to read the poem without the predatory
key to the meaning he would feel very
much like the sick man who thought
that his brain had weakened because
he could not understand Browning.
The thought in this poem is clouded
by an overweening desire to initiate
the verse form and diction Of the Ru-
baiyat.
But it is when the verse writer al
lows himself to be natural and does
not follow after chosen gods that his
poetic power is manifested most ad-
vantageously. A strong faith and sin
cere belief that
Gods in his heaven:
Ais right with the world"
these are the dominant thoughts in
Jury's verse. They lend to his poems
a simple strength which compels ad-
miration. For example, the following
ode on Might rings true:
Hail. beauteous Night Queen of Eternity.
Before whose mansions all the white stars lie
Like stepping stones across the chasmed sky
Reflected where walk, in depths see
The lights and temples OF infnity.
Most Mighty Father what in truth am
And with Omnipotence encompass me?

Outstretch and lock the day In their embrace,
So rapturously. do i into hour

Here may meet thy angels, face to face,
Where holy night revealeth Grace and Power.

there are few which voice the love

and legitimate expositions of
abstruse by-paths of thought. Works
upon psychic phenomena, the rela-
ton of mind to matter, Of the body to
the spirit, etc, are looked upon with
a well-founded caution by well-bal-
anced readers. They SAVIOR too much
of the mediums cabinet and spirit
whisperings to recommend themselves.
Either that, or they are too often
found to be without cause for exist
ence; merely ponderous arguments
which lead you back to the starting
point after dizzy ramifcations.
Therefore it will be with a par
donable suspicion that the reader ap-
proaches Builders of the Beautiful"
by H. L. Piner. This gentleman,
however, has not produced a book Of
eharlatanism or a reference reader
for spirit mediums, but has made a
worthy attempt to read into the flesh
ly form Of human kind the workings
of the soul. He would have a beau
tiful body the abiding place of beau
tiful soul. He would teach an ethical
physical culture.
According to the theory OF Mr.. Piner
man is the only creature of culture, and
evolution of mind is also evolution OF
body. Since Platos day it has been
recognized that a beautiful and cul-
tured mind seeks always and only an
equally beautiful body, or in other
words a thoughtful, introspective mind
manifests itself In a beautiful face and
form. The builders and leaders OF
every country have been among the
most beautiful and cultured types,
just as the destroyers and criminals
have been among the ugliest and most
degrading specimens. These are mat
ters of common knowledge and are in
complete accordance with the teach
ings of physiognomy.
Mr. Piner's aim has been to stimu-
late thought and self-examination and
to illustrate by well chosen methods
the connection between mental char
acteristics and emotions and the exter-
nal bodily appearances. Incidentally
he wishes to inculcate spiritual estheti-
cism and better ideals in life.
A persons character is always de-
picted In his face, which Is a simple
book for those who can interpret 1t.
Mr. Piner amplifies this in the follow
ing manner:
Your body is the dramatization Of
your soul. 1t holds the tragedies and
the comedies Of life.
"An evil spirit chooses ugly external
forms. A beautiful spirit seeks always
and only to illumine the organism It
inhabits.
Form cannot be the form OF moth
ing. Your visible appearance Is but
an outward actualization Of your in
ner life.
THE canon OF correspondence OF the
physical with the spiritual IS a statute
of being, unchanged and Interchangeable,
and illustrated wherever mind weds IT.
self to matter.
When the psychic forces are out Of
harmony with the sources of their
power and the laws Of their existence
they invariably deform their physical
supports When they are in adjust
ment with the ideal the divine stands
transfgured in the flesh and the mortal
is glorified of the immortal"

hesitated over the title of his work
Confessions would not have been
aniss in the place of story" for the
author is as ingenious about laying
bare the stock in trade of a professional
agitator as he is earnest in setting
forth the rightful province of such an
individual in modern economic condi-
tions.
To state that Buchanans book is
timely would be but giving expression
to the obvious. So much has been writ
ten in the dismal science" of econom-
les, as Carlyle was pleased to call it,
about the theory of capital and labor
and so little there is Of all that which
has real common sense application to
present day conditions that to have the
momentous crux Of the modern indus
trial question approached from the
other point of view-even the radical
points undoubtedly a valuable accre-
tion to the mass Of opinion which has
been heaped up against the great rid
die. The work of this labor agitator
cannot be considered in any light as
deliberate and dispassionate attempt to
harmonic the hostile pretensions OF
employer and employe-the tone of ev-
cry nne indicates that such a mission
was far from the authors mind; what
Buchanan aims to do and what he has
admirably succeeded in doing is to
present the business Of a labor cham
pion, his aims and his methods.
Whether deliberately or unwittingly
the author Of these confessions or this
autobiography, whichever you choose to
call it, has uncovered to the uninitiated
many Of the primal weaknesses of such
as he which indubitably make for the
ultimate failure of his efforts. Chief
among these is the constant tendency
toward the radical in action-even
near approach to the red flag. In one
