BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE

A novel of the Middle West
written in the generous, leisurelv
ruminative style of the early Vic
torians. His success has
been remarkable. The hero
Of the story is. indeed. rather Syca-
more Ridge making itself city out
Of the barbarous West, rather the
gradual awakening conscience OF the
nation, troubled by magnificent
crimes unregarded by the law, than
John Barclay piling up his unscrupu-
lous millions. And yet
Mr. White has shown a surprising
power OF relating his Sycamore
Ridge TO the national past, present,
and future, and of making it mirror
IN some sort the developing char
, acter OF the entire country. He tells
the truth unwinkingly, but with the
reassuring poise and geniality OF
those who in the most dubious times
believe in. slowly bettering world"
