THE "HARDsCRABBLE" VIEW

HARL STEWARD, chairman of the
N "Hardscrabble" viewers, is right
both in deciding to give the prop
erty owners full time to prepare their
testimony and when he insists upon an
early closing of the negotiations. Ger
tsinly there can be no good in delaying
beyond the date set in June for final
hearing.
Nothing is to be gained by delay. It
has been decided that 'Hardscrabble"
must go. The sooner, then, the better;
always keeping in mind, however, fair
play and proper treatment for the
property owners.
All that the owners can expect is
that the city shall pay them we'll for
the land taken. There should be no
quibbling on the city's part, and on
the other hand there should be no
effort to procure unreasonably high
prices. There ought to be no more
difficulty in arriving at conclusions in
this instance than there is when two
private citizens come together to dis
cuss a real estate transfer. 1t is i'm
possible to find excuse for long delay
and Mr.. Steward has assumed a proper
attitude in deciding to waste no time
in concluding the hearings.

What has become of the old New
England stock that founded America
Are the Anglo-SaXons lying down on
their job, as Penelope said Still Jim
was doing? These questions lie back
of Mrs. Willsie's new novel Still
Jim"-a thoroughly democratic and
significant American novel.
Still Jim is the engineer in charge
of the big irrigation dam the Reclama-
ton Service is building in Arizona. He
is heart and soul in the work; he
wants to prove that descendants of the
old Americans still have big parts to
play in developing the country. He
has seen his people driven from the
lands where they were born, by South
ern Europeans with no conception of
our ideals. But he is the silent kind
who cannot explain himself and his
work. So the farmers, Jealous about
their small interests and ignorant of
the far-reaching value of the project,
are easily manipulated by the big in
terests' who care for nothing except
more power for themselves. jim has
big fight on his hands.
1t is a woman who makes ii come
out right. Penelope shows Still Jim
that his job means more than turning
the desert into orchards and fields.
He must be more than a trail-maker.
1t is his responsibility to show the
farmers how to govern the empire he
is creating.
The brooding desert, the Indians
haunting the lands of their fathers, a
dozen minor characters of East and
West, real as life, enrich the exciting
action of Still Jim" and enhance the
color and humanness which put Mrs.
Willsie in the list of American writ
ers that really count.
