Mr.. Bronson Howard's ambition has
o'erleaped itself, and falls because his
indictment of society is based on moth
ing more solid than familiarity with
New York's underworld and its upper
broadway outlet In addition, he is
victim of "the Russlans"-of Dostoiev-
sky more by token, it seems. That
great novelist's philosophy of life is
perhaps best summed up in the French
proverb that tout comprendre, c'est
tout pardonner.r Before one can
understand one must know. And since
this young American disciple of the
Russian knows nothing of life except
the one small section of it just speci-
fed, the result is that, not understand
ing the true inwardness of its muddle,
he believes that everything can be put
right by being turned upside down. As
a Russian revolutionary the hero Of
this book might be understandable. As
an American insurgent he is sadly con-
fused and sadly confusing. The soul
of Detective McKiss seems to be taken
direct from the Slav world. And, last
ly-another result of an undigested
study of Russian models-the book is
exasperatingly prolix.
There remain the pictures of the
underworld, which revolve around the
smuggling and sale of opium by out
wardly respectable citizens at one end,
and by woman fence and trafficker in
the drug at the other. She is a Rus
sian, her companion an exile blinded by
the mercury of the Czar's Siberian
mines, an anarchist who believes in the
reclamation of society through its
criminal element. There are pickpock-
cts and professional tangoists, kept
women and the creatures they keep,
blackmailers and all the crew who, ac
&C riding to one view Of the muddle, are
the victims Of things as they are. AS
ar insurgent Mr. Bronson Howard is as
yet decidedly immature; as a novelist
he should learn to prune his work.

THE TRAIL OF THE HAWK.

TIE TRAIL OF THE HAWK. A Comedy OF the
Seriousness of Life By Sinclair Lewis l2mo.
pp. 400. Harper 4 Bros.
Mr. Sinclair made his debut with a
clever little comedy of New York life,
Our Mr.. Wrenn." His second story is
planned on a large scale, in the mod
ern manner, beginning with the child
hood of his hero, the son of Scan
dinayian immigrants born in Mime
sofa, and ending with his marriage,
which, of course. suggests the pos
sibility of a sequel, even of trilogy,
after the present mode in our fiction.
Mr.. Lewis makes. however, no an
nouncement of any such intention. In
p. t he succeeds, and in part he fails.
Once his rolling stone settles in New
York with the firm determination of
gathering moss, the interest drops, the
more so as the author draws out this
second part Of the book to excessive
length.
However, this young Norse-Amer-
lean, uncultured. imperfectly educated,
leaves a fresh-water college TO make
his way in the world as packer in a
department store and chauffeur in Chi
cago, as second juvenile in a tent show,
which he leaves on account of threat
ening ENHANCEMENT with the leading
lady, as helper in a Bowery saloon, as

mad built up for itself in the Greco
Roman world before the coming Of
Christianity. Stoicism, according to
| him, represents a way of looking at
the world and the practical problems of
life which possesses a permanent inter-

Municipal Government.
The autobiography of Municipal Gov
ernment" by Professor William BEN
nett-Munro Harvard University Press }
contains about 5000 titles carefully
classified. The compiler has viewed the
held OF municipal government in a
broad way as including all the activi-
ties Of the city, whether political, ad-
ninistrativc, social or economic. Moth
ing has been included, however, which
does not, with the widening social no.
rlzon of to-day, concern the student of
municipal affairs as such. The lists
are comprehensive but discriminating;
they do not aim to include all that has
, been written on the subject of muni-
cipal government in this country, but
only those things which are of present
day interest and of permanent value.
