we generally attribute to Negro

scious exaggeration, or at least over
emphasis, excessive imagery and rhe-
torical color. We cannot credit this

that Scottish simplicity has overcome

of his race, so that he would no"

remains no ground for regret. Rather
Is il a cause for congratulation that
q man thus brought up amid the white
race can enjoy all the advantages OF
such training, and yet readily enter
into the most intimate sympathy with
his own race, from which he was so
cstranged. A man born and bred in
the heart Of the South could not be
more fully in touch with the Negro

Primitive man did not, and does not

Another result OF the assumption by
primitive peoples Of the close com,
munity Of nature between man ana
animals and inanimate objects Is
found in the traditions, when sur
vived even in classical Greece, tnat the
earliest ancestors of certain families
were beasts. and even trees. Among
our own Indians, the Osages claim
descent from snail and beaver, the
Ojibways from a pair of cranes, trans
formed by the Great Spirit INTO men
and women. In the Pacific Ocean there
is an island whose inhabitants claim
descent from a porcuplne hsh. CON
nected with these traditions in Poly
nesia is the prevalent belief that men,
on dying, assume the shape OF these
earliest animal ancestors, whence the
tabu that protects them. Medicine

BrieuI. limo. pp. L. $50. Brentano'
OF the three plays in this volume
"Tbe Red Robe" Is of most Importance,
because Mr.. Mall has succeeded IN
adapting the complicated legal system
of France to the understanding OF
English and American readers AND the
atregoers. This is undoubtedly the
most dramatic of the authors plays,
the one best adapted to production IN
the theatre. An attack on certain evils
in the French maglstracy and IN French
criminal procedure, IL tells at the same
time a poignant human story ot IN
Justice and the ruin of an innocent
woman's life. At bottom the situation
dealt with Is sufficiently familiar IN
this country. Stated in terms OF our
own. the plot is concerned with a
Public Prosecutor who, through lack
Of influence in the proper quarters, mas
for years been passed over in the
awarding, of promotions. He IS an
honest man, but when, in Basque
murder case which creates sensation,
his INSCRIPTIONS assistant offers TO
find the murderer at any cost, he IS
tempted and consents. He must estab-
lish n record. So an innocent woman
is arrested, a case is made out against
her. but at the trial the Public Prose
cutor's conscience revolts. He refuses
to 60 on with the case, the woman is
set free-but her life is ruined. The
one false step of her life, when she
was a young servant in Paris. has been
brought to light by the investigation
of her record; her husband has re-
pudiated her and taken her children
from her In a final scene she de-
mands justice of the assistant prose-
cutor. lie declares that justice owes
hex nothing, since it has acknowledged
its mistake. She kills him, and the
curtain falls.
woman on Her Own" deals with
what is already O past stage of the
struggle for her economic indepen-
dence. In his brief preface Brieux
declares that the play is unknown in

think it advisable, reproduce in its
entirety a text which certain timidities
have led me to emasculate." His thesis
that tho establishment OF woman's
status as worker would be mostly a
question of the education Of the men

try, at least, without the disturbances
which Brieux foresaw. The war has
opened new and more complex chap

ton. No man saw more clearly than
he the faults, the weaknesses and the
limitations Of the Negroes. Happily
he saw with equal clarity their zeal
needs and their possibilities.
He was not one of those who eX-
pect all things in an hour, or VINO
think that the influences OF centuries
Of bondage and degradation can be
overcome in q generation. He there
fore never sought to thrust his race
as a whole or individually into place
for which it was unpreparod. Neither
did he rage violently against the
wrongs which he saw inflicted upon
it even after its nominal emancipa-
ton and enfranchisement. He felt
keenly the practical withdrawal Of the
suffrage and the other determinations
against the Negro. But his answer to
them was TO make increased exertions
for such progress as would irreslstDly
demonstrate their injustice. The Negro
must, he held, win recognition, NOT by
demanding it, but by deserving it..
DR.. Washington's autobiographical
writings are familiar TO this public.
Now it is a good thing to have a com.
prehensive and critical biography OF
him written by another, by a white
man and a Southerner. Such
work should certainly be free from
too great prediction for its subject
and from any inclination toward
grandiose exploitation of him. The
present volume is thus free. At the
same time II is written with q sym
pathetic insight such as no man OF
Washington's own race could sur7ass.
The founder and for third of cen
tury the head of Tuskegee is fortunate
in his biographer, and both races are
fortunate in having so broad minded
an interpreter of the problems OF their
relationship. There is little OF incl
dent or humor in the book, and little
10 make it popular" in the superficial
sense of that abused word. But for
a thoughtful, serious, instructive and
convincing exposition Of the life and
works of one of the most interesting
and useful Americans Of our timo IT
is worthy Of the highest praise and OF
the widest commentator.
Mr.. Corrothers is a typical Northern
"Negro," whose associations have been
at least as much with whites as with
the blacks. lie was born free. in
state which had never known the faint
of human slavery, among q people, in
odious. His ancestors were black. red
and white Negro, Indian and Scotch
Irish; a strange mixture. Since the
possession of a minority strain OF
African blood caused him to be
classed as q Negro, he cheerfully &C
cepts that status, and, in spite Of the
handicap, has proved himself the peer
of other men.
He has been a bootblack and a
prizefghter, a poet and a preacher. In
that brief statement is suggested the
varied and interesting range Of the
narrative which he here sets forth.
1t is pure autobiography, in the first
person from beginning to end. and IL
is crowded on every page with Incl
dent and action, nearly all of personal
experience and observation. For two
things it is noteworthy. One Is the
easy, conversational grace of its style.
There is nothing about it stilted,
