Iron Reedy's Mirror
Life has loveliness 70 sell
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on cliff,
Climbing fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loneliness 10 sell
Music like a curve Of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirits still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loneliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year Of strife well lost,
And for a breath Of ecstasy
Give all you have been or could be.

A Brand New Type

To take part in the creation and dcg clop-
met of such institutions viii be the coming
work of every American. It is there that our
mixed citizenship can frd its common demon
inator. Not by a melting pot, snappy, ready
made clothing and scientific management
will we coalesce. In the work of building we
shall come together, and the parable Of the
Tower Of Babel will be reversed, for men %
many tongues and traditions viii find their
common language in the creation Of a COM
nonwealth Of free institutions. In all former
history the state was created by war. In dc
fence, destruction and death men found union.
It is conceivable that the new union viii be
found in constructive enterprise, in life and
JOY Unlike the old blood-bought, bitter
unity, the new union will grant to each mem
Der diversity and freedom. The scene Of such
an experiment offers drama more intense than
the European shambles.
But institutions and scenery and traditions
are weak in memory beside the thought OF
one's own kind Of people. That is what his
folks. The chance talk and the good will in
their eyes; the twang, the slang, the afee-
tionate curve OF the voice; the homely, direct
manner-no background and a lot Of hope
these are what one never finds away from
home. We have produced brand new type OF
man in America, and no one of Us Who ever
met Mark Twain and Wilbur Wright and
Dwight Moody fails to realize that in such as
these our country came to Incarnation.

One who has been far away from home dur
ing most of the last three years, living with
men whose spiritual life Is intense, because Of
danger and sacrifice, finds the need OF dehn-
ing clearly to himself what he means when he
says he is an American. Meeting constant
and penetrating criticism and learning to de-
fend ones own suddenly and often, ono comes
to sharpencd and clarified conceptions Of his
home country.
What miss over here is the hearty, TAXA
tive. natural equality which some unspoLcd
portions Of our population still retain. J
didn't find il in the huddlcd, driven masses OF
Bayonne and Pittsburgh, and don't find 1t IN
New York clubs But I do find il in rich
abundance in walking trips through Maine,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Texas. And it IS ma
tive product. That absence OF arrogance and
servility that humorous good-fellowship, one
misses in the triple watertight compartments
Of the European community. In opening con-
ycrsation over here, an soon hushed into
silence By the "sir" Of tie serving classes,
and the slightly panied surprise Of "honor-
ary" secretaries, gentlemen" drivers and
chance acquaintance. want to be free and

The Great Woods
Another thing I miss is the setting Of our
American life in the natural world. NO

Lake District or the pink sunset on 'he snow
Of the Tyrolean Alps compensates me for the
scenery where | Lived my youth. There Is
nothing that brings longing like. those re-

smell Of burning leaves in the autumn as IL

the scent Of pine needless the sough Of wind

Grotesque patterns of blue-gray mould

Downialling hke tremuloua flakes

Old Women Picking Dandelior
Greens

From Con cIHporory verso
Down in the April meadows you may sec
them
So trcmulous. black bonneted and bent,
Plucking with shaking hands the golden
wonders
Whose glories on the countryside arc spent.
o they are old and they ha had their
Maying;
Their heads arc noddng, they walk heavily.
Yet through their sleeping senses still is
strayng
The scent Of violets, OF rosemary.
Some idly pause and loiter by the brookside.
"Dick courted me; Tom tuned his whistle
there"
And in that merciful and kindly mirror.
Behold their faces, fower-young and fair.
Vision IS theirs sweet fresh and unattended,
For on the greying rocks beside the hill
They dream. they wander in celestial
meadows
And every angel holds dafodl!

The Romance of Pioneering
At distance, one feels romance in the
American tradition. It slants up into poetry.
What the sea saga is 70 the English our
pioneering days are 20 Us. Our American
tradition was created in historical events,
such as the successive work Of trappers, gold
hunters and irrigation men. The explorer,
the cowboy. the forester, the civil engineer in
unbroken territory arc a passing race; but
they have touched US all in their passing, and
the record Of them * legendary in our race
tradition. This tradition in our people of
hardhood and zest in pioneering was capt
ured for all time by Walt Whitman, and I
ind no other single book so necessary away
from home as the full collected poems. The
same tradition is being lightly and breezlly
caught up by our recent school Of adventure
writer's Jack London, Bower, Kyne and the
rest. James Stephens, the Irish novelist, said
TO me that America is making a new contrbu-
ton to literature in the outdoor adventure
stories Of the Popular Magazine" and the
like. He told NE that these stories we're
widely read in Ireland and had taken hold Of
the Imagination Of the race. That pioneering
tradition is as distinctive, ss much our very
own, as the background OF glory" is the pos
session of the French But never knew how
deep it lay in consciousness till came three
thousand miles from it and tried to tell
strangers what excuse American had for
existing.
