Negro Writers and Artists
THE publisher of Mr.. Brawley's book

THE publisher of Mr. Brawley's book
Il on the place of the American
negro in literature and art introduces it
as ''the first work formally to study the
literature and art of the negro people"
There is an inaccuracy in that presenta-
ton. 1t is the negro's contribution to
white folks art that is described
broadly, and in the publishers own later
phrase, "to civilization in America"
The contributors discussed are PhiIlis
Wheatlcy, Paul Laurence Dunbar,
Charles W. Chestnut. W. f. Burghardt
Du Bots and William Stanley Braith-
waite, writers; Frederick Douglass and
Booker Washington, orators; Henry o.
Farmer, painter, and Meta Warnock
Fuller, sculptor. There are a lot OF
minors" in these fields, and a number
of negro names that stand for success in
music and the art of the theatre
The impressive thing about this in
teresting book is not that the few better
known names stand for SO meritorious
an achievement, but that there is so large
number of names of negro artists who
have succeeded in gaining recognition un=
qualified by any considerations of racial
color.

Joyce KILMER, killed in action in
- France, was one of the best known
and best loved of the Younger American
poets Through the courtesy of Howard
W. Cook of Moffat, Yard & Co, we print
below letter written not much more than
a month before Kilmer's death. The re-
sponsibility for printing it in full is as
sumed by the editor of Books and the
Book World. 1t seems to I'm too honest
and too interesting to offer otherwise.
In further explanation we should say
that Mr.. Cook is preparing book for fall
publication to be called oar Poets Of To-
day, TO form one of series on living
American writers. 1t was in quest of ma
terial for this volume that he wrote TO Kill
mer asking several questions, which the
soldier poet answers in his letter:

were only the exercises of an amateur,

cred poetry, then became poet in No

Now, as to your other questions. I'll
take them in order
81. What has contemporary American
poetry already accomplished ANSWER
All that poetry can be expected to do is
TO give pleasure of noble sort to its read
ers, leading them to the contemplation of
that Beauty which. neither words nor
sculptures nor pigments can do more than
family to reflect, and TO express the men

Thomas Thatcher, bookseller of Bath,
England, recently celebrated his eightieth
birthday by taking a walk from Bath to
Weston super Mare, a distance of more than
forty miles. II is said of him that from
the day he began in the book business at
IA, he has never lost a day. Sixty years
of continuous service in one occupation is a
record of which any one may be proud. and
shows the healthfulness of the book trade.
Though business is quiet the scouts are
active. A few days ago one of them en-
tered a small book shop on Lexington avenue
snd picked up, for 10 cents, copy of Will
lam Herman Dance Of Death. AS dealers
who know their business usually catalogue
this item at $50, the scout called it days
work. Strange to say, this shop has been
visited regularly by number of scouts,
none of whom have ever reported find Of
any consequence.

There was much guessing at the time OF
the sale of the Bridgewater Comus as to
whom George ID. Smith bought it for. Ii. V.

to be the owner of one of the finest collec

Gen. W. Bladen Lowndes, who has
been mentioned often as a possible
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation to succeed Governor Harring-
ton, seems to be coming to the front
again as a possible nominee. There
does not seem to be much doubt but
that Ex-Governor Goldsborough could
easily distance everybody in his party
and secure the nomination, but he says
he is not candidate, and 1t is certain
that his great influence will be used
for Gen. Lowndes, should the latter
enter the race. Mr.. Weller and the
elements allied with him among the
Republicans, are non-committal as to
their attitude, but l. is generally be-
lieyed that while they may prefer
someone besides Gen. Lowndes, the in
fiuence of State Treasurer Jackson
will probably decide the matter in or

Gen. Lowndes may get the nomination,
should he conclude to enter the race,

WORK FOR ALL

IL looks as IL there will not be
much OF problem. after all. in the re-
turn Of our millions of fighting men to
the economic life OF the country. The
process of ''infiltration," by which
workmen are fed back to Industries as
they are needed, is expected to take
care of all the able-bodied. The COM
paratiyely small number OF disabled
men will have jobs awaiting them, too,
after they have undergone the physical
reconstruction treatment provided by
the Government.
The rehabilitation will be rapid or
slow, according to the requirements of
American business and according TO
the police" requirements abroad. II
appears now that our contonments
will be virtually emptied, and nearly
all the men now in training in the
United States will thus be released. by
the first OF the year. That will provide
about as much labor as industry can
assimilate at this time.
AS normal peace business is re-
sumed, the men will filter in from
abroad. Army men say IL will prob
ably be two years before the last of
them get home. If our business ac-
tivity expands with anything like the
rapidity anticipated by many experts,
there will be no trouble at all in TAX
ing care of them as they come. Some
manufacturers and financiers say we
are more likely TO suffer from a con-
tinued dearth OF labor than from "A
