DEMOCRACY. BY Shaw Desmond. Serb.
ner's.
Shaw Desmond is a new English
writer, and his publishers tell US in a
note that he has been active in the
labor and Socialist movement in Eng
land. We would hardly need to be told
that, because we feel at once the auto
biographical qualities of the hero. The
work is deeply felt and intensely sin
cere, and 1T seems ungracious to criti-
else IL IN any way-that is, it seems
ungraclous for me to criticisc it, in as
much as l have been trying to do the
same sort of thing all my own life. But
now it appears am the reader and not
the author, and l see the matter from a
different point of view; so can say
about Mr.. Desmond what my own crit
les have said about me-that there is
not very much to his love story; that it
is evident that he is not especially in
terested in the women characters nor
in anything at all except the propa-
ganda and the movement, and this
movement, you understand, is a Social
lst movement; it is not the movement
of story.
Mr.. Desmond has tried to do a very
difficult thing, and when you realize
how difficult it is you can admire his
partial success. He has tried to interes t
you in great mass event He has tried
to make democracy his hero and to
show one of the great convulsions of
this hero's life. He introduces us. un-
der very thin DISCUSSES, to most of the
we'll known radical leaders in England.
He lets us see these leaders in quick
paragraphs, done in mprcssionistc,
even futuristic, fashion. We get the
feeling Of these men. rather than their
actual experience. 1t happens that
know personally a goodly number of
the people Mr.. Desmond describes, but
there were so many of them that l
couldn't keep them straight as l read
through the story. 1t was easy to re-
member that "John Bclch" was John
Burns and that the "Duchcss of Chill
ington' was Lady Warwick; but then
besides that there were Hyndman and
Hardie and Larkin and Victor Gryson--
a whole row of them. I don't suppose
the English notions of propriety would
have permitted Mr.. Desmond to call

The Hvgenic Habits of Heroines

How do hcroines live and move and
have their being? Is the astounding
vitality with which they are invari-
ably endowed, whenever they are not
dying of consumption, due to any iini-
table mode Of life? Authors are alto
ycthcr too non-commital on this point.
1t is a question which has always in
terested us profoundly, because, in our
humble way, we admire heroines and
strive to be as like them as frcckles
and an imperfect temper and consti-
tuition will permit. In the stories
which we began to read shortly after
the age of paper dolls we we're
panied to note that in some period of
each novel the heroine rushed to the
threw it open. thus revealing her un-
hygienic habit of sleeping with it
shut al! night (not to mention the
danger Of taking cold as she stood
there in her nightgown). Perhaps it
was this habit whick made her so sus-
ceptible to the before emcntioned con-
sumption when the plot cot snar!cd up.
By the time we reached college hero
ines were a very outdoor type, Richard
Harding Davis helping considerably.
But even that did not make them any
the less exasperating when they bobbed
up serenely at the end Of the most
horrible trials with perfect complex
ion, and not even sick headache to
pay Do they ever have stoma-we
mean, do they ever eat too heartily?
We fancy not, though we do recall
stirring chapter in the "Old Wives
Tale" where Sophias mother tried to
force medicine upon her. But Sophia
TO Gof loI
Austen was very daring, for her time
She allowed the sister of one of her
heroines to have a cold. 1t seemed to
be a real cold, too.-what we should
call the flu But of course its pur-
pose was to keep the adorable Eliza
beth Bennett on at the house party
till Darcy fell in love with her, and
Elizabeth never caught the cold nor
began to snecZe and water at the eyes
just as Darcy began getting romantic,
as a girl in real life would have done.
lieroines have a way of avoiding these
things. 1t may be that they take tons
of patent cold destroyers secretly, but
we never know. Outside of these scat
tering "reminiscences, we have only two
outstanding hygienic impressions
gained fom our novel reading-one, that

Speaking-as we were-of the great
popular interest in literary supple

cynical publisher pointed the discus

Walter Pate-

The recent issue of a group Of
Pater's sketches by Boni & Iiveright
calls to mind that of this master
stylist no satisfactory biography ex-
lists. Mr.. Benson, Mr.. Wright and Ed
ward Thomas have assayed this unique
writer, and a short symposium with
critical tendencies was offered some
years ago by Ferris Greenslet, but he
remains still the will-o'- -the-wisp of lit
erary fields
Here is man, dead these past twen-
tytve years, the Flaubert of English
letters, and the worthiest insight we
have to his work is twenty -fve-page
essay of Edward Dowden. 1t is signiti-
cant to me. There are men who could
do it Goose for one), but all we have
are Two volumes of taradidde and a
couple of faithful attempts that fall
short of the mark
Many myths and sentimental trump
cry have been coupled with his life at
Oxford. The apple-green tie and tall
hat-poetical debauches at graveyard
shrines- always so much Of this sort
of thing when the works of the man,
rejecting as they do the innate con-
sciousness of spiritual tendencies
beautifully. coldly dispassionate, de-
mand so much serious consideration.
When will Pater be redscovered =?
Despite the antinomianism so predom-
inant in his work, | cannot agree with
those whose excuse is that of super
ticiality and whose critical dismissal
savors frequently of the same. Mature
reflection cannot always be measured
in years. A quarter of century is
but step in thought-quite possibly
the reason lies just mere.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR CAGING
CREW AMONG BANKERS; MANY MEN
OF EXPERIENCE BE "A VALUABLE

With 1919 baseball having passed
into history and with this years foot
ball season rocking along toward mid
die age, there appears on the hori-
2on the premilinaries of what has
the general slant of busy basket
ball season for Chickasha.
The athletic directors at the Chick
asha high school have too much to
worry about to give any considerable
amount of thought to the caging sea-
son as yet They have FL Reno and
Norman to beat on the gridiron be
fore the turkey hash is all gone, but
that don't keep the Independent
teams from figuring on what and how
they are going to wallop all comers.
In Chickasha, chief among the
caging contenders at this stage, is
the team that is being organized by
the bankers Of the city. This outfit
is to be made up of string Of old
heads, plus some likely material that
has yet to toss its first goal but
which tossing, judging from outward
appearance will not be an entirely
difficult proposition.
Jess Dempsey, Shafter Bailey and
Louis Gardner are the mentors for
the bankers crew. Dempsey has had

low high quintet and was guard on
that machine when 1t played the OK,
lahoma university five to a $3.50
split. Shafter Bailey's claim to fame
is justified by the fact that he was
a forward on the Rush Springs high
team when that aggregation practi-
cally made it unanimous over all
comers and in exhibition games with
0. U. played that squad to a dead
heat in four games. He was for two
years the choice on the all-state bas-
ket ball squad. Louis Gardner's ex-
perience comes from his service with
the Chickasha high school where he
was tower OF strength on the de.
fense and a veritable nightmare to
the opponents.
In addition, there is J. d. Armour

ence tossing baskets for the Central
State normal at Edmond. He is ex
pected to fill one of the important
jobs on the bankers five. Also, Clyde
McCauley and Roy Cornwen two
husky lads who survived intensive
training in the army of Uncle Sam
and grew hard as nails thereby, will
be candidates for berths on the team.
Neither have had extensive expert

ence but both are expected to be
good material All these lads are
employees of the various banks of the
city and unless forced to do so, the
plan is not to go outside OF the
money barns to acquire material for
the team
Strong contenders for jobs with the
outfit win be Albert Shockley and
Paul Hayes. Shockley has had his
knees and elbows skinned up in
many battle and was basket ball
coach at Edmond during his career
on the court. Hayes has had expert
ence with the Chickasha high school,
playing at the center, position for the
local school. E4t3t#bE
And that amt all Not only will
the bankers have a classy bunch Of
basket ballers, but they boast a mas
cot who has pulled hair in many a

and gold of the Chickasha high. Said
mascot is none other than Miss Ed

fit.
