Life of DR.. Mabie

THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF HAMIL-
TON w. MABIE. BY Edwin ". Morse
Published By Dodd. Mead d: Co
DR. MABIE was graduated from
Williams College, intending to
practise law. After eight years of
the law Mabie found more congenial
work with DR.. Lyman Abbott in his
two periodicals, The Christian Union
and The Outlook. Mabie's popularity
began with series of essays, my
Study Fire"
In 1912 Mabie found his chief emf
nence in his appointment by the Car
negie Endowment for International
Peace to lecture at the Imperial Uni
versity at Toxic. The chapter devoted
to this time of life, the letters it
contains, fail singularly to record any
impression of the impact on Mabie's
mind Of so alien a culture or a politi-
cal outlook. It records perfunctorily
memoranda of sightseeing, and Mabie's
sole reactions to Eastern culture seem
to consist Of epistolary passages like
these:

THE SOUL OF JOHN BROWN BY Stephen
Graham. Published by Macmillan.
e YTEPHEN GRAHAM, the English
~M journalist, has come to this coun-
try, attracted by the problem of
the South. Now that problem,
with its racial and historical co1nplexi-
ties, is not one which we will easily
grant to be within TIE understanding of
foreigner. But Graham seems to have
prepared himself for the inevitable
criticism by a really extraordinary as
similation of the vital factors in the
problem. With a good deal of intelli-
gence he perccves that no survey of
the South can be sound which has not
historical perspective, and he views
it rightly by the irradiations in either
direction from the fame point al
Harper's Ferry This it is which gives
his book the title, The Soul Of John
Brown.
Graham is a clergyman and he has
the unfortunate tendency of his cloth
to speak with good deal of assurance
on souls. 1t may be remembered how
quantity he reasoned the nature of the
soul of Russia. The Russian (he spoke
through his dispatches to a we'll known
English newspaper in the carly days
of the mobilization and the revolution)
has been ennobled and spiritualized by
suffering. He has, therefore, a special
gratitude to the Cars under whom he
has suffered and been cnnobled so
greatly which will keep him always
faithful
1t may be that his miscalculation in
the matter of the Russian character
has had christening influence. At any
rate. the mysticism and sentimentality
which dfTused his Russian reports are
absent from this book, and with that
restraint there is ample evidence of
the fact that Graham is an exceedingly
able and clear-sighted reporter.
He keeps to the main issue Of re-
porting-to the objective facts Of ex-
istence for the negro in various zones
of the South. In Virginia he found the
exasperations of the problem less
acute than in any other part of the
South. The whole South, he says,
masses itself behind Virginia, where
conditions of the negro are really ex-
cellent But this is hardly fair, be-
cause the circumstances of. the negros
existence in Virginia are, and always
have been, exceptional 1t has been a
state of gentry, landed gentry which
maintained in the past a patriarchal
form of existence, and which to-day is
still free from industrialization. Tho
relation of negroes TO white has always
been that Of personal service and was
and is for the most part q kindly one.
Further South the whites were of q
different sort, conditions were moro
coarscly industrial and the negro was
and Is to-day more brutally exploited.
His line of investigation took him
through Virginia down through Ten
nessce, along the 30O-mie march Of
General Sherman from Atlanta to tho
sea and down as far as Alabama.
In all the cities he came upon massea
of negro population which, in vary

LOGAN cOuNTY'S VOTE.

BY all the rules OF precedent in
southern West Virginia, Logan
county, the scene of the greatest
coal development and tceming with
a new population of many thou
sands of coal miners from the four
corners of the earth, should have
become Republican county long
ago. But not only has it kept the
Democratic flag afloat in the past,
but this year, next to Jefferson
county, gives the largest Democrat
ic majority in thc State. Logan
county gave Arthur B. Koontz,
Democratic candidate for Governor
a plurality of 1854 over E F.
Morgan. Republican nominee, and
2,6l6 over Sam Montgomery, Nom
Partisan candidate. Governor Cox
carried the county over Senator
Harding by 1884. For Congress
McNcal, Democrat, had majority
of 1928 over Goodykoontz, Rcpub-
lican, in Logan county.
