Sicilian Vistas

by-Paths in Sicily is a profusely IL
lustrated book by Eliza Putnam Heaton
published this week by E. P. Dutton E.
Co.. which will have a magic charm for
all who like intimate accounts of wavs
OF living and kinds of people that are
in absolute contrast to the life to which
they are accustomed Mrs. Heaton
who for many years was we'll known
newspaper woman in New York City
spent considerable time in Sicily in
search Of health, and while there made
such acquaintance with the native
people and gained such knowledge OF
their customs, beliefs and condition
as is quite impossible to the ordinary
tourist. She writes about these things
with a dramatic instinct and an ap.
prcclat!on of their strange and glow
ing color that makes the reader fee
as If he too had climbed the Sicilian
roads by her side and talked with the
old "witch' woman of the marvellous
elf locks, visited the fairs and the fes-
tas, gone into the woods at midnight
to participate in magic rites, helped to
celebrate a peasant wedding. In addi,
ton to these pictures of personal ex-
perlences so unusual as to sound as if
they had come out of some other &c
there is much information about more
open aspects of life and affairs in
Sicily.

American Ideals
Carl Becker Traces Prog
ress of Democracy

~ YER since the Revolution America
IT. has been ~the worlds greatest
laboratory for the working out
Of the democratic experiment. No
large country in history has preserved
the republican form of government
over 80 long period Of years. Through
out the larger part of the nineteenth
century European liberals held up
America as model to be followed,
while conservatives depicted it as q
horrible example to be summed
Professor Carl Becker, of Cornell
University, traces the development h9
American democracy in The United
States: An Experiment in Democracy
(Harper's). The author is fundamen-
tally liberal in his viewpoint. He SYM
pathizes with the Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis as against the Federalists; with
the Abolitionists and Lincoln, as
against the oligarchy of the South. He
does not believe that democracy i'm
plies a rigid maintenance of the exist
ing order. On the contrary, he sees a
distinct menace in the steady growth
of great and unrestrained combina-
tions of capital and he is inclined to
advocate stringent restrictions upon
the individual initiative" of the manu-
facturer and the financier
The author places little faith in the
omnipotent state. He believes that
if American democracy is to be pre-
served, there must be gradual de-
Capitalization Of authority, together
with a progressive characterization of
industry Among the most important
Of our modern problems he emphasizes s
the assimilation of the great mass of
INN grafton from southern and south
eastern Europe and the proper regula-
ton of education in the interests of
truth and freedom.
Like most students of American his
tory, Professor Booker is impressed by
the influence of the frontier in deter
mining our national character and
ideals. On this point he says:
"The course of American history and
the character Of American society we're
more and more determined by the in
tcrests and the ideas of frontier So
ciety. For hundred years American
history hay witnessed the repetition,
in each generation, of the same proc
ess; in each generation a return to
| frontier conditions in a new area, in
volving, within this area, the oft re-
pcated social evolution from the most
primitive to the most advanced types
Of industrial society"
The frontier has now disappeared; {;
there is no more free land for enter
prising settlers. From this fact the
! author draws the conclusion that an
increasing measure of justice must be
secured in industrial relations if we
are to escape class war ana the virtual
suppression Of democracy.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-26

class manners accentuate for Nigel the
lure of Hilda. And so this poor. suffer-
ing man Noel, murmuring grievances
and at odds with the world, writes out
his heart through this imagined simul-
acrum Of himself, NIGEL Carter.
Sounds attractive, doesn't it? But
we have merely opened a door an inch
or two. You may suspect that Noel
is not quite right" He isn't. He
is drawn into the region of the unreal
made real. His own self merrcs with
that of Nigel. One by one old land
marks fade, disappear. The swirl of
the winds around the edges of the
Kingdom of Demcntia have drawn him
over boundary line At one moment
he is the living man, Noel Carton. At
another he is the phantom of himself,
Nigel Carter, desperately in love with
Hilda and receiving her smile of kind
ness and understanding. The streets
of London become peopled with men not
there in reality. His wife, Josephine,
worried by his muttering the name
"Jocelyn" and made decisive through
his unwonted actions, is frightened
and calls in an expert in insanity.
Then, like flash of lightning, unex-
pected and glaring, comes the final
stroke and silence.
The Strangeness Of Noel Carton
will stand out among the seasons rank
and file of fiction, gloomy and lonely in
its sinister drapery. If read, as it
should be, at a single sitting and with
the riveted attention it deserves, it will
leave a series of pictures in the mind
of the reader that will endure for DAYS.
For it is remarkable study in a realm
of practically uncharted roads in fic-
tion; yet it has the force of an authcn-
tic human experience.

A Miner Becomes a Novelist
James c. Welsh Finds in History of Scottish
Mines Reason Why Men Strike

! Of England and brought on che great
coal strike Of 1894, and why there was
strike after strike during the next ten
years and the miners Of ell Sritala
were gradually brought into one great
and powerful union, big enough and
strong enough to win its battles.
A Worthy Novel
The book is good enough to stand
| on its own legs as q novel; every word
OF 1t is interesting. and 1t should bs
allowed to stand as sueh--a novel and
a mighty good one. It is q mistake 70
inject into 1t the propaganda idea, fer
it Is historical. Ie treats Of @ day
| that is gone. One wonders IL Mr..
Welsh would say that to-day tt is the
practice in British mine management
for the superintendents to give the
best places underground to the miners
whose wives can be readily seduced and
! that that is the reason men strike Co.
day If he is not willing to make such
claim he should not put forth The
Underworld &C q treatise on why men
strike, and certainly 1t should not be
put forth under any such pretense In
this country.
The Leaders Influence
A man who deals with labor said re-
Gently: "The men don't want to strike:
that is, most of them don't. Their
leaders make them" And that is the
one point on which Mr. Welsh in his
book is up to date. He describes q
meeting in Lowwood at which Keir
Hsrdie converts the miners to social
ism and says: ait made an indelibIo
impression on Roberts mind. The way
was so simple, 80 clear. SO sure, that
If only men like Hardie could 60
round every town and village in the
land he believed that Utopia might
be brought into being in very few
years; that even the rich people, the
usurpers, would agree that this state
Of affairs might be brought about, and
that they'd gladly give up all they had
Of power over the lives of others to
work comparatively for the good Of all,
and already he was deciding in youths
way he would give his life, every mo-
ment Of it, to help Hardie and Smiilie

HERE is no province Of fiction
II more difficult of approach and
Il successful exploration than
that of the mind astray, the
weird land of dementia. Many q
novelist has tried to traverse this
country, only to find himself lost in
its dismal bogs or snaring thickets.
A few, very few, authors contrive
to get through to the fences on the
other side, safely and with fairly
reliable chart in their hands. 1t is
a problem Of the normal, legal mind
Interpreting the disordered and illegal
mind, and that's mighty hard affair
to handle triumphantly.
And SO for US it is hats off to
William Caine, who, in his The
strangeness Of Noel Carton (Put-
nams), has written a novel of the
misty land of the disordered intellect
and, in so doing, has produced star
tlingly original and compellngly mag
nctc story. One has to read but a
dozen pages to find himself settled in
his chair with a profound desire for
oblivion of all else save Noel Carton
and the vapory but haunting Nigel
Carter.
The Strangeness Of Noel Carton
is written in the first person. We are
introduced at once to Noel and his
wife, Josephine, who has "bought
him." Spendthrift, literally with her
pounds and shillings, and owns him.
He is a mere dog, tied to her wrist.
But Noel, who guards in the sanctum
of his inner self memories of early
I Aspiration and love of fair ideals in
life and letters, hourly is irked and
rebellious under the lash of his wife's
tongue and the sordid meanness of
her petty, society seeking existence.
In a moment of faring scorn-shc
, never understands him-she dares him
to write book, with her inferential
challenge that he cannot write up to
the level of servant. And so Noel
goes to work to shape the scenario
of story to be written in secret, to
be hidden, page by page, in a chimney
until finished. He will find nepenthe
from chagrin and barb for an arrow
in his task with pen and paper.
So far SO good, although the reader
Of this novel, if he be ruminative, will
scent the unusual in its first chapter
Caine intrigucs one at the start, yet it
is difficult to tell just why. Noel Car
ton becomes Nigel Carter, and a girl
the golden haired Hilda Rumble, strides
into the thread of the plot Immediate
ly. Noel, in the flesh and tthe spirit of
Nigel, sees in her the dream of his
youth, yes, and of his maturing age
Josephine becomes Jocelyn in the
shadowy mirroring of weird rcsem-
blances, and her sharp tongue and low
