A NEW ENGLAND GROUP AND
OTHERS. BY Paul Elmer More.
Houghton Miffiin Company
Reviewed by ALFRED LIEF.

One of the few writer's in America
who have chosen the profession OF
literary critic. as distinct from book
reviewer, is Mr. More. The differ
ences between the two are many but
the most obvious one is that the re-
viewer writes news, while the critic
writes an essay.
This volume is the eleventh in Mr..
More's series of Shelburne Essays
and contains amplifieu reprints of
book discussions from various peri
odicals. 1t includes sympathetic.
,alm, and leisurely essays on such
good friends as Jonathan Edwards,
Emerson, Charles Eliot Norton and
Henry Adams.
Nothing rash. nothing new: but in
teresting withal Mr.. More's method
is to give biography. extracts. in
terpretations and digressions. Com
mon knowledge is taken. expanded,
end paralleled with findings from
other fields.
The opening essay. THE Spirit and
Poetry of Early New England" which

ness and sense of humor by admitting
that certain people regard the later
Ioets as equally negligible. but he

clamor of our emancipated youth.
hailing largely from strange lands in
the dark map of Europe. to miss the
more fragile beauty of what after all
is the fairest thing this country has
produced" This raises the question
whether one must be a Mayfiower
descendant to appreciate the indigen-
ously American. 1t is rather provin-
c'al to teach such things to the young
men of Johns Hopkins. The Brah-
Minis must stand on their own merits
without a protecting shawl Of Amer
| ican flags.
Emerson's philosophy is analyzed
and Mr. More considers that it is this
| lelef in self-reliance that shares with
Emerson's genius his claim as the
most outstanding of our writer's.
Emerson's blind optimism, however
was his weakness: and this accounts
| for the fact as the critic says, "he
often loses value for his admirers In
proportion to their maturity and ex-
perience." He Is preeminently
the poet of religion and philosophy
| for the young; whereas men as they
| grow older are inclined to turn from
| him, in their more serious needs. to
hose sages who have supplemented
insight with firmer grasp of the
whole of human nature"
Approaching our own times the
Shelburne essayist takes up Ernest
Poole's The Harbor" which contrasts
the forces OF scientific efficiency with
fuman instincts. Mr.. More grants
that machine-made lives would hold
no happiness. but he denies that
happiness can be achieved by the
mere banding together of the workers
Something is lacking, and that thing
is soul. But at least, whether for
the scholar or for the man of affairs

"Thus Gregory will have that which
he hasn't got now-an outlet to his
market by water; and when the rail-
road to SeGuoia builds in from the
south, it will connect with the road
which we have built from Sequoia up
into Township nine to the north;
hence Gregory will also have an out
let to his market by rail. He can
easily get a good manager to run his
lumber business until he finds a Gus
toner for it, and in the meantime we
will be charging his account with our
freight bills against him and gradual

ourselves"
John Cardigan's d'hand came crop

upon his boys. "You forget, my son,
that we cannot last In business long

EDITORIAL.

In yesterdays Issue space was given
to a rather extensive review Of the Chris
tian ted harbOr question as contributed
by one Of the many at this end who ave
the interest and welfare of their island
home at heart, and who realize that
most the advancement to which we lay
claim in st. Croix lies in the solution of
the harbor problem at this end. 1t is
much to be regretted that the efforts
made tow rd perfecting certain improve
ments were abandoned without so much
as to a further word from our local
legislative which was the suitable chan
mel through which an appeal may have
been made to the commission at Washing
ton. Yet it is not too late to take this
matter up afresh and giving it the proper
attention accomplish more than ever
was dreamed of before, as oul cores
pendent warrantably cons ders. 1t has
always been our opinion that the harbor
at this end of the island could be made a
suitable one without ~prejudicing the
interests of FreGeriksted where there
unfortunately seems to exist a misunder-
standing of our aspirations. The pres
emf administration of these islands is
believed to have the welfare of the
population constantly before it, and
there is a strong conviction that our ap-

to social prominence whether of dark
or light complexion is after all an in
alienable one.
What the islands need is commercial,
industrial and agricultural development.
and this can never be made a success
until the classes get together, leaving
social equality alone.
1t is inconceivabIe that the writer
miss Hendrickson) who spent -four
months in the islands TO make a study
Of these things cannot see that there
is no comparison OF race problem with
that of the United States.
In America with its ninety percent of
whites, the question of RACE is raised
and admitted even in some of the courts.
1t is equally directed against the Jew
and japanese as against the Negro.
Jews and Japanese are united however
and are independent.
American Negroes are not.
Besides Negroes here SOW the seed of
their own destruction.

Dear Sir
The letter of Miss Hendrickson
which appeared IN the Emancipator, gives
rise of an opportunity for the public to
know that my activities with the Virgin
Island Protective League became dor
mant through her efforts to impugn my
motives and gain favor upon the views
she has expressed. and Of which | re-
fused to be a party. In my opinion the
question of color should not be discussed
on the islands.
With a population over ninety percent
of mostly color, where equal opportuni-
ties are afforded to adopt culture and
refinement and to acquire intelligence
there is not the slightest chance of op-
preston along the lines of race discrimi-
nation.
To discuss color and class, without
creating a feeling Of bitterness, is a very
poor way TO get JUSTICE for one and
all, for the right of anyone to aspire
