There Is really nothing meaner than

which he writes. His characters sneak
in the dialect Of the early New Eng
land sailors and farmers, and the illu-
sion of reality is admirably preserved
n many of the minor incidents. The
verse is musical and colorful. Some
beautiful descriptive passages are in
spired by the Massachusetts, woods and
hills.
The author is also we'll versed in
ghostly rites. He lnfuses an authentic
tinge of supernatural awe into the
scene in old Tam's cabin, where the
frightened girls huddle together to
hear their fortunes told
1t is to universal, ALIEN bracing Love
that John Wharf appeals in trying to
save the soul of Judy Rhincs from the
dark forces that hover around it. ard
some of the semi-religious lyrics in the
book are exquisite in their beauty and
delicacy.
Mr. MacKaye has tapped an old vein
of American folklore, and he has Gre
ated an artistic work that is ANTIQUE in
form. but thoroughly modern in spirit.
He has touched and revivifed an old
legend with the power of his psycholog-
zeal insight and poetic genius. He has
done for Dogtown Common what Wash
ington Irving did for Sleepy Hollow.
There are many changing moods in
Dogtown Common. The reader is
soothed by the nature pictures, thrilled
by the dark rites in Tam's house, ex-
allied by the pure and splendid love Of
Wharf and Judy. The poem is stuff
GENTLY rich in content and dramatic IN
spirit to avoid the curse OF monotony
that is likely to befall a sustained mar
rative in verse. Mr.. MacKaye has made
an original and notable contribution to
American poetry.

A Road to Reform
Social Catholic Ideals In
terpreted

THE LABOR PROBLEM AND THE So
CIAL CATHOLIC MOVEMENT in
FRANCE. BY Parker T. Noon Pub
lished by the Macmillan Company.
NOME time ago the we'll known Brit
- ish philosopher and mathematicis u
Bertrand Russell discussed social
ism, syndicalism and anarchism as
three proposed avenues of escape from
the injustices Of the present indus
trial system. Social catholicism, as
interpreted in Professor Moons schol-
airy work, possesses sufficient vitality
and popularity among the European
workers to deserve mention as a fourth
possible road to freedom.
The Social Catholic movement is lib
eral, but not revolutionary. 1t aims
to solve the vexing problems Of indus
trial life with justice to worker and
employer alike, and without appeals to
class consciousness. At the same time
it does not shrink from radical re-
forms. The Social Catholics are favor
able to employee participation in the
management Of industry. They indorse
the idea Of an industrial parliament,
consisting of representatives. elected
from the various industries, which
should function side by side with the
political parliament and furnish mater
ia. for expert social legislation.
The author confined his survey to
social catholicism in France, but the
movement is by no means limited to
that country. Social Catholic ideas are
championed by powerful parties in the
legislatures of Germany, Italy and
other European countries. An echo Of
the movement is heard on this side of
the ocean in the very liberal manifesto
on reconstruction issued by four bish-
ops under the auspices of the National
Catholic War Council.
Professor Moon shows that social
catholicism really originated in a re-
action from the extreme individualism
of the French Revolution. The Revolu-
ton, which regarded unrestricted lib
erty as a panacea in the economic as
we'll as in the political field, actually
made combinations of workers illegal,
law which was retained by the subse-
quent royal and imperial governments.
The natural effect of this law, COM
bined with the evils which attended
the introduction of the factory system
everywhere, was to reduce the French
workers to a state of appalling misery.
This produced reaction, and liberal.
minded Catholics began to seek in the
historic teachings of the Church for
remedy
SO the Social Catholic movement was
born in the first half of the nineteenth
century. 1t received powerful mega
tive impetus in the Commune of 1871,
which aroused some Of the Catholic
leaders to a realization of the fact that
something must be done for the work
ers if further outbreaks of COM
munist nature were to be avoided
The author traces the political and
economic development of the Social
Catholic mQyement in modern times,
emphasizing the untiring labors Of
Count Albert de Nun in this connec-
ton. His account, while sympathetic,
is quite fair, and his work reveals com
depth ard scholarship.

Shifting the Boss
Political Reformer Is Hero
of Novel

THE BAND WAGON. BY Franklin F.
Ellsworth. Published by Dorrance &
Co.. Philadelphia $3.50.
T~HERE is a distinct flavor Of au-
photography about this novel. We
learn from Who's Who that the
author, Mr.. Franklin F. Ellsworth
fought as a volunteer in the Spanish
War, held the Office of county attorney
and served three terms as Congress-
man from a Minnesota district. And
the hero Of the story, Truman Tread
we'll, also served in the Spanish War
and subsequently was elected county
attorney and Congressman, And the
end of the story, which pictures Mr..
Treadwell being triumphantly elected
Governor of Minnesota in 1924, may
quite reasonably be accepted as the au-
thor's vision Of his own future.
Mr.. Ellsworth is obviously not
trained novelist. His style is orator
ical and argumentative rather than
literary; he makes lavish use of italics
and many passages in the book sug-
gest stump speech rather than a work
Of fiction. Tho novel owes whatever
attraction it possesses to the realistic
color of some of its political episodes
and to the authors evident sincerity in
his task of self-portrayal.
Truman Treadwell is the ideal hero
Of American political life-the stall
wart legislator who remains true to his
Utmost corrections and refuses to allow
his vote or his actions to be controlled
by any boss under the sun, no matter
how highly placed. Refusing to climb
on the organization band wagon, he
creates band wagon" Of his own by
hard, persistent work among the cleo
tors. When the oily emissary of the
state machine comes to him with pro-
posas Of compromise he doubles up
his fists and delivers his answer in the
following vigorous words
"If you've come here to get me to
soft-pedal on Cannonism, I've got
nothing to say to you. And il the
condition is such in Minnesota that
you or any one else can guarantee to
any candidate for public Office that
hc will have no opposition, they're
whole lot more rotten than anything
ever drcamt Of: and you can get back TO
st. Paul and tell those damnatory
whelps that they've got fight on their
hands"
Naturally, Treadwell's unbending at
titudc involves him in one political
battle after another. He experiences
his ups and downs; but he finally Sc
cures the overwhelming support Of
the people and sweeps into the guber-
material Office on platform of justice
and fair dealing for all and Of resolute
opposition to the assaults Of predatory
big business on one hand and of de-
structive socialism Gas cxemnliicd in
the Nonpartisan League) on the other
After reading this novel it will be
intcre sting to see how Mr. Ellsworth
fares in the primaries and elections of
1904

MILE HIGH. BY Henry c Rowland.
Published by Harper & Bros. New York.
N ENVER, which happens to be
just one mile above sea level,
is the setting Of Henry C. Row
lands Mile High, brisk story about
super-crooks, whose fate it is to play
opposite to a super-sheriff, who even
tually sets them where they belong in
spite of their international reputa-
tons.
Some Of the crooks have figured in
other stories by Mr.. Rowland. They
are good enough for a series-espe-
cially Patricia, the puma-like girl, who
is possessed Of the strength and
agility of a circus athlete and who
knows many jiu-jitsu tricks and de-
lights to use them to the discontinue
of men. Patricia and her companion
crooks find themselves at the sherff's
home east OF Denver, laid up by dis
abled automobile. The sheriff is not
only the owner of enormous farming
acreage, but he is proftably engaged
in mining diamonds from q nearby
butte. Diamond mines have been I'M
heard of as a resource Of even so pro-
ductive a state as Colorado, but Mr.
Rowland talks Of these convincingly
and seems to have scored "beat" on
the Geological Survey.
Such technical matters will be over
looked, even by Coloradoans, in the
story that follows. The sheriff falls
in love with Patricia, VINO
responds with a jiu-jitsu twist that
renders him helpless. But the sheriff
has his revenge when Patricia, after
going to Denver, becomes involved in
a diamond theft and an attempted muir
der there. In a second bout with the
husky sheriff, which is fought among
the crags of the Rockies, the athletic
lady crook loses the decision.
Mr.. Rowland has put something Of
the ozone of the high places into his
story. In less expert hands the tale
would be farcical, but he succeeds in
making it entertaining-and almost
convincing.

Words in Pain

SHADOW SHAPES. BY Elizabeth shepley
Sergeant. Published by Houghton Mif-
fin Company. 50.
THIS book has all the luminous
charm of Miss Sergeant's earlier
work, French Perspectives, deepened
and enriched by vivid and painful
subjective experience. The author, an
American girl and war worker in
France, was accidentally wounded in
going over battlefield, and this is the
journal which she wrote during her
months of suffering. Intimate per
sonal sketches of the life about her
are mingled with reflections on the war
and the peace, and the contrast be-
tween American and French civiliza-
tlons. 1t is one of the comparatively
few war books which, for the sake of
its manner and matter, deserves to sur
vive.
