Artists Life Among Italian Peasants

AMONG ITALIAN PEASANTS. Writer
| and Illustrated by Tony Cyriax. with
! an Introduction hy Muirhead Bone. Pub
| lshed by Il. p. Dutton Co.
HNHIS is very vivid and sympa-
thetic description of Italian
u peasant life by an observer who
is at once distinguished artist
and genuine democrat. Avoiding the
famous Italian cities, with their monu-
ments and art galleries, Miss Cyriax
chose to spend her time in remote
mountain village among the hard-work-
ing farmers who dig scanty and pre-
carious living out of finty soil.
| She does not make familiar mis-
take of Superficial tourists by idealiz-
ing the existence of people whose Gus.
toms seem quaint and interesting.
She knows very we'll that the Italian
peasant has hard struggle to make
both ends meet, despite his irresisti-
BILE natural gayety, which often finds
expression in dancing and singing.
| The crop yield at best is insufficient to
provide a comfortable livelihood, and
whole harvests are sometimes spoiled
by hailstorms. Emigration to America
is almost an economic necessity for
thousands of the poorer young men.
But life in America is not very pleasant
|, for the average Italian worker. He
finds strange and distasteful customs !;
he is frequently given the hardest and
most disagreeable work. TOO often
he is unjustly despised and feared by
the native Americans. Besides, while
he is gone, the girl he loves may marry
some one else. AS Nino, one of the
villagers, said to Miss Cyriax:
Better to Live in Italy,
! "Signors, there is money in America,
| but it is much better to live in Italy"
| The author is very enthusiastic over
the Italian peasants, whom she de-
scribes as a lovable and unsophisti-
Gated folk, given to fiare-ups of temper
that are amusing rather than serious,
cheerful in spite of their hardships,
courteous and hospitable to strangers.
Here is one of Miss Cyriax's typical
character sketches:

was lost through the chance of one
crazy bullet. With Arthur trooped
back to power the very forces that Reid
had attacked. If this irony OF fate did
not strike deep into Reid's soul he
must have been more than human.
There is no suggestion of repining in
his letters of the period, and the bat
tie went on as merrily as ever. But
the tragic undoing of a splendid vic
tory for reform and right is so vividly
enacted upon Mr. Cortissozs pages that
the reader, rejecting upon the scholar
in politics, cannot but wonder
There followed in 's4 the defeat of
Blaine-by the four casual words of a
clergyman, as fortuitous in relation to
the essentials Of the campaign as any
bullet. The reiterated failure of the
Blaine campaigns was a grievous blow
to the party and a lasting disappoint-
ment to Reid. Inevitably, it would
seem, the strain Of political combat,
the treachery of its heart breaking
mischances, was telling. Mr.. Cortissoz
speaks. of increased diversions" in the
'80s, of long holiday in Europe in
'87. The Tribune made as active a
campaign in 'eS as ever, but when the
new President urged him to accept ap-
pointment as Minister to France he
consented, reversing Il long series of
destinations to take Office in earlier
years. AS recently as 1885, for in

the Senatorship from New York. He
refused all consideration of candidacy.

tions he had declined Office whenever
it was offered him. This time Blaine

it always lasted her to the end of the

and upheld his election throughout the
protracted dispute But it was out
spoken in its criticism of the weak
nesses Of the Hayes Administration.
This was matter Of editorial faith. A
feat of sheer journalism accompanied
the criticism of Republican rule which
went far to make party success certain
in 1880, however great the Hayes
shortcomings. This was the publica-
ton of the famous cipher dispatches
sent to and from the Tilden house in
Gramercy Park, though disowned on
the witness stand by the great S. ].
himself. Two members of The Tribune
staff, John r. G. Hassard and William
M. Grosvenor, worked for weeks before
the complicated cipher was solved.
Then the revelations were published
piecemeal, enhancing the suspense and
giving the accused the worst weeks of
their lives. The whole episode reads
like tale by Poe. Hay called the
job "the biggest piece of intelligent
JoNA 40 ulStiIEuiSucu from
mere enterprise, that has ever been
done in the country" When the story
of Democratic efforts to buy votes in
Florida and Oregon was completely
told, the prestige of The Tribune was
at its highest rark.
V
'NHE second volume opens with the two
profound political disappointments
of Reid's career, the sudden end of the
Garfield term in the tragedy of 81 and
the defeat of Blaine in '84. The death
OF Garfield was deep personal loss.
There was a close intellectual intimacy
between the two men. The record
shows how vitality Reid's advice influ-
erced Garfield in his campaign, in the
selection of his Cabinet and in his first
and crucial fight with the Conkling
forces, against whom The Tribune was
waging battle to the death. The tri-
umph of Garfield was triumph for
Reid, and the year 1881 opened a vista
of party decency and success which i'm
mensely cheered Reid and was a rich
reward for his years of battling as an
independent critic Of. Republicanism.
All this success Of hardly won ideal

lamentations, and many of the villagers
feel compelled to go to America.
Miss Cyriax is very successful in
making the personalities of the peas
ants stand out distinctly. Before the
book ends one feels intimately ac-
quainted with many figures-maje ajestic
old FLIP, energetic and self-rightcous
Giacom, mild-mannered and unfortu-
nate Nino, fiery Raimondo, scheming
Rosina.
The scenes and characters of the
story are splendidly portrayed by the
author in sketches, some in color, some
in black and white. AS Muirhead Bone
says in his introduction:
"There is rare temper displayed
throughout these sketches, breathing
a noble democracy and sympathy which
entitle Miss Cyriax to be considered
a new personality in art"

Prayers for the Crops
The peasants often offer special
prayers for the safety of the crops. At
the very beginning Of the book we are
shown procession, headed by the
priest, chanting and blessing the fields.
And later there is more solemn fes-
tival in honor of the Madonna, when
her intercession is invoked for the
safety of the crops. Unfortunately, the
prayers are not answered A terrible

In this time Of good will everybody
becomes Christian. FOR Christmas Is
simply the substitution of the spirit OF
giving for the spirit Of getting.

Giving Is the chief business OF life

dent made the following statement
"In all of my talks | stressed the
importance of the county farm bureau
federations. Whatever success the
American Farm Bureau Federation
may have had depends upon the fact
that it has been builded from the

great natural force because the local
farm bureaus called for Federation
as the capstone Of the structure, whose
foundations had been carefully laid by
the farmers themselves"
up in the great northwest the in
terest in the Farm Bureau amounts to
fervor in the hearts of the farmers.
All America will be looking to the
northwest farm bureaus with unstint-
ed admiration some day, if they keep
going forward rs they have started.
They were all eager to know about the
commodity marketing plans, and came
forward with hearty endorsement OF
the Committee of Seventeen's plan
when it was explained. Instead of the
expected inter-organization friction
which some expected, | found the fin
est cooperation"
"The formers of the west are suf-
