sPINDRIFT. BY Milton Raison. Doran.
@NoULSON KERNAHAN, a medi-
ocre English journalist, who for
some obscure reason was oc-
casionally received at Swim
burne's house in Putney, relates in
book Of memoirs that he once lauded
the work of Richard LIE Gallienne to
his host. Swinburne, after listening
patiently, responded substantially to
this effect: ~ should be glad to see
some of Mr.. lie Gallienne's verse. He
has the finest poets head since
Shelley
The ornamental facade referred to by
Swinburne is still, understand, in ex-
istence. The interior, however, no
longer produces poetry. Mr.. lie Gal
lienne has all the devices of metrics at
his command, but his inspiration has
run dry. His latest book is filled with
conventional lyrics and ballads of the
kind found in the barbershop weeklies.
The deft construction Is powerless to
hide the barrenness of imagination, the
total absence OF fire.
The last poem, "To Contemner OF
the Past" is bitter attack upon the
younger generation Of writer's, whom
Mr.. Le Gallienne regards as a set Of
literary Mohawks yowling under the
windows of their elders. 1t is perfectly
obvious, however, that his latest per-
fornance, placed alongside Milton Raj
sons first books, suffers heavily. Mr..
Raison, youth Of some eighteen sum
mers, who was taken up tenderly and
treated with care by John Farrar, of
"The Bookman," is the youngest of the
younger group. AS pointed out by Will
liam McFee In an admirable introduc-
tion, he has turned away from aspects
OF life Of which ne has had no expert
ence to write Of the sea, which he
knows at first hand. Instead of COM
| pairing his lady love to an ivory tower
in the old poetic manner, he says that
she is like rambling house His
verses are slightly derivatives; the in
fuence Of Masefield, for example, is
easily seen in
"But those black eyes of his that
flashed like whips,
Curled out TO beauty; he was beauty
blessed"
The echoes in the book, however, are
comparatively few. Young Raison's de-
| velopment will be worth watching,
! whether or not 1t continue to follow q
purely poetic course. REX HUNTER.

in the briefest time, most brilliant

NIeaER; tao 3 e. BY Clement Wood. z. F. pu.-
rTSHrs Is hardly novel in the
accepted sense, but series
n of dissolving views in which,
the author gives imperfect
silhouettes OF the Southern negro on
the march from slavery to the present
day. MIR. Wood selects two slave fam
lilies in the dismal swanps of Alabama
and follows their joint careers In a
sketchy fashion for three generations,
during which they are Knocked by the
mirage of freedom quite regardless of
their good or evil deserts.
Mr.. Wood tries to tell his story in
that objective manner which Stribbing's
"Birthright" and Stands white and
Black" have made familiar in the Sc
rious treatment OF negro life. But he
seems to lack the necessary equipment.
He can put atmosphere in his scenes,
as he does when describing the swamp
and its influence on the lives Of the
swamp negroes, but he fails utterly to
make his human characters convincing.
The story, as story, lacks conference
and continuity, mainly because the au-
hor has attempted 60 paint an epic
picture upon canvas which is too mar
row, with the result that perspectiyes
get blurred and proportions disappear
| in medley Of impressions.
But the authors intent is an honest
one. One realizes in this book, IL he
has not realized it before, that The
harsh lot OF the Southern negro has
not changed very much In the last
sixty years. Whether as an agrieult-
ural peon or an urban industrial work
err he In stiII faced with fha aterf, pl-
sion. Yet in spite of these handicaps
he Is consciously striving 70 realize
the newer ideals Of freedom which are
current in present day America. That
he is thwarted at every turn by those
who made him what he is Is grim
reflection on the human qualities not
Of the negro but Of his overlords.

Il am very much pleased with the
outcome Of the work of the. commission,
and am most hopeful that the legisla-

binding upon the states. Insofar as
Wyoming is concerned it is necessary to
have this agreement, as the probabili-
ties are that our development will be
