one mess Of words is as good as
another. There was an article in tie
Bookntan last month by Albert
Schinz In which he offered the opin-
ion that the Dadaists were pushing
to the extreme the craving for nov-
city and originality in the hope that
ahsurdity carried to the last degree
might result in a recovery of its
senses by the artistic world.
Certainly after reading two speci-
mems of Dadaist poetry selected by
NM Schinz one must believe either
that the movement has such an in
tention or that tts sponsors are
morens. Here is a piece by Lor s
Aragon, called Suicide:

In Which We Observe Booth Tarkington's
Unconcern Regarding the Flapper, and
Are Informed That the True South
Seldom Gets Into Print,
By DONALD ADAMS.

Page) must be struck. we think,
by its seeming unawareness of any
difference between this younger
generation and the lAst. Alone
among those who watch the feet
of the young men, and the girls,
and the paths they take. Mr.. Tar
kington is unconcerned with the
tendencies which others find to be
dreadful and alarming.
Gentle Julia flirts through all her
waking hours. but she bears no like
ness to the flapper, and her mischie-
vous niece. Florence, gives no indi-
cation, even a. thirteen goin' on
fourteen, of developing into one Of
that species.
OF course, there is nothing in Mr..
Tarkington's story to Indicate un-
mistakably that the young persons
with whom he is concerned were
born within the twentieth century.
There are. on the other hand, some
little anachronisms which point back
to ar older civilization.
We discovered somewhere in the
course Of the story group of young
sters playing a game called Truth. {"
We remember the game very well.
1t was very simple. You ask ques-
tions of one another-very personal
questions-and everybody is in honor
bound to give no false testimony.
This innocent pastime was fire.
quently indulged .on shady porches
fifteen or twenty years ago, but we
have doubts of its survival, even in
the middle Western towns of which
Mr.. Harrington writes.
The parties which Mr.. Harrington
describes. the parties at which Genie
Julia strews destruction to her right
and left, have no similituder with
those we find written about else
where. They are the sort of parties
we remember ourself, and we are by
no means as ancient as Mr.. Tarking-
ton.
Perhaps he chooses 70 ignore those
characteristics Of modern youth
which have called down the wrath of
the elders. on the supposition that
they really do not mean anything,
and have no bearing on the eternal
complexion Of youth, with which he
Is concerned.
AS a matter of fact we don't care
very much whether Mr.. Harrington
bothers himself with these details
or not. There are very few Of those
who give sedulous attention to a
Belascovian correctness in their
stories who approach the humanity
of his touch and the gentle satire
which he attains.
Gentle Julia" is not the book of
serious implications which "ABce
Adams" was, but il is genuinely
amusing. 1t escaped our

Tarkington's anachronisms, but we
meant to say that in their attitude
toward one another these boys and
girls of his do not have that matter
of fact manner which is supposed to
be characteristic of the new genera
tion. Noble Dill, in love at twenty
two with Julia, is astonishingly naive.
We wonder what Scott Fitzgerald
win think of him.
The Fictional South.
TN connection with T. s. Strib-
i ling's "Birthright" we were
asked If we were acquainted
with the work of Octave Thanet
(Alice French), whose by Inhe.i-
tance" was called to our attention as
somewhat parallel with Stribling's
book. We do not know her work
and were interested in a letter from
Martha McCulloch- Williams in which
she says that "paradoxica,iy, the
very best and the most yeritable de-
hneations of Southern life have come
from two women, New Englanders
by descent. yet knowing fully the
things set forth. They are Constance
Fenimore Woolson and Alice French
otherwise Octave Thanet. Both
have done their best in short stories
their novels, though more than re-
spectacle, do not touch the briefer
form"
Mrs. McCulloch- williams, it may
be noted, is herself a Tennessean, as
is Mr.. Stribling. Please tell me-" sne
writes, why it is that any book
dealing with matters Southern falls
fiat unless it harps on the note of
cross breeding? Cable found fame

every Southern white man ,habitu-
ally overstepped the color line, and by

strike much the same note. Take my
word for it, young sir. there is so

parti-colored aspect that it is a thou

lieve it, and if you paint the parti-
colored stuff veritably you get no
hearing from the powers that be in

Il think the obscuration YOU
mention of Octave Thanet's books is
probably due to the fact that she

The Laureate Again.


~ AN it be that when we spoke
~ last week about the Ameri AN
laureate we gave the impression
that we not only thought Ed
gar A. Guest and Walt Mason would
lead any popular contest for the de-
cision, but that we were also of the
opinion that their success would be
deserved? Apparently Reuben B.
Oldfield believes that we are, for he
writes us that like yourself can
not agree with Mr.. Hooker and am
entirely out of patience with the
brainless riming Of to-day-the dis
jointed cubist jazz that makes a
secret Of having no secret at an."
Our only quarrel with Mr. Hooker
was in his apparent assumption that
if a popular election of the laureate
were held the leading candidates
would be Edwin Arlington Robinson,
Amy Lowell and Edgar Lee Masters.
These Names we believe, are as good
as any others among contemporary
American poets, though we have
doubts about Masters and Miss
Lowell, but we contend that If the
electorate were not hand picked. not
limited to, let us say. such persons
as can give You offhand the names
of six contemporary English poets,
there wouldn't be a look in for Mr..
Hcoker's three while Edgar A. and
Walt were in the running.
Mr.. Oldfield, we take it, finds Mr..
Hooker's candidates guilty of brain
less rhyming." We do think there
is great deal of poetry being writ
ten that makes a secret of having
no secret at all," but we do not con-
slider Messrs. Robinson and Masters
and Miss Lowell as arch offenders.
Mr.. Masters has written some of the
worst blank verse that has ever
reached the printed page, and Miss
Lowell sometimes makes verbal crazy
quilts: Mr.. Robinson has spells of
out-Browning Browning, but sall
three have added measurably to the
living body of American poetry.

Coal and Its Mining

THE -FOUR HOUR DAY IN COAL.
By Hugh Archibald. The III. w.
Wilson Company.
n r. r. Archibald is a mining en-
M gineer. His book, with an
Introduction by the Bu-
reau of Industrial Research, presents
graphically and mathematically the
conditions of present coal mining
operation that make the average
working day Of the miner approx
mately four hours. Figures compiled
by the Federal Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics are quoted to show that more
than half the coal miners in America
work only from so to rs per cent. of
the fnli eight hour day, that only 2
per cent. work full time. that II per
cent. work less than three -fourths of
full time.
The cause, as Mr.. Archibald sees
it, is the faulty organization of work.

M0NDELL RETURNS TO WASH
INGTON.

Congressman Frank W. Mondell,
floor leader of the house, left Chey-
enne Saturday afternoon for Washing
ton. where he and other congressional
leaders had been called by President
Harding to take charge of pending leg
islation intended to straighten out the
national transit tangle brought about
by the railroad strike. He also had
been charged by the president with the
duty of notifying other members of the
house.
The presidents call put an end to the
brief vacation Mr.. Mondell had been
enjoying in Wyoning-the first he has
had in nearly two years. But the vet

1t was no new experience for him. In

TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF WYOMING.

Judge Charles E. Winter announced his candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination for Representa-
tive in Congress in 1918, but withdrew when it be-
came apparent that Senator Warren and Congress-
man Mondell would both be candidates for re-elec-
ton to their offices, owing to the emergency of the
world war.
In 1920 he entered actively in the campaign on
behalf of the Republican party, speaking in all parts
OF the State. His runner against the League of
Nations were unsurpassed and aided materially in
the large Republican majority in that strenuous
campaign. He filled acceptably a part of the sched-
uled meetings of Hon. Frank W.. Mondell, Republi-
can candidate for Representative, who was incapaci-
tated by an accident.
We present, in Charles E. Winter of Casper. citi-
zen, lawyer, Jurist, speaker and author, a man emf
nently fitted by native ability and training, and by
ripe experience gained in twenty years of continu-
Gus residence in Wyoming, to take up the work in
the House of Representatives which Mr.. Mondell
lays down.
We, as his Republican n~eighbors who know him
best, cordially and confidently commend Charles E.
Winter to the Republican voters of Wyoming, as one
deserving and able to represent our State in Con-
gress, as one who will make a strong candidate and
help lead the party to success in the election.
We bespeak for him your active and unqualified
support in making him the nominee of our party at
the primary to be held August %, 1922.

They prove that the Carey administration is
costing the people of the state annually approx

They prove the unfitness of the Carey admin

They prove also the overwhelming demand for
