WITCH DOCTORS. BY Charles Beadie
Houghton Mifflin Co.
n n r. BEADLE breaks new ground for
lVI the novelist in this truly remark
able book, but he is likely to have
few followers, since such a tale could
hardly be well written by any one who had
not himself penetrated the wilds of Central
Africa at least to the outer edges of
Uganda There is. of course, plenty of
romantic fiction of the wild adventure type
staged in the dark continent" from King
Solomon's Mines" down to cheap thrillers.
but this is something different. There is
plenty of strenuous adventuring, fighting
and intrigue here, but the book really CEN
tiers upon a study3pf the native magic,
religion and the rule of the witch doctors
in a native state which is equipped with a
"King-God" who might have stepped
straight out of a foot note in Fraser's
Golden Bough." In fact, the author is
more of an ethnologist and student of
religions than a writer of romance. but
the two ingredients mix fairly we'll
although the narrative would gain by
better construction.
There is. unfortunately one rather cheap
intrusion in the form of a love motive
which involves too extraordinary coin
cidence and gives a quite unnecessary
meIodramatic twist TO the plot But it is
well managed-if it must be there. But it
would have been quite possible to find some
other reason for the action of the German
villain" of the story than jealousy. The
book is so good in other respects that one
is entitled to find this minor fault.
Professor Birnier is an American scien-
list who is studying the wild tribes of
Central Africa on the edge of the German
and British possessions before the war.
He happens to meet the German com
mandant. Lieutenant Zu Pfeiffer, and il
turns out that this German is madly in
love with Birnier's wife, who is an eminent
French opera singer. The German re-
joices in the chance to do away with the
obnoxious husband and turns him over 10
the natives to be killed as a slave trader.

BEYOND ROPE AND FENCE. BY David
Grew. Boni & Liveright.
HHE story of great horse-as horses
go-is Beyond Rope and Fence"
1t is the recital of man who knows
horses and who knows the prairies. Be-
cause he knows horses Mr.. Grew depicts
their stupidity and cowardice. Because he
loves horses he glosses over those unde-
niable traits wherever and whenever he
can. Because he knows the prairies he has
painted the rolling miles of the Northwest
with an artists brush. Since the days of
Jobs POLITICALLY described war steed a mil
lion writer's have swelled the conspiracy
that the horse is one of natures wisest
and noblest and bravest creations. The
horse has helped along the hoax by going
through life with a grave face and an inn
posing manner. AS a matter of fact, there
is almost no other domestic animal with so
little sense or pluck.
Your horse will shy violently and snort
in terror at sight of a crumpled bit of
paper in the road. And he will continue
to shy and snort at the same harmless bit
of paper day after day. He is afraid of it
and he lacks the brain to know it can't bite
him. Breed the finest horse on earth
Train him and make him your chum for
ten years. AT the end of that time any
stranger can come along and knock you
down and jump on your horse and ride
him away. Nor will the faithful equine come
back at your call if the rider says ''No."
Why, the veriest NANCY gutter mongrel
would show twice the sense and fifty times

the loyalty! Your dog will fight for you
and will starve for you. Your horse win
accept all you give him-and remain at
the beck and call of any one else
Mr.. Grew denies none of these failings.
He even makes his heroine mare leave her
adored colt in robber hands at the crack
of whip across her nose. CA mongrel
dog mother would have fought to the death
for her baby.) Yet, without lying and
without exaggeration he enhances the age
old poetic glamour which enwraps all fic-
tional horses. True, he endows beautiful
Queen with certain reasoning powers which
remain to be proven and he asserts that
she dreams-a gift hitherto supposed to be
confined TO dogs and humans-and he lets
her recognize fellow herd members she has
not seen in years. But he weaves all this
partisanship into the net of so very much
truth, and of such a first rate yarn, that
forgiveness must be his, unasked. The
book is more than well worth while.
Queen was an exceptional horse. But her
beauty and brain were far less exceptional
than was the brutality of the men who
undertook to break her. More than one
seasoned horse wrangler will itch to kick
these trainers. The true horseman uses
no needless harshness in the breaking of
a recalcitrant novice. Assuredly he does
not beat the luckless beast with slaves
and whips. nor shower kicks upon the vic
time, as did Queens torturers Her con-
querors are not typical of the average
horse breaker, even as Simon Legree was
not typical of the average slave owner
Queens terror and pain would have been
sufficient at the hands of normal trainers
without this nontypical piling on of agony.
The books jacket assures readers that
this is "the best animal story since Jack
Londons The CaH of the Wild" The
inner page of the jacket announces a belief
that it lis better than even Jack London's
The Call of the Wild" Zone conjectures
morbidly and without irreverence whether
Jerusalem publishers heralded "Deuteron-
omy" as the best story of wilderness travel
since Exodus.) Mr.. Grew needs no such
hoary blurb TO push his very good story
of the outdoors. II has practically nothing
in common with The Call Of the Wild"
And it can stand foursquare on its own
feet without invoking the ghost of Jack
London.

We pass to the home of Jake Bolton and
his wife, Maud. Saltash is an old lover
of Maud's; Jake was once under the pain
full (or possibly, agreeable) necessity of
horsewhipping Charles Rex for proposing
a crooked scheme to win horse race
Maud and Jake are superlatively happy.
To them Charles Rex brings Toby. Mauds
young brother Bunny, otherwise Sir
Bernard Brian, takes an immediate inter
est in her. And this seems, as much as it
is fair to tell of Miss Dell's story; but it
isn't all, nor half.
Miss Dell writes with unusual expert
ness. Her novel moves, from beginning to
end; it is free from long descriptions; the
accepted emotional chord is sounded in the
conventional and even in the unconven-
tional situations; she employs the perfect
adJectives and not too many of them She
never aims at something she cannot ac-
complish, and she accomplishes perfectly
the very ordinary ends at which she aims
Two things are OF invaluable help to her:
She can write conversation that frequently
rings absolutely true. and she can sharply
and consistently outline character. Her
picture of Larpent and the words she puts
in his mouth are the best illustration, but
Jake, Charles Rex and Bunny all show
these merits of the author. though less

OF course the deepest skill lies in Miss
Dells power. possessed by only handful

recognizably true with the false as quite
to deceive the uncritical reader. 1t is a
remarkable gift not yet acquired by the
scenario writerS-perhaps beyond their ac-
QUESTION since it depends so largely on
words. Take the picture of Maud Bolton.
At her first appearance in this novel the
motif of mother love is strongly sounded
Maud is the perfect and devoted mother
and wife and sister Miss Dell assures us
that Maud was fond of Toby The most
Miss Dell will concede is that Toby some
times puzzled Maud. The psychology of
Maud, as presented by Miss Dell. is pre-
posterous. Maud would have hated the
nineteen-year- girl; Maud would no
more have had her around than Mabel
would endure Mark Sabre's Effie in If
Winter Comes" Maud would have resented
Toby on her husbands. her brothers and
Charles Rex's accounts. But Miss Dell is
writing a romantic story. Maud must be
good, Maud must be kind Maud is made
so and so made she slips down the readers
throat easily. This is only one instance.
Toby on reflection, is a preposterous and
impossible character There is no point in
exposing her: novelists who may consider
themselves better writers than Miss Dell
would employ their time profitably by con-
sidering the means by which Toby is made.

LAWYERS OPINION

On the question of the courts rul-
ing that funds of the union could be
attached to pay damages very able
attorney on this particular matter, in
the Coronado coal case, says: "You
will see that this was an attempt on
the part of the attorneys for the
unions to have the court hold that the
union funds did not constitute separ-
ate funds of themselves, but were
funds in which each member had an
interest, but that the court insisted
and held that when the money had
been paid into the union that it be-
longed to the union and that it was not
necessary to show a unanimous vote
in order to reach these funds, but
it does not say anywhere that a mem
ber who did not participate in the
doing of the act complained of was
liable, nor does it hold that any of
ms property IS liable Tor those DAM
ages The same language and the
same argument that let out the in
ternational union will also let out
every member of the unions that did
not participate-that is to say, take
any part in the doing of the acts COM
planned Of"
He also said that he was unable
to find anything in the Coronado coal
case opinion that should give any
member of the union any uneasiness
or disquietude because of the Ian
guage OF the opinion" He further
said, "The opinion says that it is the
law that you cannot hold the inter-

CUT HIM DOWN
Because Carpenter Was Not
Member of His Union.
Court Awards Him
Lower Wages

A non-union carpenter in Cleve-
land Ohio, was hired to put up some
partitions. When the work was COM
pleted the employer refused to pay
him on the ground that his bill was
too high. Suit was brought by the
carpenter in the municipal court of
Cleveland The evidence at the trial
showed that there had been no agree
ment as to wages, and the only tes-
timony regarding wages was to the
effect that the union scale for car
penters in that district was $1.25 per
hour BY decision of the court the
carpenter was only allowed $110 per
hour, because he was not a member
of the Carpenters Union and there
fore he was not entitled to the union
scale. This decision was based on the
following grounds:
The non-union man not having con
tributed in any way to the securing
Of the union scale was, as a matter
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-09-01

of justice, not entitled to the same
wages as one who had by his thought,
time and money aided in securing the
union scale The second ground was
because where union man is en-
ployed to do a certain line of work
in a community where there is a we'll
known and established rate for that
work which has been agreed upon
as the just rate for member of that
union working in that district, then
there is an implied contract that the
union man shall receive the scale
from whoever employs him in that line
Of work. But that does not apply to
a non-union man because he has not
brought himself within the class to
which the rate applies.
