THE LYNCHING BEE AND
OTHER POEMS"
BY William Ellery Leonard

published by B. w. Huebsh, Inc,
New York Price with postage,
Sl.6O)
William Ellery Leonard, the author
of this volume, is college professor
now at the University of Wisconsin,
man of wide education and learn
ing. He has translated Lucretius and
Beowolf, has written upon Socrates
and Shakespeare and many other
great figures in literature. He has
published a number of volumes of his
own poetry.
A man familiar with European
thought as we'll as with that of Eng
land and his own country, it is inter
esting to note that in this, his last
book, he sings of Americas most ter
rible sin, the crime of lynching. And
every time a man of this calibre
turns upon his own race and shows it
is in its basest aspect, we need to
note and give thanks. For, after all,
it is only when a race criticises it.
self that much good comes of the
criticism.
"The Lynching Bee" appeared first
in the Nation and has now become
the title poem for a volume of verse.
1t takes its place among twenty pieces
each voicing some human wrong.
They are in FIVE groups. The first,
by Fire and Rope" contains "The
Lynching Bee" Leo Frank" and "a
War Movie" describing the batting
of a German-American woman. The
second. "By Court and Decree" con-
tains Tom Mooney" "Debs" and
others. And the last three sections
are grim war pictures of the suffer
ings alike of the soldier and the con-
scientious objector. The whole vol
ume portrays passionate resentment
against wrong, expressed with the
artistry of the poet.
1 reread THE Lynching Bee" last
night and did not enjoy my dreams.
1t is an extraordinary poem. intensely
modern, and yet lyrical in its express
sion. Here is no free verse enthu-
siast pouring out cadences, but a
skilled rhymster, exquisitely precise
in his use of words, who yet knows
how to tell a story in verse that has
more power to stir our vision than
any moving picture. Nothing thrown
on a screen could be more realistic or
more full of suspense.
%Honk, honk," go the automobiles.
"Honk, honk!"
They stop-they jerk-they ehug-I
they back,
And in a monstrous ring they park,
With ghostly cones converging
from the dark,
Upon a central tree al split and black,
Whose limbs and leaves are covered
out of sight
In the eternity of night"
Then they bring their victim:
y
"A bandy-legged Niger
Quite jerky, but all silent down in
side"
The poet suggests that perhaps
they do not mean to lynch the boy
after all Perhaps they win just play
with him, and he reeites all the buf-
foonery that the white man loves to
show of IN the black, the wagging of
ears. the wrinkling Of scalp. the but

and other toys,

boys"
And last comes the mother, the
mother of the dead child, who is to
light the match. She looks into the
black face!
And the two glare and glare
At one another
In two eternities of hate and pain,
Yet with such monstrous union in
despair
Such hideous sameness in their bag
gard shapes,
The one, the other,
That you would say the twain
Seemed like a savage sister and twin
brother
Dying of hunger out among the apes"
For what Leonard shows is not an
innocent Negro but a criminal, neg
lected creature, made a brute by his
surroundings. And when at length,
we hear the boys shriekS, the poet
retails the agony of the life of the
African and brought to this land.

As he Travelled east Clay began to
slough the outward marks of his call

fore he left the ranch. At Tucson he
shed his chaps and left them in care
of a friend at the Longhorn corral
The six-gun with which he had shot

himself that nobody could now tell
he was a wild man from the hills who
had never been curried. He might
have spared himself the illusion. The
llgbtness of his stride, the breadth of
the weIl-packed shoulders, the frank

him as son of Arizona.

The attempt of the alien bloc to
break down the all too few American
immigration restriction laws has not
stopped. The method merely has been
changed, For years the favorlte
method of fighting proper immigration
safeguards was resort to fearful
pleas on behalf of the oppressed and
prosecuted in foreign lands" Uncle
Sam, being person of large sympa--
thy and ready trust, was long looked
upon as an easy victim for his cajol-
cry. But a number of things have
happened during the last few years
which have taught the United States
that it's sympathy has not always
been we'll placed. and its trust has
some ines been abused.

for the all-important battle with De

schedule. Final examinations have held
the workouts up somewhat for the last
week, but yesterday Page sent his men
through a long, hard session on the big
playing floor. practice game with Tech
was held at the Butler gym Monday. All
the men are in excellent condition.
Little is known about the strength OF
the Christians Michigan opponents, but
indications are that the local five should
annex victories in both contests. The
Michigan Aggies fell before a weakened
Notre Dame team last night and since
Butler twice defeated the Irish when they
were at their best the dope favors the
Pagemen considerably in the Aggie con-
test.
The game with De PAW Saturday is
attracting more attention than any game
the Pagemen have played this season:
This game marks the first plunge Of
the locals back into the State title race
since the Purdue game, and Butler s
final standing In the State race will be
largely determined by the result Of this
game. Every contender for title honors
has been defeated at least once by other
State teams and should Butler win twice
from De PAW and twice from Wabash
the claim of the local aggregation to the
championship would be very strong.
De Paw has been twice defeated by In
diana contemporaries, having lost to Wa
bash and Indiana, and Walkers team

in the Butler game here. 4 defeat at the
hands of Butler practically would mean
the elimination Of the Old Gold as a

had It's rush for the title marred by two
defeats and If Butler can pack enough Of
a wallop to upset the Scarlet and Old
Gold in the meetings to come, the title
may wind up In a dispute between Pur-
due and Butler. Purdue has lost to De
Paw, but has defeated Butler and Wa

to get another crack at the Boilermakers.
