have set Susan on FIRE As it is, one
never feels the glow Of the gospel Of

Garrison when he said: II have
need to be on FIRE, for have oceans

perfect right to present the story in
her own way, but one wonders why
Susan was attracted to such lifeless
people as these anti-slavery folk are
made out to be. The Kansas free
soilers are treated more dramatically
but in the same spirit. The hero Of
Marching On" is on his way to dis
close John Browns plans to General
Lee when the Harper's Ferry raid
occurs, while the villain, drinking.
wife-beating brute, Is one of John
Browns men.
Still, the Kansas part is real Susan
becomes a more vital creature faced
with the perils of freesoiler, and the
picture of her motherhood is poignant.
John Browns raid at Pottowatomie is
described even more brutalIy than the
reality and John Brown becomes the
evil genius Of Kansas. Still he Is more
real than maly other historical char
acters in the book Probably March
ing On" is as good a story as one can
be made where the heroine, a pure
creature Of fiction, is placed with his
torical personages whom the writer
tries critically to evaluate. Those old
days had their fanatics and their fools,
but the men and women who cried
passionately against slavery believed
in the righteousness, the holiness or
what they did. The writer who tries
to bring them back to life again must
feel fhe fame Of their passion, their
hatred Of oppression and their love for
those who were rejected and de-
spised.

Many invited guests were present

degrade and lower all the colored peo-

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Binga Twilight Party was by far the
preatest and the most brilliant social
junction ever held BY the members Of
the Afro-American race in this coun-

world devoted less than nine inches in
its issue Of December %. on a rear
page which was hard to locate or find
to the Binga Twilight Party. On the

greatest newspaper in the world sixty
four inches Of its space was de-
voted to publishing the great mass Of

the colored people throughout ali parts
Of this country during the week prior

MARCHING ON"

Marching On" is an American his
torical novel covering the period from
1S43 to the Civil War. Like so many
stories that center about a single in
dividual, the beginning is better than
the end The heroine, Susan Bright,
starts life in a rough cabin in the
Michigan woods; and whe1 the story
opens is girl Of fifteen, at war with
her surroundings. She wants to make
a career for herself, and abused and
ridiculed at home, runs away.
1t is with her adventures after she
leaves Michigan that we are con-
cerned, for here her career becomes
bound up with the abolitionists and
the Negro slave. She joins the anti
slavery forces and later goes to Kan
sas as a freesoiler. She meets Garri-
son, Frederick Douglass; lives init
mately, too Intimately, with AngeIine
Grffnke (called Angelina Severance,
and a disagreeable caricature Of the
originaD and, visiting Gerritt Smith,
sees real fugitive. Her career is also
linked closely with that of John
Brown and his family. Susan is a
beautiful young woman and her love
affairs, though she tries to avoid them,
occupy number of pages, but il is
the cause that she espouses that seems
meant to Be the absorbing part Of the
story.
Only it isn't There is little vitality
in the picture Of the abolitionists or
Of the freesoilers in Marching On"
rather there is the smell of the yell
lowed leaves of books. Those of us

come in contact with its short account
OF the Binga Twilight Party, they were
forced to wade knee deep through an
unprecedented mass Of rottenness and
horrible crimes which is clearly evi-
denced that virtue and higher social
achievements amount to nothing in the
estimation Of the gentlemen plotting
the greatest newspaper in the world.
1t has possibly been wisely said, that
in the years that have passed that the
chief editor Of the greatest newspaper
in the world was not adverse to cast
ing longing and wistful eye towards
Mr.. Binga when he happened to need
some Of the coin Of the realm; and that
Mr.. Binga invariably responded to his
supplications.
1t may not be true. but some one has
contended that after the greatest news
paper in the world, December %, made
its appearance; that Mr.. Binea in a
round about way let it be known that
he was under the impression that the
Binga Twilight Party fell far short OF
the consideration it should have re-
ceived in the columns Of the newspaper
