with the proletariat. They are GER
tainly not part Of proIetarian art,
which is an art created by the probe
tariat for the proletariat, or for all so
ciety. But they evidence a change +.
from the literature of the bourgeoisie !
which had captured the literary cfta-
del during the eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries. Before the eight
eenth century, literature had been the
child Of the aristocracy, and, as in
the works of Shakespeare, had ex-
pressed the ethics and esthetics OF
the feudal nobility. Norris work
marks the definite beginning Of an
anti-bourgeois trend in our literature.
Norris work with its spirit OF re-
volt grew out Of the vast expansion Of
capitalism over the great western sec
tons of the United States. The rail-
roads had started as private compa-

other, but in the struggle with the

when millionaires were made in the
mad gamble of night, when cunning

While this insane scramble for wealth
went on, and workers were bent,

William Dean Howells, the leading
American novelist of the bourgeoisie,
wrote quiet, sweet stories Of the par

his own words, averted ugliness by

American Frank Norris, on the other
hand, detested this unreal sweetness
and serenity, that prided itself upon
the ostrich gesture. It was the smell
of earth that haunted him. In him
was desire to tell fact and not ic-
J ton. He hated the bourgeoIsie, who
desired relief in art and escape in
fiction. He did not wish to write
boudoir literature for decadents or
saccharine tales for sentimental vir-
gins. He did not wish to devote his
talent to the art of the precious few.

may lack finish and want form, though
they may suffer from crudity and mel
odrama and oftimes fail of that beauty
which great art attains, there is in
them the spirit OF candor and that
flare Of revolt that are always moving
and dynamic. And it is in the light
Of this that one can understand the
sincerity OF his cry:

It is the vision Of the wheat, too,
that fascinates and inspires Norris
Wheat is no common thing for him
1t is no common growth that is
whipped into food for humans. 1t is
a conception. 1t is a sweeping reality.
1t is the sustenance of nation, of a
world. 1t is poem and a passion, a
reality that is irresistible and over
whelming.
"There It was, the Wheat, the
Wheatl The little seed long planted,
terminating in the deep, dark burrows
Of the soil, straining, swelling, sud
denly in one night had burst upward
to the Hight. The wheat had come up.
It was there before him, around him,
everywhere, iIIimitable, immeasur-
able. The winter BROWNIES Of the
ground was overIaid with a little SHIN
mer Of green. The promise Of the
sowing was being fulfilled. The earth,
the loyal mother, who never failed,
who never disappointed, was keeping
her faith again. Once more the
strength of the nations was renewed.
Once more. the Titan, benignant, calm,
stirred and woke, and the morning
abruptly bIazed into glory upon the
spectacle of man whose heart Ieaped
exuberant with the love of a woman,
and an exulting earth cleaning tran
scendent with the radiant magnifi-
eenee Of an inVioIabIe pledge"
It is these two themes that course
through the novel. the locomotive, and
the wheat. The immensely of the
wheat, after all, becomes a world
immensely only through the locomo-
tive which can transport it from town
to city and from city to nation. While
"men persisted, were shot down in
the very noon Of life, hearts were
broken and misery, death and
anguish spun like wheel Of fire." the
wheat remained, and it's rushing roar
down chute and channel continued
persistent, steady, inevitable" The
struggle with the railroad was similar.
Man succumbed to it. The peasant
farmer was exploited and extin-
guished. The old virtues were con-
verted into the new vices. The men
Of the Ranch had surrendered to the
men of the Railroad, yet Norris never
forgets to stress the fact that It had
been forces rather than men (who)
had locked horns in the struggle"
"Into the prosperous valley, into the
quiet community Of farmers, that gal
Looping monster, that terror of steel
and steam had burst, shooting athwart
the horizons, fIinging the echo Of It's
thunder over all the ranches Of the
valley, leaving blood and destruction
in its path The ranches had
been seized in the tentaces Of the
octopus; the Ubiquitous burden Of ex-
tortionate freight rates had been inn
posed like yoke Of iron."
Like the novels of the christian so
cialist school in England, led by
Kingsley and Mrs. Gaskell, Norris

THO quiet, agrarian souls the railroad
L came like an invader in the night.
1t was a spectre that threatened to
overspread the land with disaster and
destruction A demon of smoke and
steel, 1t screamed its way across con-
tinent, stopped only by ocean and sea.
Its whistle foretold the fall Of rustic
civilization.
The locomotive, in brief, was viewed
as q leviathan, an octopus.
This was a social mood, not an in
dividuaI caprice or poetic protest. In
THE Octopus" Frank Norris gives it
vigorous and vivid expression. Pres
ley, in the early pages of the novel,
epitomizes the attitude in para
graph:
"Then, faint and prolonged, across
the levels of the ranch, he heard the
engine whistling for Bonneville. Again
and again, at rapid intervals in its
flying course, It whistIed for road
crossings, for sharp curves, for tres
ties; luminous notes, hoarse, below
ing, ringing with the accents Of men,
ace and defiance; and abruptly Pres
ley saw again, in his Imagination, the
gailoping monster, the terror of steel
and steam, with its single eye, cyclic
pean, red, shooting from horizon to
horizon; but saw It now as the SYM
Dol of vast power, huge, terrible,
ffinginq the echo Of its thunder over
all the reaches Of the valley, leaving
blood and destruction In its path;
the Ieviathan, with tentacIes Of steel
cIutching into the soil, the souIIess
Force, the Iron-hearted Power, the
monster, the Colossus, the Octopus"
The locomotive effected a revolu-
ton in the western world 1t revo-
lutionized production by accelerating
transportation, and revolutionized
ideas by increasing contacts and null
tiplying communications, and chang
ing leisurely hamlets into 5ustling
towns and cities. 1t announced the
beginning of new age.
Frank Norris novel, "The Octopus"
is devoted to the theme of the loco
motive and the epic of the wheat.
Norris was one of the first American
novelists to conceive of life in terms
OF forces instead of individuals. There
was something sentimental in Norris
attitude, it is true, but there was at
the same time something very power
full and something very accurate in
his exaltation of forces over individ.
uals. In an intuitive way, perhaps,
he understood that it was mans des-
tiny to control these forces for his
own salvation, but into his novels this
intuition seldom crept. 1t was always
the force of the locomotive, the power
Of the wheat that prevailed. Life for
Norris was a sweeping epic in which
man was but an inconspicuous, mi
croscopical puppet. Yet there was
about Norris work proletarian SYM
pathy and protest which, though not
scientific or socialistic, invariably en-
dowed his better work with flash of
beauty that was lacking in the prud-
ish pastels OF Howells. The CONVEX
sation between two of the characters,
Presley and Vanamee, about the for
mer's poem, called "The Toilers," is
Illustrative OF an attitude that was not
characteristic Of the bourgeois litera-
ture Of the nineteenth century. Pres
ley, whom we mentioned before, was
a poetic type, hugging the soil as his

inspirations; Vanamee, a mystic, in
love with the magic of the wheat, is
like an irridescent apparition of the
endless plains.
"The moment seemed propitious.
The stiffness OF the vast, bare hills
was profound. The sun was setting in
a cIoudIess brazier of red light; a
golden dust perVaded all the land
scape. Presley read his poem aloud.
When he had finished his friend
looked at him.
"'What have you been doing lately?'
he demanded. Presley, wondering,
told of his various comings and go
ings.
80 don't mean that returned the
other. Something has happened to
you, something has aroused you. I
am right, am not? Yes, thought so.
In this poem Of yours you have not
been trying to make a sounding piece
of literature. You wrote 1t under tire
mendous stress. Its very imperfec-
tions show that. It is better than a
mere Rhyme. It Is an Utteranee-a
Message. 1t is Truth. You have come
back to the primal heart Of things,
and you have seen clearly. Yes, II Is

"'Thank you,' explained Presley
fervidly. y had begun to mlstrust
myself
"'Now, observed Vanamee, 4 pre-
sumo you will rush II into print. To
have formulated a great thought, sim
ply to have accomplished, is not
enough

Presley. IF it is good, it will do good
to others. You said yourself il was a
Message. If II has any value, ! do
not think It would be right to keep it
back from even very small and most
Indifferent public
"'Don't publish it in the magazines
at all events Vanamee answered.
Your inspiration has come from the
People. Then let it go to the People
not the literary readers of the monthly
periodicals, the rich, who would only
be indirectly interested. If you must
publish it, let It be in the daily press.
Don't interrupt. I know what you will
say. II will be that the daily press is
common, is vulgar, Is undignIfied; and
| will tell you that such a poem as
this Of yours, called as II Is The Toll

must be common; It must be vulgar

dignity with the People, II you are to

"'That Is true, ! suppose Presley
admitted, but can't get rid OF the
idea that II would be throwing my
poem away. The great magazine
