TYCOON-MIND AND
SPIRIT

THE MAGNATE: William Boyce
Thompson and His Time 1889
1900 BY Hermann Hagedorn.
New York: Reynal Is Hitchcock.
THIS biography of William Boyce
Thompson might almost be taken
as a duplication of the American
superman, provided, of course, that
supermen are trammeled by any such
limitations as nationality.
For 1t is, first Of all, a glamorous
success story, such as all Americans
sentimentally love, the tale of the
rise to riches in its most spectacular
vein. And after that it is an account
Of a man of great practical sense
and forcefulness, cropping in the dark
to find his soul, asking himself,
beyond his riches, what, in general,
1t is all about anyway. Surely there
is something uniquely American about
the combination of force and futility.
The success story occupies a con-
siderable portion of the book, de-
failing the operations on the stock
market and in the mines by which
Thompson amassed his millions. The
psychic probing comes later, when Mr..
Hagedorn describes ThompSon's en-
thusiasm over the Russian expert
ment, his resolution to back Theodore
Roosevelt for President in 1920, his
founding of institutes for scientific
research and his effort to give ex-
preston to himself through the vari-
GUS elaborate homes which he built.
He was not successful in any of
these less material undertakings.
President Wilson refused to recognize
Russia, Roosevelt died, and, after
building his final dream home at
Picket Post, in Arizona, he left 1t
to live in plain frame house with
a single bed room, sleeping porch,
bath and kitchen. He did not lose
his sense of the worlds essential
comicality, however, for, after yearn-
ing after greater human freedom I'M
der Wilson, he was able to remark,
in the days Of reaction, II am per-
fectly willing to have Cal Coolidge

to the end of my days"
It is a curious picture Of force
and simplicity that comes out Of
this book. but perhaps not more
curious than would come from a

to be a brilliant and penetrating
writer.
On the other hand, she is perfectly
mechanical. a formula writer as truly
as is Roy Octavius Cohen. The differ
ence is that her formula makes use
of the stage prop of cynicism rather
than slap-stick humors. And some
times. although probably by accident,
using her faithful prop Miss Winslow
makes a real effect. So one hardly
knows what to do with her.

A NNE MORROW LINDBERGH,
~ whose refusal. or inability, to
- do any vulgar thing has for
some time made her a sort OF
mystery to many of her countrymen,
appears clearly in this book for the
humorous, civilized, sensitive woman
that she Is. She has great claims on
all of us to become type of perma-
nent first lady (the remark has moth
ing to do with politics.. She has.
certainly. the regard of a numerous
public. Those who, apart from the
fanfare and noise, would like to form
an idea of her, cannot do better than
read this book. For it Is ostensibly
an account Of her flight to Asia with
her husband, made in 1881. But 1t
is really a personal document.
For she has not concerned herself
with any kind of record that could
conceivably be called data" Her
husband, she remarks, was scientific
enough for two. She was interested
in people, in the whimsical nuances
OF human individuality, and she was
enormously aware Of the romance Of
her journey-her journey by air into
Asia. These things, remembered over
the years and miles, make up her
book, North to the Orient"
She Is a charming writer, her charm
being an altogether individual one.
And clearly does she stand revealed
here as the daughter Of a diplomat.
Her appreciation Of the common
humanity of the peoples that she
met-Esquimo islanders Russian vii
layers, the japanese fisherman The
makes one of the most delightful
chapters), rings delicate and true. Her
respect for the customs of other lands
was instructive, and so, utterly
courteous. She writes of these peoples
with affection. 1t is unthinkable that
they do not remember her in the
same manner.
These, it would seem, are the es-
sential aspects Of her book. However.
1t may interest the reader to learn
also that she admits fear of flying
at times. She graphically describes
her terror as she watched her husband
hunt for q landing in the fog of an
unknown island of Japan, slipping
down again and again, like a knife
going down the side of a pie tin, be-
tween fog and mountain. VIII he say
afterward, 1t was nothing at alp.
And there are very few who will
read her book who will be able to note
her passing mention of a certain
japanese poem with eyes that are
entirely dry. She is sitting in the tea
house with friend, we listened
to the ," cries of boys in the park
below us, chasing dragon flies with
long pointed bamboo sticks.
DO you know the Japanese poem
(Hokkn) about the mother whose little
boy has died?' My friend repeated it:
How far in chase today,
wonder,
Has gone my hunter
OF the dragon f1y?"
Just that. But of 1t one would
rather not think. Anne Lindbergh is
too brave woman.

POET OR PROPHET.

New York: The Macmillan Co.
THIS is the story of strike. Many
such books have been written.
and the present time, with its restless
ness, seems destined to call forth even
more. The essence of such works be-
ing unvarying, it becomes the authors
problem to give life to his particular
story by his method.
The present work is an example.
The laborers, with which it is con-
cerned, are seamen and longshore-
men. Realistically. the scene is
Seattle. The story portrays, as usual,
the futility of the strike and the
varying moods-desperation, exalta-
ton, patience and brutanty-with
which varying types of workmen re-
spond. This has all been done before
It is the authors approach which
gives pier II" its individuality. an
approach based on the plan Of taking
the officers and crew of single ship
and tracing their movements, from
the walkout to the inevitable settle
ment by compromise.
It is moving story, chiefly because
Of its authors obvious sincerity. More
over, having been a seaman and long
shoreman himself, he knows his ma
terials. (He Is now a university pro-
fesor.) But, taken all In all, 1t would
seem that he is a poet rather than a
novelist. And poet may often write
q very fine prose work, but seldom a
great novel.
That is the trouble here. Mr..
Havighurst has taken too great care
for form. His work is neat; there
is no splendid mastery disorder in
1t. There is only fine feeling and
meticulous fitting together of sections
Of material, into a whole that be-
comes too smooth to have any sur
priseS.
Perhaps the most significant pas
sage In the book Is the speech of the
captain of the vessel whose crew has
struck. He is an old man. He is
trying to handle the situation in all
fairness. He says:
Take this strike. It's a hard buSi-
ness. The men have got their union
telling them what to do. And who
have they got to deal with? They
don't know any more than you or me.
There aren't any owners nowadays.
It's all corporation. If you want to
know who owns this. ship, just try
to find out. You 60 up to the Offices
and you don't see any owners. You
see managers and directors and
agents, but you don't see any owners.
Who are we working for, mister? I
don't know. And those fellows up
there don't know either. It's just a
name, Lampson Line. Old man
Lampson died 20 years ago. Now
when there's trouble you can't find
anybody to straighten things out with.
! can 60 down and talk to these men
in the picketS. But what good will
that be? Behind them is their union,
and behind me is the corporation.
It's all impersonal. The sense and
the manhood have gone out of it.
We work for something We don't
even see, and I don't even know
what it is. Statistics bookkeeping
system-most likely. You can't
talk to q bookkeeping system. ="
From this it will be seen that Mr..
Havighurst, whether novelist or not,
has brought vision to his problem.
That is a pretty fair statement Of any
routine labor trouble today-"the
sense and manhood have gone out of
It." It Is now in Che hands of clerks.
