A BOOK REVIEW

record play, that curious, strong,
flexible voice intoning the words
of Lincoln, I'm aware of how
much of Lincoln is in me, in all
of us, We, the People. Fellow
Citizen" says Sandburg, reading
Lincoln, Fellow citizen, we can
not escape history :. F.. The degmas
Of the quiet past are inadequate to
the stormy present" And the veiee
stills for a moment and a blare
of horns and brasses takes over
and hear very softly in the back
ground, very quietly in the the
background of my mind in the in
terstices Of my moral fibre the
voice of one long gone, yet one
who still dwells within us all. And
he is saying in a curiously high
pitched voice, at is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us; that
from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause
for which they here gave the last
full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain;
that the nation shall, under God,
have a new birth of freedom, and
that government of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall
not perish from the earth"
If you believe with Carl Sand
burg that Americans are really
nice guys and with Harry Golden
in the supreme value of the in
dividual, then you cannot help but
read this book for 1861 written by
Harry Golden about Carl Sand
burg.

We Hove Wondered, And We Still Do
ISIT TRUE WHAT THEY
SAY ABOUT DIXIE?

They can talk, and that's what we
need more talk. More money,
more industry, is nonsense let's
keep the money power out by
keeping them afraid of us. In
stead of raising per capita income,
hets raise members for the Cit-
zen's Councils. Instead of adding
strength to our argument, let's just
raise our voices!
Is it true what they say about
Dixie? Indeed, there is more truth
than just what they say!
Is something really wrong here
in the land OBJ cotton?
Well, not much! Nothing, really,
that couldn't be cured by sending
off sixty-five percent of our po-
litical leaders and other natives,
and inducing the sixty-five per-
cent of college graduates to re-
main!

world where to head-in. We've
got them by the tail with a down

of living for the Negro, making
him able to buy our products? Let
him raise him own standard . . =.
are we our brothers keeper? No,
let the lowest per capita income
in the nation hold rein over us
from now on. Let our state ideal
be high. We are not in need of
respect of our fellowman.. let us
kick in the teeth of any man who
advocates intelligence.
Let's drive from the state those
sixty-five percent of college grad
yates; but let's not stop there, let's
get all self Prospecting persons on
the run, too. Let's encourage the
greats among our political leaders.

bring education into some sort OF
alignment with industrial society
by founding the E e m n t airy
School of Chicago University" In
this way Harry Golden correlates
the life of Carl Sandburg with the
whole gamut of American social
history through which he has
lived. Carl Sandburg has always
used history as his subject, and
through the eyes of Harry Golden
the entire range is brought into
our ken.
In his early years, Sandburg was
a staunch and devoted socialist.
Much of his poetry is favored
with the hue and cry of the radi-
cal, heard since time immemorial.
In an early speech Sandburg en-
listed new members thusly: La
Dor is beginning to realize Its
power. We no longer beg, we de-
mand old-age pensions; we de-
mand a minimum wage; we de-
mand industrial accident insur-
ance; we demand unemployment
insurance; and we demand the
eight-hour day which must be-
come the basic law of the land"
Sandburg went into the Social
Democratic movement in Wiscon-
sin because, he says lit had a
dream and he wanted share OF
that dream" Carl Sandburg knew
all about unemployment. He had
travelled the hobo circuit, knew
box cars, coal gondolas, cattle cars
inside out. He'd been arrested as
a hobo, served time in lieu of a
fine, and learned the ways, the
talk, the habits of the boes. From
these experiences he saw the small
town America as he could never
have seen it any other way, the
prairie towns, the wheat towns,
and the cities, his Chicago.
If it's a definitive biography
(whatever that is) you want, tell
ing you what the psychological
twist was that caused the boy
Charles (for that is what he was
christened) Sandburg to become
the poet, Carl Sandburg, then
don't read this book. If you want
a muckracking hashish that gives
lurid details of all the people in
and out of Sandburg's life, stop
right here and leave H rry
Golden's book on the library shelf.
But if you want to revive some
of your own childhood dreams, If
you want to hear the horns OF
elfland family blowing, if you
want to see the flag as you haven't
seen it in many a year and hear
the national anthem sung loud ana
clear by many voices, young and
old, then get this book as fast as
YOU can and read it. You'll find
yourself with lump in your
throat more times than you'll like
to admit, and wondering how we
got this way, the mess the nations
in.
On April 6, 1859, in an address
before the Graduate Faculty OF the
New School in New York City,
Carl Sandburg had this to say:
Mr.. Faubus of Ark a nsas
wouldn't know what Lincoln
was talking about but Mr..
Faubus does not know that fear
full four-year blood-bath OF the
186O's had one curious result.

Washington Negro
Subject Of New
Doubleday Rook

The Negro in Washington, D. c.
is the subject Of a new book by
Haynes Johnson, Dusk at the
Mountain" to be published by
Doubleday on January 1st, 1868.
Besides being the nations cap
ital, Washington is the only city
in the United States with a Negro
majority. Here the problems Of
the American Negro are magni-
fled under the eyes Of Congress,
the nation, and the world.
Mr.. Johnson pinpoints the for
ces, and the people, that contribute
towards Americas difficulties in
achieving universal Civil Rights.
He finds them both inside and out
side the Negro ranks. Washington
is a mixture Of tolerance and seq
regationism, of wealthy Negro
quarters as well as slums, shrewd
political leaders and fanatical de-
magogues.
The idea and much of the mater
ial for Dusk at the Mountain" de-
veloped from a series of articles
on the Negro in Washington, writ
ten by the author for the Washing
ton STAR in 1851. This series was
awarded the Washington News
paper Guilds Grand Award as
well as its Public Service Prize
for that year. BY promising not to
reveal names, Johnson obtained
hundreds Of interviews with both
Negroes and white men. The re-
suit was a hard-hitting, controver-
sial report; greatly expanded from
the newspaper series, 1t is Of spec
ial significance one hundred years
after Abraham Lincoln's Emancip-
alton Proclamation.
Haynes johnson, whose father,
Malcolm Johnson, was a Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist on the old
New York SUN, has made his
career in journalism and is now
