JPTON SINCLAIR has drawn
a dark picture of things In
the Chicago stock yards
and meat packing houses.
If half he tells Is true,
there Is not much hope for
the workers, and still less
for the maria gers. Every
body Is going to the bad.
including the mayor and
city council. Well, there is
this consolation, the scien
tists, those tnen who attach
as much or more impor
tance to the generative features of spider-
life than they do to the moral inconsis
tencies of the human life, are not alarmed.
It Is doubtful. Indeed, if anything could
alarm on© °f them. They have the long
distance vision which passes over our
present vices and every kind of mortal
inconvenience as the Intricate kicking of
the race which has not yet been born out
of the great womb of destiny. We think
we have been born, of course; we have all
the adversities of living, but. the scientist
says that we have not. that is, not alto
gether. And according to his point of
view, which is the infinitely long-distance
one. the great issue before us is not the one
between labor and capital, hut it is be
tween the sexes. When the sexes are
perfectly adjusted to one another, we shad
have no more troubles; that is, nothing
that we do not understand and cannot
remedy. Everybody will be just as able,
just as strong, male or female, as any
body else. There will be no more babies
born, even In packing town, "with the
rickets.” Exactly why this will be so is
not clear to a layman, of course, but it is
clear to the man who knows it. Here is
Dr. Lester Ward, one of the leading so
cialists, telling us that "when complete
equality (of sex) shall be reached, and
not until then, the human race will be
really prepared to begin its career. Han
dicapped by tliis worst of all inequalities,
it has been incapable of any great action,’■
except the abortive kind which Mr. Sin
clair describes of magnificent cruelties and
horrible crimes, and may be the little pre
natal studying we have done along po
litical. social, scientific and spiritual lines,
preparatory for the life of the taco when
It really does get born.
•‘Freed from these trammels,” he goes
on, "and doubled in its powers (that is,
by the practice of a sort of woman's
rights monogamy) it can then at last en- j
ter upon th e real task that lies before it
and work out its grand destiny.”
This means that we are still in a primi
tive amorphous state, and poor Mr. .Sin
clair has got the wrong bull by the horns.
Instead of raging around the Chicago
stock yards, telling tales on the "Durham
Company,” he should pause and reflect.
It is a waste of energy to proclaim so
cialism. We are not ready for socialism.
What we ought to do. what every one
ought to do, is to discover, if we can,
what "equality of sex" really means. All
we know for certain is that it is at the
very remote and of wliai xji. x-cster Ward
calls the "cosmological perspectove,” and
he thinks that Charlotte P^rk.ns
Stetson Gilman recognizes what it is even
at that distance. Some of us have sus
pected from the arbitrary exercise of
choice, Mrs, Gilman has showed in some
matters that she still belonged to the fe
male. or “matriarchal” age. a sort of re
version to type, but it is all the more cred
itable in her then to be able to see so
far along the “cosmological perspective.”
The only thing that is clear to the rest of
us is the obligation to preach and prac
tice monogamy. But. Mr. Sinclair is impa
tient. He lacks that scientific peace or
mind which is founded upon a future sa
remote as that described by Dr. Ward.
He cannot be happy in his own lifetime be
cause some one has made a profound
study of spiders, and by a sort of biolog
ical deduction, proves that everything in
the human family will come right in a
thousand years or so. Sinclair, who is
in a very primitive sympathetic state him
self, thinks of the generations in the
packing towns that will die hungry and
"homeless hams.” In this we may se
cure better health for the race when it is
born and roa-dy for Its "grand destiny.”
MRS. L. H. HARRIS.
The Way of an Indian.
“The Way of an Indian” is a fascin
ating revelation of the red man's soul,
and Frederick Remington has at once
added to his reputation as an artist the
undeniiable distinction of poet and
psychologist. It Is a grim narrative
rubricated with the blood of the slain,
ibut the charm of wild, open llfle, the
myserious voices of nature, the whis
pering silences of night and the glories
of the morning and the sunset at times
give It a lyrical quality. Mr. Reming
ton's touch is sure, and his style is as
clear and stimulating as the air of the
prairies. "The Wey of an Indian” is
a great human document, and so close
ly is the writer in sympathy with the
subject, so surely and convincingly does
lie see that we. in the midst of our
complex and perplexing civilization, fol
low the career of White Otter, the Fire
Eater, with more than a friendly inter
est. In tlie literature dealing with a
fast disappearing race this book must
(hold a high place. As literature, gaug
ed by any standard, It will endure for
long. The book is published iby Fox,
Duffleld & Co., Now York.
Christian Origins.
In his “Christian Origins," published
iby B. W. Huebsch, New York, Professor
Otto Pfleiderer. of the Berlin university,
enriches theological literature with a
much needed volume. The strands of
thought which through more than tour
centuries of curious interweaving com
bine to make u.p the history of the
teachings of Christianity, lie has pre
sented in a clear and succinct Style.
The reader's interest does not wane from
the beginning with Socrates to Hie con
clusion in Rome.
Certainly, the author of "Christian
Origins" has fulfilled his prefatory
promise to his 'readers, in showing what
Christians ought to know and think
about the beginnings of the Christian
religion, in presenting the viewpoint of
modern historical science, but, above ail.
in leading them to distinguish between
'the ephemeral and the permanent truth
in early Christianity.

Mr. Egerton Castle's forthcoming
novel, “If Youth But Knew,” is said to
have the same kind or atmosphere as
“The Pride of Jennlco,” from which it
differs, however, both as to story and
as to method of telling it. The refrain of
an old Frenchh song:
“Si jeunesse savn
Si vieillesse ipouvalt
(If age but knew ... if age were
able. . . !) gives the keynote of the tal.e.
Unavoidable delay has occurred in the
publication of the "Collected Library
Edition,” in two volumes, of the "Poems
,&nd Plays" of <Mr. W. B. Yeats; hut it 19
now hoped that the edition can be made
ready for issue In 'May. Mr. Yeates (has
come to he an important man in modem
literature, and also In the life and
thought of England. He Is now ranked
as one of the heralds of the new dawn in
English literature, and a factor In the
reaction against Imperialistic writing.
“Mr. Yeats,” says a recent writer on this
subject, “is at the heart of that national
revival in life and literature which, in
the past few years, lias made Ireland, on
the remote boundaries of Europe, the
center of one of the few living and com
pelling movements of the age.”
It is reported that Myra Kelly is pre

supple and robust. He wore a kind of
loos* tunic of some black cloth, buttoned
up to the throat, and trousers of the
same stuff; his boots were of soft leather;
about his waist he wore a leather belt
with ornaments of carved silver. His face
is notably flat and care-worn, and his |
powerful brow Is creased with many
lines; ihts blond hair is pushed back and
sticks up in tufts; his strong Jaiw is
covered by, a sparse, reddish beard; tils

they are the eyes, not of a mystic, but
of a man of action who has suffered; In
fact, It is the energetic and worn face

In contradiction to the general Impres
sion that Gorky was bom In misery and

The Portreeve.
One of the most notable novels of the
i new year Is "The Portreeve." Mr. Eden
j Phlllpotts has been steadily gaining in
j art and power since the appearance of the
j first book which brought him into the
genuine regard of those readers who look
to fiction for entertainment and some
thing more. His latest novel has been
greeted more heartily by the general
public than any of his former books; while
at the same time it has roused the re
viewers to unusual enthusiasm. The esti
mate of “The Portreeve” and its autnor
in The New York Evening Post's long and
careful review sums up the general
opinion of Mr. Phillpotts' new book per
haps better than any other:
“Twelve months ago. when Eden Phill
potts published 'The Secret -Woman.’ the
book was universally accepted as the best
work of this novelist. But in seeking
comparisons for ‘The Portreeve,’ one is
compelled to ignore all previous efforts
by Mr. Phillpotts; It is necessary to in
voke Thomas Hardy’s ‘Mayor of Caster-
bridge' or ‘The Return of the Native.'
The definiteness of intention in the book
is never aliowefl to excuse less than ex
cellence in detail; each chapter not only
advances the theme and sustains the

Air Interview With Gorky.
HProm “Tales.”)
A French Journalist who has been

visit to Maxim Gorky at Yalta, and
serjds an Interesting account of the Rus
sian writer to The Temps. “While Gorky
was spealiing.” says the journalist, “I
through the world, to see men and things;
so he ran away. The necessity of gain
ing his living, the still more imperious
love of change, his unflagging desire
to see men, made of him a wanderer
throughout the vast domain of Russia.
He has crossed many times from north
to south, from east to west, from the
wooded shores of Finland to the bold
peaks of the Caucasus. It may be noted
as an amusing fact, by the 'way. that In
the eyes of the Russian government he
has remained: what lie was to have beer.;
the official papers in which the accusa
tion was brought against him describe
him as ‘Maxim Gorky, house painter and
man of letters.’
‘It has been said that he was illiter
ate,’' continued the French reporter.
“That is not correct. In his wanderings
i young man he felt so strongly
tne need of educating himself that dur
ing hiB life of trials there were whole
years when he devoted much of his
nights to devouring the works of the
classic Russian and foreign authors. ‘My
husband was very poor at that time,’
said Mme. Gorky; ‘he had not the money
to buy candles, so he used to fill old
sardine boxes with all the bits of fat ha
could find, and he used a piece of cloth
as a. wick. But that poor light was so
bad that in tlie course of time he con
tracted an affection of the eyes which
almost left him blind.’ ”

It Is not of these, hoiwever, that we

the beef trust and municipal corruption

see the temples of art employed as
shambles; to know that every once fra

must be sacrificed to civic duty. But the

The Candy Heart.
From out her little dinner pail
She took a cookie plump and brown;
She slipped it underneath my desk—
And I, a bumpkin and a clown.
Forthwith proceeded to invite
My appetite and dull its smart;
But ere I put It out of sight
I saw it bore a candy heart.
Ah! When her glossy pig tall curl
Made way for frizzes, iwihy deny
She managed both by -hooK or crook
To pass me comfits on the sly?
At recess when we stood apart
And wove the daisy chain, ah! she
Broke (with her teeth the candy heart
And gave the better half to me.
And when the dally lessons were
A11 said and done and put away,
And we strolled -hand in band along
The maple lane at close of day—
We leaned upon the rustic rail
To watch the rivulets below
Scatter their bubbles in the trail
Of the pale moonlight’s silver glow.
Tonight the little candy heart
I find among my treasures;
A something sacred, an? it seems,
To me a kiss from paradise.
A candy heart, a golden tress.
Ah, as my fingers gently caress,
My lips they sigh: "Sweetheart of
mine.”
