t THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PATT ROAT, NOVEMBER 13. w LITERARY LIGHTS AND SHADOWS By S. MAYS BALL (Arthur Pendennli, Jr.) THE MOSHER BOOKS. (Issued by Thomas 3. Mosher, Esq., Portland, M«lne ) Some of. the publishers of r 00 k" who make a specialty of pro ducing superior bindings, paper, etc., claim thst ths South, and Atlanta es pecially. does not appreciate good Workmanship, cither In the printing of the text or the binding of books. It claimed, with Borne reason, that the Kouth is peculiar In this and should wake ut. One of these publishers— Mr Thomas B. Mosher, of Portland. Maine—sends to The Georgian some samples »f his artistic work. The books, with titles given below, are beautiful editions, lmnd bound, and printed upon a ne paper, at very reasonable prices. The books would be Ideal gifts. There la aomethlng distinctive about a hand some book as a gift—better than any thing one could select—with which to nleaae a discriminating friend. And all of our friends are discriminating, or we make believe we think they arc. Tile books submitted by Mr. Mosher to prove his contention that Atlanta and the South generally aro behind the times, at lenst In appreciation rf good work at reasonable prices, are 1 ■■ fol lowing little classics: "Crabbed Ago and Youth and Other Essays.” (Robert Louis Stevenson.) ■The Houso of Beauty." (Fiont M "t'ynara—A Little Book of Verse.' (Ernest Dawson.) “The Book of Ecclesiastes." “A Little Book of 24 Carols." (Kath- fl “S < tars n of n Thought.” (Ralph Enter ,0 "Drcnm ol Provence. Wedmore.) "The Distant Country." (Fiona Mac. leod.) (Frederick “THE GRANDIS8IMES,” by George tv Coble. (Charles Scribner's Sons.) The publishing house of Charles Scrib ner's Sons has recently Issued a new edition of "The Grandlsslmes,” by Mr. George \V. Cable. This classic of New Orleans, Issued about twenty year* ago, and now sent forth afresh by the oubllshers, Is a beautiful edition, one worthy (almost) of the text. There Is no need to discuss the plot of "The Grandlsslmes" at this late day. Every body who reads, or claims to, knows all about the story—that it tjeals with the olden times of New Orleans (1803), and that It Is the best picture of New Orleans, of the period written about, ever published. "The Grandlsslmes” Is one of the few books, comparatively sneaking, that one would care to read many times. And now that It Is pub lished in a new, handsome dress, It should be very popular with people seeking Christmas gifts. There Is an impression among per sons who do not live In New Orleans that Mr. Cable Is, to a certain ex tent, "persona non grata" In the Cres- tent City, Mr. Cable lived In New Or leans for a long time and baa written some unfortunate things on the negro question, which may be the reason that real New Orleans people feel unkindly toward him. It certainly can not be that they resent hi* pictures of the creole life down there any more than the Charlestonians resent Mr. Owen Whiter** . charming picture of old Charleston In "Lady Baltimore.” But there are a great many Charlestonians and a great many New Orleans people who resent any Innovations whatever, and any discussions of their social status, past or present. It Is generally understood by the persons on the out- slde of those two fascinating cities, that In the case of Charleston Provi dence was compelled to send an earth quake to wake them up, which, how ever, did not do much good; ' And Ip the case of dear old New Orleans, yel low fever and levee breaks were sent heretofore by an all-wise Providence to drive the people out of the rut—send them forth Into other cities; that the fact that the war Is over and other Im portant Items might be discovered. But New Orleans begins at once to strengthen the levees and build sewers (to prevent the yellow fever), bo that her good citizen* can remain at home. Providence will likely send something else. If they don't watch oat, to en large their vision, ... There are many old ladles now living on ths French side of Canal street In Now Orleans, who can speak no word of English, and are proud of It. There Is, or was a few years »*«• 11 old lady who lived on Esplanade street who could read, but refused to speak English, and had never been across Cunai street to the hated "Americans side of the city. She resented stoutly ihe fact (which she was powerless to alter) that her grandchildren attended dances, parties, etc., with tho hated “Americans" on the othor side of Canal street. 'The arar.dlaslmcs" gives us a pic ture so alluring, so delightful, of creole life In tho earthly nineteenth century (and lota of It la true now), that It la only necessary to oall attention to a new, beautifully bound and llluatratad edition of the beat story of New Or leans yet written, and to add that It would be dlfllcult to surpass In Inter est and charm this delightful story. "LIGHT FINGE"RED GENTRY." (By David Graham Phillips. (D. Appleton * Co.) Mr. David- Graham Phillips has written a atory, called "Light Fin gered Gentry,” which from either one of two viewpoints Is Interesting. As a love atory or a document against predatory wealth. It ,4b readable. In the former case—the love story does hot appeal—while In tho latter view of tho book the reader Is likely to say "Aro all of Mr. Phillips' charges true, had If so, how do I know they are?' Mr. Phillips has joined to • n "muck fake" tract a romance between two People, who don't appeal at all to MS readers, simply because- his characters don't "live" in the mind's eye of the reader; they are actors upon a stage- marionettes—who walk this way and *alk that, because Mr. Phillips moves them so; not because they are full- "looded human beings. But while, as stated above, ths story of “Light Ftn- 8'red Gentry" Is Interesting, we have a rlsljt to expect—not n moral tract Incorporated Into a novel. Novels shouldn’t preach, and If they do, they Jail always In their primary objects. 01 course there have been some novels, written by masters, which have revo lutionised existent conditions. Mr. Dickens changed certain serious facts m the private schools In England; Mr. -■Arles Reads revolutionised private l®*ane asylums, and Mr. Upton Sinclair doubt did good work with his "The Jungle." I But when a writer attempts to fhunge the heart or habits of either a ■enk and Insurance magnate or a rall- h«d ' water-cooler." he has under- taken a task that Is worthy of com mendation. If foolish, and hopeless. Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., and others much, much greater then he, have said •eat the leopard's spots can not be •radicated or even changed. But that would be no doubt a simpler Job to un- Uertake them to reach the "money pow- " by novels—or anything else— **uetione<( simply by argument and Sond reaaonlng. Unless the writer or JPeaker against the wrong* of the common people" was a Mrs. Chad- "She looked upon an unmasked, noble countenance.” Uustratlon from "The Grandis- atmes." Just an anarchist, simply a socialist; M wants to pull down the stablo gov ernment." On the other hand. If n Mrs. Chadwick became busy—oh, well, we all know how the Mrs. Chadwicks affects bankers, for she certainly, If any one ever did, understood the mon ey power and played It as it can be played again by the smart, unscrupu lous man or woman. 'Light Fingered Gentry" has for Its hero a young man who beuomea dis satisfied with his wife because he doesn't "understand" her, nor, as he says, does she understand him. So Armstrong and his wife separate. Mrs. Armstrong to study art and her per sonal appearance, and Armstrong to become In quick time the president ot tho great Insurance company in New York called the “Mutual Association Against Old Age and Death." Arm strong goes his upward way to suc cess, circumvents alt of his enemies, defrauds his associates and cantlnually llts by Insinuation to all with whom he comes In contact He Is, of course, a great business success, for he start ed out right and continued to bo a ma. nlpulator, which latter term means anything from grand larceny to pick pocketing. Neva Armstrong, now Miss Neva Carling, arrives In New York and meets a great painter, Boris, who In stantly sees that she, Neva, Is a beauty, natural and unconscious. So Boris fixes her up, at least he makes Neva dress differently. He has her arrange her hair and clothes according to his taste, and then Boris falls In love with Neva. Of course Armstrong runs across his wife again and discovers that he has mhde a great mistake In separating from this now beautiful woman, so he lays siege to Neva’s heart and begs to be taken back. As she is now beautiful, he thinks sho is bound to "understand" him. Thus the story goes, mixed up with high finance nnd love. One chapter devoted to love, the next to high finance. Armstrong, who does not deserve It, wins In both affairs. He overturns his enemies and some of his friends, and Neva agrees to remarry him, and the book ends. The story Is Interesting, but In Just the same way a* we read of some dally happening out, say. on the Pacific coast. Such plots do not Interest or thrill us because we do not "know" the people at Issue. We really do not care, while reading the story, whether Neva does this or that, or whether Armstrong Is victorious In his financial and love campaigns or the other fellow, be cause Mr. Phillips has not caused his characters to appeal to us. Being semi-machine made, they do not "warm up” to us and we say that "whatever Mr. Phillips does with his people it Is all right with us.” We take no side* and the author falls when he doe* not compel his readers to Take sides, and that strenuously. But even so. The Georgian still think* that 'Light Fin gered Gentry” 1* entertaining. "JUDAH P. BENJAMIN." By Pierce Butler. (George W. Jacob* ft Co.) To read of the life of "Judah P. Benja min " especially the latter part of It, la like reading a romance. For here was a man who, because of the /allure of the Confederacy, was utterly penniless and compelled td escape prison by tak ing passage in an open boat to the West Indian lalands. Profeasor Pierce Butler haa written a most Interesting and valuable history of Mr. Benjamin, awl. as the author says in his preface, -American history certainly. «»rej1y contain* the record of a peraonallty more Intrinsically Interesting thgntbi* of ‘Judah P. Bepjamin,’ the Jewish lawyer and statesman, who after con- spicuous success at the bar in tms country, after continuous service In the leadership of the Confederacy, again achieved the most honorable triumphs at the bar of England. Professor Butler, In preparing hi* work, was met by a great many diffi culties In, collecting data regarding the life of Mr. Benjamin, and nothing stood In the way of a successful completion ao much as letter* from Mr. Benjamin himself, found after hi* death. letter Mr. Benjamin wrote. I have read to many American biographies which reflected only the passion* and prejudices of their writers, that I do not want to leave behind me Otters and dooiimpnti to bo used in such fl worK about^myeelf." Etat Profewor Butler rifivertheless has collected a 8 rent amount of authoritative data and has made a very Interesting and instructive book of this biography. Judah P. Benjamin was born Au- crust 6 mi on 8t. Thomas Island. He wlnt to New Orleans In 1828, after two yeaiii M Yale university. He taught school In New Orleans and studied law.

A SIX-CYLINDER COURTSHIP- By Edward Salisbury Field (The John McBride Co.) Whether “The Williamsons" Inau gurated the "motor-mad" style of pres ent day literature Is not the Issue. The question is, that this “plague of Egypt” having descended upon Ameri ca—what arc wo to do about It? Not very much, If we care to read and keep up with tho literature of today. Who can tell what the Williamson* and their kind could have written about—or at least succeeded in publishing—had they begun literary work before the days of the motor car. Judging by their present offerings, the answer Is: that they could net have done very well with horses, hr*ftu wagons, vic torias and go-carts, to say nothing of baby carriages. But ono of tho best of the “motor- mad" stories hn* recently been Issued, called "A Six-Cylinder Courtship," by Edward Salisbury Field, who "hap pens" to be from Indiana. There must be something the matter with the soil or perhaps It Is tho air ul> there In Indiana. Anyhow, If wo must read about a motor car and Us Idenllzcd personalities, with experiences which never could have occurred with car riages, go-carts, etc., then "A Six- Cylinder Courtship" Is hereby recom mended. Not only because It really Is well written, but because the book Is beautifully gotten up with a fron tispiece by Hafrlson FI,her and a number of Illustrations by Mr. Clarence F. Underwood. The owner of an auto mobile meets a lovely girl who Is wait ing to hire a car. "William Snowden," the millionaire owner, rents his car to Miss Marian Standlsh, the waiting young girl. Snowden giving his name as that of "Bill Snow”—and you can see the answer! For It is there, right at the beginning of the story. What? Simply that Wllilam Snowden In time, after many experiences, makes him self known to Miss Standlsh (which of course she knew nil ot the time), and he marries the. girl. It Is an exceedingly bright little book. It will do most acceptably for a gift book. In the holiday season. And If any one cares to send It to a young girl or man who has not a motor cor (and does not want one—are there any?) a catalogue of some manufac turer of automobiles should also be sent to act as a glossary and explain what the author really means to say regarding such terms us "clutch," "short circuits," "chewed up bearings,” "striped gears," "carbureters," "switch plugs” and so on. Possibly that will be unnecessary In this progressive age. "THE NEGRO—A MENACE TO CIVILIZATION.” By R. W. Shuf- feldt, M. D. (Rich. G. Badger—The Gorham Press.) The quotation from the writings of John Cameron Grant, used by the author of “The Negro—A Menace to American Civilisation," on his title page, Is the key-note to the book. It Is that "A mixed race; a fatal stumbling block that has Cost more than one Latin race the crown of em pire." Dr. Shuffeldt has gone Into his subject very thoroughly, and has made his contentions very plausible. He studies the negro from the viewpoint of their being on entirely different race In every particular from the white, which they are, and goes on to prove the dangers of allowing a mixing not only* of the blood, but the people of the two races, which Is also true. Such books should be written, of course, and ought to he read by those who care to enlighten themselves upon this sub- But the trouble about publication on this (always-wlth-us) negro question Is. that the authors knock ua down with appalling statements, which we South, cm people know are true, and they frighten us with this and that contin gency. The authors tell us that If the Southern people do not do something nnd that quickly, there will be trouble to come. But they don’t tall us what to do. This reviewer has endeavored ■luring enforced Idleness to read all tho hooka possible, written upon or about this negro question, but after all, his attention to this subject, ho la exactly where lie started. Which is, that ad mitting all of tho terrible consequences of the Southern people's failure to rec. ognlze their danger, what ought they to do? That Is the whole question. What ought the Southsrn people to do that they are not doing now? And Dr. Shuffeldt’a moat Interesting book. In which he arrays appalling facts and undeniable figures of criminal assaults, lynching*, etc., the author gives us not one single answer to this awful ques tion. True he advocates In a measure the transporting of the negroes to LI beria, the Philippines or somo other place—just so It la far enough to not bother ua—but when a writer under takes to discuss the transporting of 11,000,000 of human beings, white or black, from a place or country where they want to remain, to a far-away country, to which they refuse to go, the reader may not lose patience with the book, but he will wonder about other statements In Its pages. It Is such a large question that only by study, aided by such books as this one discussed, can anything be accom plished? But going back to the origi nal statement In this reviow. It la hard to discover from any plan yet found by this reviewer that the South can do one thing more, tin to alleviating Ua burden, than it is trying to do now. At hast these books already digested, do not point out any plausible way. Neither can tha subject bo dismissed os it was by a well-informed gentle man of Atlanta, a friend hf The Geor gian, who being told that this reviewer waa reading Dr. Shuffeldt's book, par tially advocating the deportation of the negro he said, "Well, when you and DAVID GRAHAM PHILIPS.

In "Light Fingered Gentry”,the husband Is a mls-mated matrimonial tnnplej became dissatisfied with Ills wire, and he wanted to dissolve partnership, which he did, then he was sorry. In "Mafoota;" by Dolf Wyllarde, If Is the other way around. The pretty innocent wife, discovering that her 1 husband in Jamaica haa been making love to tho many women, she rebel*. This pretty wife. Mrs. Hllller, came out from England to Join her husband ta Jamaica. On this ship was a school girl friend of Mr*. Hllller named Elea nor Honeouran, who had an uncle "Dick Bryces,” a large horse and cattlh rancher In the bland of Jamaica. El eanor Honeouran died cn ehtp beard and whan -Mr*. Hllller arrives at Klng- has been a little Indiscreet with other women, to say the least. So Mrs. Hit her decides to go to "Uncle Dick" Pryce under the name and as the girl (his niece) Mins Eleanor Honeouran, w hom Uncle Dick has never seen. This Mrs. Hllller does and the story Is about her experiences on this ranch. In Ja maica ranches aro "penns." From an unsophisticated young girl v/ho had married early, Mrs. Hllller, now known as Eleanor .Honeouran. becomes quite up-to-date. She learns to manage the ranch, rides man fashion, entangles her interesting self In the heart of good old Dick Pryce, who, by the way, knew all of the time tho circumstances about his real niece's death ns well as Mrs. Hll* tier's unhappy matrimonial experiences. So old Dick lets her stay with him until tho "other woman," having thrown Hllller down, he comes back, a long, long way back, it seems to this reviewer, to his wife. They are recon ciled, of course. The book couldn't have found a publisher If the Ill-treated wife had acted as any injured woman would (but usually does not) do. The two disrupted people, Mr. and Mrs, Hllller, start nil over again and there you ore—at the end of the book. The author "calls a spado a spade;" there is no doubt about that. The de scriptions of Jamaica and the culti vation of the Island, tho negro question there nnd Its Incident half-breeds, quadroons and octoroons, are fear lessly discussed. The book le very In ('resting and It is something of a new field that the author takes up. Every Family Medicine Shelf ought to contain which is a bottle of Antiseptically Cleanses A Household Surgical Dressing for cuts, burns, bruises, sores, skin dis eases, catarrh, or all wounds and exter nal affections, whetberslight or serious. A preparation unlike any other, originated by an Old Railroad Surgeon. It is easily applied by any one, and at tb« same time combines all of the medicinal qualities necessary to a careful and scientific treatment of injured nnd diseased parts of the skin or flesh. It is sought after au<l continually used by all who give it a first trial. All druggists sell it. 25* PLAN OF GEORGIAN’S POPULAR VOTING CONTEST The Georgina’s popular voting content la open to all respectable women la Georgia between tho years of 15 and 50.

Mr. Robert Hlchen, surely caught the "atmoephere” ot the Ara bian desert and has put it Into bis book*. Mr. Stew&rt Edward White has done the same *ood work for the Ari zona desert. Most of us can not speak from experience a, to which of these author, treats the Arizona desert cor rectly or not. Mr. White writes more truthfully as regards Arizona "atmos phere,” If you will, than any other au thor who has undertaken the work. A party of four young "lunger*," one each from Philadelphia, New Orleans, Baltimore and Atlanta, who were then “hunting ozone" at Oracle, Arizona, drove over one day down the Cata lina mountains to locate. If they could, another "marooned” creature from At lanta, then hibernating at Mammoth, Arizona, some 14 mile* away. The road or trail led tha party up and down sides of what we would call In Georgia high mountain*, and the banker from New Orleans (he of the generally supposed attributes, high browed mentality and otherwise that all bankers are said to have), gazing off at tho wonderful view spread out before them, said: "If only some writer could put Into book* what we are seeing now!” None of the party felt equal to it. But one of them has Just now called the attention ot this reviewer (who wa* with the party) to the fact that Mr. Stewart Edward White haa done this very work, and It Is In hi* new publication, called "Arizo na Nights.” The book la made up of a number of short stories, all about life and the cowboys and other people out in Arizona. It Is a gem of It* Kind —that 1* what it really I*. And If any reader of Tha Georgian want* to find out Just how the country, the desert and the people look and act out in Ari zona, then he should by all mean* read "Arizona Night*;” there I* nothing bet ter to be had. "And when the night fell," say* Mr. White In one of hie stories, "and the topaz and violet and saffron and ame thyst and mauve and lilac had faded suddenly from the Chirlcahua*. like a veil that bad been rent and the ram- part* had become slate gray, then black, th tsoft-breathed night wandered here and there over the desert and the land fell under an enchantment, even stranger than the day’s." Then of the daytime; "And all about lay the ilcsart. shimmering, changing. many-Unted. wonderful, hemmed In by the mountains that seemed tenuous and thin, like beautiful mist* and by the aky that eeemafi hard and polished like a turquoUe."

(L. C. Page ft Co.) Mr. Nevln O. Winter In his "Mexico and Her People of Today" haa written' a very entertaining book, giving there an account of the cue- toms, characteristics, amuaementa. history and advancement of the Mexi cans and the development and re- aources of their country. The boo If Is Illustrated from original photographs by the author and Me C. R. Blrt. It Is an Intimate document, based on ex perience* with and life among Ihe Mex icans. and l* very handsomely gotten really very little about our "eleter re public," and no doubt that le one of the reasons that Mexico and her people and affairs are attractive to us. What ever Mr. Winter may say of the people generally, they are a sorry lot, nnd no mistake. This reviewer ha* been In parts of Mexico described by Sir. Win ter, and his statements are true, but flattering. There Is no lower class upon this continent than tht? peons of Mexico, and the terrible part of It all le that they don't want to change their condition; they resent any "foreign In terference" looking to a betterment of their condition, and the majority of Mexicans are utterly unreliable anil will "stick a knife In you" the first time you turn your back. It Is necessary, though? to turn your back. One Is al ways safe facing a Mexican, safe a* to bodily harm—not as to distressing sights of filth and Indecency. The coun try has developed, of course. No coun try or people could remain on this continent and not progress some. But most or all advancement made by the people of Mexico has been literally forced upon them, which the people there yet resent r.nd strenuously—when the back is turned. But Mr. Winter's book Is very Interesting. We were only discussing Just then the advance- merit, by their own means, not the up and very interesting. Wo know country’s advancement generally, be cause It Is an undoubted fact that tha Americans who have Invested largo sums of money in Mexico have dons wonders—wonders especially notable when we remember w hat kind of peo ple were ohniructlng and do still ob struct the way. “THE LITTLE DEVIL.” There Is published In Los Angeles.
