RICH MAN POOR MAN "
By Janet Ayer Fab-banks ' '
Hoashioa Mifflin Company, .1939
For once a long book does not
seem to : hare too ' many words.
Ton do not wish ; that. Mrs. Fair
banks bad left out two or three
hundred pages. Whether you are
Interested la the saga of tht' in
teresting Smiths lor yon are In
terested . In- the singularly lucid
analysis of the . period between
ltlt and II 29. the S2 6 pages do
not seem too many and you are
sorry when you haTS finished with
them. . Mrs. Fairbanks has dons
even a better Job In her "Rich
Man Poor Man" than her sister,
Margaret Ayer Barnes, , did 3 in
"Within this Present." -
While X have heard some objec-s
tlon to the title. I do not find it
objectionable In the least, Hen
dricks Smith was rich In material
things, but we leave him with a
feeling that . through his Inheri
tance he has lost some of the real
richness of Ufa, Not that we would
have him the "cause-ridden" man
whom Barbara thought she had
married, but thla la ahead of the
story. , - 'X - ; --C-'i ;
The book opensi with the nom
ination of Theodore Roosevelt In
111, and carries through to 1129
stopping Just short of the depres
sion. Hendricks Smith, the son
of a banker, and fresh out of Har
vard. Is the central character. He
breaks away from; tradition by
leaving the old "stand patters"
( who declared dismally that If
"T.R got lnto the White Houss
again hell never leave ' It") for
the Progressives (who were in
clined to feel "disaster is ahead"
It T. R. failed to make the elec
tion.) , ,v;; . . i ,,.; - i ; v-
While campaigning in Kansas,
Hendricks meets "the little li
brarian" who is also ardently cam
paigning for the Progressie party.
Before long they marry. -.
The young couple returns to
Chicago to start married life
among groups of Smith relations.
Smith friends and i Smith ' tradi
tions. From the first. Barbara,
unaccustomed to wealth . or lux
ury, does not feel at home. Her
new relatives keenly feel her In-.
ability at small-talk at dinner ta
bles, and she sees 110 reason for
talk when she has nothing to say.
During the campaign, Hendricks
quarrels with his father, and he
and his young' wife take refuge
with his grandmother, a woman
of remarkable understanding and
sympathies. Barbara retires to pri
vate life to await her first child.
Bat housekeeping, clothes.
Small talk, social affairs do not
Interest n Barbara" for ' long. Even
the baby cannot fill her time nor
hold her complete attention, and
when. the daughter! Is V scarcely
three weeks old, Barbara becomes
a sealous worked" for Woman's
Suffratre.-ls again affronts-her
father-in-law, and while Hend
ricks and hfs father make tin their
difference and the elder Smith
tolerates Barbara,-the oplnlons so
widely apart are keenly felt.
t Th wr breaks out, Hendricks
enlists and Barbara, continues to
Work tor suffrage, speaking, pic
keting, serving jail sentences all
in the Interest of the cause.
Hendricks returns from war In
hopes that Barbara will become
"normally domestic" but almost at
once loses this hope, and the rest
of the book is concerned with the
growing rift between : husband
and wife, and the eventual dis
solution of : their, marriage and
sabseaueat new marriages.
1 The foregoing is,: of course, a
mere skeleton of a really worth
while story. One of the most in
teresting features la the inter
relation of characters: Hendrlek's
first love. L.uey. who later is
France entangles ! him almost
against his will; of his sister, An
nette, who marries three f oreig
aers in a space of less than four
years r of Pete, a failure, except
or football, at eollege, but a huge
success la war; of Grandmother
Smith, a Klorious character;- of
Daniel Lunt a "family" lawyer of
the old school; and many others
who flash In and out of the pages,
each leaving a decided Influence.
I wish everyone would read the
story. If for no other rnumi ti...
to prove to himself that there is
efter all really nothing new under
the sun. The very vivid picture of
ineoaore Koosevelt-Woodrow
Wilson campaign, la retrospect. Is
not far different from the one we
Just passed through.! s -
It Is strange to recall that the
Question of w o m a n'a suffrage,
now taken so much as a matter of
course, formed the basis of a very
heated argument but a short while
ago. "People objected to our' attacking-
the president, but we feel
that as we were not allowed to
vote when he was elected we owe
him no allegiance. . And so far
as I am concerned, he went back
on his campaign pledge to keep
us out of war." as Barhin nu
Hendricks while she was. fighting
tor one cause at home and he for
another In Europe. :
"The day I was arrested," she
further wrote, "I was carrying a
banner which read: 'Kaiser Wil
son have yos forgotten how yon
sympathised with the poor Ger
mans because they were not' self
governed? Twenty million Ameri
can women are not self-governed.
Take the beam out of yourwn
eye "-. , .-N.--
. The story gives you sn amusing
picture. of the first surreptitious
use of rough and lip stick scarcely
z years ago, of "Senator Borah,
young, eager, and vigorous with a
plume of nnrnly - hair which he
swept, back now and then : from
hl3 forehead." "Rich 1 Man Poor
Han" gives yoa a colorful picture
of "ilax well street (in Chicago )
and the harsh sound of Rcsslan
and Yiddish Hendricks had nev
er seen anything in Europe which
impressed him so intensely for
eign." It gives yon Karl von Bitt
Bob!:
K'doic
er, the young German officer, vis
iting in America when the Euro
pean war broke out, and who said,
"In Europe one can go to war for
anything. All have armies no
cause is too trivial If the; time Is
rint-M And it kivea too a picture
of the time -when bankers were
the dictators. It was Banker Smith
who declared: f U -
This la 1914. Karl .'! . Not
the Middle Ages. Ton forget that
nations are tied togetner coaay.
Commercially In very j: way
they depend upon one f another.
There cant be a war. Ths; bankers
would not allow It," 1 1 1
For those who do not care for
politics and warn and causes, there
Is sufficient rich and human back
ground of love, of disappointment
and frustration.- For a moment,
after yon lay down the book, yon
almost feel frustrated. Tom do not
take kindly to having Hendricks.
with whom you have sympauusea
through C2f pages, left standing
"his vague discontent sharpened.
He coald see nothing ahead of him
but endless ease and uneventful
security." - ch.
But this feeling somewhat ehaa
rmm u ma coma ta the realisation
that, after all, how else could tt
end? Barbara and Hendricks had
grown so far apart that the rift
ceuld r never be satisfactorily
hMltl However, von do leave
the story with a certain nostalgia

Kansas with their young enthus
iasm, belore wars ana causes ua

: To the Editor: In a recent. Issue
pt tho statesman- there appeared
a short article in which tho writer
rejoices that no predicted Hooray
disaster befeU no In lit I. I won
der just ; what the-writer feared
would come la 1SI. WhHa X giro
little credence to tho pyranoudol
lgista as they are called I Will In
justice to them say that they did
not predict the end of thaJrorld or
any other disaster for that year,
bat they did aay that something
extraordinary would or might hap
pen in September of last; year. If
I remember the data correctly.
I do not know why so many
fear the and of tho world. The
standard students of prophecy ex
pect nothing of the kind; Where
it Is mentioned la the New Testa
ment it means Just the end of the
age. 'v;".--r'-rrf-::y;- I-:;.
What Is expected Is a hew dis
pensatien the beginning j of the
mlllennnm. MIHennum means just
one thousand years and the next
thousand years, according1 to stu
dents of prophecy, will be a time
of blessedness. j
.. The tradition that a thousand
years of rest and happiness' will
follow the first six thousand years
from tha creation of man Is Said to
be ottenound In the ancient writ
ings, of Pagans,; Jews and Chris
tians. It Is supposed to correspond
to the Jewish sabbath which fore
shadowed It. ; -
The end of the six thousand
years from the creation is hot off
in the distance as some think, ow
ing -to a mistake in tho . Nssher
Chronology. Nssher's mistakes are
obvious, for Instance, he allows
only three hundred and fifty years
for the period of tha judges, while
la acts we read that, the judges
ruled for four hundred and fifty
years. - He made other mistakes
too. So tho end of the six thou
sand years from Adam are said
to be close at hand.- --- -;..-'
Fewimen of learning have set
any dates for the ' beginning of
the mlllennnm, but hundreds of
the most scholarly men all through
the Christian era have given us
dates relating to tho restoration
of the Jews. Among these I might
mention Martin Luther, Sir Isaac
Newton, Edward Blckersteth and
E. B. Elliot. Even Joseph i spoke
of the dates given by. the prophet
Daniel and used tho year-day
thereof in his reckoning. The year
day theory Is that in prophecy a
day means a year. . v.. f
Towards the end of the5 .eigh
teentheeuth century and In the
beginning of the ninenteentb cen
tury many writers foretold that
the year 1824 would be the first
Important stage in the decline of
the Turkish empire. That i is ths
year ths Milienits expected the
end of ths world. Those who were

i Fifty or sixty years befor tho

that : am extraordinary aeries of

these predictions were fulfilled as

We are told that when the Jews
are gathered ia and the Gentile

and the MUlennums begin. Ths

Most of the prophecies relating
