Swift attacked Dick Steele. So serene a character as Macaulay| tell with such violence upop an editor who had the presumption to criticize ckintosh’s history that he got himself sued and even had to elide his re- marks in subsequent editions of his works. Pope charged Addison with presiding over a literary senete and sitting attentively to his own applause. Byron charged the Scotch reviewers with trying to put him down. “But in democratic America, we have under- stood, everybody is an author. Successful manu- fqcturers are besieged by publishers to write their views on international politics. Prize fighters! are best sellers. How should there be a literary! senate in a country where the literary suffrage is so widely held and universally exercised? But Greenwich Village knows what it knows. “It says art has no chance in competition with the com- mercial product puffed by the all-powerful clique. These literary log-rollers blurb for each other, turn and turn about, until the public is convinced the whole world must be buying and reading the books so puffed. 5 “Tf all this is true it seems to bear out what we ae wee have heard about the power of organization.

MPULE QUESTION of the possession of wealth by a person who aspires to public service is one of deep concern in many sections of the country.) Wealth, honorably secured, could not reasonably | be considered a bar to any further ambition the possessor might have. The use of it corruptly, however, to attain any object is of a certainty open to criticism and condemnation. In elabor- ating the subject the Boston Transcript thus speaks: “Up in Vermont the Swanton Courier, aided and abetted by the Burlington News, has been maintain- ing the startling thesis that the fact that a man is rich constitutes in’ itself a fair indication that he is fit for public service—fit to hold an office of importance. The Vermont reasoning is not at all that the man’s moncy helps him or should help him, in getting or in holding an office in any direct way; the idea is that in this country the fact that a man has won a fortune is generally an indication that he possesses initiative, activity and ability, and has had valuable experience. ‘The success of a man in private business, says the Burlington News, ‘ought to be a fair guage of his ability to’ yield good public service. To defeat a man for an office because he is wealthy is therefore, in ordinary cases, to defeat him because he is com- petent. “This reasoning seems to be good, in as far as the majority of instances are concerned. I appears, however, to ta wealth. It is not necessarily an indication of ability, of initiative, of activity, or of anything else except consanguinity, that a man ssesses in- herited wealth. His fortune, unlike that of the ‘self-made man,’ cannot be said to have proved his powers. But neither does it prove his lack of them; and the inheritance of a fortune at least relieves an aspirant from the assumed necessity of using office for the purpose of accumulating wealth. Respect for wealth—we might even say the vener- ation of wealth—is a very common characteristic of Americans. Why, then, should its possession often. and often quite successfully be urged against a man in conjunction with any proposition to put him into public place? Obviously, for one reason, because some rich men have used the expenditure of money to help them in a short cut to office; and for another and more important reason be- cause captains of industry are commonly suspected, in their relation to public affairs, of putting their heads together for the increase of their already large interests. The people do not dislike or sus- pect the rich man merely because he is rich; if they suspect him it is because they fear he is too friendly with other rich men. The interest of one man does not frighten them; it is ‘the interests,’ above all the corporate concerns, of a number of men that give them apprehension and lead to op- position. “It is the combination of capital, in short, which has brought about the unfortunate circumstances that our public life, in many cases, has lost the large advantage of the experience, the sagacity, the character, of men of wealth. In the days be- fore the corporation it was not so. Nobody thought it anything else to obtain the services, in public life, of men like George Washington, Robert Morris and Albert Gal- latin. But the ‘interlocking directorate’ has risen like a begy before the eyes of the American voter. The fear is not of individual wealth but of com- bined wealth. And this fear may yet be counted as one of the greatest of the disadvantages result-| ing from the process of combination, by means »f}! which the individual surrenders some part of his} freedom. It was remarked by Proudhon long ago that all men would prefer to be alone in business if they could—that partnerships and corporate or- ganizations are resorted to only to overcome the disadvantages of insufficient capital for a large purpose. It may also be remarked that the voting mass apparently has no aversion to the individu-| ally placed rich man like Mr. Henry Ford, but} begins to shudder at once when the man is sus-} pected of connection with ‘corporate interests.’ The} capability of exercising a larger measure of dis- crimination in this regard would be a happy ad- dition to the faculties of our electorate.” The Literary Trust. (HE SAD CHARGE is made that in New York a wicked clique of writers has taken possession of the temple of liteary fame and laughs demnibly at the expiring agonies of unrecognized geniuses before the door they howl without.” mourns the Ka City Star. | “If what is said is true the combination formed] by these conspirators comes dangerously near to| being in violation of the Sherman law. “Tis said the members of this clique have power- ful and mysterious influences by which the literary output of outsiders is smothered like the young princes in the Towers of London. The public never hears anything of these infants, except per- haps their last gurgles under the bolsters. But books and plays produced by those authors who have been admitted into the mysteries of the trust, if it may be called by that opprobrious name, are} hailed with every helpful acclaim and conducted to a rapid and blurberious sucess. “Can such things be? Is the literary character ke no account of inherited} than an advantage for the people) and put out not books indeed, but praise of books, in what manufacturers would call volume, why, we suppose it would be bound to have the same results that attend that system in other lines. We hardly know what the outsiders can do about it, unless, inded, they can manage to join the insiders. “We have recently heard of a publisher who bought the Ar-rican rights of a foreign book that he believed to be highly promising; he translated it (it was a French book), and printed five hun- dred copies as a starter. Of these he had, at last accounts, all but two hundred and is wondering why. To us the rason is plain enongh. We have read the book and it’s no good. But that is a reason that never satisfies either an author or a publisher. They retort that lots ef books that are| no good sell like good ones. Maybe so, that’s where the clique falls under suspicion. It’s a comfortable thought to unsuccessful writers that they are the victims of a conspiracy. At least it’s more com- fortable than to conclude that they do not deserve success. Maybe if they would organize a clique of their own they might get somewhere. But we don’t know.” Flapper Preparedness, “TXHE AVERAGE FLAPPER does not care for - privacy in the various details of making her | toilet,” observes the Los Angeles Times, She can | rouge her lips in the midst of the Broadway parade and comb out her bobbed locks while nibbling her eclaire lunch to the music of a jazz band. Her womanly idea of preparedness is to have her vanity box chained to her arm at all hours. She carries a make-up box instead of a prayer book or a nurs- ing bottle. We have seen a broiler dab her nose five times with a powder rag while traversing a single city block. Before the stenographer goes out to lunch sie holds active communion with her vanity case. She takes this essential equipment. with her. When she finds her chair in the restaur- ant out comes the powder rag for another caress. When the lunch is concluded there must be more powder and rouge, and possibly a call for the | manicure tools. No girl hesijates at making-up in a crowded street car or in the rush of traffic. She jcan cold-cream herself in front of the Grand Army of the Republic. She has about as much privacy as a snake charmer. She will not hesitate to | change nighties in the presence of the Archangel Gabriel. She will paint her eyebrows in honor of the American Legion, and roll her stockings in the company of the wide, wide world. She has learned to use a comb in the theater and her nail-polisher in church.

HE MAY ISSUE of Sunset magazine in discuss- .* ing the road problem suys: “The state of New Jersey is building a highway costing $100,000 a mile. In many other states the paving alone with- out the cost of right of way or grading, now runs from $30,000 to $40,000 a mile. Total highway ex- penses of all kinds last year exceeded $650,000,000 —and the bill the public has to pay grows every| year. We need more hard surface roads, we are} willing to pay for them—provided they last until the bonds have been paid off. Do they last? If not, what is destroying them prematurely? Pretty soon, at the present rate of increase, the road bill! will come right next to the income tax bill. Now| is the time to see whether we are getting our money’s worth? The article in Sumset gives facts and figures to show that by 1925 the road tax bill of the United States will equal $10 per capita or approximately $50 a year per family. We have already wasted hundreds of millions of dollars but out of it we have gained some experience. We have learned, in the west that a rigid base pavement will disin- tegrate nad shatter under heavy traffic unless! covered with a flexible wearing surface. The taxpayer from now on wants, first, a hartl| surface road that will outlive the bond issue which built it; next, he wants a minimum of maintenance cost on this road; then, he wants a type of road that will fill these requirements at the lowest first cost. < Here is the opportunity for our road, builders and engineers to show what they can do. pia eae Improvement In Iron and Steel. Esp in the iron and steel trade reported from Pittsburgh, and other centers appear to have settled to more stable basis and while it is maintained, it is apparent that pregressipn will be on a more orderly basis but such as is likely to keep steel mills employed for many months at good capacity. Steel prices are very firm all quoting advanced, or premium prices, for early delivery. The regular market on bars, shapes and plates is now $1.60, or about $5 a ton above the low point of some three months ago. Deliveries of these and other steel commodities are chiefly at lower prices than those now ruling. It has been the common ex- perience of the steel trade that it requires several months of heavy demand, after a depression to en- able the mills to work off old and low-priced orders and get into really’ profitable production. Accord- ingly the prospects for next autumn’s demand are being canvassed with particular interest. Actual consumption is believed to be increasing from month to month, and such increase may take up the! slack involved in some of the present deliveries of steel, being for replenishment of stocks, together with the differeneces between the present prodnc- tion rate, between 70 and 75 per cent of capacity, and the produation of which the industry yiit be pable when the coal strikes are all over. fe TTR | Ba The Tax Case.

As they came down to the little log raft used as a landing, Ted spied a gigantic box floating not far away. “It's a piano box,” he exclaimed. “What, do you want with it,” asked Ned; “to keep your fish hooks in?” could make a dandy camp out of it." said Ted, ignoring Ned's attempt at wit. “Honestly?” Ted nodded. “Then Tl ask Mr. Peters for it,” and Ned ran back to the saw mill man and asked him. Mr. Peters wus quite willing. He had no use for the box—it had drifted down from the summer colony ten miles above. And so Ted fastened ‘@ rope to it and the boys towed it back to the island. It was hard work row- ing the boat and dragging the heavy box, but they managed it and got it up on the level giound above the beach by means of sapling rollers. Before the weck was up they had gathered enough lumber and secured some second-hand tarred paper and two old cold-frame windows from Mr. Petes and set to work. “You must show me,” said Ned, still doubtful about making a camp large enough for two out of the plano box. “I will, A friend of mine who lived in the sudurbs made one in his back yard and .‘m sure I can remember how to do it,” insisted Ted. “All right.
