A MATTER OF TIME.
William Randolph Hearst seems to have a continued grudge against
President Wilson. A few days ago
one or his newspapers pointed out
how much the business interests of
me country ao not love the new
cabinet Mr. Bryan the radical, Mr.
McReynolds the trust buster, Mr. Me
Adoo president of a corporation that
can't even pay the interest on its own bonds, Mr. Lane an arbitrary cuss when it comes to railway ruJ-
ings, etc. Wonder why Achilles
sulks in his tent?
We venture to predict that Brother
Hearst will not be the only democrat that will be finding fault before many months hence. Of course, there aren't enough jobs to go around to ail the faithful, and, if before long,

Lincoln-Jefferson league, the Lake County Democratic Marching club

H00SIEB, PHILOSOPHY.
Among the Inaugural orations of
American Presidents that of William Henry Harrison achieved immortality because of its frequent references to
Roman history. It has been styled the pro-consul inaugural, but unaccurateiy. If we are not mistaken, no pro-consul appeared in the address although it swarmed with consuls, emperors, tribunes, equites and ordinary Roman citizens. Vice-President Marshall's speech to the Senate yesterday won similar distinction as a literary effort. It will t be remembered for many a day as the blinders inaugural on account of its remarkably novel, elaborate and long sustained metaphor of the harness, in which the Senate figures as the blinders that prevent the people from shying at imaginary dangers and upsetting the Government into the ditch. The ingenious "tropes of Mr. Marshall's speech are superficial features,
Behind them it is gratifying to discover the sense of solemn responsibility and the patriotic intentions so modestly but sincerely indicated; and
particularly his clear perception of the supreme importance of preserving the nation's honor in the matter of treaty, obligations. Good fortune to him in the chair of the Senate of the
United States! New York Sun.

THERE is a man in Detroit who
claims to be an expert physical and
mental counterpart of Pres. Wilson. Perhaps we have been listening to
the wrong man.
HARD ON THE MAJOR. When President Wilson announced
that he intended to refer all applications for office to the heads of the
several departments, he sounded the
death knell of the aspirations of
Major Menzies, of Indiana, who
yearns to be governor-general of the
Philippines. For under the announc ed rule the application of this brim
stone warrior would be referred to
William J. Bryan, secretary of state. And Mr. Bryan , has a seething
memory In which certain little Inci

GREAT SHORT STORY NOT DEAD.
One of the big magazines, the Cen
tury, has just started in to reprint each month, one of the short storeis that have become classics. It would
be interesting to know just what pur pose lies behind this resurrection, whether it is an admission, on the
part of so eminent an authority, that
it cannot get the grade of stories it desires and hence must revive old fa
vorites,: whether 1t ' is an attempt tO !JllmurAte1arg1n,gfehtTor' wli'ether
it puts these evidences of olden skill by modern crafsmanship to show the
superiority of the present.
In this it would only be adopting the Idea of Bliss Perry, who believes
that the Bkill of the present-day short story has gone so far that it cannot
be improved upon. At the same time,
Professor Perry gives the palm to the cruder earlier stories because they have a vigor, a directness, a largeness
of emotions which those of the present cannot compass. Our world it too
smooth, too ironed out, too bloodless.
he says. It lacks the pioneer spirit
wnicn opened up new literature as it did new lands, or rather, there is no chance for such exploring energy to
assert itself.
No one can gainsay Professor
Perry's authority to hold such opln
Ions, though such admission does not
imply approving them. As editor of
the Atlantic for nine years, he selected short stories with that fineness of
taste which is passed on to the Apos
tolic Succession of the Atlantic editor
ship. There is no question that his
experiences gave him this unpleasant
inflexible point of view. He found great skill, unparalleled, unbeatable, but no great matter. The charm lay
in the telling.
But because he came across none
there is no reason to say that no such new stories exist, or ever will exist. Despite all the clear-starching and glossy ironing of life, it is still raw and crude and lumpy, in places, and those so close at hand that no pioneer
ing is necessary. Any newspaper, any day, is full of ' red-blooded occur
rences; of the tales of money, mystery, adventure and love, which some
one has said are all that is necessary for literature. The fine, flabby tales are such because they do not recog
nize this new material and these new
conditions, but go on telling the same
old stories of the same old people in the same old environments. If far-away, new scenes are needed, our islands give them with new prob
lems and new people. Some writer" have already discovered this. A great writer will get a great story from
them, despite Professor Perry's dic
