Modern literature has had two critics of its intrinsic worth in the last jfew months who have a rather unique standpoint from which to Judge it. These critics are Alden the editor of iHarper'a Monthly and Bliss Perry of ,'tha Atlantic Monthly. Usually critics 'are persons who have come but little Into contact with the current output. For that reason the remarks of these gentlemen Is particularly interesting. (Alden holds that the literature while 'not remarkable, Is in truth of a solid ; foundation and refutes the saying that tht j is "nothing doing" in literature. jlle replies to the critics who decry the (tendency toward what Is called lack of virility and says that these remarks are those of people who scorn the use of adjectives and would have the pas sive voice kicked forthwith out of the (language. He in fact sees the main strength in' the growing descriptive ability of writers. -"Bliss Perry on the other hand, while accepting many of the tenets of belief of Alden in the general hopefulness of the literary situation says that the great trouble with this age is not deathly dullness, but a thing which is in a way far more dangerous, a deadly facility. He of course points to the 'abundance of pot-boilers which have sold to the thousands of thousands. More than that he says that mere popularity is becoming the basis for ;ina general emmauon oi a booh. A ll A M 1 1 Mark Twain, is as usual, given the ' credit for being the one real moving force In American literature. Bliss Perry seems to look at the whole per iod of modern literary production as (really particularly sterile. He points 'out that even in the short story, which is supposed to be the real stronghold of this aee that little real work of lasting merit has probably been done although he gives credit to a few peo pie, among them Rudyard Kipling, for !a little, scattering, solidly good work. J Now so far neither of these gentlemen has said any thing which has not been said often enough. But when Mr. Perry speaks of the tendency of Jmodern drama that is refreshing indeed. No one can have failed to realize the vogue of the musical show and this vogue is too strong to even be disgusted with the, usually dull lines and varyingly pretty girls which accompany this product of the modern theater. Mr. Perry looks for a new type of drama. Is it not natural to think that when the theatrical manftgers are In a particularly receptive mood for new ideas in this line that there will be a change in the present jtype. The grand opera got its great rebirth after the long slumber in the time honored ways which were characteristic of the pre-Wagnerian opera. Why is it not to be supposed that the , comic opera will get a new impetus. A well known producer of musical plays in speaking of the outlook some months ago said that the time was undoubtedly coming when the music would no longer be dragged into the production and the musical show .would cease to be entirely a vaudeville performance. These he said would have their place but the other was the coming thing. It is more than possible that such will be the case. This situation coupled with the undoubted condition that more and more literary men are entering into dramatic work on account of the great rewards of the stage, point to the fact that we shall probably have a better drama than anything else in the immediate future. In fact this may almost be said to have commenced al ready for there is not much doubt that the modern successful plays have been far and away better than the successful novels. At any rate let us not be down hearted despite Messrs. Perry and Alden. Indiana has just commenced. RICHMOND'S EXILES. Few people in this town realize the great number of men and women who have gone out from here and made good in high positions and distinguish 'ed walks of life. By this is not meant jthe ordinary exodus of young men who
have become successful, for that goes on all over the country, but the people who have done unusual things. The coming dinner of the Indiana Association of Chicago, calls attention to the tendency of this state in this particular. The time is coming when Indianians will boast more loudly than they do now of their native state or rather the time is at hand when no boasting is necessary. Not long ago a former Richmond man, who has played no small part in diplomatic and other circles of international and cosmopolitan life, was asked by a woman who had come from the east, if he found the place of his nativity a drawback. With no little amazement this gentleman remarked that he had never found it so, and showed surprise that the question should be asked. Another man who has lived in many states in this country, ventured to remark that there had been more people who had led a remarkable career, who had started from Richmond, Indiana, than any other place in the country. It is not too much to say, he said, that when any matter of great interest arises, that a Richmond man is in some way connected with it. It is not a hard matter to see why this should be so. Richmond was settled many years ago by people who had many advantages which the citizens of other western towns had not. The quiet life of the inland town proved Irksome to the descendants of these people, and away they went "strange sountrles for to see." The westerner ba3 a heritage of independence and virility coupled with boundless inborn tonfidence which makes him take fences with astonishing ease. It will not be surprising to people who know this, that in these days of Indiana literature, there are more people on the editorial staffs of great magazines from Richmond than from any other town in the state, while the state itself is well represented. In the realm of finance this town, too, has held its own. The same qualities which have pushed men to the front in other lines, have had telling effect in the industrial development in this country. And so it goes. The danger is not that we shall boast too much of these people, but that we shall become so used to them that we shall take them for granted. If any of our coming
generation think that they must have romance, they do not need to read the Prisoner of Zenda, but they can do a little research work in hunting up the experiences of Richmond's exiles. They read far better and it will serve as a stimulus to any one who is starting out In this life "to carve out their for tune" as the high school orator says At the Thanksgiving time, when the thoughts are of homo, It is a good thing also to think of Richmond's ex iles. Here's to them! Answers to the iquiry column of the Baltimore News is handled by a person who is ready for any emergen cy. A recent question was propounded, "What shall I do to stop growing?" The answer was "Die, but we don't ad vise it." No doubt this is the answer which Mr. Bryan would get if he ask ed that bureau of information how to stop running for the presidency. Now that Taft has said he "would have trouble in finding as capable a man as Mr. Root for the head of the state department," other people are trying to save him the trouble. There are some people who would take more stock in real tariff revision if there were not so many people trying to do it A great many people who were un able to attend the Thanksgiving ser vices in the churches in the morning, were able to go to the theatre in the afternoon. On account of the growing scarcity of wood the National Conservation Commission has undertaken to investi gate the possibilities of sawdust. .In quiries bearing upon the subject have been sent to five hundred manufactu rers of explosives, pulp, wod and like products. Closely related to this par tlcular Investigation are other inquiries dealing with the utilization of waste lumber from sawmills and waste materials from mills devoted to coop erage, furniture, box, veneer and oth er industries. is the trademark which is on every genuine bottle of Scott's Emulsion sold in nearly all the countries of the world.

This
Most Generous
Are Found
of Poor Says, Rockefeller
New York, Nov. "28. Aside from pointing out the importance of getting! at the causes of social, moral and financial ills before attempting to deal with the effect, John D. Rockefeller in his December article in the World's . Work, comes out flatly in favor of the J vivisection of animals. He defends the plan of experimenting on animals, particularly in the Rockefeller Insti tute, on the ground of the broader good that can be done for humanity. Among the most striking of Mr. Rockefeller's observations In his arti cle are these: "The novelty of being able to pur chase anything one wants soon passes because what people most seek cannot be bought with money. These rich men we read about in the newspapers cannot gratify the pleasures of the palate beyond very moderate bounds, since they cannot purchase a good digestion, and they cannot lavish very much money on fine raiment for themselves or their families without suffering from public ridicule. "The best philanthropy the help that does the most good and the least harm is not what usually is called charity. It is the investment of effort or time or money carefully con sidered with relation of the power of employing people at a remunerative wage, to expand and develop resour ces at hand, and to give opportunity for progress and healthful labor where it did not exist before. "Probably the most generous people in the world are the very poor, who assume each others burdens in the crisis which come so often to the hard pressed. The mother in the tenement falls ill and the neighbor in the next room assumes her burden. The father loses his work and neighbors sup LADS HAD GUNS; LEADER OF RANG Boys Given Lecture, for Their Actions. Supt Bailey has been making an in vestigation of the modus operandi of two boys Ora and Indro Davis aged eleven and sixteen respectively. The youngsters recently secured revolvers and have been the leaders of a gang that has been making things unpleasant at the city light plants. The boys have been throwing stones onto the roof and through the windows and into the coal shutes. Both of the Davis lads had revolvers and this seems to have secured their leadership for them. They have been going armed and other lads of the gang have feared to refuse when directed upon some petty depredation, so they claim. Bailey learned that one of the re volvers had been secured from a boy named Bass, but the weapon found in the possession of Indro was his own. This the superintendent confiscated. The boys were lectured severely by the superintendent but will not be prosecuted unless some more serious attempt at destruction of property ic made. It is probable the cases will be reported to the juvenile court. A gang to which the Davis lads art: said to belong, has been causing considerable trouble about the plant of Robinson & Company and the C. C. & L. railroad yards. The principal of the fireless cooker, in which the cooking, has once been started over a flame is continued in an insulated cabinet or box, through the action of the heat already absorb ed, is more or less familiar to all, but in the more improved forms cloth and felt insulation are displaced by vulcanized wood, asbestos and other materials of a durable, sanitary nature and the utensil adapted to baking and roasting. In the later case the heater is stored in steatite radiators or slabs, which quickly absorb the heat. The radiators are heated over flame or by electricity. That it is possible to use electricity in connection with the fireles cooker with proportionately greater economy in the use of fuel than in the use of gas, oil or coal, has, it is stated, been practically demonstrated.
CONFLICT OVER THE PACIFIC NOT NOW LIKELY SINCE JAPU. S- COMFLICT IS DRA WN
Washington, Nov. 2S. Despite official reticence, information from reliable sources has been obtained of an agreement of far-reaching importance between the United States and Japan covering the policy of the two countries in the Pacific. The agreement has been drawn up in the form of a declaration and consists of five articles, of which the following is an accurate and faithful description: The first article gives expression to the wish of the two governments to encourage the free and peaceful development of their commerce in the Pacific. The second is a mutual disclaimer of aggressive design and contains also a definition of the policy of each government, both as directed to the maintenance of the existing status quo in the Pacific and the defense of the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry in China. The third article contains a statement of the consequent "firm" reciprocal resolution of each government to respect the territorial possessions in the Pacific of the other. In the fourth article the United States and Japan express their determination "in the common interest of
People
in Ranks ply food for his children from their own scanty store. "If I were to give advice to a young man starting out in life I would say to him: 'If you aim for a large, broadgauged success do not begin your business career, whether you sell your labor or are an independent producer, with the idea of getting from the world by hook or crook all you can." "The one thing which a business philosopher would be most careful to avoid in his investments of time and effort and money is the unnecessary duplication of existing industries. He would regard all money spent in increasing needless competition as wasted, or worse. The man who puts up a second factory when the factory in existence will supply the public demand adequately and cheaply is wasting the national wealth. "The only thing which is of lasting benefit to a man i3 that which he does for himself. Money which comes to him without effort on his part is seldom of benefit and often a curse. That is the principal objection to speculation. "We must always remember that there is not enough money for the work of human uplift and there never can be." As to great fortunes, he says that while men have the legal title to great properties and can control them, the fortunes are not altogether theirs, in that they must be gept working and invested and the working man thus gets benefit out of them. He deals in a cynical way with socialism, being distinctly in favor of individual ownership. In concluding his article, Mr. Rockefeller says that he and his committee are working on new lines for the public good. INCREASED WAGES MAY END STR E Perth Amboy, N. J., Trouble Expected to End. Perth Amboy, N. J., Nov. 28. Troops are still on guard at Keasby, where the strike of the TOO employes of the National Fire Proofing company led to rioting for several days past and caused the shooting of six strikers by deputy sheriffs before the militia had been ordered out by Gov. Fort. The company last night announced an increased rate of wages and will open a number of its clay working plants for such men as care to work. It is expected that the majority will return to their places. The rearrangement of the wage provides that none of the men will receive less than $1.40 per day. LETTER LIST.

M PARTY IN FIELD Call Issued for National Convention for Organization. SAYS DEMOCRACY IS DEAD. Chicago. Nov. 28. In addition to suffering recent defeat, the democratic party is now to endure the additional humiliation of having a new national party constructed upon its recumbent and battered' form by a number of radicals who argue that the democratic party is dead beyond resuscitation. The official call has been issued for a national convention to bo held in St. Louis Dec. 3, 4 and 5, at the St. Charles Hotel, where the birth of the tew party is to be accomplished. The jail is signed by Jay W. Forest, chairman National Provisional party, Albany, N. Y.; George W. Donnan of Schenectady, secretary of the new party; William Looser, Greenville, Pa.; Charles A. Harrinian, of Rockland, Me.; George E. Phelps of Findlay, O. H. H. Stallard of Shawnee, Okla., and A. J. Jones, of Parlier, Cal. GREENFIELD WITHOUHELEPHONES Service Crippled by an Accident. Greenfield has been without telephone service since Wednesday night. A cross beam at the exchange was burned and the phones will be out of service for about two weeks. The night operator proved quite a hero ine. With the chemical fire extin-' guisher, she battled against the flames until the chemical was exhausted, then called the fire department.

WATSON'S SUCCESS
Need Not Worry About Finances If His Voce Holds" Out. WINS PLACE ON PLATFORM. Rushviile. Ind., Nov. 28. Jam C Watson has been the recipient of hundreds of letters of congratulation from persons who heard him while on hi recent lecture tour. All letters declars the recent republican gubernatorial candidate need not fear for th necessary where withal in the future, so long as his voice holds out. From ths number of speeches made by "Jim" In the recent campaign it is reasonable to believe this will be for bome time. With defending whitecappers as an attorney and delivering lectures atchautauquas it is probable the wolf will not tarry long about the Watson door, even if Judge Barnard will hold the congressional seat next year and Watson will not be on the throne at Indianapolis.
