THE LITERARY THIEF

He Is Still in Evidence and Himself to Any Tempting and Pass It Off as BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The plagarist Is always abroad in the land. This column has had something to say from time to time concerning the literary thief. How he boldly steals. Or helps himself to anything on the literary or near-literary counter. I Trims it, cuts it to fit his fancy, twists it about a little and then hands it out as his own. There is an enormous lot of dishonesty of this sort. In books and magazines and newspapers. Generally, however, the plagarist is canny. He does not come out in the open and pick a peach off the tree against the wall. Nor does he ride up in an automobile, snatch it through a window and bear it off in full sight. But with the scissors, the paste-pot and the typewriter hies him to some obscure and secluded comer and there prepares his faked-up wares for the market. He knows better than to work in the limelight. There are some famous plagiarisms in history. Some celebrated fakes. And It is said now that the plagiarist is working round the other way. That recently some of the. species have been writing stories and sending them in under the name of some popular writer or celebrity. Formerly he faked the latter's product under his own name. Of course, in the first event, he must take that of some contemporary. Some one still living. And it is only the nerviest that thus dare. Most of them content themselves with stealing the product and attaching their own name thereto. Such has a certain H. P. Chandler done. Unknown to the writer. But with his name signed to one of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poems so well known to the general public that the audacity of the plagiarist is amazing. Whatever you may or may not think of the literary merit of Mrs. Wilcox's output, none can deny Its popularity. It Is popular with every class. You hear ber quoted in the drawingroom and the hovel. She has an easy and felicitous manner of versiication and a genius for taking the common thought, sentiment that the person who would have the which goes' like this: "It is easy enough to be pleasant ' When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through tears." This is the verse that H. P. Chandler has handed out for his own. It is Mrs. Wilcox's poem with just one word omitted. This in the third line which she wrote "When everything goes dead wrong." Chandler leaves out the word "dead," thus cleverly wiggling out or ' having a loop-hole for him to get through in case the plagiarism Is discovered and he Is run to cover. Following legal procedure. Which will reverse some just decision through a careless clerical error1 the omission of a qualifying word or a minor punctuation mark. This is the thing, as has been said over and over again throughout the country in the public prints, that brings the courts info contempt. Everybody knows it is Juggling with words. That it isn't law or justice. That it Is without rhyme or reason. But It continues just the same. If H. P. Chandler were brought to bat he would probably point to the omission of this word as confirmatory evidence that the verses were his own. The meanest thief in the world is he who steals other's ideas. Especially after the ideas have been recorded in print. But youH find this everywhere. There Is a preponderance of human sponges. Those who sit round and absorb. You'll find them everywhere. In club3, at home, in offices, factories, shops, at parties, lectures, plays. Very few people are as informed about the play thief as they are of some of the other fifty-seven varieties. But he is kept tab on by the canny manager. These gentry will attend the opening performance of a play and, through the medium of short-hand, take down the play in its entirety. That is the reason you can hear and see plays under one name that' have been so familiar under another. There is a certain expert known to the profession who it Is hard to detect. He will attend a play and take the whole thing down on tablets- concealed in his sleeve. Thin and narrow, he writes page after page with a scarcely noticeable movement of the hand. He has been prosecuted time and time again but is successful over and over. He Is one of the cleverest of his kind. And his forgeries are not always easy to detect In the doing.

Does Not Hesitate to Help Literary Ware in Sight His Own Product.

It Is, In fact, dangerous to have ideas. To be original. To produce with individuality. Immediately the whole pack is at the latter's heels. He is run down by the bunch of mediocrities who hanker for the spotlight. Like vultures they fasten on him sucking his blood and crunching his bones. For the mediocrities will shine at any cost. Stealing or borrowing or by some hocus pocus. But shine they will and shine they do. And, ten to one, he from whom they have derived their literary sustenance, is thrown cn the ash-heap there to wither and die. The genuine creator is rarely an egotist. And he will therefore not contest for his rightful supremacy. He will step aside to give room to the pushing plagiarist. He will permit himself to be elbowed and hustled out of the path. Because in his heart, he feels that nothing he does is worthy. Knowing this he is filled with amazement over the spectacle of the complacent mediocrity, posing in the spotlight, and calling attention to the forImer's own wares which the latter has i snatched out of his hand and is dis playing as his own.

SUFFRAGE ATTACKS CALLED COWARDLY English Cabinet Officers Are

Warned tO Be Careful in arned to Be Carefu Handling Packages MAILING EXPLOSIVES London Amazons Creating a Reign of Terror in the English Capital. (National Newi Association) LONDON, Jan. 30. Suffragette vio-' lence of the most diabolical and cowardly character reached the point to-! rl n V u-hArA Promior Aemiffh nnri nthor ' members of the British cabinet have been solemnly warned to guard carefully against careless handling of packages mailed to them through the post office for fear they might contain Infernal machines. This danger was revealed by the explosion of a number of glass tubes as they were being taken from letter boxes by postmen. Investigation re vealed that the tubes had been filled with an explosive acid. They had been addressed to Premier Asquith, j Chancellor David Lloyd George and j other cabinet members. If the wo- i men's plan had worked successfully, the statesmen probably would have been blinded in opening the packages. Women also mailed a number of letters, which on being exposed to the light, burst into flames. These were evidently Intended as fire brands to burn the homes of the ministers. bucn- apparently were the surprises" which the women had promised in their campaign of violence, if the franchise bill were dropped by the government. Hearing of suffragette cases began at Bow Street Police Court as soon as court was opened. The first woman arraigned was charged with smashing a $750 plate glass window in the offices of the Allan steamship line. Boasts of Her Action. "Yes, I smashed it and I would, smash every window in London to get the vote," she cried,, when the magistrate asked her if she had anything to say. She was held for the Old Bailey sessions. The next woman was charged with breaking a window in the offices occupied by Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state for the colonies. Harcourt is one of the bitterest antl-suffragists in the cabinet. The woman became so agitated with mingled rage and excitement that she could not articulate. She was sentenced to two weeks imprisonment with the option of paying a $5 fine. Mrs. Despard, who, with Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, Is the most militant of the leaders, appeared at the offices of the Women's Political Union, some one having secretly paid her $10 fine last night.
