MoNCURE D. CONWAY, writing of inter-
national copyright, fails to see that the pro-
posed limit of three or six months within
which works written in one country must
appear in the other will prove in practice
hostile to the interests of young authors.
Famous authors could of course obtain
publisher in the foreign country, even be-
fore finishing work. ga young author
he says, "who has written one successful
book is apt to write another, and if there
were an international copyright, he would
always have the power of giving that next
volume to some rival of the house that had
not paid him for the first. No trade Gus
tom would then interfere with his freedom
of selection. The young author would thus
be virtually protected if the book paid the
foreign publisher; if not, he would be no
better off whatever the time-lmit''

For several weeks an expert calculator
has been at work in the census Office figur-
ing out the location OF the centre of popula-
ton of the United States. In 1900 the CEN
tire of population was not far west of Balti-
more. In 1910 it was near Harper's Ferry.
Each succeeding census has thrown it fur
ther westward at the rate of five to six miles
annually. In 1870 the centre was about fif-
ty miles east of Cincinnati. Between 1870
and 1880 the increase in the west has driven
it westward at about the usual pace, and
the increase in the Southern States has
drawn it in that direction about Eight miles,
These two causes acting together will, it is
thought, cause the present "centre' to be
about one or two miles south of the Ohio
river, Immediately back of Covington, Ken

A MEMBER of the Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Society was ill-advised enough TO under
take to correct the historic facts upon which
Mr.. Whittier founded his poem, The Kings
Missive. The article, which was very of.
fensive in tone, was replied to at some
length by Mr.. Whittier in the columns of
the Boston Advertiser, in manner-it is
needless to say-as courteous as il was con-
vincing. The member of the Massachusetts,
Historical Society ad ded to his unfortunate
exhibition Of conceit and error by an an
swer to Mr. Whittier's letter; and it was ad-
mitted to the Advertisers columns, accord
ing to journalistic custom, which gives a
hearing to both parties. This second arti-
cle-it is but fair to the member of the
Massachusetts, Historical Society to say
was entirely civil in tone, and gives an i'm
preston of scared obstinacy. The affair
which can annoy but very slightly the poet
will, it is to be hoped, teach the member of
the Massachusetts Historical Society that it
is an exceedingly foolish and improper
thing to differ from Mr.. Whittier concerning
the annals of Liberty, religious or political,
with whose history he is identified as one of
its chief apostles.
