IF it is true, as Sidney G. Fisher of
Philadelphia claims, that no nation has
achieved great results of any but purely
industrial sort, except those that have
had a homogeneous population. then we
have a new reason for Limitation of i'm
migration. He shows that once we had a
homogeneous population, and in that pc
Rod the best artistic and literary work
was done that we have given to the
world, and it was in that period that the
highest political and social ideas had
their maturity. History supports Mr..
Fishers statements, and it is so recent
and so familiar that the commo9est stu
the line when our best brain activity
ceased or declined. That line begins
with the great influx of foreign popula-
ton. The sentimental phase of the i'm
migration question has not been given
much attention, but it is one Of great i'm
portance. We need to develop not only
industries, but men, ideas, artistic and
literary giants, and to bring the entire
people up to constantly better levels OF
taste and patriotic sentiment. If, as
would seem to be true, the dilution OF the
thoroughbred American population pre-
vents these accomplishments, then it is
time to call halt, and to put check
upon the thinning process that is affect
ing national character.

A NOVELIST Of NOVELS.

F. Marion Crawford is distinguished
writer of the imaginative order. His de-
lightful romances and mystical novels
have been frequently reviewed in these
columns. We are very glad that Mr..
Crawford has had the courage to speak Of
some OF his craft. as has long been needed.
That readers Of fiction have been cheated
over and over again out of anticipated
pleasure by the novelist who attempts
without notifying the reader-to make
fiction the vehicle for his own peculiar
views of society, politics or religion, is
undeniable.
There are few prominent and shining
exceptions where the buyer could not be
deceived, and where the romancist has
distinctly given warning that his book is
published for the express purpose of
arguing, in dramatic form, propositions
of philosophy, politics or religion. But
Mr.. Crawford is unquestionably correct
when he says that the novel is primarily,
or should be, "a pocket stage; stage
with-scenery, light and shade and actors

THE San Francisco Bulletin snarls at
the Supreme Court of the State because it
refuses to break down the spirit and
plain letter of the law forbidding the
opening of sealed ballot packages in a
proceeding against an election officer for
fraud. one day this grumbling metro
politan journal scores the court for MAIN
tanning the law and the next abuses it
roundly because it does not interpret it
as the Bulletin reads it. According to
this self constituted judicial critic the
court is right only when it agrees with
the Bulletin. While it disclaims contend
ing that such tribunals should be swayed
by popular clamor, it breaches a gospel
that would make editorial writer's the
censors over judicial bodies. This same
short-sighted journal is so color blind
that it fails to see that the very doctrine
it advances would tend to obliterate every
particle of respect for appellate courts.
Tribunals for the administration of JUS
tice that should attempt to decide as the
San Francisco press would have them,
would find themselves between fires con-
stantly and forever without the bounds
of the law. Fortunately the people have
regard for the laws which the metropoli-
tan press is unable to break down. Were
it not so. anarchy would prevail. That
there were fraudulent acts by election
officers in San Francisco in November
no one disbelleves; that the rogues escape
punishment is certain; but that the Su-
preme Court is not responsible for the
statute that secures the inviolability Of
the ballot packages is equally true.

from real life; stage presenting the ro-
mantle, the passionate or the humorous
sides Of real life. The novel should, as
does the stage, aim at Illusions; it is to
entertain, instruct if you will, preach
lessons from example, and by its dra-
matte character satisfy the desire for rest
tuI or helpful entertainment; or by its
dramatic character lay bare evils and
suggest correctives. But that need not
carry with it the infiction of the views of
the novelist upon the reader concer ming
topics that belong to treatise and essay
treatment.
Mr.. Crawford insists that when one
buys what purports to be work of fc-
ton, romance, novel, story of ad-
venture, and takes his book home and
prepares to enjoy it at his ease and dis
covers that it is the vehicle for the per-
sonal views of some one on socialism, re-
ligion or divorce. he is in a sense
swindled. He puts it in this way:
Inc buyer is possibly a conservative per
son, OF Iukewarm religious convictions
whose life Is made barren by marriage, OF
death, or division, and who takes no sort OF
interest In the laws relating TO divorce, in the
invention OF new religion, or the position oil
the labor question. He has simply paid
money, on the ordinary tacit contract between
Iurnisher and purchaser, and he has been
s"lhqled. In ordinary cases the purpose

4 DEMOCRATIC HERETO.

The Chairman of the House Committee
on Coinage. Hon. Henry Bacon of New
York, a leading Democrat, is out in an
argument that is massive and convincing
against the repeal Of the prohibitory tax
upon note issues of State banks. He
thus flies squarely in the face of the Ma
tiOnal Democratic platform and as much
as confesses that it was insincere when it
made bid for votes in the Southwest by
demand for repeal of the tax law and
the restoration of State bank issues.
Just how The party will receive this de-
parture by Mr.. Bacon remains to be seen;
it is hardly probable that he will be read
ont for heresy, for Mr.. Bacon has upon
his side facts that cannot be gainsayed.
The one chief argument made in favor of
the repeal of the lax law has been that
State bank currency is elastic and meets
local needs as no other medium Of ex-
change can. But Mr.. Bacon proves con-
clusively by financial axioms and past
experience that if State currency can be
made as sound as its advocates claim it
viii flow to financial centers exactly as
does the present currency; if. on the
other hand, it is discredited so that it will
not rush to financial centers then it will
remain in the neighborhood of the banks
that issue it. So that the hoped for elias
ticity can only result from the notes be-
ing quoted below par.
But more than this, Mr.. Bacon points
out that the State bank laws will not be
uniform. They will be as diverse as
local judgment and local selfshness die
tate. It viii follow that the door will
open for the widest of wildcat banking
and bobtailed issue. One writer who IA
vors the repeal of the tax declares that
deprecated bank-note circulation will
not be allowed.
There is not a State in the Union which
would authorize or allow il. 1t was the want
o. suitable means of communicating with
every part of the country, with the Obejct of
demanding Immediate redemption of un-
worthy notes, which gave any facilities for
what was known as "wildcat bank notes."
There is an element of truth in this:
the now multiplied means of commune
cation would give the people an advan-
tage that those of the "tifties" did not
have. But Mr.. Bacon disposes of this
defense by calling attention to the fat
and wildcat attempted legislation that
members sought to put through the last
Congress. These measures, soberly pro-
posed, he declares were earnestly advo-
Gated solely upon the ground of non
convertability, and because these pro-
posed laws would leave the people of
each section free to make such banking
laws as they pleased, irrespective of the
wishes and business of other commune
ties.
The invincible points Mr.. Bacon makes
are based upon an immutable law of
finance; that is, the uniformity of circula-
ton and its safety are its vital attributes.
These would disappear under as many
distinct systems of laws as there are
States whose Constitutions permit them.

THE Tacoma Board Of Education is in
state Of agitation over the question,
Shall school ma'ams be permitted to
marry and retain their positions as teach
ers?" Why not? So long as the teacher
is competent and faithful, why put upon
her the obligation of celibacy? Oftener
than otherwise, married women are the
successful teachers-more so, indeed,
than the single. If the teachers position
is that of charity box, intended to serve
only those who most need aid, then the
single should enjoy a monopoly of the
business, since, as rule, they more need
the salary than do the married women.
But everyone would revolt at such a
prostitution Of the schools. The sole and
only aim of the school authorities should
be to secure the best teaching talent, and
the question of the financial ability of the
teacher should cut no figure in the case.
But, as a matter of fact, while all the
world exclaims that the schools are not
charity boxes, Boards of Education do
parcel out teachers positions as aids to
those who make their poverty support
their claims. However disagreeable it
may be, this is the unauthorized truth.
over and over again in our own city we
have heard advanced as a reason for the
rejection of undeniable competence, "She
did not need the place, and others did," If
the Tacoma board has the courage to do
right though the heavens fall, it will not
ask whether an applicant for a teachers
position is married or single.

here is not at aIl improbable. That the
American expression was at first opposed
to the scheme of French management,
and that it changed to quiescence on the
subject, is a matter of history. If this
was effected through the buying of news

was TO have been expected from the De

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offersd
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual tnstallments. Thus part OF the prin-
cipsl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual ipstallments, with in.
terest at the rate OF z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at 500 al ac-e,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
sPond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peclally adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agriculturalland at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
