Genius

1t is now pretty generally admitted
that Stephen Crane is a genius Mr..
Ebert Hubbard, writing for the Lotos,
declares that he is such, and says that
if pushed for a definition he would say
that genius is only woman's intuition
carried one step farther; that the genius
knows because he knows, and il you
should ask the genius whence comes this
power, he would answer you Gf he
knew in the words of Cassius: my
mother gave it me-" Mr.. Hubbard as
serts that every genius has had splen-
did mother, and AYERS that he could
name a dozen great men who were ush
cred into this life under about the fol-
lowing conditions: A finely organized,
receptive, aspiring woman is thrown by
fate into an unkind environment. She
thirsts for knowledge, for music, for
beauty, for sympathy, for attainment.
She has heart-hunger that none about
her understand; perhaps even her hus-
band does not comprehend. She prays
to God, but the heavens are as brass. A
child is born to her. This child is heir
to all Of his mothers spiritual desires,
but he developes mans strength and
breaks the letters that held her fast,
The woman's prayer is answered. God
heard her after all. She goes to her
long rest soothed only by the thought
that she did her work as best she could.
But after a while, far away in the gay
courts Of great cities. the walls echo the
praises OF her son. and men say, BE
hold, Genius!"

A TYPE OF "INDEpENDENcE."

A TYPE or INDEPENDENCE"
The late LYMAN TRUMBULL was a type
of citizens who follow their own personal
ideas of right in politics only to discover
that those ideas are frequently as likely
to be rather more unreliable than are the
policies and practices that are made by
many minds acting together. Mr.. TRUM-
BULLS type OF citizenship represents the
positiveness of the twelfth man on the
jury who stands out against the other
eleven and insists that the eleven are
wrong and he only Is right. The practice
is called ''freedom from party dictation, I"
"standing by principles rather than
political organization, independence, !"
and that sort OF thing In the exercise of
this spirit OF contention OF the individual
against an organized majority Senator
TRuMBULL periodically came to differ
ences with himself as with political
parties. He could not long find settled
satisfaction in any political fold. All
parties became wrong to him in turn be-
cause he periodically went back on him
self. In his early political life he was
Democrat. Then he became Republi-
can. Then he went through several stages
OF Independence and joined the Democrat
ic party and finally drifted in among the
Populists, whose party demands an
agreement among Its members on no
other point than disagreement with all
other parties.
