hut--a habftation for men. We went in
and found the shrunken remains of four
men, sailors probably, who had died in
one night, to Judge from appearances.
One was leaning against the wall in a
sitting position. There was dry food on
the table, dry meat in box and every
thing was burning dry.
"A letter in the pocket of one man was
dated Liverpool. 1916, and on the table
was a bottle with a note in it, evidently
intended to be cast adrift. 1t said there
were four English seamen. marooned by
the captain, left to die. The note was
dated 1916, and suppose they had been
there dead in that hut for over thirty
years, and they must have died of heat
in one day and dried right up. We left
them where we found them.

WHISPERS"
James G.. Clark, the Statesman, Poet
and Calamity Howler.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. s.-(To the Ed
itor of the Times:) We wonder If the
man whose name appears above, and
who, by the yard, is now reeling off
learned criticisms of Uncle Sam and
his experienced and conscientious ad-
visers, is the same James G. Clark who.
during our recent terrible railway
strike, which for a while threatened
the very existence of the nation, es-
poused so strongly the cause of the
strikers, wrote so insanely in the now
defunct Farm and Labor Review about
powder and bail and blood and thunder
for the business man, who, as the result
of his industry, frugality and economy
had recklessly accumulated anything
for rainy day. and in the bitterness of
his invective did so out-Herod Herod
that only his senility saved him from
presentation to the grand jury? We
wonder if this is the man who during
his siXty-fiye or seventy years of quite
average opportunity for displaying
genius in the management of affairs,
and for laying aside a competency for
his old age, is the one of the same
name who, as regards every vital rela-
ton to the world Is utterly stranded
a mere straw drifting on the current of
events. and living on q narrow margin,
and yet who. with refreshing assur-
ance, now comes forward with specific
and valuminous suggestions to states

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
rendered the Champion of the Cause of
Free Coinage

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Charles
D. Lane. part owner of the Utica gold
mine. today announced that he will give
William J. Bryan financial support in his
advocacy of bimetallism.' The Califor-
MAN will see to it that Mr.. Bryan's trav-
cling expenses are paid and that the
living expenses of himself and family
are paid during the campaign of educa-
ton which he proposes to conduct dur
ing the next four years.
Mr.. Lane is very wealthy mine own
er and is amply able to take care of Mr..
Bryan and his family. He has abiding
faith in the Democratic candidate for
president, and realizing Mr. Bryan's in
come is limited thinks it is not fair for
him to bear the expenses of campaign
in the interest of silver.

! PROPER Literary FORM
BY JAMES q. CLARK

The art of vituperation. to be really
effective, should be treated as a fine
art, subject to a steady nerve and never
resorted to as an outlet for passion OF
excitement, or what my old and distln-
guisl'- ii friend Theodore Roosevelt
would term "hysteria." If the old he
brew sage who said, 20! that mine en-
envy would write a book, Were iiv,nS
in the present era of journalistic ana
political literature he would probably
change the form Of his petition to, 20;
that mine enemy would make polltlcal
speech, or cartoon, or compile a plati-
tudinous essay for the Shakespeare cluo
or woman's parliament, or write coarse
screed for some daily paper"-in short,
do ANYTHING. no matter what, to make

the case may be, should stand self-con-
victed of vulgarity or malignity, OF

On several different occasions I have
been unexpectedly honored by a per-
eonal attack in the Los Angeles Times.
I will frankly admit that at first these
attacks were somewhat annoying to me
less on my own account, however than
that of my many friends. But later on
1 have felt like thanking the Times and
its correspondents for these. special at
tentions, which have not only served TO
render more warm and steadfast my
real friends among all classes, but also
to eliminate from the large circle rev
superficial and vacillating people who
were sufficiently weak to be Influenced
by any utterance in the Times, either
In blame or praise.
So far as I know the, Times is the
only journal in the United States that
has, since the days of the fugitive slave
law nnd the civil war-when I was de-
nouncing with my pen and voice a far
less dangerous and Objectionable phase
Of oppression than the one I am fight
ing now-deliberately tried to injure
me socially because of my political and
reform work. In order to give the latest
Times assault a wider reading, repro
duce it entire in The Herald, whose
readers can be able to measure the
moral and mental quality of my en-
emieS.

GETTING INTO PRINT.

If people who write would bring their
soaring minds down to a plain recogni-
ton Of these hard and grovelling and
modifying facts. a good share of their
grievances would be turned away from
the guilty editors toward the Scheme of
Things in general. Some of them
seem to think that when they decide to
enter upon "a literary career" that is
a phenomenon, a fact of interest to
the world at large. Not at ALL unless
they have unusual ability-which IS
rarely the case. Il have heard that you
are kind to young writer's" they say.
II am a young writer. OF course you
will print this, and encourage me-" Bless
you, there are too many of you by far.
