THE arRns AEE IN TIE way


of Stronger, More Forceful Literature;
So some Authors Insist.
In the October Ladies' Home Journal
Edward w. Box editorially discusses
the plant of certain authors, that
young girls stand in our way of having
strong. forceful literature. They
argue that these offending young girls
constitute the majority of book buyers
and readers, and that they insist
upon having smooth, pretty .and con-
ventional reading Natter Mr.. Box
Ia evidently disposed to treat this pro-
test in a facetious spirit, pointing out
to the writer's how they can pursue
literature in accord with their own
desires and aims, without disturbing
the young girls, or publishers either.
sit is very strange" MIR. Box well
says, ''that certain of our authors
should SO constantly complain OF being
circumscribed in this matter of writing
about the great truths of life and the
problems of humankind. There is no
reason why they should feel SO. The
world is large, and all ways are open to
those who wish to travel them. Ii
authors want to 60 into the darkest and
yilest sewers of human life why should
they not2 Every man is his own mas

mission has thoroughly saturated
himself with the atmosphere of the
places he has sought, then let him write
Of them. He will not offend any one.
No one will disturb him-leaat OF ali,
the publishers, Certainly the young
girl will not. Refined and we'll bred
women will not annoy him. Decent
men will not obtrude Themselves upon
him; they hre busy with weightier
affairs. So, why should not the author
anxious to solve the problems of life
go ahead and solve them2 There is no
reason on earth why he should feel any
sort OF thraldom. His facts are to be
had for the experience; ink and paper
for few cents. Beyond that, he need
feel no anxiety. He need not worry
about tyranny; there will be none. He
need only satisfy himself; no one else.
Not human being will obstruct his
going. AND if, here and there, a stray
specimen of the dreaded young girl
happens across his path, he need give
himself no uneasiness of mind. She
will got out of his way. So, why this
complaining?

Drop Business as Far ms Feasible with
business Hours. t{SsGqS
There are times when IL seeme that
a man's house is the best, and at times
it is the only; place for business con-
sultation of importance, and no wife
will resent such occasions," writes
Edward W. Box, in an editorial protest
against :" talking shop at home" In
the October Ladies' Home journal.
"Those times are, however. rare, as
every man knows, and they should be
kept SO. Business, at its best, in
terests woman simply because it In
interests are hsrs. She has no inherent
love for it. She cannot have. 1t is
not her sphere. And, therefore. to im-
pose businessltalk upon her every even
ing, or nearlyaevery evening, is nothing
short of an imposition and ar injustice.
Men ought to be wise enough to see
this. And they ought to be sensible
enough to understand that, for their
own interests, it is host for them to
drop business matters, so far as pos
sible, with business hours. A mau's
mind needs diversion; it.requires exer-
else in entirely different channels from
those in which it has been running
during the day. For this reason the
provorb is so full of common sense that
every man should have personal hobby
as far removed from the nature Of his
business as posBibls. A sensible hobby
haa saved many business man from
early collapse. The mind needs rest,
and mans home is the one place in
all the world where such rest should
be given it, And American wives
should more rightly insist that this
mental rest be taken by their hns-
| bands. 1t is not an easy matter in
some cases for the woman Of the home
| to take such a stand and persist in it,
But she can do it IL she viii. A woman
can do almost anything with the man
| who loves her il she only goes about it
| in the right way. The trouble is that
4 sosmany women choose the wrong way.
| The practice Of talking shop should
cease in our American homes. Our
wives are right in the interest WHICH
| they take in their Observation-Disclosures
affairs. Their influence is frequently
seen and felt in the business world.
4 And it is an influence which every
right-minded man respects, knowing, as
he does. that woman always acts fol
the best interests of the man she loves.
In her interest and sympathy she il
right. Nothing works as much gooo
in mans capacity and enjoyment lp
business as his wife's faith, interest
and cooperation in that business. 81
long as che permits her interestlanc
sympathy to act only as a meaps Of cd
enlargement she is wise. T"

his Congressional career in 1890 by

FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
A Short Sketch Of The Democratic
Nominee.

Nominee.
Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
nominee for the Vice Presidency,
is one OF the best and most sue
cessful business men in the United
States and has amassed a fortune
by strict attention to business. He
was born in Bath, Maine, Novem-
Der 18th, 1885, of good old Puritan
stock. John Sewall. who founded
the family in New England, came
over from Coventry IN 1854. In
1760 the family came in to possess
sion of large tract of land in
Maine, where they settled and it
has been the home of the Sewall's
ever since. The family havo been
hip-builders for their generations
and others. Sew!ll built the first
steel steamer ever constructed. Two
years ago the Roanoke and the
Rappahanuoek, two Of the largest
frame ships ever launched, were
launched from his yards. To-day
Mr.. Sewall owns 60 vessels, which
sail upon every sea. He is pres
ident OF both the firms of Arthur
Sewell & Co. and the Bath Ship
Building Company. Thus MIR.
SewelPs interests have always been
in the direction of the trade.
The Maine man has been both a
banker and an officer and stock
holder of railroads. lie is pres
ident of the Bath National Bank
Until a year ago he was president
of the Maine Central Railroad, and
he has extensive holdings in various
other railroad companies. He also
has an interest in the Bath Iron
Works, Of which General Higs is
president, and this company has
built large number of iron ships
for the Government. Mr.. SewelPs
hereditary wealth has, by his splen-
did business ability, been increased
until he is roputed to bO worth
s.. 100000.
la politics Dir. Sowall IS best
known for eight years Of service on
