Henry d. SedgWick, Jr, writing IN

clares that the conspicuous weakness
of French authors and French trfera-
ture lies in their abiding lack of conf
mon sense. Now just wait until the

French humiliation of Mr.. Sedgwick
by French critics. Mr.. Sedgwick ad
mits the splendor of French literature,
and says that nothing could be more
brilliant than Victor Hugo, for in
stance. in 1880, His verses flash like
the white plume of Navarro" SO,
too, the courage and brilliancy of many
another are conceded. They win by
brilliancy. valor and the refined arts
of language well chosen and thought
admirably expressed and original. But
still, says the essayist, French ltera-
ture does not dig down to the foun-
dations; certainly that of the Roman
tic period did not. Mark the differ
ence, ne exclaims, between Hugo and
Sir Walter Scott. The latter's poetry
and novels have a vigorous vitality
from his common sense, and are there
fore ingrained in the trunk of Eng
lish literature Hugo, impassioned,
majestic, imaginative, powerful, elo-
quent. demagogical, does not stand the
hard test of sQuaring with the expe-
rience of common men" Never mind

NOT DISCOURAGING

Los Angeles Times: Although the
rainfall in Southern California for this
season has thus far been considera bly,
below the average, the fall of snow in
the mountains has been heavy. and
there will be no scarcity of water dur
ing the coming summer, for irrigation
ana domestic purposes, even should
there be no more rain. But time
enough still remains, before the be-
ginning of the dry season, for copious
rains. The situation is therefore by
no means so discouraging as some pes
simistic persons are seeking to make
