e TOM INC I-FeIIIls " IsCVIsII.J
If the Democratic National Committeeman can
be induced to come to Milwaukee and examine
into our qualifications a convention city, the
local committee will have high. low, and jack /;
and if the good report that the committee viii
have to make is supplemented by earnest effort
on the part of business OF all political creeds,
they will take the game, and Milwaukee will be
the scene of the hottest political convention since
the famous Bryan stampede of 1896, and thousands

a society so widely different from our own,
and reach the common humanity. They will
discover the deep religious spirit which
pervades these books, the loftiness of
thought and purity of motive. They will,
in short, find in Balzac subtle something
not possessed by any Anglo Saxon writer
the freedom from narrowness, devotion to
an ideal, and delieacy of touch, which seem
almost impossible of attainment by the
slower -witted and more convention-ham-
pered Englishman, but are possessed by
man here and there among the Gallo or
Latin peoples. And as there is something
OF the Gaul in our own temperament, Bal
zee will come to be part of our thought,
as Thackeray, Dickens. and Scott have al
ready found place in it.
Perhaps no French literature can ever
be adequately translated into English. The
Saxon and Latinized words of our Ian
guage are clumsy and common when it
comes to expressing the quick turns OF
fancy, the shades Of meaning, and the
forceful yet keen Gallo wit. But there is
no question that the art of translation
might be brought to greater perfection,
were there demand for translation. There
is no writer whose work would more rich

demand for his books, better and better
English versions will be written.
