Dead Books and Pictures.

Mr.. Albert Steiner. the artist and IL
illustrator, has addressed a very inter-
esting open letter to the New York
Commercial Advertiser, in which he
makes a passionate protest against "the
poor quality of work commonly known
as illustration now being dshed up in
enormous quantities to the public The
result of II. says Mr.. Steiner, will be to
undermine the good taste of the major
portion of the reading public. For
three-fourths Of the pictures that fill the
cheap books and periodicals. there is
ABSOLUTELY no excuse. They have no
right to existence. and only serve to
hide in their Overwhelming vulgarity
and meaninglessness the rarer good IL
lustrations."
No one who has noticed the drift OF
magazine illustration .can fail to agree
with Mr. Steiner, whose own occasional
illustrative work Is of the most delight
full kind. when the PaIl Mall Magazine
and other English periodicals first be-
gan to circulate In this country, one
frequently heard adverse comments
upon the stupidity and meaninglessness
of their illustration; which. even when
they aimed at being most artistic, sell
dom seemed to hit the point. Nowadays
we have so much bad work of our own
that the deficiencies of the English mag
azines pass unnoticed, and yet a dozen
years ago 1t was cordially conceded that
we led the world in illustrative work
What is true of illustration is equally
true Of literature. Our novels and our
short stories have been growing wooden,
art. the last strongholds of the human
spirit against a machine-made world.
have begun to succumb to the contagion
Of the commonplace.
Glow shall we know good art from
bad?" the public asks. you shall know
It," says Mr.. Steiner. "by taking time
10 think about it, by requiring that a
picture shall have an idea In II, shall be
beautiful or joyous or sad. or humorous.
or decorative. and give you a sensation
of some kind when you look at it. These
are the good pictures. The rest is
trash'
The same test applies to the stories
we read. Have they an idea in them?
Does the writer try as best he may to
give that idea a form BETTING his mean
ing? Has he thought about the work
he Is doing. and Is It vivified by his
thought of 1t so that you feel that in it
you have something vibrant and alive?
II so, his work is worth your considera-
ton in spite of any other faults 1t may
have; but If creative thought has not
gone into it, it is dead work; and.
though it sell Its hundreds of thousands,
the end Of that thing Is oblivion.
Dead books and pictures are as alb
normal food for the mind as carrion
would be for the body. The printed page
has no justification save as it lives and
brings us life. 1t need not always be
serious, but It must always be real.
AS far as departures are concerned
the Nome season may be said to be at
its height. IL the Seattle water front is
a busy place with 1--WE or six steamers
ready TO leave within twenty four
hours. what will the Nome water front
be when twenty times that number OF
steamers have deposited their passen-
gers on the shore Of Boring sea?

Boss Ridden New York.

Simon Sterne, in an address before the
City club at New York, said: "Boss rule
is more marked and more secure today
than it was 40 years ago" This state
ment is confirmed by VIM. Brookfeld,
for merly chairman of the Republican state
committee, but now an avowed enemy of
the Republican machine. Mr.. Brookfield
says New Workers are living under a tyr
amy worse than that of any Eastern
potentate. Further confirmation is given
by the Mazet committee, which, in its re-
port to the legislature, says that the pre-
sent administration of the city is the most
perfect instance of centralized party gov
ernment yet known; government no long
er responsible to the people, but to die
tator; the central power not the man who
sits in the Mayors chair, but the man
who stands behind it; the powers of gov
ernment prosttuted to protect criminals,
to demoralize the police to debauch the
public conscience and to turn government
al functions into channels for private
gain"
L tJ NHlic OlAuS pICotnllhB bnlo lnulCt-
ment of Tammany, the Republican mem
bers OF the Mazet committee omitted to
mention the name of Croker, and the
Democratic minority did not mention the
name Of Plat. Was there ever palmer
instance of boss power?
DIR. Parkhurst, who started the crusade
of 1894 in New York city, preached on
Sunday his first political sermon in two
| years, in which he said: perhaps there
is no city within the bounds of Christian
civilization that is as vile in its administra-
/ tion as our own. Christians are Chris
tians on Sunday, work like slaves six days
out of the week making money, and leave
the city to be ruled by race of thieves
and vagabonds, and the consequence is
that more children are being started in the
direct road to hell every week than all the
churches, missions and Sunday schools
combined are saving in year"

Mileage Law No Good.

The law which was passed by the legis-
lature of 1898 compelling railroad compa-
MES in the state to sell mileage books at two
cents per mile good to bearer has received
a blow in the solar plexus and been counted
out. At the request Of bondholders of the
st JChnsbuIy q Lake Champlain and
Rutland railroads, Judge Wheeler of the
United States circuit court granted in 1898
temporary injunctions which prevented
the railroad commissioners and states at
torneys from enforcing the law. The
court held in effect, that the state could not
compel a railroad to sell mileage books at
a rate per mile less than that at which
they were compelled to sell local tickets,
and that such course meant that a man
with $40 could buy mileage and travel at a
less rate than a man who only bought 50
worth of transportation. In other words
it was held that if the state attempted to
fix a maximum tariff for passengers per
mile it must also make the tariff uniform.
Gov. Smith, Messrs. Foster, Watson and
Miller of the state railroad commission, and
lIleuls-OON' Datco VI Ot' JohhSDuig anu -
L. Fish of Vergennes, who were appointed
by the governor to defend the cases brought
against the state railroad commissioners
and the states attorneys, met at Montpel-
ier Tuesday to consider the advisability
of proceeding further in the cases, which
are set for a hearing at session of the
court to be held in Burlington Feb. 27.
After discussing the different aspects,
including a decision handed down by the
United States supreme court in case in
Michigan, decision was reached unani-
mously that it would be useless to put the
state to further expense in attempting to
enforce the law, and the cases will there
fore be dropped.
The will of the people, as expressed by
the last legislature, has been thwarted.
The remedy would seem to be easy if the
law is defective because it discriminates in
favor of the man who has $50, the price OF
mileage book, over the man who has
only 81 and is compelled to buy ticket
Make all fares two cents mile and there
will be no discrimination. Some mute, in.
glorious jefferson has an opportunity tc
send his name laundering down the corri
dors of time by heading the movement in
this direction at the next session of the
legislature.
