"Wet Eyes ana a Leaping Heart.

Mr.. Gladstone began it-this business
OF the personal attestation OF his in
real or alleged. We are inclined to
think that to the fact that Mr.. Glad
stone liked Robert Elsmere" and said
so we owe most of the sensational lit
erary advertising of the last few years.
But in this as in some other matters,
the great man did not foresee the I'LL
innate result of his action.
A clergyman wrote a book the other
day-we are not telling which clergy
man nor what book. for we do not be-
lieve in the sensational exploitation Of
authors-and another clergyman in his
own town sat down to read Il. It Is a
plump book and one wonders how a
manifestly volatile gentleman could
have remained quiescent long enough
to read 1t. but apparently he did So.
The effort produced a reaction. When
he arose. he expanded violently. Rush
ing to the nearest telegraph ofice-
what. by the way, was the matter with
telephone?-he seized a yellow blank
and expressed himself thus: "warmest
congratulations. have just finished
- -. with wet eyes and leaping
heart" His friend. instead OF ringing
for district messenger and profYering
by proxy the fresh handkerchief and
sedative draught which the crisis de-
manded, mailed the telegram to the
publishers. who Immediately corralled
unnumbered thousands of Western
Union blanks and had the message re
produced upon them as advertising
matter and distributed 1t broadcast
throughout the country. Gazing at the
familiar sulphur-colored paper OF the
telegraph blank. the conviction is forced
upon us that this is yellow advertising.
Certainly 1t has its reward. for the pub
fishers announced shortly after that the
volume was in its til thousand.
There is no doubt that the business
OF publishing has altered very materi-
ally in the last three years. nor that
IT Is being made more profitable both
to publisher and author by the shrewd
exploitation OF their wares. Further.
II cannot be denied that the opinions
OF an authors friends. especially those
OF them whose names are familiar 10
newspaper readers. may legitlmately be
used in pushing the sales OF his wares.
hut we do maintain. as final position
that the wet eyes and ieaping hearts OF
the clergy are only properly housed In
the sanctums or on the platforms per-
talning TO their possessors. They are
blossoms too tender for such wholesale
exposure to the public gaze. And the
world. the hard. cold. commercial. scott
ing world OF book-shops, libraries and
newspaper offices into which they are
sent, is not worthy Of them.
