void of affection save word of endear-
ment at the beginning and close, being
made up Of opinions political, literary
and social.
For the benefit Of the large army of
obscure aspirants to literary fame we
suggest one theme yet unworked in this
field, i. e., the love letters of a fool. Sure
ly that theme would be a winner for the
young amateurs who have not yet OUT
lived their first passion.
Anent the ephemeral success of recent
books, Frederic Harrison is quoted as
saying: THE wider the reading public
becomes the lower is the average of lit
erary culture. No one pretends that
American literature rivals that of
France in its finer forms-or indeed that
of England"
If this be true, 1t Is grave reflection
on our American culture, deserving the
serious thought of every genuine lover
of classic literature.
We may put the blame where it be-
longs-on both publisher and author,
yet much may be said for both. Time
was when the names of certain houses
We're sufficient guarantee for the merit
of the work issued from their press, but
ii can scarcely be expected that with
the present fierce competition among
them the best of publishers is proof
against the temptation to bring out
books whose catchy or sensational char
acter promises instantaneous success
and large profits. The publisher may
say he is not the custodian of either the
public morals or the purity of the En-
glish tongue. But he is first of all re-
sponsible for the commercial success Of
his house, and when that is secured by
supplying legitimate public demand It
is his business to supply II. His argu-
ment is precisely that of the journalist,
and why not?
The same may be said of the author
even of the ola and tried writers. Why
should genius continue the slow produce
ton of classics for a public which
starves 1t in life and builds monuments
to'it in death. when by abandoning his
ideals in brief interval dash off a care
less work which means the comforts and
luxuries Of lifetime?
Norway has set a good example In
passing the bill endowing authors. Sub
sides are given to young authors OF
promise and yearly stipend has been
awarded to the writer whose aim has
been to preserve the pure Norwegian
idiom. Free passes are given on all gov
eminent railways and steamboats, to
newspaper correspondents, and travel
ing scholarships are created for the pur-
pose of enabling young journalists to
gain experience and study scenery and
types of character.
nv. M 1Ye on
wise: then we shall have less books but
more literature, and no complaint for
either author or publisher.
The sole way to insure us against ma
chine-made and bad books is to place a
premium on culture by insuring authors
against poverty and want. i
