FREAK ADVER TISING.

UPERVISOR REEDS new ordinance intended
to abate the nuisance of freak advertising on
- the public streets appears to be well devised to
meet and the objections made to the former
ordinance on the subject The issue is one that has
engaged the attention of municipal authorities not
only in all parts of the United States but in Europe
as we'll. That form of advertising has, in fact be-
come one of the serious nuisances of civilization and
vised for putting end to it.
While restrictive ordinances have been adopted in
many cities it is notable that at present in the East
ern States the trend of public sentiment on the sub
iect is in the direction OF regulating the nuisance by
means of taxation. That system adopted some
years ago in France and result the French Gov
ernment enjoys the satisfaction of deriving hand
some revenue from billboard Advertising as well as
the satisfaction of percevng that the worst features
of the nuisance have been abated
In discussing this phase of the subject the Boston
Herald recently said: Advertising genius has had
its ruthless, npudent way too long, making its work
nuisance to the life of communities There are laws
now forbdding kinds of signs, but they are not
well enforced chiefly because it is not made any ones
business to enforce them But all posters were sub
Ject to taxation an immense number would promptly
cease to afct, and all that would hereafter appear
would conform to such rules and regulations as the
law might impose. The regulations might apply to
The San Francisco call., 1901-10-23

place as well as to size and character. Taxation
need not, as some fear would authorize offensive
signs Certainly they would have no freedom
and encouragement than they now have, and it would
be practicable to abolish them altogether"
That statement may be taken as fair expression
of the conclusion OF the Eastern press upon the sub
Ject 1t has been stated in almost the language
again and again by the leading papers in New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago. In fact, the French plan
OF imposing tax upon such advertising has been
tried and found to be effective while no other form
of regulation has been effective AS the Herald has
said, there are laws now forbiddng some kind of
signs but they are not we'll enforced chiefly because
it is not made any ones business to enforce them"
We have an illustration of that neglect in own
city in the fact that the Supervisors have found it
necessary to refer to the Police Committee resolu
ton directing the attention of the police to the ordi
nance prohibiting the maintenance of infammable
fences more than ten feet in height That ordinance,
it appears has not been enforced and the Chief of
Police has been called upon now to enforce it.
The problem is a troublesome one, and the nuisance
increases rather than dminishes In some way
remedy must be provided and up to this time plan
for abatlng the nuisance has proven successful
or has been more generally commended than that Of
subiecting it to the regulations of tax laws.

GOSSIP FROM
LONDON WORLD
OF LETTERS

With the autumn publishing announce
ments out 1t is easy to anticipate a busy
season. The difficult thing is to say
whether it will be a prosperous one or
not. Booksellers, from what can gather,
seem rather more sanguine than they
were a year ago. They point to the TACT
that the theaters have begun we'll. This IS
a good sign, they say, and they
add that the book trade has improved con-
siderably since the beginning of Septem-
ber.
The publishers programme, if it prom
ises nothing of surprising Importance, is
of average interest as a whole, and 1t
sometimes happens, as IN the case of AN
Englishwoman's Love Letters" the sue
cess of the season turks in book which
has passed unnoticed in the announce
ments. That is the way of the book trade.
Biography and autobiography again
take the lions share in the leading an
nouncements.
The list is especially strong in literary
Biographies, including Andrew Lang's
alfred Tennyson,' which Messrs. Black
wood have nearly ready in their Modern
English Writers series.
Graham Balfour's Life of Robert Louis
Steve1 on in two volumes. is to come
from Messrs. Methuen. "Jane Austen,
by Constance HILL a guinea book, with IL
Lane and an essay on Walt Whitman,
with selection from his writings by Ed
mund Holmes, is also promised by the
same house.
The Life of ToIstoi," by DR.. E. ]. Dill
Ion, is to be published by Messrs. Holder
& Stoughton. while Messrs. Sands will
send out Gabriel Rossetti," W. M. Ros-
autobiography.
Fiction reigns supreme as ever so far
as quantity is concerned.
One or two records have been estab-
lished in the matter of first editions.
Hall Gaines 100000 was the biggest send
off a novel ever had. I believe at least
rs 900 copies of these have already been
sold.
Some people are wondering if the
American system of selling books is being
introduced into this country.
a we'll known publisher who has earned
a reputation for push is advertising in
papers of the drapery trade. He is
anxious to quote special terms to drapers
who have or who would like to start book
departments
Up to the present publishers have very
generally ignored the draper-bookseller,
but there are many signs that he is to be
extensively catered for in future.
The ordinary booksellers seem about, to
raise a cry, for they know how the open
ing of the book departments in the large
stores of America has damaged the trade
of the old fashioned booksellers.
Still they come! have just heard that
the first number of a new literary and
political weekly, to be called Survey OF
the Week, will appear toward the end
of this month.
The paper. am told, is backed by sew
eral well known Liberal Imperialists.
while a late member of the Speakers staff
will be responsible for the editorial ar
| rangements.
! I referred the other day to the new
novel upon which Jerome K. Jerome is at
| present engaged.
| am now told it is to be the longest and
most important piece of work he has yet
! attempted, which is saying great deal.
