remember; the flood of trash has been
long >since forgotten. We have scarce
ly had time to forget the poor books
of the present season, though some of
them have been bad enough to forget
at once. The consolation remains-we

The historical novel seems to be a

ing at the present time. The volume
of short stories struggles along, count
ing itself fortunate if 1000 copies are
purchased by the public. Now and
then one sells beyond 5000 and there is
great rejoicing.
But one kind OF novel is weak in
numbers this fall. The problem" nov
ell has not increased. Some few very
excellent psychological works of fiction
have been produced and along the line
of historical books the seasons output
has been notable. An unusually good
lot of religious, philosophical and ethi-
caly books were brought out early in
the year. Altogether, there is great
cause for an optomistic outlook on the
books of the year. We are improving,
the public by refusing to buy the big
boom books, and the publishers by
making better efforts to issue what
the public does want.
Nowadays, the evening paper goes to
press early in the morning and appears
on the streets about the time the bust
ness man reaches his Office. Some call
this feature of Journalism great enter
prise. The book publishers have to
follow similar method of procedure,
but, in their case, the method is not
born of enterprise so much as of need.
The publisher must prepare his Christ
mas books during sizzling hot July
and August days. If he has under

possible that he may be getting out

The Amecican Spirit.


THE appointment OF special envoys
to represent the United States at the
coronation of King Edward" says w.
]. Bryan in his current Commoner,
"indicates weakening of American
sentiment and lowering of American
ideals. Why should Americans hang
around throne and pay homage?
Our'envoys are apt to excite derision
by fawning awkwardly," ETC., etc
Mr.. Bryan constantly asserts his con-
tidence in the virtue and intelligence
of "the common people," and as con
stantly proves that he believes them
so weak and foolish as to deserve no
trust whatever. He proves this when
he accuses the American people Of
drifting toward royalty because they
send representatives upon mission Of
purely social courtesy.
The English people-our best GUS
toners, by the way-have invited us
to come 10 the coronation ceremonies.
Purely business reasons, to say moth
ing of considerations of international
decency would move US to accept the
invitation.
The coronation of European ruler
is great public festival, which occurs
but seldom. There has been but one
other such since 1S9l-the coronation
of the Gar. Did the presence of Mr..
Breckenridge, the democratic appoin-
tee of democratic president, and of
General McCook and Admiral Sell
fridge on that occasion indicate any
"decadence Of the American spirit'?
Did the American people, by sending
them, slower American ideals? Did
they indicate failure of their belief in
popular sovereignty or manifest any
"drift toward royalty?
Millions Of his people believe that
the Gar actually is the viceregent of
God. Did we then confess their be-
lief correct? Even Mr.. Bryan knows
we did not. Much less do we confess
any such belief in King Edward s case.
Even primary school boys know that
he rules by no divine right, but the
will of the British people, formally

by Governor Orman the extra session
of the thirteenth general assembly be-
gan business last Monday. How long
the session will continue, or what will
be the result Of the session no one can
say. In commenting on the session
the Denver Republican Of Tuesday
contained the following editorial:
We know now that it takes at least
two sessions of fusion legislature to
do the work which under the constitu-
tion one legislative session was design
ed to do. How many more will be re-
quired or what the results OF the Sec
ond session will be no man can at this
time say. The second session has been
called to correct the errors of the first;
but in the two years of allotted life for
legislature there seems hardly to be
time for still third meeting.
The regular session was productive
of an assortment Of freak bills and
measures hardly equalled before in the
history of law making in any state:
but it was not surprising in view of
the character Of the body and the way
majority Of its members were chosen.
1t was the fruit Of fusion, and we
think the people OF Colorado need no
further Illustration of what that
means or of what they may look for
wheh they experiment with it.
That for which the regular session is
most notorious is the attempted en-
actment of a revenue law at a time
when no new law on that subject was
needed as far as increasing the reve-
nues Of the state was concerned. Fail
ure and freakishness characterized
every step taken until at last the cap
stone blunder was committed in the
attempt to pass the bill in defiance of
the provisions Of the constitution con-
cerning the methods which in such
cases should be adopted. The at
tacks subsequently made upoL the al
legged law by the courts and by lawyers
demonstrated even to the mind of the
average fusionist that series of col
ossal blunders had been made, and
hence the call for the Extra session TO
straighten out and If possible give
semblance Of legality to what last win
ter was attempted.
No intelligent observer Of the course
OF ev ents since the fusionists came in
to power entertains for moment the
thought that the extra session will be
either short or productive of any good.
1t will sit as long as it dares, and at
the end will produce nothing which
any one will say is an improvement
upon what was done last winter.
In all this the people have an illus
tration Of what we so often have said,
that they get the kind of government
they order on election day. They are
having deplorable time with the leg.
islature. But the fruit they are gath
ering there is no worse than that which
they have been compelled to accept
from the executive department. Ev-
erybody knows now that the state
board of equalization could have as
sessed corporate property at as high a
valuation as that placed upon it by the
state board Of assessors. If only the
fusion state officials composing that
board had done their duty. Everyone
knows that there was no need of the
new revenue law at all, and conse-
Quently no need of the extra session
