PHYSICAL Side of Literature.


Apropos of the sadly early death of NJ.
CASTOR Larroumet, a French contemporary
raises the question whether there is any
thing in the nature of literary pursuits that
makes against longevity. the answer is. of
course that essentially there is nothing.
but that accidentally there may be great
deal That the actual worry of composition
wears out the frame prematurely is more
than the facts warrant any one in saying.
In every age and in every country literature
has been well represented by hale and
hearty veterans. Legouve. Mommsen, Toll
stoi. Tennyson. Whittier. Oliver Wendell
Holmes and George Meredith are the most
obvious names on list that every reader
will be able to supplement. So long as II il
possible to compile such list without ever
stoppfng to think the most bitter enemiei
of literature can hardly class 1t with un.
healthy trades. Poets. dramatists and nov.
elists seem on the average to live longei
than millionaires. and insurance Office
have no reason to refuse their premiums.

Ahead of Old World Cities.

London. Paris and Berlin lack this splen-
did organization of publicity, and that ex-
plains why it is that New York has already
gone ahead of Paris and Berlin in the mag
nitude of its transactions and is RAPIDLY
pushing alongside of London. Publicity paws
as every large advertiser knows There are
stock tckers in London. but they report
quotations. not sales. and they are not in
such universal use as in Wall street There
is no such general diffusion of news as In
New York. and everything proceeds in that
leisurely way characteristic of English con-
servatism. Berlin is even worse off in this
respect. but then speculation in Berlin is
under the blight of adverse agrarian legis-
lation. SERENO S. PRATT.

We live in the open In the United States.
We enjoy less privacy than the people OF
other countries. but possess the immense
advantages of publicity to a degree known
nowhere else in the world. And in Wall
street publicity is carried to greater lengths
than in any other part of the country. Yet
powerful financial interests there op-
posed to publicity. They hold that the es-
sential quality of successful business Is Sc
crecy. and that no great achievement can
be attained except along lines of conceal
ment.
These men conduct their corporations so
far as they are able on this principle.
Whether they gain anything thereby Is a
question. One of the most stupendous busi-
ness successes in the world is the Standard
Oil Company. which is conducted on the no
publicity plan and always has been. 1t has
never issued an annual report or financial
statement to the public.
Private and Public Publicity.
Publicity, however. is a guarantee of good
faith, of honesty. of fair dealing. 1t inspires
confidence and increases investment, and
the success OF the Standard Oil Company
is no proof that publicity is not the best
policy. But there are two kinds of public
ity. l believe it was James B. Dill who first

A Proper View Of the Matter.


Now that it is certain that Mitch
ell is to head the fight for capital re-
moval it becomes doubly important
to keep up the campaign. So far as
we can learn, Pierre did not attempt
any desperate measures to prevent
resubmission. It has kept all of its
strength for the vote by the people.
What it will be able to accomplish
remains to be seen. We believe that
the hard work for Mitchell has only
Just begun. III the two years before
the vote is taken we must convince
the people Of the state that we
either have or can get the things
that Pierre has been lacking.
Above all things we must have the
railroad to the Black Hills. Unless
that.is built or substantial begin
lining made we shall be accused Of
bluffng and be defeated at the polls.
We believe the road will be built
and in less than two years. In con-
versation with gentleman from
Chamberlain a few days ago we were
