LAUDATION PAST AND PRESENT
A GLANCE AT THE LEOPARD
SPOTS-A ROLAND FOR AN OIL
YER.
1t is a literary fact that for at least two
hundred years almost universal puffery
has prevailed in Europe and Great Bri-
tain. IN the days OF Dryden and before
the authors paid severe and. ceaseless court
to the supposed patrons OF letters, becom-
ing their parasites and fiatterers, and all
for filthy lucre." Men Of letters We're
content to pay homage to men OF money,
dangling at the heels Of the wealthy and
powerful" as Lord Macaulay sand in
1880. 1t was il p.tiable, a shameful, a de
grading position to occupy. Pope made
money with his pen, and could afford to
break the shackles that bound others OF
the literati. The periodical press was as
venal, as plant, as agreeable Us the pros
trate writer's in offering It's incense to the
rich. The newspapers We're super-serVlce-
able, and teemed with absurd laudation OF
writers and their books, which, rs Macau-
caulay recalls, were filled with puffs f the
various kinds, which Sheridan enunmelat-
ed direct, obIique, and collusive,' a very
happy characterization. Macaulay says

that it fell in a shower as thick and as
sweet as s~ugarplums at a Roman car
nival.' This business Of fulsome praise.
eXhausting adjectIves, and universal pull
ferry still f~ourishes-in 1903-with undi-
minished ~fullness of fervor and strong
panegyric. OF course it Is ridiculous, al
Turing. deceptive and false. Scores of
books in the last five years have met with
vast success in sales by reason OF the
deluge OF pertinacious, e~Xhaustless, eXube-
rant puffery.
This comes to me as | seat myself to
write something of a North Carolina book
The Leopard's Spots I do not seek
to flatter or to exaggerate the qualities
of the book, but to write "WOrds of sober
ness and truth" It may appear absurd
or belated to give an opinion OF a novel
more than sixteen months old and that
has been read by more than a million and
a half of Americans, some even in the
North, and while another novel is being
circulated rapidly from the same active and
vir.le writer. But may not a North Caro-
linian write at any time of a book by q
personal friend, and by one who like him
self is native here and to the manner
born?"
THE Leopard's Spots" is not a great
novel. And come to consider the matter
there are in all the world but few novels
that can be ~truthfully designated as
''great.' although some thousand have
been so described. A great novel in
a proper sense does not appear often in
this prolific age of f1ctive production. But
publishers are SO anxious to make great

have been made;

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
AIrnont.

Tt is remarkable to note the i'm
movements that Mr.. Davis has
made in so short II period at tins
old landmark of Gunnison county
formerly known as Fishers Ranch
situated at the junction of Taylor
and Slate rivers which united form
the Gunnison river the waters of
which ON account of their wonder
full purity are better adapted to
the growth of trout than any other
streams in the world, Proprietor
Davis recognizing this fact as also
that of its beautiful site for Fish
ermans Paradise and Sportsmans
Home has gone TO work beautify-
ing the place in such manner
that one has ouly to look at 1T to
realize that he has fully accomp-
lished his object in making 1t the
most delightful spot for summer
outiup's that we have yet seen In
, the Rocy Mountain RECON. The
fame of this beautious and retired
location has already gone ont
among the touring public as wit
nessedJby'the numerous throungs
gathered thare the past season and
we believe that this is only the be-
ginning and that mine Host Dav-
is" will need to keep himself con-
stantly employed during the win
ter months in enlarging his ac-
commodations for those who Will
be coming yearly with increasing
numbers. The business needs no
further advertizing than that freely
given by its patrons who will re-
turn as often as the seasons come
and 60 bringing relatives and
friends for rest and recreation be-
side the finest trouting streams III
the world.

The steel works in Pueblo have
laid of 1900 workmen, sixteen
switch crews in the steel works
alone. We will only have three
crews running here until the coal
strike is over. This coal strike is
evidently far reaching The coal
miners will be the greatest suffer
ers except their innocent children
and helpless wives. If ali walking
delegates and agitators were driven
out of Col, RADIO it would save a
great amodnt of unnecessary sui
fering by laboring men and their
families. The Cripple Greek strike
was uncalled for, SO the workmen
say. The agiators must do some
thing to hold their jobs, they must
fool the workers to make them
contribute to their support. Why
can't the workers see the condition
they are driven into and get to-
gether and stop it for all time

Union City Business College Opening.
The principal of the Union City
Business College informs us that
everything will soon bein readiness
for the fall opening of their school,
which occurs September /. He
further states that on next Tues
day, August Is, everything will
be in first-class order for the begin
ming of the work and the books of
the College opened for matricula-
ton of pupils. This will be the
first day on which pupils will De en-
rolled regularly; and, IN order to
encourage large number to enroll
on that day, and thus enable the
management of the school to con-
template their requirements at the
beginning and guide them in the
purchase of books and supplies a
week IN advance of the opening, 1T
has been decided to offer the pupils,
as an inducement, a beautiful piece
of pen-art production fresh from
the pen of their special penman-
Professor James D. Combs-as fol-
lows: All who enroll and pay their
tuition on the 25th day of August
will receive, upon graduation,
beautiful diploma, made entirely
with a pen by Prof. Combs, elabo-
rately hourished and designed, let
tered and engrossed, in gloss and
gold. This diploma will be not
only a passport to good position,
but also an ornament to adorn the
walls of your home during the re-
mainder of your life. 1t is a piece
Of work that any good penman
would charge you fifteen dollars for,
and no graduate will be entitled to
receive one tree unless his name is
Iegistered on this special list that
will be made on the first day of en-
rollment. Pupils who enroll later
will be furnished, upon graduation,
with the regular stock diploma,
such as other schools give. 1t
should be the ambition of every
young man and young woman in
this community to be among the
first to be enrolled in this splendid
home institution. and consequently
one Of the first to graduate and re-
,eiVe a good position.
