GETTING AROUND TO GLORY

Jack London says in&a paper contrib
uted to The Critic: 1.-THE pity Of it Is
that the writer-folk are writing for bread
first and glory after; and that their stand
ard of living goes UP as fast as their ca,
pacity for winning bread increases-so
that they never get around to glory-the
ephemeral fourishes, and the great stor-
ries remain unwritten." Are we to con-
clude from Jack London's Judgment that
the great stories are forever to remain
unwritten? Or may we expect the great
stories to be written only by the men
and women who have fat, independent
incomes from stocks and bonds and rented
property, etc? These are rarely the peo-
pie who do great things in literature. II
the "writer-folk" do not give us the
great stories,'' who will? The prod Of
a. tenuous or vacant larder has been eff
fective in the past in stimulating great
story writing. Jack London knows that
great stories have been written and writ
ten by .'writer-folk' who get around to
glory" What's the use of trying to dis
courage the Industrious "writer-follx" and
make them think they will never "get
around to glory thru the storm and
stress of writing for bread. Surely Mr..
Jack London himself cannot be content
with so slender ambition for success that
he has given up every shred Of hope that
he will ultimately get around to glory"

rolls a person more effectually. He knows
that the bonlbastic way in which the local
items are written up is laughably absurd;
and he may enjoy many hearty guffaw

pertinent. II don't think I shall; trySNit

native heath for so long that an entirely
new generation has sprung up to rule af-
fairs there since he even visited the place,
but, thorogoing New Yorker as he now is,
he still subscribes for the country paper.
Yesterday, while waiting for Willis to
change his necktie, glanced over the
latest copy, and When I read something
that struck me as being remarkably fun
ny, I told Willis about it. He 1ared up
quick as a wink.
'.'You can't expect all those fellows
back there in the woods to be Horace

get out a mighty good paper
"Of course, that was not his opinion at
all, but like the thousands of other
adopted New Workers who still look fol

admit that there was anything the matter
with it, and I found it almost as safe tc
make fun of his wife and children as the

and the irrigation and forestry workers
are using the Mississippi and Missouri
floods to point the moral that the nation
should turn it's waste waters onto it's
waste lands and restore the forests that
prevent sudden floods. Much Of the
water that has recently wrought such de-
struction fell within an area that does not
require irrigation and where the altitude
of the country is too low to make it pos
sible to use the water on the plains of the
higher arid country. Yet II, suitable res
ervoirs and thousands of miles of irri-
eating bitches had been ready to take the
surplus waters that could be turned into
them, the volume of water that poured
down the Mississippi would have been
greatly lessened. There is not SO much
hope in forestry for the reason that owing
to the population of the once forested
country, it is not possible or desirable to
restore the forests.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

L = II
Senator Clapp is doing some quiet but
effective work in all parts of the state.
putting his fences in order for the sena-
torial election OF 1905. Just at present
his concern Is to see that plenty of ardent
Clapp men are candidates for the. house
next fall.
The junior senator is reported to be
feeling quite confident sof his reelection,
and at present his chances look rosy. A
great many things may happen in the
next eighteen months, however, and OPP
position is brewing now which may be
formidable next year.
The first danger to Clapp is the possible
candidacy Of Thomas Lowry. Several
things have happened recently which
make 1t look as tho Mr.. Lowry intended
to be an active candidates One Of his
business associates isund erstood ito have.
recently declared his hostility Ito the
Clapp candidacy in an emphatic and UNI
mistakable way. There is a strong Low
ry following in st. Panl which Is hostile
to Clapp, and 1t has started a senatorial
boom for M. D. Mum, who has just won
laurels by his able address for the state
in the merger suit The Mum can
didacy, should it develop, would be gen
orally understood as d diversion In Low

The Briber.

The Independent in this weeks issue,
dwells on the fact that where there is
bribery there is a bride giver as well as a
bride taker, and brings out the fact that
while the bride takers are now having a
hard time of it all over the country, the
bribe givers are rarely troubled.
The country is not yet educated up to
visiting condemnation equally upon the
tempter and his victim. The bride
giver is still good fellow. a strong and
respected man in the community, and his
bribery operations are often earnestly de-
Tended as necessary to- the welfare of his
business interests assailed by rapacious
legislators The bride taker is likely to
feel in his own heart that he is miser-

Mellen's Good Citizenship.

"HoW do you explain your sentiments
towards the president Of the United States
in view of your business relations?' was
the question recently asked of President
Mellen, Of the Northern Pacific, accord
ing to the Seattle Times. Reference was
had to the fact that altho Mr.. Mellen IS
president of a railway which is party to
a combination that President Roosevelt
has been trying to smash, he is warm
adrnirer and supporter Of the president.
MI. Mellen promptly answered:
President Roosevelt is advised by his at
torney general that the merger" Is unr
lawful and he is sworn to uphold and
execute the laws. I hope the time will
como when capital will be permitted to
combine for Its own protection when the
interests of the people would not be en-
dangered thereby. But in the meantime it
is very highly essential that the chief
executive of the nation should enforce
all the laws without fear or favor against
the rich and poor alike.
That is what he is honestly endeavoring
to do, and I would not admire him one
half so much, were he not doing as he is.
Mr.. Morgan declared In the conversation
had with him that If Roosevelt were
nominated the party could not raise a
campaign fund of $4,000 for him in all Of
Wall street. I replied that that was prob
ably true, but while I had never con-
tributed to a national campaign fund, I
would in that case be willing to put up
$4,000 to assist in the election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
This statement is an amazing one in two

is one Of the unfortunate consequences o,

States co-extensive areas. Mr.. Melle1
finds that the enforcement of the law By
the president pinches his interests, but hi

for doing his duty as he sees it.

statement is amazing IS the extraordinar.

oandor with which he says that he and
the great ]. Pierpont Morgan, ono Of the
merger powers, are unable to take the

Mellen says that Mr.. Morgan told him that

the merger lieutenant answered that If

Cooperation; Not Disruption.

Gunton's, noting the present tendency of
employers to meet the labor crisis by or
ganizing employers unions for self-de-
tense against the excuses Of labor unions
and to protect their own interests, says:
We shall then have specialists to COM
pete with specialists and the small petit
Jogging tactics on either side will become
impossible. Unions must learn that they
must live up to their contracts, and be
responsible for the conduct of their mem
bers, or they will have no standing in the
community; and employers will learn that
fair treatment and reasonable recognition
must be granted or they will have no
standing: when both sides are thus or
ganized for business purposes instead of
for warfare, cooperation instead of an
tagcnisn will be the natural outcome
because it will be the common interest of
both.
That Is the rational solvent, if aided by
such ancillary policy as voluntary arbi-
tration-such acceptance Of the principle
of arbitration as will make appeal to it as
natural as any legitimate and every day
business practice. Unfortunately so far,
the labor unions have generally contem-
lated the employers union movement as
conceived in guile and hatred and in dead
ly hostility to trades unionism. This is
evidently a mistake, for generally the EN-
ployers, while having the motive of self
protection in common with the trades
unions, are DESTROYS of utilizing the adj
vantages of their unions to bring about the
greatly needed CO, operation between the
two interests and demonstrate that those
interests are not antagonistic, but iden-
teal. Indeed, some of the organs of trades
unionism advise their members to show
that there Is no basis for the fear Of ena-
ployers that industrial disruption is
threatened by irresponsible trades union
| ism. This is excellent counsel and, if fol-
lowed, will help the rapprochement and
bring about, in time the genuine Coop
