physical Side of Literature.

Apropos of the sadly early death OF NJ
Gasten Larroumet. French contemporary raises
the question whether there IS anything in the
nature Of literary pursuits that makes against
longevity The answer is. Of course, that es-
sentiaIIy there is nothing, but that incidentally
there may be a great deal. That the actual
worry Of composition wears out the frame pre-
naturely Is more than the facts warrant anyone
in saying. In every age and in every country
literature has been well represented by hale
and hearty veterans. Legouve, Mommsen, Tor
SOY, TennysOn, Whittier, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, and George Meredith are the most OBJ
vious names on a list that every reader VIII be
able 70 supplement. So long as it is possible TO
compile such a list without stopping to
think, the most bitter enemies Of literature
can hardly class it with unhealthy trades. Poets,
dramatists and novelists seem ON the average to

fields and begins anew the work Of his
father, the pioneer.
In fact, while the State pride Of the
West Is vigorous, even aggressive, II
has different basis from that Of the
East. The Fastener loves his home
for its associations; the Westerner
loves his for what he has made Of it.
Hence the vivid individuality and
strong initiative characteristic of the
West. The Western man must have
room; and In Manitoba, at present, he
will not be crowded. Others come IN
to take his pace; the Middle West IS
rot deserted, and there is, from any
point of view, no reason to worry
over the development.

slippery Pavement Aceidents.

To the Editor OF Tn Washington Times
For a year past have occupied an Office at
Fifth and d Streets and Louisiana Avenue

It is matter Of common knowledge to all in
this neighborhood that from two 70 half
dozen horses fall a. this corner every day.
Sometimes these falls are severe, and the animal
is 50 injured tha. i cannot at once arise, even
when relieved Of harness. Instances OF cruelty
to the fallen animal. such as beating, are
rare, bu- are not unknown.
Now, the reason for all this is that the stones
with which these streets are pared at this
corner have remained as they were first laid.
years ago, and have worn to a smoothness
and slipperiness with which asphalt cannot
compare. They arc slippery in all weather.

Apartment Life.
DR.. Rainsford Condemns the Modern

DR.. Rainsford Condemns the Modern
Flat as Unhomelike.
DR. W. S. Rainsford. who has won
the reputation Of elear-headed and
independent clergyman, not afraid To
express his ideas on any subject need
ing discussion, has been giving his
opinions on apartment-houSe life, L,
is his opinion that tenements, even
under the best conditions, are unhome-
like. and unsuited to the rearing of
children.
Unhappily, there seems no reason
TO doubt that this is true 1t is sad
that II should be so. since modern city
life seems to gravitate inevitably to-
ward the tenement. However. the
tenement Is better than one room,
after all, and ii may be that the city
of the future will contain separate
hemes IN greater numbers than are
found in the city of the present
We IN Washington are at the begin
ming of the apartment-house fashion,
and il msy be a good thing 70 consider
The reasons for such statements as this
Of DIR. Rainsford Are they due to a
rooted prejudice in favor of country
life, or to ineradieable evils of tene-
nent life, or to something else2 Why
is IT that the tenement, or apartment,
while admitted to be convenient, is 50
generally regarded more as a neees-
sary evil than a genuine improve

One cause of such opinions may lie
IN the feeling that the apartment Is
less. separate than private house,

Kindly allow me a BIZ Of space in your

ing on these lines or near the routes can be

Stimulating Rapid Growth.

The discovery Of a new iood-substanee that
stimulates the rapid growth Of the organism is
announced in the daily press. This substance,
we are told. has been named lecithin. Its
qualities have just been demonstrated by Sc

lessor Of neurology at the University Of Chi

and by feeding them lecithin made them grow
90 per cent faster than they grow ordinarily
This was under conditions OF atmosphere and
general surroundings that were uniavorabie.
The scientific men say that lecithin will have
similar effect on human beings. Lecithin.
according TO the definition given by DR.. HataI,
''is an organic, phosphorus containing body
found in eggs. brain matter and the white cor

city block. The instinct of privacy Is
one of the most precious endowments
of the civilized being, and it is right
that it should be guarded. 1t all de-
pends upon the apartment house and
the people in it, whether privacy Is
violated or not If the majority OF
the people In the house are loud
voiced and vulgar, admitting the
neighbors to their private disputes, IT
Is impossible for a person of refine
ment TO feel that his own privacy Is
respected. for the excellent reason
that people of this kind usually make
point of finding out the business of
everybody with. whom they have any
thing to do. Moreover, children
brought up in such an atmosphere are
apt to be contaminated more or less,
N spite of the efforts of their parents.
On the other hand, in an apartment

neople behave as well-bred people dc

The Poets Friend.
The Times Joins Mr.. Ware in Worship
ing the Muse.

The Times Joins MI Ware in Worship
ing the Muse.
The Hon. Eugene F, Ware came
to Washington in the glare of the cal
cium. His appointment, as described
by the bright young correspondents
who thrive in Kansas, was hardly less
spectacular than his assumption OF
Office. His selection was destiny, his
success was inevitable.
We have found ourselves in danger,
recently, of forgetting this destiny Of
Mr.. Ware. We barely refrained from
smiling at the Virgins episode. when
a modest and retiring personality was
raked into the limeight alongside the
Commissioner of Pensions merely be-
cause he had taken no leave of alb
.senee for fifty years. In our own lack
of insight we thought for a moment
Mr.. Ware had ceased 10 be heroic and
become merely great. But we must
confess to a genuine smile-a smile of
restored confidence when we learned
that the Hon. Commissioner himself
had been absent from his desk six
months ont Of eighteen That, we
thought, was heroic indeed. ?
We followed the growth of Mr..
Wares scheme for promoting his sub
ordinates as the doomed bird of para
disc watches the sinuous swaying Of
the cobra. AS a newspaper, published
IN an age fatally practical in al
things, we were bound to investigate
the scheme, and we found no one
clerk, attorney, or sub-ehief. who
would cite single instance of war
ranted promotion under its operation.
But we knew how to regard the man
ifestations Of such measley jealousy ;
We knew where the poet mind had led
the Bureau of Pensions; and we did
not finch. We knew it would not do
to make promotions from the Office
record. That would be to give the
division chiefs too much power. The
only way to promote clerks, and W.
knew it as well as Mr Ware did, was
to have a meeting of these division
chiefs and let each man speak IN fear
Of his fellows. What value there is III
the poet after all
And now we have reached another
chapter in this strange, eventful story
We find the poet Commissioner or
one side of the jousting place and the
Board of Pension Appeals joined with
Congress on the other. It has been .
fierce battle. The risk Is great But
We shall not falter If Congress and
the Board Of Pension Appeals say a
soldier was honorably discharged, We
are sorry. But we will not believe the
man did not desert-nay, not if count

A Question of Ability.
The Controversy Over the Appointment
of General Wood.

Doub. less President Roosevelt
knew thai the advancement of Ger,
eral Wood to the rank of major gen.
eral would stir up trouble in the army.
ANY sort of promotion is reasonably
certain to do that Unfavorable com
ment is doubly sure TO follow the pro-
motion Of an officer who has not fol
lowed the regular line of advance
n,ent, after graduation at West Point.
But that does not prove that such adj
vaneemenf Is unwise.
The conditions of army life in this
country are slightly different from
those of the Old World. Most of the
work of cur army Is in the line of
what may be called guerrilla warfare
and in such military operations the
man who is imperatively needed is the
man who can rise to the occasion.
General Wood has proved that he Is
the man who can.
1t Is, Mnquestionably, wise TO follow
in ordinary eases the ordinary rules
of the service regarding promotion.
Msnifestly it would be unfair to allow
political pull or personal favoritism
10 bestow rewards upon men who
have done nothing to earn them. Ii
would be more than unfair, it would
be the rankest folly. to place in posi-
tions Of command men who were un-
equal To the duties which such honors
carry with them. But IN the case OF
General Wood this does not apply
He has proved his ability to fill re-
sponsible positions; his military ex-
rerienee has been wide, and he has
always risen TO the occasion, wherever
he has been put.
Those officers vino have not been
