Concerning one Author.

luther and Igraine, p" the Arthurian
romance published in October by the
Outlook Company, has gone into it's
third edition. The steadily increas-
ing demand for this novel has called
forth expressions of interest as to the
identity of Warwick Deeping, the
author. This name has been supposed
to be a pseudonym, but as a matter of
fact he comes of an old Fenland
family, an ancestor of his having been
Abbot of Thorney Abbey in the
fourteenth century. He was born at
Southend, on the Essex Coast, and
graduated from Trinity College,
Cambridge. In London he went as a
student to the Middlesex Hospital,
passing the necessary examinations,
and becoming Bachelor of Medicine
at Cambridge. In the spring of 1902
he went as assistant to country
medical practitioner in Berkshire, and
it was here that "Uther and Igraine"
was written. Mr.. Deeping works
with ease, making little corrections;
and he never works at night.

"Ranson's Folly"

Robert EdeSon, under the skilled
guidance OF Manager Henry B. Harris,
has secured in "Ranson's Folly" fine
successor to "SOldierS of Fortune, ;"
which for three seasons added materi-
ally to his repute and his bank account.
The latest Richard Harding Davis
play has now entered on it's second
month at the Hudson Theatre which,
since its Inauguration last October,
has experienced nothing but success.
Certainly nothing has been more
successful than Mr.. Edeson and
"Ranson's Folly" a comedy that is
uncommonly interesting, moves at a
rapid pace and has as many good
laughs, thrilling moments, and heart
throbS as the most captious play-goer
could demand. There are enough of
the elements of popularity and
success, enough of artistic conception,
enough of uniform and spurs, alkali
dust and brass buttons, love and
danger, to make it the best Of the
recent contributions to the seasons
crop of plays. Mr.. EdeSOn as Lieut..
Ransom, who to rid himself of ennui,
makes a bet to rob the stage, and in
doing it nearly lays the foundation to
court-martial and a hanging, has a
role that fits him admirably, for he
has alertneSS, presence pOiSe, earnest
ness and fine talent for the eXplOita-
tion of American humor. Mr.. Harris
has chosen an admirable cast, and in
his stageing of the play has retained
the atmosphere of army-post life in a
convincing manner. ''RansOn'S Folly"
has undoubtedly come to stay.

The business OF Lord & Thomas has
been one of the most aggressive and
progressive of it's kind in the country,
having in recent years been under the
management of A. l.. Thomas, whose
Judgment on advertising matters is

To give some idea to the public of
the growth of advertising as whole,
it might be stated that in two years
the business of Lord & Thomas alone

The Betting on the Election.

Dispatches from New York say that since the publication of Judge Parker's letter of acceptance on Monday of this week the betting has run much strong CT for the republican side. Ever since the opening of the campaign the re- publicans have been offering large odds. but the odds have been greatly increased this week. Thus, a special dispatch from New York on Wednes- day said:
 Election betting in Wall street was much livelier today. with the odds on President Roosevelt heightened to 10 to 4. At those figures, T. H. Smith of fered to bet s25, coo in s1O00 lots Smith made one bet of $25OO to S10Oo with w. A Titus, who took the Parker end. The Roosevelt money on the big offer was understood to come to Smith from a western man.
 Another bet was made on the curb of $2OO0 to $500, or at odds of 10 to l-2 on Roosevelt. The name of the prin- ofpaIs in this bet were not made pub lic."
 It has been truly said that a bet is a fools argument. but it cannot be denied that betting affords some ind.- cation of the trend of public opinion,
Arizona republican., 1904-09-30

and while public opinion would not af- feet the result of a horse race O. prize fight it can readily be seen that 1t IS powerful factor in politics.
 Thus it is not accurate to say that campaign betting is meaningle ess. On the contrary. it is quite significant providing, always, that 1t Is a genuine and not manipulated, like the stock market. for the purposes Of deception.
 It should alwsy be borne in mind that professional betters-bookmallers find profit in varying the odds from time to time This is the secret Of making a "book" that will be remun- erative. no matter what the result.
 Another factor, which, however, win not appear until the last days of the campaign, is the betting done by repre- sentatives of the campaign managers with the idea of influencing public sentiment. It is well known that thousands of dollars of campaign funds have, in close campaigns. been ostentatiously wagered so that waver- ing confidence might be restored or settled confidence be maintained.
 Betting is also greatly influenced by locality. It is quite conceivable that in a strongly democratic community the odds would reverse those Obtainable in a strong republican community. En- vironment has much to do with all hu- man affairs.
 But, aside from these elements which tend to obscure the true significance of election betting. there is still a large volume of wagers which affords q pIet- ty accurate straw vote. When mon- ey Is offered at odds without takers to any great amount it indicates meas urably, though not, of course. uEmis- takably, that the side offering the odds is in the majority and is likely to win, barring reversals of public opinion which would quickly appear in bet ting.
 So that while it is always better and safer not 10 bet on elections, he who does bet will be more likely to win if he gives the odds. The short end" is even a rarer winner in politics than on the race tracks.

The Grave of L'Enfant.

Before we go much further in the
identifying of Washington with mon
uments, parks, and public buildings,
it would be only fitting to recall the
fact that Major L'Enfant, to whom
the city owes most of those features
which make it distinctive in it's
charm, lies in an unmarked grave at
Hyattsville, and might we'll be re-
moved to some more dignihed burial
place marked by a suitable monu-
ment
LEnfant was one of those foreign
ers of thorough training and artistic
instinct who, in the early days of the
republic, gave us some of our best ex-
amples of colonial art. Here and
there in our older towns are houses
and churches of simple and exquisite
design, the work of stray English
men and Frenchmen trained by the
greatest masters of, their time. and
giving to a new country the benefit
of their skill. 1t would have been a
good thing if all later American arch
itecture had followed these models.
but some of our cOuntrymen seem to
think that it would be treason to their
country to admit that Europe knows
anything about architecture.
To the wisdom Os L'Enfant, the
stranger. we owe the fact that Wash
ington is today stately and beauti-
full city, and whatever faults are TO be
seen in the developments of later
years are not due 10 defects in his
plans. but to the ignorance and care
lessness of later generations. Let us
honor him as he deserves.

The Question of Penalty.

1t is a remarkable commentary on
the state of public morality in this
country that even in reading the
cOrOner's verdict on the SlOcum dis
asteT, nine out of ten people undoubt-
eddy said to themselves. But moth
ing will ever be done to those men,"
1t is to be hoped that this popular
impression is wrong. In a Roosevelt
Administration it ought TO be posi-
bic to push indictments against men
guilty Of cOld-blOoded, criminal neg
lect of precautions for the protection
Of human lives.
A curious fact which may be noted
in this connection is that when big
corporations and business houses of
outward respectability are concerned
in such a case, ii is difficult to get a
verdict for a severe penalty. The
most practicable way Of furnishing
men like the officials of the Knicker-
booker Steamboat Company is by ex-
ceptionally heavy damages, although
the most just penalty undoubtedly
would be a term of years in states
prison. But the fact is that it is hard
to get a jury TO send a respectable
seeming man Of large business inter
ests to prison even for such a crime
as having caused the death of a few
hundred people through his greed for
money. The punishment can be
made to fall on his pocket much more
easily, and to be anything like de-
terrent, the fine in such a case must
be made heavy enough to make it
Improbable TO do business on a basis
that involves the risk of human life.
There is only one sort Of crime for
which the business interests" of the
country believe it is right TO send a
man of well-known business position
TO prison, and that is betrayal of their
trust. If he has been trusted by a
company in such a position as treas
urer, and has gone off with it's funds.
then stripes are none too good for
him, but it will surprise the country
very much if any of the officials or
directors of the Knickerbocker
Steamboat Company get a sentence

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
KERN, OF INDIANA
State Will Present His Name for
Second Place on the Ma
tiOnal Ticket.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July John
". Kern, candidate for governor on the
Democratic ticket in 1900, whose name
will tie presented by the Indiana dele
gates at St. Louis for the second place
on the ticket. has received assurances Of
the support OF both factions at ST
Louis. and his friends here are now con-
fident 4 his nomination.
Ken, was gold Democrat up TO the
first nomination of Bryan. but support
ed him. In 1890 the candidate OF the
party for governor made a tour Of the
State with Bryan. and the two became
warm friends. Whenever Bryan comes
here he visits Kern. and has spoken ap-
proyinsly Of hts Democracy in many
places in the State. Word came from
INN today that he could Cneerfully sup
port Kern for the second place.
As Kern Is a Parker delegate from this
State, and one OK tn" most earnest
workers for the judge against Hearst, II
Is assumed that he wiz have the sup
port Of Parker's friends in the COnYen-
ton and that both wings of the party
will be united upon him. Letters re
ceiyed from Eastern leaders increase the
confidence Of Kerns friends, as 'he
writer's think the nOmina ton OF Fair
banks should be met by the Democrats
by taking their Vice Presidential candi-
date from the same State.
