VIII the future historian be aware
that the people who lived in the TWEEN

will find few letters which the tooth
of time has not destroyed. There will

guards; and the archeologist will I'M
earth blocks of granite and tablets Of
brass with letters cut upon them.
There will be no doubt that those
Americans possessed the art Of writ
ing; but the great libraries and the re-
positories Of newspapers and maya
zines, to which the historian will look
Of daily life, will contain little more
than piles of dust, or volumes in which
nothing is legible, AID which crumble
at touch. This is the fear of the his
torian and the librarian of to-day.
They know that books and magazines,
as well as the daily papers, are now
nearly all printed on paper made from
wood-pulp, which is very perishable.
Fifteen years Is the life allotted to it
by some observers, a period probably
too short. From seventy-five to one
hundred years will doubtless render
any wood-pulp book or newspaper H.
legible, If not too fragile to handle. 1t
is useless to hope for a return to rag
paper. It IL too expensive. No one
can afford to use 8 material which
costs IL cents a pound when his COM
petitors use one LOT which they pay
only cents a pound. For this reason
efforts have been made to induce pub
fishers Of representative papers to
print limited edition on a more dura-
BILE paper, for preservation; but there
are difficulties hard to explain to the
layman, yet evident to those who are
familiar with modern presses; and 80
nothing has been done. The situation
has its compensations. No one who
picks up a modern newspaper and
glances at the array Of crimes, acct
dents and unsavory gossip which is
displayed under "scareheads' can fail
to see one of them. Another lies in
the possibility of being able still to
purchase good linen paper for CORE
spondence or diary. Those who sym
pathize deeply with the future histo-
rian must cultivap the lost art of let
ter-writing, or walk in the footsteps
of good old Pepys.

An interesting fact in all great and
riotous uprisings against law and prop
erty is that women so often figure in
them. This quality of leadership has
existed from the time Of Joan of Arc
to Mother Jones, and from Judith to
Carrie Nation there has been no lack
Of women to assume the initiative and
undertake what men were reluctant to
do. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Julia
Ward Howe had as large a part as
that Of many statesmen in beginning
and continuing our Civil War. It is
the coupling of highly emotional ma
ture with the deep sincerity of natures
more steadfast that makes women so
lOvable and so dangerous.

An editor is a millionaire without
money, a Congressman without job,
O king without throne He constructs
without a hammer or saw, builds rail
roads without rails or spikes and farms
without a plow. He runs butcher

deals out brains for cash or credit.
The editor is a teacher, a lawyer, a
preacher; he sends truth out to save
