Fiction as Rest Cure; Reason for
Its Popularlty.--Mrs. Katherine Cecil
Thurston, the author of The Masquerader,
In an Interview given in London, assigns
new reason for the popularity Of flc-
tion. She says 1t is because stories serve
as sort of rest cure. Some stories, no
doubt, do, but there are some that make
one awfully tired. The remedy in such
is to be applied by the absent method.
With such an amendment to her inter-
view, we think Mrs Thurston's position
has a good deal In Its support. Among
other things she says: IL
& t'The modern aim, the modern idea
with women as well as with mems to
compress as much as Is humanity reason
able into one lifetime; and the result Of
this feverish state of being resolves itself
into a periodical and insistent need for
distraction from personal concerns To
put the matter very briefly, the novel is,
to my thinking, mental rest cure in an
overtaxed world. II
eve turn to 1t when our minds are
tired, much as we turn to the sea or the
mountains when physically exhausted by
an arduous Season-social or commercial.
However, apart from the matter
Of the personal respite or pleasure that
good fiction has power to bestow, think
there is another ground upon which the
novel may be granted a sjustifica tion for
existence: the ground that, except per-
haps for the work Of the - dramatist, 1t
forms almost the only social record of our
own times

became affected and her legs began to
shrivel. She could no longer walk and
an invalid's cot was her lot from
then on.
She was told that an operation would
relieve her, but her father could not af-
ford the expense. Finally she was TAX

them with.

mother. Mrs. Levi, then took the matter
up. They called the attention of S.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Anti Cult.


"A recent 10 u n a editorial concludes
as follows: The anti nti-imperialists are en-
tlrely out of a job; there's nothing doing
in the anti cult The usual magnificent
ACCURACY Of imperialist journals in
their references to the "antis, their
that sentence. It is true the work of the
"antis'' IS largely done but they are not
"entirely out of a job .9s. ..
But consider the progress made since
the first anti-imperialist meeting called
in this city to consider the subject of
Philippine independence and at which res
olutions favoring it were passed. The
next day the three daily papers of the
city were lurid with denunciations Of the
organizers of that meeting and of the par
Elephants in it.. The republican candidate
for governor at the preceding election was
reported to have said that they were
guilty Of treason and ought to be hanged.
A then distinguished lawyer member. of
the legislature, and now member r-elect Of
the coming legislature, said the same
thing, coupled with the statement that he
would like to help do the hanging. An
able and distinguished member of our
district bench, over his own signature,
expressed similar views. Hearty concur
renee in these sentiments was voiced by
large numbers of our people
But what change in a few short
years! In his last message to the con-
gress the president considers the subject
of Philippine independence, and with 9TH
er things, says: "And I most earnestly
hope that in the end they the Philip
pines) will be able to stand, if not entire
ly alone, yet in some such relation to the
United States as Cuba now stands And in
the editorial columns of 7 h e j o u r n |,
and of it's two local daily contemporaries
| the presidents words on the subject nave
been approved, and message and editor
| ials approvinglv read by thousands whom
short tire ago the suggestion of Phil
| ippine independence would have thrown,
| into a frenzy. 1t is true the president
and the papers had filings at the "antis.' y
But that does not matter. The fact re-
mains that even in these quarters frenz1ed
opposition has changed to calm contem-
| plation. From calm contemplation tc
hearty support, coupled with the claim
of having always been in it's favor, is not
likely to be as long journey as the one
already taken.s
The organized anti-imperialists of the
country are strengthening their organic
| ations and continuing the agitation fo1
Philippine independence. When it is ac-
complished and not until then, will there
be nothing DOING in the ''anti cult anc
the ''antis'' be "entirely out of a job
that is as to this particular instance o1
| imperialism. Eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty and they will oppose 9th
er appearances Of imperialism In oul
country should they ever come.

We don't hear 50. much talk about
confidence as the basis Of business pros
perity as we did when confidence was
conspicuous bMsiits absence. Neverthe-
less. the truth$of the assertions regard
ing confidence that were so freely made
seven or eight years ago is unques-
toned. While confidence is not much
talked about now, there is any amount
of. il in existence. There has not been
time in the history of this part OF
the country when business men hao
more confidence in the future than they
have now. Everybody expects 1913 to
be good year. Every body is eager TO
enter the race Of business for 1905.
There is abundant justification for
this confidence. The farmers OF the
northwest, considered as whole, nave
lust come thru most prosperous year.
In the past year there has been some
trimming of sails in business circles
recklessness and rashness have been
eliminated. There is a general dlspo'
sition to expand, but there is little
hankering after the mushroom growth
that makes larger figures In the BOOKS
than in the bank statement. Business
is on sound basis.
The business world of the northwest
faces new year strong in resources
and with the optimistic spirit that
works wonders.

WHAT one UNION

He Tells How the Affairs of the Painters
and Decorators Were Handled and
How Peace Has Been Maintained -
His Defeat for Reelection Big
Surprise :. 49,. .f4s.,s. ...r.

Business Manager A. G.. Bainbridge
OF the Painters and Decorators union
made his annual report to the union this
week. The showings are highly salts
factory, and, while in some respects the
figures are not as large as those of last
year, this is due to the fact that the
northwest is now pretty thoroly organ

Initiation fees amounting to $2,3675O
were collected, which is $1,218.5O less
than in 1908. Dues collected, 81, ,43S.80,
bringing the total collections up to
$3,8O6.3O. The sum of $6l6.5O was paid
upon application fees by applicants who
have disappeared without being initi-
ated. In 1904, seventy-four members
were initiated, against l35 in 1903.
During the year trouble was reported
on 6S4 jobs, and in most cases an adjust
ment made. Union men were compelled
the employment of nonunionists, but
in only two instances was the trouble
serious. From the middle of April un-
til the middle Of June, it was impossi-
BILE to supply the demand for men, and
486 men were sent from headquarters to
work on jobs. In the remaining months
there was always surplus Of men.
calls to the number OF 11S were made
on sick or injured members, in addition
to those made by members of the sick
committee. Letters numbering 563
were sent out, besides literature in the
interest of organized labor in general.
Three meetings of the Structural
Building Trades alliance were attended,
at Chicago and Indianapolis. The bust
ness manager attended all but five meet
ings Of the Building Trades council,
and every meeting Of the Trades as
sembly since the union has been affil-
lated with that body. The work of the
office required his presence at meetings
IL to 1 o'clock, with at least one Sun
day a month given to the work.
Six contractors have agreed to union
conditions in the term, but these do not
offset loss thru two large shops letting

or called out have succeeded in securing

very successful, in some cases employ

Bainbridge says the union is on a more
solid and substantial basis than ever
before in its history, with a seemingly
bright future in prospect.

ments the Weekly writer was only very
small part of the spirit OF old Japan, and
perhaps, a feminine part, as many Of the
most famous works Of Japanese literature
were written by women. A nation must
stand among nations by it's masculine
qualities; the qualities Of intellect and
WILL and, above all the power Of self
defense. So Japan had to win her spurs
before her greatness could be fully ac-
cepted. Japans triumph seems due to
three things: powerful ruling class; an
artisan class perfect in the mastery of the
materials and very adaptive; and a peas
ant class full Of vigor, health, endurance
and self-sacriice.'

If tho consensus of opinion among

is overcrowded and legal incomes are
"not what they used to be- If the
medical fraternity is to be believed,
there are too many doctors for all to
make respectable livings. The ministry
is underpaid, and the Minnesota teach
ers assembled this week will tell the
SAME story about their own profession.
Ask any newspaper man, and he will
tell you that the stress of competition is
keeping salaries down to a lower level
than men can earn in any other calling.
The same story is told by men in
every walk of life. Nine out Of every
ten men at 40 talk as tho they had
made a mistake in choosing their life
work, and if they could start again they
would start differently.
Would they? Possibly, if they knew
all at 20 that they know now, at 40. But
even with another sort of start, it is
ten to one that they would again be
calling their: profession overcrowded and
underpaid in another ten or twenty
years. 49,. .~

Neither does it mean that there are no

are not deferred by such talk. It has
