Bread Upon the Waters.

Three thousand years ago there
was an editorial writer in Jerusalem,
named Solomon, who wrote pretty
fair copy. His contributions to the
news columns and his special articles
on the fora and fauna of his coun-
try have unfortunately been lost;
but his paragraphs are still quoted,
his leaders are still in the lead, and
his dramatic serial, originally run in
the Sunday edition, was given such
prominence by the Anthony Com
stocks of that day. who had It ex-
cluded from the males, that it is
still read with pleasure by persons
over thirty years of age.
Solomon was not only a very able
editor, but he seems to have had
large experience. His language was
terse, elegant, and full of poetry.
There was a go and snap to his
headlines that caught attention
without display type, and an incisive
point to his editorial comment that
would make the conscience of an
insurance president vince and cause
a traffic manager to howl about vest
ed interests. His famous series of
editorials on the Vanity of All
Things" is still the Incompatible
classic on that topic, and the despair
of Marse Henry, Colonel Billy, and
Little Willy.
One sentence in his Vanity articles
shows his keen perception of the
journalistic practices of all times,
and his philosophic acquiescence in
their utility: Cast thy bread upon
the waters; for thou shalt find il
after many days" OF course, this
sentence is highly fguratiye. As a
cub reporter Solomon had examined
the reports of the Agricultural De-
partment of the Kingdom of Israel
and had made space rates by clip
ping largely from its pamphlet on
Intensive Cultivation under Irriga-
ton" When he looked over the ex-
change list and saw his best thoughts
and most brilliant paragraphs appro-
priated by the other papers his mind
reverted to the methods of planting
used by the farmers, and he said:
Cast thy bread upon the waters; for
thou shalt find it after many days"
No wonder Solomon was consider
ed the wisest OF mankind; he didn't
care very much Who claimed origi-
nality for his best work; all he con-
cerned himself about was to cast
abroad the seeds OF real ideas and
he was certain. from experience, that
after many days he would find them
again in the other papers-eaeh ap-
propriated and tagged with the local
label.
The Washington Times hasn't a l
Solomon on it's staff, and it is glad
TO have its labors used by other
papers, but it would like TO know
when the New York Sun began its
advocacy of special train for the
President. The Times printed. its
first editorial on that subject May Is.

does II appropriate a subject tnat

knee.

who was accused Of being the perpe-
TRAITOR Of crime Of violence. He was
flaxen haired and handsome, in wash
ed out negative fashion, with frighten-
ed blue eyes and clean shaver face,
with weak, sensitive mouth. His age
may have been about twenty-seven, his
dress and bearing that of gentleman.
From the pocket of his light summer
overcoat protruded the bundle of in
dorsed papers which proclaimed his
profession.

said Holmes WATSON, would you

Underneath the vigorous headlines
which our client had quoted read the
following suggestive narratives:
