They are menace to any country; for they believe

Under these circumstances anarchists deserve to

should purchase island and deport thereto every

This would give these men opportunity to put

PLAGIARISM.

WE HAVE been requested to state as to what con-
stituted plagiarism. The definition is simple. He
who steals anothers writing is plagiarist To steal
anothers ideas and to give expression to those ideas
in your own phraseology, is plagiarism You cannot
call it anything else The man who thinks he is
justified in pagiarizing article because he thinks
it is impossibility to say anything on the sub
ject, is advancing very weak apology. We have
read innumerable articles upon the theme of plagia-
rism, but we do not remember of anyone approving
or praising plagiarist
It is an easy thing to writer Of being a
plagiarist. Such charge should never be made un-
til anaple evidence is at hand to substantiate
belief. We may be convinced in own mind that
certain article stolen, but have the right to
give expression to belief such insufficient
evidence? Is it not possible that might be mis-
taken? If further investigation proves that there
was analogy in verbiage and that only the title Of
the subject treated was analogous what apology
make to adequately correct the erroneous belief
which we have spread broadcast? A few perfunctory
remarks will not suffice
Everyone has right to form opinion, to give
expression to his belief and to Have the courage Of
his Conviction However, pose for any
great length Of time as oracle of unerring judy
ment who is too hasty in giving expression to beliefs
which are not warranted We believe that every
man who writes for The MIRROR is giving us square
DEAL Until we have conclusive evidence to the con-
trary shall give each the benefit of the doubt
Whenever the charge of plagiarism is proven, we
shall publish the mans name and register number.

Biased Opinion.

In recent address Mr.. Henry James, the
novelist, said that newspapers nothing more
than black eruptions Of type and they like
sters like maniacs breaking loose" The press must
have said some very unpleasant things in regard to
Mr.. James literary productions in order to cause
such an undignifed eruption His opinion is not
very fattering toward the newspapers. It is expect
ing too much to imagine that the newspapers will
don sackcloth and ashes On the contrary, we
expect that many of them will tell the public what
they think of Mr.. James.

The Modern Novel.


PROFESSOR WILLIAM LYON PHELPS of Yale, lee
tured recently at Columbia University "The Edu-
cational Value of the Modern Novel,"
After an interesting review Of the status Of the
modern art of fiction just now, with particular atten-
ton paid to the novelistic literature of Russia,
France and England Professor Phelps mentioned
the apprehension felt in many circles account Of
the growing popularity Of the novel, The cause of
it he found mainly in the spread of public school ed
ucation, with it's resulting enormous increase OF the
demand for interesting and entertaining reading Of
all kinds.
In order to make the apprehension groundless,
he said it would not do to stop such reading sup
posing this to be possible, but what must be done
was to see what could be got out of the novel, The
best way of weaving the children from reading trash,
Professor Phelps said, was to place in their hands
equally interesting books that we're we'll written.
Thus the novel might be turned from source of
temptation into one of pleasure and of education.
The novel he regarded as the mirror of contemporary
thought and he considered it next to impossible
nowadays to follow what is going in the minds Of
our fellow-men without having recourse to novel
readng. Searchlight Magazine.
