Jasper Judkins Is dead. Maybe you
didn't know him. Years ago he ran a
hotel at Rcd Oak, Iowa, the name and
fame Of which was such that it will not
be forgotten while the present genera

was I'VE strive to please, - and he did.
Twenty years ago he moved to Fullerton
where he kept tavern for number of
years, and later followed the same voca-
ton In Columbus. For years he was his

all, in his chair, but never SO soundly
that he wouldn't awaken If the slightest
disturbance were made. in the room. Be-

to favor the block signal system, freight

properly. Non-collapsible cars are also

and continued in 1.-THE Romance of Leon

Enemies of Tax Reform.

The Duluth Herald sees signs, Of a
concerted effort to defeat H the tax
amendment; at the coming general cleo
ton. An attack made on account of
the exemption of church property has
been made in several parts Of the state,
and is attributed to the scheming of
large interests which do not want tax
reform. s@ss@ <'~>s * = < = 49,
The Herald might have discovered
another evidence Of this concerted ef-
fort in the action of the resolutions
committee of the recent democratic
state convention. The interests opposed
to tax reform evidently had friends
on this committee, which considered
the Endorsement of the tax amendment.
and then deliberately turned it down.
Friends Of the amendment raised their
voices on the floor. and one of the
committee. who is close to the demo-
cratic state administration. attempted
to Justify the committee's action. He
said there was opposition to the amend
ment. That is no news, and even the
discovery made by the Herald is no
new thing. There is and has been op-
position to rational tax reform in this
state. and this opposition would like to
see the "wide-open' amendment de-
feated. Some Of the opposition at
least comes from interests that are not
paying their. just share of the public
burden and want no change that might
result in hitting them harder. That
opposition controlled the democratic
resolutions committee, but when the
friends of the amendment on the con-
vention floor showed signs of fight, they
recognized the ruling sentiment for tax
reform and submitted. So now the tax
amendment stands Endorsed in the dem
ocratic as we'll as the republican state
platform. But the attitude Of the res
olutions committee is not explained. It
is best accounted for on the Herald s
theory Of "concerted effort' by enc
mics of tax reform.

THE MAGAZINES

Why Are Books Chiefly be-
cause the writer's like the idea of writing
book. Such is the verdict Of the edi-
tor Of The World To-day, expressed in
/. 1.-THE. Talk of the Office in the Septem-
Der number. That there are many to
whom the idea is attractive is also appar
ent from the statement in the same talk:
1--WE feel our great responsibility most
keenly as we contemplate pile Of manu-
scripts two feet High on the table, the 1T
erary takings perhaps Of a single day"
While the editor does not brand the de-
sire to write and have published book
as an unworthy motive, he plainly re-
CARDS as much higher motive the belief
of an author that he has a message, "a
consuming message" for the world. Ger
tainly If this motive alone could rule
there would be far fewer books than there
are, and, doubtless, far better ones. i

summary Of recent opinions on the SUBJ
ject in it's September issue, and this shows
that students believe that the world
must look for the rise Of some other lit
erary form. Some say biography and
history will come to the fore to displace
the novel Others believe that the COM
ing literature is to be that Of the drama,
and still others look for a. reign of the
short story. Certainly unless the novel
undergoes radical improvement It will
deserve to be superseded. !.
