and gig, will you, to tow my machine around to
the garage?"
"Surel" said Harcourt What's the matter
this time?"
'Needle-valve worked loose and I've choked
carbureter," explained Norton. Il thought I'd
tinker it up myself-been supining under the old
thing for half hour, but it's go for either of
Thanks awfully for your gig. By the way,
old man, what's up with you? You look as seedy
as seed.
Il ami" suddenly exclaimed Harcourt, and then
in a burst of confidence he told his friend of his
troubles. There must be some reason he con-
cuded. "Of course you don't understand, Norton;
but | know the stuff | write is just good and
better than what I've always done"
1t is queer said Norton, his jolly face grave
at the tale of his friends woe III tell you Harry
the trouble must be purely mechanical Get down
under your desk your back and gaze up into the
apparatus. Test everything, and you're bound
to come across the trouble, whether you fix
it not. Ta-ta, old mani"
Harcourt looked after his friends vanishing rain
coat, and from sheer force of habit ruminated
his words to see if they could be used material.
As he rumnated, the solution of his own problem
flashed upon him
All at once he understood why his jokes had been
rejected, his stories returned his sent back
And he realized the truth he turned CHASTITY pale
and bowed his head in his hands Thus his wife
found him, she triPped blithely in to ask for
little shopping money.
Harry" she cried, what in the world is
the rnatter2'
Matter enough! I am ruined" he replied, in a
meodramatic atmosphere.
Ruined? Why? How" and bravely renouncng
her purposed shopping expedition, Mrs Harcourt
sat down beside her husband.
1 don't often bother you with business details,
Ethel, Harcourt began; Il but l can tell you in
few words why l don't and can't sell any more
manuscripts
Ethel didn't say Why? she just looked at him,
knowing he'd go
Because" he continued, "the only thing the
editors buy nowadays is automobile stuff. Whether
it's joke jingle short story book, it must be about
automobiles, and written in their crazy jargon. The
hero must wear automobile togs, and the heroine
a motor-cap held on with shirred chiffon veil
Then the intricacies of the machinery must be
detailed ad naHsedm, and incidentally little fool
love-story shows its every thirtyeight pages.
Oh, know the trouble with my stuff now It's
back numbers Oser, appendicitis, cruelty to
animals dialect stories, nature books-a the legti-
mate subjects are knocked out by an automobza-
ton of forces.
Well deary can't you write automobile jokes
and stories too?"
Evening star., 1906-03-11

Her husband looked
at her. by Jove Ethel" he cried, you're won
der! You've saved my life. OF course they dontl"
And so, the pretty voice went on, you can at
least write jokes and jinges about automobiles
/ do than that!' cried Harcourt.
Il see it all now 1 must have been wool gathering
not to have it long ago. I'll write short
stories-yes, even serials and books. And I'll
lift the jargon from the best-selling stuff in the
market Clear out, Ethel dear II see you at dinner
But now l must systematic this thing.
With happy alacrity Harcourt took an indexed
blank-book from pile of new ones in his supply
closet Then getting together a number of recent
automobile novels he quickly recorded such terms
lowered the sprag," skating pneus,
advance sparkling lever" taking out the inlet, -
"cotton-waste in the tool-box," baek-kick" and
"speedometer." Then growing bolder, he appro-
priated whole phrases, such as If the aspiration
pipe works loose, the vapor can't get from the
bureter to the explosion chamber and If the cor
nectngrod that works the magnet gets out of adjust
ment, the timing of the explosions will be wrong
He not always able to understand why there
should be worms in the steering gear, and why a
jockey-pulley should be provided for the purpose
of breaking BELTS but all these things went into his
indexed notebook N alphabetical order.
Then to work. He took his original skeletons - of
jests and fitted them out with his new gear The
"Mother-in-Law" joke was done up in dozen
ways all relating to the easy destruction of ones
mother-in-law by automobile. The g Irate
Father" joke, the Tramp Saving Wood joke,
the Little Brother, the Young Wife the
Minister'S Call, all were worked over with auto
mobile illusions. Writing with feversh haste,
Harcourt soon had large bundle of these ready.
Verse came next. Balades were easy. Where
is the auto of yester-year?" made fine refrain.
Sonnets limercks, all styles of meter flowed swiftly
from his trained and facile pen.
Then short stories. All the stories recently
returned to him were remodeled with trouble
at all. The plot and characters were kept intact,
the local color shifted to some place suitable for
automobiling and the whole thickly sprinlled with
phrases from his notebook.
The scheme worked well, as he knew it would.
Everything he sent out was accepted, and his out
put limited only by the time necessary to write
the manuscripts properly. Soon Harcourt rich
enough to buy automobile.
But dom want one, do we? he said to his wife.
No, indeed" she replied, shuddering at the
thought. 1t would be like a merchant riding in
his delivery wagon. Wen take a yachting trip
the Mediterranean, and while we're doing that
you can write novel about motor-trip through
Normandy, and publish it over both names
Just the thing" cried Harcourt, and can
get postcards down at the postcard shop, for
illustrations photographed en- route"

If we could only afford to get one,
perhaps l could learn to run it, and
then l could tell you the technical
terms said Ethel sympathetically.
No, you'd get them all

your clothes. And then, l tell
you, l can't afford to buy one.

this session.
4 strong effort is to be made to pull

measure was passed by the senate last

The fate OF the bill is in the speakers
hands. and if Mr.. Cannon can be won
over the measure will become law.
The bill lowering the duties on Phil

States. popularity known as the Phil

piece OF leftover" legislation. Presi-

lation. believing that it will go long
way toward strengthening the faith
OF the Philippines in the good inten-

Among the other unfinished pieces
OF legislation that will be pressing for
consideration are the Foraker bill, to

CURRENT WEEK TO
Be IMPORTANT

President Roosevelt returned to
Washington last evening after one of
the most remarkable journeys ever
undertaken by an American chief ex-
ecutive. He has travelled thousands
OF miles of sea, crossed the narrow
strip Of land which separates the At
lanttc and Pacific where the Americas
meet, inspected the work being done
on the great isthmian canal, and in
cidentally shattered the tradition tina,
an American president must not, dur
ing his term of office, VISIT any land
other than his own. During his stay
on the isthmus the president visited
the republic of Panama and for time
was under the protection of the Pana-
man flag. On his return voyage he
made brief call at Porto Rico.
A congress for considering the meth
DDS Of social education will be held in
Boston this week. The first session
will be held on Friday, and the meet
ings will continue for three days.
Many authorities on social science will
participate in the meetings and take
part in the discussion on the wide
range OF subjects.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR,

The political observer can readily
see in the trend of national politics
a tendency on the part of the .Ameri-
can people to nominate for third
term the present incumbent of the
white house. Never in the history of
the republican party with possibly
two exceDtiOns--that of Hayes and
Garfield-has there been no ,pronoun-
ced candidate for the presidency be-
fore the people at this period of what
nigh, be termed the reposc Dr pnlit-
zeal agitation.
Hayes was TO some extent Il con-
ventiOn accident and Garfield was a
compromise. All the other candida;, .s
we're known so soon as the intermedi
ate elections had been held There is
no such man in view at this time ex-
cept the president himself Lee; the
reader cast his eye over the list OF re-
publicans Of national fame who would
in all probability be able to land such
position by a demand from the pub.

DRAINAGE LEGISLATION.

Senator Cashel. president oi I'll.
state drainage league in writing to
the Evening Times in reference to the
Fargo meeting asks that We have pa
tience To quote his words: IL see
that you are becoming impatient
with all wind and no results. Be pa
tent. We must wait for legislation"
1t is not the desire of the Evening
Times to retard the success OF the
drainage work Of the valley. for it
realizes that the salvation of the farm
ers OF this part of the state lies large
ly in the success OF that l-soject.
But it is doubtful if a single new
idea can be advanced in the matter.
Fifteen years have been spent in
gathering data concerning the best
plans for the same. and while much
of this has been preserved in the same
manner the Indian has preserved his
traditions. if the matter is put into
effect before the present generation
dies the valuable part of the facts will
be available
President Cashel says the need of
the scheme now is proper legislation.
and in this particular the Evening
Times agrees with him. We have lit
tie faith in the plaE OF segregating a
part Of the irrigation fund for this
purpose, as Senator Cashel suggests
in his official notice. We believe if
drainage is brought about on any ex-
tensive scale it must be done locally.
Moreover, the western portion of the
state will in all probability oppose the
plan because OF the supposed diversit.
Of interests.
If the money can be borrowed at q
low rate Of interest and repaid b.,
means Of sinking fund which will
not work a hardship on the farmers,
it will be commendable plan. But
failing that. it would be better to so
amend the present laws that the drain
age commissioners would have more
comprehensive power. II drainage is
good thing-and no one questions its
enthusiastically there should be
less litigation over the construction OF
drainage works.
The only trouble with the discon-
nected systems that have been in
vogue in the valley for years is the
fact that they do not merge into any
great system, and in many instance
they do not work to the best adyan-
tage OF the territory sought to be
drained. because the commissioners in
their construction cannot go outside
their jurisdictions, while the topo-
graphy cs the country would demand
that they be carried into and across
other counties. 1t is question ii
centralized board which would not be
hampered by county lines, could not
be created by the legislature which
would Go much to alleviate the pres
ent troubles in this particular.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-11-27

There is no valid reason why the
president should not be his own sue.
cessor. The only one advanced so far
and it is the only one which can be
advanced-is that there Is an unwrit-
ten law that the President shall not
serve more than two terms. Suppose
that Washington did intend to estab-
lish that as a principle in the presi-
Dental succession. Can it be believed
for a moment that he would have
attempted the same if he had foreseen
the conditions at the present time?
Washington was wise in the circum-
stances which confronted him. He
had been in the constitutional conven-
ton and had heard the discussions Of
the danger to the new country from
the respect for monarchal forms of
government which was held by many
OF the people in spite of the fight
which had been made against the
mother country.
Washington ideal was 4 republic.
There were those high in the coun-
ellis OF the nation. however. who fav
ored a limited monarchy. One OF
these became the successor of the first
president. Washington retiring from
Office realized the tendency which a
continuation in office OF the chief ex-
ecutive would have towards a
monarchal form of government. Elect
ed repeatedly, he would in time come
to regard his election as matter OF
right and his position something near
that of 4 prince with limited powers
This was the thing which Washington
soughtto avoid when he established the
rule which for some understandable
reason has been followed to this time
The reasons do not apply to the con-
ditions at the present time and
should have no bearing upon the Sc.
lection of President Roosevelt for an.
other term because the country abso,
lutely demands a continuation of the
heroic work which he will have par,
, TALLY carried into effect The countr.
cannot afford to allow his work t.
cease when half completed. 1t is NJ
disparagement to say that no othe,
man can take it up where he woulo
drop it and carry it to successful
completion.
/ The nation today is in the midst OF
F., an industrial evolution. The balanc,
between the results of gigantic indus.
trial development and national powes
to control and direct the same is being
adjusted. 1t requires a strong Will. q
steady hand and a courageous heart to
direct the adjustment so that the ma
tional integrity may be preserved and
at the same time the inherent rights
of individuals and the reasonable
rights of wealth may not be destroyed /;
that anarchy may be avoided on tn,
one hand and tyranny on the other.
Let him who can name the man who
can fill this mission as we'll as Theo-
dOre Roosevelt and no vii name the
next president of the United States.
