How Churchill Works.

Winston Churchill the author who
passed through Washington few days
ago en- route South for much-needed
rest after his arduous political campaign
in New Hampshire is original in all his
ways. 4 Missourian by birth and rear
ing, there is nothing in any of his lit
eraTy work showing the effect of his
Missouri environment. It is true that
some Of the scenes Of The Crisis" per-
haps his greatest book, are laid In and
around St Louis. his home city, but
this was necessity Of his theme rather
than an unconscious adaptation of ma
teriai ready 20 hand. Mr.. Churchill de-
liberately abandoned a career in the
navy 10 take up literary work. When
he returned TO his home from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis and announced
this purpose, the friends Of his family
in St Louis laughed at what they called
his pretensions. He secured a position
as a clerk in the Federal service at St
Louis, and at night buckled down to the
hard toll of writing. After he had got
well into his first historical novel of
note, Richard Carvei," he resigned his
clerkship. rented an Office in a down
town sky-scraper and there every day
he worked with his pencil mare hours
than anybody else in the building. Mr.
Churchill makes no claim to genius. -
He believes the only way TO succeed at
literature is to work. work. work. and
then more work. He is not yet forty
years Old and with his indefatigable en-
ergy it is believed that If he shall live
twenty years he viii have to his credit
greater number of American historical
novels than any other of the large list
of men and women who have essayed
that character of work.

No star.chamber Strings.

Having been assured, and in an author
itative way, that the board Of education
unqualIfedly and unreservedly frowns
upon star-chamber methods and Intends
to adhere strictly to the law in the mat
ter Of open sessions. The Herald is not
disposed to devote further space to the
issue raised in the case of Principal Car
GOza. 1t is believed that no good purpose
was served by going into secret session,
and it said so. It's opinion is unchanged.
Accepting DR.. Chancellor's statement
that the law specifically provided for
closed doors when charges affecting a
teachers character were under consider
alton, The Herald Withdrew its criticism
Of the boards action. Now the super
intendents construction Of the statute IS
brought into question 1t reads:
''The organization meeting lof the board, and all
meetings whatsoever thereafter shall be open to the
public, except committee meetings dealing with The
appointment Of teachers
Certainly this is far from being a spe-
citic provision, or one that. left no al
tentative save for a secret sitting. The
Herald may have been premature and
oVeTgencrous IN its issue Of yesterday,
but that is of no consequence. The point
OF moment is that the board henceforth
If it has not done so heretofore-will
divorce Itself entirely from star-chamber
methods. That this viii meet with the
approval Of the public and be indorsed
by the teachers as a body n.,.y be taken
for granted.

Cockreu as "a Soldier.


Although the Hon. Francis Marion
CockreH. who is now confined to his resi-
dence in Washington By an nlnesss that
has alarmed his friends, was one Of the
most distinguished Confederate brigadiers
who held a seat in the Senate. il is in
teresting TO note that during the past
dozen or more years OF his service In
that great body he made no reference
in bis brief biography IN the Congression-
al Directory to his connection with the
ill-staTred COnfederacy. The Missourian.
Of course. was not ashamed Of the part
he took in the great war; indeed. it is
known that he was proud OF the record
he established as a fighter and an eff
hcient commander Of men. But he held
that the official Biographies OF the MEM
bers Of Congress should set forth modestly
and succinctly only the salient features
Of the service they have rendered the na-
ton, without any references whatever 20
what they may have done against the
Union. His distinguished colleague. the
late George Graham Vest was in agree
ment with Gen. CoCkren on this point.
and although Mr.. Vest was a member OF
the Confederate Senate his biography
in the Congressional Directory made no
reference To this interesting fact Gen.
COcIreli, by the way, Is credited with
having secured the passage OF more pri-
vate pension bills for veterans of the
Union army during his unbroken service
Of thirty years in the Senate than aHE
other member OF either branch of Con
gress. As a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission he has maintained
the reputation he won in the Senate as
one Of the hardest working men in pub
lie life. His present illness IS directly
due to his constant application 10 his
oew duties.
