Tho "Great American Novel;

Ihc SGreat American Novel;
Hal Caine, the popular English nov
elist, promptly ~disavowed the ambi-
put American m%illionaires into a novel.
He said:
1 do not feel able to attempt such an
undertaking. I do not know American
milionaires we'll enough. and so your
RockefelierS are in no danger. American
authors are better qualified for the I'M
dertaking. 1t is not for me to attempt to
write what will be the great American
novel. There is nothing 1 would like bet
ter to do, but I cannot.
I would rather write that story than be
president Of the United States. 1 would
rather write the story Of wealth and it's
relation to society than achieve the diplo-
matte triumph Of your president In bring
ing about peace between Russia and ia
pan. There is nothing in the world finer
b to write about this. but no one
knows so we'll that he can't do it as I.
Mr.. Game further declared that
America is the proper scene for a novel
Of that character because it sis the
country that best typihes those condi-
tons that seem to make the rich CON
stantly richer and the poor poorer. 1t
is the money country Of the world"
In his opinion the subject is the great
est possible for the greatest genius
America can produce. With this hint
the American legion of authors can
strike out boldly, confident that they
are on the right track.

MlLIrlA men over the state are, very
much exercised over the disbandment
of companies by the adjutant general,
or. as they say, by Col. Creel, ofshis own
motion, and they are asking by what
authority the colonel is acting. They
call attention to the statute which says
that the adjutant general shall be chos-
en- from the line and field officers and
reassert that the action of Governor
Sarles in appointing Col. Creel to this
position was absolutely without warrant
and that the Office is not and cannot be
legally held by him. If this idea should
5c correct, what would be the tatus OF
the companies that have been disband.

as a measure that violates the principles
of the republican form of government
lnasmuch as it provides for a secret bal

PETER LARsoN,of Montana is doubtless
the richest Scandinavian in America.
Out in Montana they say that he is the
richest man in the Northwest next to
Senator W. \. Clark. The most modest
estimate of his fortune is 100000,
while many men in position to judge
say that it will approach %s25,00o,ooo'
The former figure is undoubtedly too
conservative. Peter Larson is a Dane
by birth, having been born On the island
of Fuen ffty-six years ago. For the first
twenty years his life was that of any

No COMPROMISE With Robbers

The American Bankers association

change, and the fact that it is needed
shows that rascals have been allowed
to escape and that perhaps without
