4 QUESTION OF STYLE.
Professor Justin III. Smith on PiUac-
tn IN Historical Wrifing

In reviewing recently Professor Justin H
Smiths admirable work Our Struggle Tor
the Fourteenth Colony" we had occasion to
anirnadivert upon the authors style in certain
parts CT the composition. Referring to our
criticism. he writes us the following letter.
which we gladly print as ali interesting contri-
button to the subject;
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On arrount Of the important principle in
vOlved / have concluded to offer a comment on
the review Of "Our Struggle for the Fourteenth
Colony" which appeared IN your valued paper
It is commonly understood now that keen.
alert. energetic in sack suit and a derby
is likely TO know more about his work than a
superannuated clergyman however attiredi but a
generation ago a college professor was pro-
nounced by public opinion no scholar unless he
appareIled himself in black frock coat and a
tall hat. Somewhat in the same way notion
still prevails in many quarters that an historian
must be peculiarly seGate person ana MS IAN
guage always broadcloth.
Now it is very true that when historical
writer treats a subject that ls essentially ee-
waited, expounds general principles or unfolds
broad views of things. he should adopt a meas
ured sustained and perhaps somewhat massive
diction: but when (as was in large part the
design of the work nentioned) he wishes to
place his reader in the thick OF events, ena bic
him to catch the feelings of the day, and bring
him into close contact with personalities often
far from statey-in short, aid him TO realize the
past-the adoption of such style would prove a
serious if not a fatal handicap. Subject and
object should control the diction AS Pope said:
When Ajax strives some rocks vast weight to
throw,
The line too labours. and the verse moves slow:
Not So when swift Camilla scours the plain.
Flies Ger the unbending corn and skins along
the main
To this principle add practical consideration
Intelligent people demand to be told about the
past They demand also that vivacious events
be described vivaciously and picturesque events
picturesquely. And if the thorough inveStiga-
tor does measurably satisfy these just de-
mands they turn to the inaccurate historian and
the ''historicaf' novel. The consequent distor
tion of opinion must always be unfortunate and
in the case of our own hstory-mght have
serious results.
It was for these reasons that l wrote as did.

Style in literature IS at bottom. OF course, an
instructive affair. but IT may be developed
through study, ana good book on the subject
is always welcome Such a book has been pre-
pared by Professor Lane Cooper, of Cornell Uni
versity. and published by the Macmillans under
the title of '"Th0ries of Style. with Special
Reference to Prose Composition" In a general
introduction the author offers not his own theory
of style. but the theory of Wilhelm Wackernagle,
with whom he feels himself in agreement. In
this we have an excellent definition of style. as
.the mode of representation in language. con-
ditoned partly by the psychological peculiarities
of the one who represents. partly by the matter
and purpose OF what is represented" OF course
the idea of style has fascinated unnumbered
writer's and Professor Cooper gives us some
canita1 reading in his seventeen chapters made
nm of the announcements of many analysts
from Plato, Aristotle and Longinus down to
ctovanson and Pater. German and French
writers are also represented. Study of this vol
uroa will not so much teach the young author
what to do as lead him into the right path and
stimulate his feeling for. the subject. Prefxed
TO the work is a most useful photography.

A Monument 10 Dishonor.

1t is hardly to be wondered at that
the Madison Square Garden, one of the
three really great buildings in the
United States, is becoming an eyesore
to New Workers. When the structure
was erected, it was hailed as the crown
ing achievement of one of the foremost
architects of the world and at once
took rank as one Of the three t'monu-
ments' of, the country, the two others
being the Capitol at Washington, and
the Boston Public library. Stanford
White built the Madison Square Garden,
and the things he did and the ruin he
accomplished in the magnificent tower
make the wonderful pile an object of
aversion, to most New Workers. Some
of them do not hesitate to say that the
tower was actually designed with the
object IN view to which it was put,
and In any event it is indeed "monu-
ment, " not to Whites talent. but to
mis- infamy.
we suppose Jnere are very lew news
paper readers who are not familiar
with the story of Evelyn Thaw, the
girl-wife of the young fellow who kill
ed Stanford White, and we are inclined
to think that the very great majority
would acquit Thaw on her story alone.
That Stanford White was human
vulture, preying on young girls, was
known in one way or another by every
body who knew anything about the
man, but that he was capable of de-
scending to such depths was not realiz-
ed until the horrible truth was laid
bare. For there are very few who
doubt Evelyn Thaw's tale. They can
not believe that she could make such
a story out of the whole cloth.

Beefsteak, Backbone and Bigamy

Two widely varying, though para
doxically analogous, causes for crime
have appeared lately, and have been
placed on the records for the wonder
of future generations. One is advanc-
ed by Philadelphia woman who claims
that the odor of beefsteak compels her
to steal, and the other by an Ohio
preacher who married 13 wives be-
cause of some peculiar affection of the
spinal column.
Just how these innocent causes bring
on criminal effects is not clear. There
is no doubt that the odor of some foods
makes people feel like fighting, but
fighting. but fighting cannot be called
a crime in the sense that stealing is.
The lady who has to go out and steal
something every time she smells a
beefsteak should be kept away from
fried onions or there will be murder in
her immediate neighborhood. AS to
the diseased spinal column as related
to bigamy, the connection is made less
visible because as usual thing it takes
man of considerable backbone to
marry one woman, whereas this man
claims that because his is soft he was
compelled to marry Is. This excuse
will hardly do, If his backbone is good
enough to permit his entrance into we'd
lock IL times, it is strong enough to
carry the burden of his harems' support,
and the jury that tries him will do we'll
to fix thus his punishment. AS to the
lady who steals whenever she smells
beefsteak, let her be fed on beef con-
stantly until her soul revolts at the
very sight of it. That will cure her.

Japan'S Poverty.

War talk continues. Authority after
authority supposedly so-has advised
immediate preparation, alleging our
own unpreparedness and Japan's ambi-
ton to rule the Orient as reasons why
we are soon to be the object of attack.
A little study, however, will show that
Japan is absolutely in no condition to
go to war, no matter how ambitious,
how impulsive her people are.
japan is impoverished. Deeply in
debt to England, and several other
nations. including the United States,
she is in no shape to take care of new
obligations, as she must do to enter
into war. She cannot indeed, give the
slightest encouragement to large money
lenders that any further obligations
can be paid without reducing the whole
country to extreme poverty. Recent
reports indicate that Japan's desires
are far outStripping her resources.
The people are already groaning under

enlarged by the new budget. Sixty
millions more than last year are ask
ed, and the total amount is twice as
large as was required before the war
with Russia. Japan lost good many
soldiers in the war, and that is another
reason why she must go slow, regard
less of her impulses.
The Japanese are patient. They may
want to go to wa" with the United
Stats, but if they cannot go soon they
are very willing to bide their time.
They should be watched no less be-
cause they are poor. but no one need
fear that theywill declare war against
the United States until they have money
enough to make some kind of show
ing.

The Limit OF Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60: the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters, the
scientific tonic medicine that revitalizes
every organ of the body. Guaranteed

Simply a Coincidence.

Announcement that John D. Rookie
Teller has given S32,OOO,O0 to the
General Roard of Education was imme-
diately followed by notification of in
crease IN the price Of oil. Of course,
this was simply coincidence, but so
decided was the increase in the price
of oil that the American people are
wondering whether John D. or they
denote the $50. 100000.
Of course Mr.. Rockefeller's gift was
princely. 1t was larger than that of
any single gift BY an American million
aire to any cause or purpose whatever,
1t brought the total of Mr.. Rockefe-
ller's gifts up to $50. 900. 900, an amount
exceeded only by that given by Mr..
Carnegie, whose benefactions now total
Sis, 100000. But there is large siz-
ed suspicion that Mr.. Carnegie's money
came from the people, and practically
a dead certainty that Mr. Rockefeller's
did.
Such enormous sums Of money given
away by individuals would under any
other condition. impress the people
with the generosity and benifcence of
the donors. Unfortunately there is
too much evidence that these millions
have been squeezed from the very
people to whom they are returned, and
they therefore awaken very little graft
tude.
