Policing the Police.

Like institutions of the nature Of the
Law and Order league, the peoples lob
by at Washington, which is proposed in
the interest of honest legislation, sug-
gests that something is the matter with
the peoples agents already on the job.
OF course the peoples lobby will be
so many attorneys .,r special advocates
maintained at the legislative halls to
see that the elected and paid repre-
sentatives of the public do their work
conscientiously. Just as leagues to
maintain order and justice in the land
are believed to be necessary in some
communities in spite of the fact that
laws and officials to enforce them pro-
vide for every contingency known to
complex society, so the projectors of
the peoples lobby believe in a duplica
ton of agencies and a multiplication of
forces. Perhaps the innovation is need
ed. but it should not be.
AS originally constituted the house of
representatives was intended to be a
sort of a peoples forum. The men,
bers We're to be sent by the popular
vote direct to the capitol to watch and
work for the public interest They were
to hold up and trim or suppress alto
gether measures originating In the
more exclusive and arstocratic upper
house of which they could not approve.
Every two years the membership
might be changed, and it was not sup
posed that in so short term the man
of the people" would betray the sacred
trust imposed by his electorate. For
years the press reporters acted as pub
lie watch dogs All the great papers
really few in number, but great in in
fluence-kept able men in the press gal
lery, and bad measures were first ven
tilated in the news columns and then
attacked editorially. Press associations
and combinations have taken the per-
sonal element out of reporting, and the
Washington correspondent is no longer
feared by corruptionists nor respected
by his readers. We may learn to re-
spect the peoples lobby. but it must be
able, bipartisan and free from sensa
tiOnalism.

James Whitcomb Riley.

In the current issue of Talent there
appears a story of how this poet. who
sings from the heart out" rose from
the tail end of patent medicine and
concert wagon to his present popular
ity. Riley was for years writer on
country papers. His first contribution
to the public at large was supposed to
be the amateur effort of one Ben f.
Johnson. This was "The Old Swim
min Hole" In note to the editor the
mythical Johnson told how the verses
submitted had pleased his friends,
who were "astin' to have 'em struck
off"
Under this pen name James Whit
comb Riley made his literary bow, and
his first book 1.-THE Old Swimmin'
Hole and 'Leven More POEMS" was
published the next year. OF his earlier
experiences with the muse we read in
Talent:
The father, a country lawyer, wished
his son to study for admission to the bar;
but. to quote from. Nyes Autobiography
of Riley" Finding that political econ
omy and Blackstone didn't rhyme he
slid out of the office one hot, sultry after
noon and ran away with a patent medi-
cine and concert wagon, from the tail END
of which he was discovered by some rela-
tives in the next town violently abusing
bass drum" Here he not only rewrote
many of the songs sung by the company,
but composed some original stories and
verses Once, in later years, after he had
given a recital for President Cleveland
and distinguished guests at the White
House, some one asked him where he had
found a certain poem that had received
great applause. The reply was, Il wrote
that myself to recite from the steps OF a
medicine wagon in Indiana"

Henry B. Lrving's first appearance on
the American stage naturally resulted
in comparisons between his acting and
that of his famous father Sir Henry
All the critics comment upon the strik-
ing points of physical resemblance,
which they regard as in some ways
both an advantage and handicap, and
many detect in his acting and his voice
reflections of some of his fathers pc
culiar mannersms These resem
blances. however. they attribute to
heredity and not to conscious imita-
ton. He is discussed as a promising
candidate for that place of pre-eml
nence in the theatrical world lately
left vacant by Sir Henry. The New
York Evening Post recognizes ''hs
conspicuous but unripe ability" and
adds that he has much to learn yet
before he can hope to fill that place,
but that 'there is no good reason ap-
parently why he should not aspire to
it,"
The critic of the New York Times
places young Irving far above the rest
of the newer generation of actors
Less enthusiastic, the Suns dramatic
editor found "the note of authentic
genius conspicuohsly lacking" in the
performance, although ia ent was pres
ent in the highest degree. In the New
York Tribune William Winter ends
review, in which he credits Irving with
many strong qualities which go to
make an actor. with the verdict, "He
does not appeal to the heart"
