Gov. Stuart's Story.

Gov Stuart, of Pennsylvania, ap
proaches public speaking with diff.
dence. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor Of
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself, and to
day he makes strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even a short address without first re-
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi
ence for a surprise. The other day,
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story:
There was a loquacious Scottish
dominic VINO always had something to

The iourneymen writer's write

leans read, says Walter Page in

that we love to fool ourselves
about. We talk about literature"

plying that the reading we do is of lit
erature. The truth all the while Is,
we read little else than the writing Of
the hacks-living hacks, that is, men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life and
thought are not really affected by cur
rent literature, that we read the liv-
ing writer's only for utilitaIisu reasons
and that our real intellectual life is
fed by the great dead writer's. But
our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the intellectual
life even Of most educated persons,
and certainly of the mass Of the popu
iation, is fed chiefly by the writer's Of
our own time. Let us hope that the
great writer's of the past do set the
standards whereby a few judge the

this be true, it is still true also that
