and that ]. A. Delfelder is to succeed
Mondell as congressman. This comes

The Genteel Beggar.

Recently a man who lived like

the law after he had begged and
sQuandered 100000 or more. His was
an easier task than might be sup
posed. Nearly everybody is charitable

who aim to live by their wits discover
this and choose means TO the end
This man wrote begging letters.

pated. But It Is different where the
story comes from one who is decent in
appearance. Self respect seems to be
a badge Of worthiness. and one will
often give q dollar to a well dressed
liar moro cheerfuIly than a nickel to a
brazen faced tramp. Thus the genteel
beggar thrives. and his example, Is far
more pernicious than that Of his dow:

short session Of Congress.

Important legislation is seldom ex-
pected from congress In a short ses-
sion. The Sixtieth congress is not like
ly to differ from its predecessors in
this respect, although owing to the
presidents recommendations the SEIZED
ule may include questions sufficiently
urgent to occupy the attention up to
the last hour of March 3 next. Prob
lens Of labor and Of transportation
will not cease from troubling because
Of the passing of one bill or the defeat
Of many bills.
In view Of its origin and scope the
country life investigation will doubt
less arouse discussion and lead to ac-
ton. Following the usual course, how
ever, congress will be inclined to In
Vestigate on its own hook before pass
ing laws In advance OF the popular de-
mand. Signs in many directions indi-
cate that the note Of economy will be
sounded and retrenchment be made In
all appropriations which will admit of
pairing down.

Red Blood In Fiction.

Harper's Weekly recently sounded
reactionary note against the present
day demand among American readers
for novels of action. The editor de-
clares that sensibility is the great pos
session OF the truly modern novel in
contrast with the old novel Of action.
The argument sets forth that an act
in Itself Is nothing. 1t becomes some
thing only when thought interprets its
intent and effect. Yet We have often
been told of late that to depict life as
1t Is and as 1t might be is the highest
achievement Of fiction. Life is action.
Novelists Of today are not barred
from moralizlng on the side, but they
are asked to portray life that is within
range of the readers experience. This
makes the story readable anyway and
may make II helpful. Perhaps it would
be better for US all to think out our
acts and their probable effects before
hand. But we don't do 1t, and few Of
us can grasp characters in novels who
always "hew straight to the line"
Something in the blood impels our ac-
lions day by day, and the average
novel reader enjoys stories Of blood
compelled experiences and adventures
above all other kinds.
