EDITORS ARE easy MARKS" {"

There is no reason why a man pos
sessed of a typewriter and the ability
to operate it should be out of work
in this city Old magazines may be
purchased in any second hand book
shop, stories may be copied with no
mental exertion, except to change
names and titles, and the "easy
marks" who preside over the editorial
departments Of some Of the New
York magazines will do the rest.
Those who read the current period
icals are aware that this method Of
earning a living is extensively prac-
tised, else the editors themselves are
arrant fakirs.
Numerous examples of literary
piracy are contained in the recent
numbers of popular magazines. One
of the Shorty McCabe" stories. by
Sewall Ford, is reprinted verbatim
in popular periodical, with the au-
thOrship attributed to one Swett
Another magazine has an article pur-
porting to have been written by a
noted war correspondent, which is in
large part an uncredlted translation
Of book by Spanish American writ
er.
A magazine which makes a special
ty Of humorous short stories, alleged
to be original, has in the last few
months published many yarns that
were probably familiar to Adam.
English magazines with little or no
circulation in the United States af-
ford a fruitful field for the literary
buccaneer. Scores of translations
from French German and other Eu-
ropean magazines, slightly changed to
suit the American taste, are annually
served up in the American maga-
zines.
To the man or woman possessed of
a little ingenuity and a minimum Of
honetsy, the occupation Of literary
pirate should be both pleasant and
profitable.

This lone man with drum march
Ing in the face of a needless, you
might say, hostile world, Is a symbol
of the splendid courage of the un-
known and unsung reformers of the
world, who carry forward their BAN
ners proclaiming principles which the
same needless world adopts and en-
joys after the pioneer who proclaimed
it is forgotten.
1t requires courage to stand up
alone for principle. 1t requires man
hood to espouse an unpopular cause.
Few men will get into the middle Of
the street and proclaim their princl-
plies. Most of us choose to follow the
crowd, say what the crowd says, do
as the crowd does. There are very,
very few men who will beat a drum
alone, in a cause which does not bear
the approval of the multitude.
And so the lone Salvation Army
captain stands as the symbol of a
splendid manhood, a superb citizen
ship, a fearless and defiant principle
which looks straight forward to
goal, and which is unawed by the jeers
of a cowardly world.
Three cheers for the lone man with
the drum

GOOD IN ALL.
the drum!

l do not know, cannot say.
What life will hold for me today;
But this l know, whate'er befall,
Some good lies wrapped within 1t all.
Though undiscerned by mortal mind,
This treasure is for me to find;
To rend the veil that clouds mine eyes
And view the blessing in disguise.
For toilsome ways will lead to rest,
And irksome tasks are often best;
In struggle. power and will are born
Who plucks the rose mdst grasp a
thorn.
The cross I lift in morning hours,
At evening may be hid in flowers;
The trial that before me lies
May prove a gate to paradise.
AS oaks grow sturdy in the blast,
So courage buffeted, noIds fast;
AS blossoms, crushed, breathe per-
fume rare.
Affliction drives the soul to prayer.
All things shall work for highest
good
To those who put their trust in God;
All things in heaven and earth are
mine
If but claim my right divine.
And so, it is my happines
To know in all things dwells success;
Its mystery is mine to prove,
Its keys are hope, and faith and love.

assessment must remain as II is until
time for the next quadrennial assess

aside from licenses, are easily de-
termined from past experience and
Incapable Of enlargement.
These fixed expenses include repairs

there would be deterioration. some
thing no business man would tolerate
in his own private affairs. These ex-
penses at this time also include a
floating debt, at the prevailing rate OF

business men would make haste TO
wipe out.
