The tmnrnvidont Author

The sad fate of the once popular aov-
elist, Ouida, who died recently in desti-
tute circumstances, is to be looked at
more In the light of a Renaissance
than as lesson. Ouida wrote several
best sellers" and is believed to have
earned $250,000 to 100000 by her pen.
That was years ago, when quarter of
million dollars, especially in Europe,
was counted in the swollen fortunes"
class. She used 1t all up in living, in
entertaining and In reckless giving for
charity.
One thing that the so called "com-
liberalization Of literature" has done
is the development of the provident
author. Mark Twain made big for
tune In his early days and lost it all in
legitimate business venture. But he
Is still able to joke over the loss of
$4,000 the while he has nearly double
that sum tied up in an involved trust
companys vaults. Men and women go
into the business of writing today to
make money. They have to work hard
for it, and they know its vH'"" 1t Is
no fairyand existence whc sats
are lettered and sold for bic,, and
If the wage is gold and plenty of it the
mind behind the successful pen knows
very well that there are competitors in
the field and that the vogue of today
may be the back number Of tomorrow
| Modern authors call their gains bust
ness gains, and they invest them with

gained by the pen Is dearly earned.
| The getting of it wears the bearings OF
mind and soul, and the getter of 1t
should husband every dollar with the

SchoOlhoY Rifle Practice.

If the plans of the national board
for the promotion Of rife practice and
the National Rife association meet
with Il approval of congress, great
impetus may be given to schoolboy
rife practice in the United States. The
shooting of the Annapolis cadets and
the navy team, which was composed
almost exclusively of young men, at
Annapolis, coupled with that of the
schoolboys at Creedmoor and Sea Girt
and on the miniature range at the re-
cent sportsmans show, has demon
strated that lads from sixteen years
old upward can he taught to handle the
military rifle with precision. At that
age most boys are enthusiastic about
guns and outdoor sport, and it Is pro-
posed to turn their attention toward
the use of the military rife with the
idea that as they grow older their en-
thusiasm in this direction will increase
and that on leaving the schools, col
lcges or universities they will join the
national guard or civilian rifle clubs
and thus continue the work.
The English government spends large
sums of money annually in encourag-
ing schoolboys' rife practice, and other
countries are showing interest In this
form Of primary training. The ma
tional board has recommended to the
secretary Of war that an item be IN
serted in the army appropriation bill
setting aside 100000 for the promo
ton of rifle practice in public schools,
colleges, universities and civilian rife
practice, including the cost of arms,
ammunition, prizes and the necessary
material and appliances therefor and
for the expenses of indoor and outdoor
competition among the students and
members attending or belonging to the
same and the travelling expenses and
pay of persons designated by the sec
rotary of war to superintend such In
structions and competition. These are
to be conducted In accordance with reg
ulatlons to be prescribed by the secre-
tary of war.

Lawrence's Flag.

considerable levity has marked the
discussion In some quarters OF the
nag of the United States frigate Ches.
apeake, which Captain Lawrence de-
Tended with his life in 1918 by fighting
against great odds the British frigate
shannon off Boston. The action was
one OF the historic ship duels of mod.
ern times. Any souvenir OF that fight
the view of which will make men and
women and boys and girls recall the
deeds Of Lawrence and his crew, is q
national prize, regardless of its history
meanwhile.
But this Lawrence flag is more thar
that. 1t Is rare souvenir of the de.
velopment Of Old Glory itself. 1t was
upon such flag that Francis Scott
Key saw the "broad stripes and bright
stars In the mornings dim light" that
led to his beautiful conception of our
national flag song. This flag had If
teen stripes and fifteen stars, one
NNAFN NAA 0AAS otdl luI blule sup
posedly, although there were In fact
seventeen states at the time of the
Chesapeake-Shann duel. The flag
designed by Washington had thirteen
stripes and thirteen stars. The rule
then was a star and a stripe for each
state. Now the rule Is a star for each
state and only thirteen stripes, as orig
inally designed to represent the thir~
teen colonies forming the Union when
the flag was adopted. In 1918 the thlr-
teen stripe regulation was again adopt
ed, and so the Lawrence flag is a
model which obtained only from 179A
to 1918. This covered the war of 1912,
with Its memories of Fort McHenry,
Old lronsides and Jackson's cotton
bales at New Orleans, as well as the
peaceful raising of the stars and stripes
over the French tricolor when the Lou
isiana Purchase was coded to this
country In 1903. Surely this is relic
to awaken patriotic interest and veneer
alton.

BRYAN THE MoNoPoLIST.

1t has been stated that Mr. Bryan
if elected would invite Mr.. Kern to
share the White House with him, and
it has also been stated that Mr. Bryan
would consider Mr. Kern member
of the cabinet and consult with him
upon such questions as he was liable TO
take up with his cabinet officers. All
this may be as true as it is interesting,
but Mr. Bryan's procedure on the
day OF Mr.. Kern's notification shows
that if he does have the opportunity
to allow Mr.. Kern to occupy the
White House, the latter would be
fortunate if he gets one corner of the
cellar.
Mr.. Bryan's action in going to In
dianapolis on August rs, when Mr..
Kern received his official notification,
and taking away the glory OF the day
that belonged to Mr.. Kern, alone was
the most contemplate piece of bust
ness that any public man has exer-
cised in a generation. Only week
before, Mr.. Sherman in his home
city had received the honor and the
triumph that his friends and neigh
bors for 100 miles around felt pleased
to bestow upon him-the day was his
the greatest day of his life. So it
should have been at Mr.. Kern's home
his neighbors and friends wanted to
do him honor and him alone on that |
day, but no, Mr.. Bryan must journey |
IRON Lincoln and see to it that Mr..
Kern got a very small slice OF the
pie, and that he himself was the cen
tral figure. That is the sort of man
the Democratic party has nominated i
again for President, and who, if elect
ed, would take no advice from any
body in his party or any faction of
his party. Never so clearly has the
true character of Mr.. Bryan come to
the surface as in that action. Never
was his selfshness so apparent, never
his tyrannical nature SO emphasized
Mr. Bryan is not only the leader of
the Democratic party, but is the
whole party itself, and everybody
else must bow dawn 10 him and serve
him whether they will or not, and
yet they say he can do no harm and
are his most humble subjects.
