Appeal for Non-Publicity.
A singular appeal to the press. to con-
ceal from an interested public the details
of the Barrie troubles, is signed by ten
of the playwright's friends, all of them
distinguished by birth or accomplishment
These are Lord Esher. Henry James
George Alexander. A. Z. w. Mason, Will
liam Archer, Arthur Pinero, Edmund
Gosse. Beerbohm Tree, Maurice Hewlett
and Fl. G. Wells.
The appeal reads:
The divorce suit of Barrie agt Barrie
and Canaan is down for hearing at the
NicnaelmaS term. The plaintiff in the
suit was in early life a distinguished jour-
nalst. More recently his work in fiction
and the drama has given pleasure OF
high order to hundreds of thousands of
readers and spectators Whereversthe Eng
i:sh language is spoken He is man for
whom the inevitable pain of these pro-
ceedings would be greatly increased by
publicity.
Therefore, it is hoped that the press. as
mark of respect and gratitude to a
writer of genius, will unite in abstaining
from any mention Of the case beyond the
briefest report of the hearing. The suit
is undefended, and, apart from the emil
hence Of the plaintiff, raises no question
of the slightest public interest.

the wall. 1T stood the attack. But
for that wall the calamity of 1900 would
have been repeated. The enterprise of
the community was rewarded, and to-
day everyone must admit that the
money borrowed for defense against
the seq was well spent. @
"a But Galveston did more than borrow
money and build a wall. 1t elected n
city government consisting of compe
tent and honest business men to spend
the money borrowed, and to guarantee
that there would be no graft, no poll
tics in the disbursement Of tho peo-
PIES money. The citizens of Galveston
knew that the millions they must bor-
row would not be safe in the hands
of common party bosses overwhelming
for an opportunity OF enrtching them
selves and their creatures at the ex-
spense of the public. They knew that
they had to take some measure of pro-
lection, not only against the all-de-
youring waves but against the greedy
grafters who charge two prices for all
public work And so they adopted
what has been known as the Galveston
form OF government They rose to the
occasion. They abolished the whole
system of city government, turned eve

were compelled, by public opinion, to

within the limits of their responsibility.
That government has been vindicated
in the work it has done and which has

The Tribune now comes out with the
story of the wrongdoing Of a Salt Lake
man IN abandoning q faithful wife and
fnmily and leading a young, estimable
lady astray. Rumor has been busy for
some time past with this additional,
sad evidence OF human frailty, but none
OF the papers has cared to give publici-
l5ty to it. They have waited for the re-
suits OF an investigation that should
disclose the facts.
Nothing need be said, however, about
the Tribune rushing into print With a
story OF that kind. To do so is perfect
Unnatural to that paper. But we must
