tells a curious story involving the name of the
great novelist. Some time after Dickens died
Lucy attended seance of table turning and.
in conversation spelt out with raps on the
table, the dead man told him TO call on his son
Charles, then editing Household Words" With
the suggestion came the assurance that the
younger Dickens would be found in friendly
mood Lucy put the matter to the test, ne was
cordially received, and for the article which he
commissioned to write for Household
Words he received "a prodigiOusly handsome
check" By dnt of writing a good article on
the Albert Memorial. which surely must have
been feat of magic, he earned an appointment
to the staff of the Daily News" Ultimately he
became the editor of that paper. In his time he
has also been offered the editorship of Punch"
which he considers the blue ribbon of British
journalism But to relate all of the engage
ments that Mr.. Lucy has filled would be to draw
up too long catalogue. We contemplate the
heroic list with amazement and pass on to the
miscellaneous recOIlectiOns which make this
volume diverting.

the vivid portrait Of him painted by Mr.. Sar-
gent, these pages would still enable to realize
his traits. Writing largely about the notable
men and events of his time he nevertheless so
puts himself into his every line that this is
about Illuminating autobiography could
be desired. The authors whole life has been de
voted to the pen and to politics. He dedicates
the record 10 "Whitelaw Reid. journalist and
statesman"
Mr.. Lucy came into the world with two gifts
that may well have made his fortune-a sense of
humOr and a capacity for hard work Though
making allowances for the condensation essen
tial to his narrative, expedient which in
effect is always bound to bring many tasks to-
gether, one is still at a loss to understand how
this busy writer could have kept quite busy
without repeatedly breaking down. The only
rational hypothesis is that he has Il genius for
swift composition, a sound constitution and a
positive enjoyment in carrying burdens. For
thirty-siX years he has been active in the Press
Gallery of the House Of Commons. During that
period his comments on Parliamentary proceed
ingS have appeared in London and provincial
dailies, in weekly periodicals and in monthly
magazines and when he has not been eXer-
cising the functions of Toby NJ. p" for
Punch" or otherwise dealing with politics in
print, he has been going up AMI down the world
Iecturing amusing himself. He has known
terms of the pleasantest intimacy UnnUmbered
celebrities. He has had a fun life and he has
delighted in it. That last fact is made clear on
every page of this book. He was light hearted
in his boyhood. when he spent several years in
the hide and valOnia business in Liverpool.
He hated the smell and loathed the touch of
hides. and almost worse. he says, was the valo-

since the initials H W. l." have appeared
often enough in columns to have become

The scientific" historian likes to believe that
there is only one way of writing history, but
mankind continues to sit at the feet of the mas
tcrs who are not afraid to humanize their books
The recent unveiling at Oxford Of a memorial to
J. r. Green has drawn from many quarters the
most cordial tributes to his Short History of
the English People" It is delightful to see from
these how firmly the fame of the book rests on
the authors feeling for the things that touch
the heart Of man The Spectator thus tries to
summarize the virtues Of Green
We should say, first, that he accepted no ones
point Of view but his own. Secondly
Green displayed the English national spirit work
ing through history. He was a great English
He loved England and believed
in England because she stood more
than any other country in the world for free

to teach men liberty. and he painted her Strug-

Lord MOrleys speech on Literature and
Journalism at the recent Press Conference in
London was full of common sense. He had, of
course, TO say something about style, but he re
allied that no one could make Z motion or move
IN amendment on that subject, and so he con-
fined himself to a single observation. He re
allied he said, that neither he nor his audience
could attain to the stature and the compass OF
the giants but he added, there is one thing We
can do, we can strive in our pursuit, in our cul-
tivation of the great, the noble and difficult art
OF writing: we can strive after at all events
the two moderate virtues of simplicity and di-
rectneSS." Abiding to the general attitude Of
the journalist he made a suggestion which was
received with much enjoyment. 1t was that
there should be inscribed in letters of gold upon
the walls of all editorial rooms the saying Of
Cromwell 10 i band of Presbyterian ministers:
MY brethren, l beseech yOu in the name of
Christ to think it possible that you may be mis-
taken" Best of all was Lord MOrleyS remark
OH the relation between literature and journal
ism. He INDUCED in no fiattering cant He
found very definite differences between Iitera-
ture and journalism. But he said, 1T is the
presence in the mind and among the talents of
the editor and his writer's, the presence Of lit
erary elements, which obviously makes the diff
ference between them and the juvenile news
monger." In other words, your true journalist
IS known by his sense of literature.

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE IN 1910.

Widespread interest among poll.
ticians has been aroused by an article
by William J. Bryan I'm the March
number OF Munsey's Magazine. entitled
THE Future Of the Democratic Party"
Mr.. Bryan in his paper carefully
analyses the political conditions OF the
present day, discussing the policies
Of his party az length.
1t IL more than possible-it is
even probable" he declares. that the
House Of Representatives to be elect.
ed in 1910 will be Democratic"
Sounding a word Of warning to Pres.
identelect Taft, he continues:
The President-elect cannot possibly
satisfy the expectations OF both ele-
ments Of the Republican party. With
a Republican Senate and a Republican
House controlled by what Mr.. Roose-
welt calls reactionaries. how can he
escape conflict either with the Repub-
llcan leaders or with the Republican
voters OF the Missouri Valley?"
In discussing the tendency toward
reform legislation, Mr.. Bryan says:
The Democratic party is in sym.
patty with the growing demand for
remedial legislation; IL is therefore
rowing with the tide, for the tide is
onward. Democrats, recognizing the
responsibility Of their position, and
strong In the confidence they feel in
the righteousness Of their cause, are
prepared to wage a winning fight
against an opposition already panic
stricken"
Influential Democrats declare Mr..
Bryan's article to be the most Inn
pOrtant political paper printed since
