\ PEDDLER OF OPINION

The name Alfred Henry Lewis once guaran-
teed that what written under it would be
read by the American people, The man com
bined ideas with style. They were not always
original ideas, and the style not always pleas
ing. His thought, however, was bold the ex-
preston of the thought was fearless and direct
Who, lately, has heard of Alfred Henry Lewis {.
What does he suggest when, as now and then
happens, he again shows a head above the OBJ
security in which he has sunk Nothing, except
as there may come thought of pity for the
thing he once was in the light of the thing he
is. It is like meeting human derelict that one
remembers in the days of youth before ship
wreck came, this wreck of a man who once had
influence, who once carried conviction, who was
once worth while
50 For Alfred Henry Lewis made merchandise
of his mind. He measured his briiances as so
much cloth, selling to who would buy fitting his
stuff TO its wearer rummaging the shelves of
his mental store house in order that he might
please client. Having made name, he sold it.
Having enlisted in the cause of the people, he
attempted to bargain the influence he had gained
to those arraved against the people. Nothing
that anyone wished written was Alfred Henry
Lewis too proud to write Nothing that he had
ever once written shamed him against writing the
other thing. The one name that fits his case
is that name which is applied to the woman who,
having nothing else to sell, sells her soul, only
TO discover too late thar there is no one to buy.
Having made name and sold il, Lewis speedily
discovered that one wished any more TO pur-
chase so worthless a thing
So Lewis, after having been the tool of monop-
oily, the apologist for insurance frauds, the paid
advertisement writer for all those interests which
he gained fame by attacking, now comes back to
speak for the people. Il is a question whether
the fact suggests more Of disgust or ridicule.
But we find him saying:

Not badly said. There is the ghost there of
the old style. The faker remembers his tricks.
But how futile it is, how worthless and how i'm
potent. Who cares what Alfred Henry Lewis

anything else He has proved himself incapable

j. FIsTICUFFs AND LITERATURE.

Noting the fact that the recent mill at Reno
was reported by number of men who have
gained contemporary fame writers of fiction,
among them Jack London and Rex Reach the
81. Louis Times is forced to the conclusion that
the profession of writing Is not what il once was
and asks ''What, for instance, would the Eng
Hsh public have thought if Charles Dickens had
consented to report a ring combator Thackerv
or any other writer who represents English let

How would such proposition have
struck the writers in the Cnied States

ably delicious is the thought of asso-

Messrs. Howells and James are still

We can answer some of these queries off

keeping with the tradition of men who write, as
opposed to the work they produce. AS to how
such proposition would have struck the writers
of the United States a score of years ago, it may
be regretfully stated that, had the price then
