Literature of
Yesterday and Today.

From an exchange we learn that the
year 1740 gave to English readers only
one published volume of fiction. It
was called Pamela" written by Samuel
Richardson and was published by in
stallments.
In the year 1909 there were printed
approximately 5000 novels which were
thrust upon helpless public-a pub
lie that speaks only English, too, ex-
cept when company comes.
The record of 174O is rather small,
but there is no question that the
novel publishing record of 1909 is too
great in view of the class of reading
matter handed out. True the demand
of the majority was met, but therein
lies the trouble. The average reader
Of today wants something light which
will serve to relax his mind after the
strain of the days rush. We fear that
too many Of us don't like to be made
to think, but prefer to be entertained
for the moment.
Some critics have been Charitable
enough to say that the demand for
heavier" matter is as robust as ever,
but that we haven't the talent to sup
ply this demand That, too. may he,

nevertheless. a fact thai the classics

allowed to lie unmoIestcd and dusty
on the library shelf, while the cheaper
gush Of the twentieth century has The
red bindings worn thin from use.
The whole truth :, that we of this
age are too busy making money to Law
away in the recesses OF our minds the
golden gems and rich stores Of know

from the old classics. Anothe- truth
is. that our present day authors have
caught the spirit Of the occasion, as il
were. ard are displaying a finer bust

The old writer's whose pen products

burning truths from an aItruisti,
heart, writing with an arm that

not only of the fertility of the soil

crop after crop all through the year

which we are blessed, and which ap-

these parts to pass their winter at

WHAT TIE PEOPLE
THINK OF COMMITTEE
Tampa Times.


A yeTv correct estimate of what the
papers and people of Florida think OF
the action of the democratic executive
committee and it's action in removing
from the list of offices to be voted for
in the primary the circuit judges and
the state attorneys can be formed by
reading the symposium printed on an
other page of the Times today Large
and emphatic as is the expression OF
sentiment, it is but the collection from
two days exchange mail. Much SINH
lar matter has been published from
day to day. Altogether it is made per-
fectly plain that the action Of the
committee is almost unanimously dis
approved, and the press is entirely
outspOken.
1t is clearly shown that the COM
mittee violated the party law which
was the utterance Of the last conven-
ton held in the state TO the effect
that nominations for all Offices
should be made by primary election.
The committee had neither right nor
excuse to cut out single one. There
is more emphatic note of - revolt
from Escambia county than anywhere
else as yet. 1t is quite probable that
the VI IudL VIII
place the names of these offices on the
primary tickets and count the votes
cast for candidates and forward the
returns in the usual way. 1t will then
be up to the governor to act upon the
recommendation Of the voters. And
it is safe to say the aspirants for the
places will seek such an endorsement
at the primary polls.
The committee has raised a great
deal more of a muddle than was an.
ticipated by the men who engineered
it's action. It is remembered that ii
was by the most trivial majOria that
the action of eliminating certain offices
was carried. We have nowhere seen
q statement of the vote by members
or how many of the alternatives weS
cast by proxies. Such information &C
this should not have been withheld
from the voters. 1t might almost be
said that the meeting of the commit
tee was held in an atmosphere thai
favored the course Of procedure thai
has been so thoroughly condemned
and diacredited by the press Of thl
state. It has been understood for
some time that an anti-primary senti
ment was being sedu!OuSly nuTsed By
politicians of the state and it should
| have been equally apparent TO then
that their oyertures were regarded
with distaste and displeasure by the
great majority Of the party press anC
voters.

Senator Hepburn
Howls Once Again.

Senator Hepburn has had another
hemorrhage of the head. This time
close on the heels of the Jefferson
Davis episode some weeks ago.
Brother Heyburn's ailment seems to
. be chronic. He ought to take some
thing for 1t. He is certainly in bad
shape and unless he gets relief, say
from Dr. Voter, we shall despair OF
him. Public life by no means agrees
with the fellow from the Idaho hills.
Monday he Haunted the pink and
dripping shirt in the senate chamber,
making all of his hearers squirm from
disgust, the cause of his second attack
of that which has symptoms of hydro
phobia being the proposition of loan
ing the United States tents to the Con-
federate veterans on the occasion Of
the annual reunion at Mobile this year.
He spumed forth the mealy product
OF his sappy head and dwarfed heart
for an hour, the dispatches tell us.
Other senators, Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, sat restlessly through the
feverish onIpour OF empty words.
When the question was put to vote,
the resolution was adopted, the only
dissenting and husky voice being that
OF Hepburn. He could hardly have
been expected to vote yea" under
the circumstances. Curiously, though
pleasantly enough, Senator Borah, also
of Idaho, was the first to cast his vote,
which of course went in favor Of the
resolution.
When Heyburn finished, shook his
feathery gorrd, looked around with an
affected dignity and then sat down.
Senator John H. Bankhead of Ala
bama arose and said softly, and quite
appropriately:
81 hope the senator feels better now.
and I move that we take a vote"
The vote was Immediately taken, the
Idaho mans effusion not being deemed
worthy Of a reply.
His fellow senators disposed of the
matter in quite the proper way. Their
unruffled poise and complete silence
contained more irony than would vol
umes Of vitriolic retort
Hepburn felt stung when during the
course of his remarks Senator JEFF
Davis inquired of him If the senator
fought in the war"
II was too young" was the reply.
Perhaps therein lies one reason why
Heyburn is unable to keep his temper

LESSON IN CRIPPEN'S ARREST

1t is said that there is Joy in
heaven over the repentance of the
guilty. This is not the case in this
world OF men and women. The Joy
here, is over the conviction of the
guilty. This world is not heaven
however. and men and women lack
a million moral miles of being an.
gels.
There is one lesson in the arrest OF
|Crippen which appeals to every one
who has a sense of justice about
them.
The Inspector making the arrest
asked no question Of either defend,

lcence. He merely informed them
