Fifty-Ccnt Novels.

A prominent British publisher on a
visit to the United States says that if
the 2-shilling or 50-cent novel now
about to be launched on large scale
in Great Britain is a success, the door
will be closed to new authors, even to
those of genius. He thinks that the
narrow margin of profit will keep the
publisher from taking chance with
an unknown man.
The fear is groundless. The 50-cent
novel has already had several trials in
this country, and in every instance it
has been a complete failure. Books of
established reputation which are out Of
copyright, hence with no royalty to be
paid to the author. with no expense
for advertising, and in many cases
from old plates, can be made and
put on the market at a half dollar If
they are sold in great quantities. But
it is impossible to maintain the pro-
duction of new books at that price.
Nor will the public ever be satisfied
with an exclusive diet of the classics.
It is not desirable that it should. One
cannot look backward forever, and to
read old books only creates a closed
mind. The Victorians lived in their
own age. and so must we in ours.
It has been proved also that cheap
reprints OF old books do not prevent the
Publication of new ones. Great Britain
has been flooded with editions of the
classics at extremely low prices New
ertheless, she issued nearly 1000 new
novels, mostly at shillings. last year
The same tale can be, told by this
country.-New York World.

ECONOMY of Wortis.

I heard a little tale yesterday of a
woman who would be an uplifter. Her
efforts are not large, but she tries to
make them certain of results. 1t came
about that she happened to hear two

cussing the merits of grand opera.

an who would, among her other uplift-
ings, have every human being speak
correct English, but she said no word
of protest just then.
Not ten minutes passed, however,
before she heard the odious words
again. The other girl was talking of
the wife of her friend.

And this was the straw which made
the cameps back collapse. The wom-
an who has uplift designs made speech
with the two girls.
There are other adjectives than
SWELL" she said, sweetly. The two
girls understood for they were of the

AS TO VACATIONS

HELP FOR rMMIGRANTs.

One of the great political benevo-
lences Of the late Baron de Hirsch, of
Paris, was his gift of $12.0o0,O00 to be
used in enlightening foreigners coming
to the United States. The fund has
been under the contrib of the Educa-
tional Alliance of New York, of which
Isidor Straus is president and Dr.
Henry F1eischman administrator One
of their schools, which has been main
tanned for 20 years. and which has
given instruction in the English Ian
guage and American history to hun
dreds upon hundreds of Russian Jews
who arrived at Ellis Island strangers In
a strange land, but have found the
door of opportunity to them in Amer
lea, graduated its last class the other
day, and is now a thing OF the past.
The money which has been used to
carry it on will be employed in other
work of the alliance
There Is a sufficient economic reason
for the abandonment of this school. It
is that the work it has accomplished,
and formed in equally good style, is
now performed in equally good style in
common schools conducted by the city
of \ wv York. and freely open to the
public.
1t is interesting to know that the
New York public school system has
found itself able to take groups of new
corners from southern Europe, ignorant
of the English language, and turn them
forth in a few months equipped with a
good working knowledge of English
and able to make their way. The pub
lie schools have been greatly helped by
the example which was set in the
Baron de Hirsch school that has now
passed into Observation-Disclosures Wis

NO MUZZLE FOR THE PRESS.

Ia elk of good judgment when he asked
the court for an order enjoining the
press from cricisinG the four men who
if this attorney actually believes in the
innocence OF his client. he was not war
ranted in making such motion and the
court did a comsnendable thing in sum-
1narily overruling 1t.
1t is not for courts to abridge the
right of free speech Or free press in
this country where those rights are or
ganic and where they have stood since
tie foundation Of the republic as one
of the greatest restraining Influences in
our national and civic life. Good men
and righteous causes do not suffer, as
a rule, and have little to fear from the
searchlight of publicity and in such
cases az. this one. where the accused
is not acquitted, but merely escapes on
technical grounds in the first trial, it
would help nothing to muzzle the press.
There are ample legal restrictions upon
the newspapers for the protection of
innocent parties, or parties charged and
not proven guilty of crime, so that for
Mr.. Browne or the four men who re-
fused to accredit the evidence of his al
legged guilt there is remedy provided

The first thing to do. if you would

abuse the mayor. The New York
american Is a very successful paper
and II abuses the mayor from the day
OF ms inaugural until the day of his

the American abuses him as regularly
and bitterly as it abused the worst
mayor the city ever had. The people

HOW TO STOP 1T.
The big fight is over as you doubt
less know. 1t was fierce and not a
pleasant spectacle for those who jour-
neyed several thousand miles and
paid big sum of money for the fun
of witnessing. 1t was characterized
fact that one side had nearly all the
money, an amount unheard of would
have been wagered. The question is,
Is prize fighting a twentieth century
science or a relic of barbarism? While
1t may not be the latter entirely, 1t is
more nearly that than the former and
so long as people will put UP the
money to make such things possible
they will continue. The blame is not
upon the weak humans who are the
principals in the matter. They seek q
livelihood by this means, and until the
livelihood feature is extracted we will
have prize fights. 1t is up to the peo-
pie to lose interest in the same and 1t
will cease to be.--Salina Union.
