SLIGHT CHANGE IN PUBLISHING
BUSINESS.

What Is the worst business In the
world General lOok publishing, con

the founders OF Moffat. Yard s. Co, III

BY many Of those engaged in ii to de-

critter:' Mr.. Yards revelations are
charilingly frank, and we are cured
OF the illusion that the best sellers
line his pockets With profits. The
Publishers Weekly, it seems, fully
shares Mr.. Yards pcssimistic conclu-
sion. General book publishins, as
distinguished from substitution book

specialized modern businesses-is lit

modern publisher, who sits at his desk
discussing with d group of subordi-
mates the selling chances of n manu-
script which has been read by all OF
them, deals with precisely the same
problems in much the same way as
the printer Of a century ago who
faVeiy consulted his foreman as to
the chances OF making fifty pounds

DECADENCE IN ART AND LITER.
iTURE.

We hear SO much about ~decadcnCe
IL art and literature. n Yet no two
physicians seem to agree on a proper
diagnosis of this mysterious disease.
AS | see it. there are two kinds OF dc
cadence: one natural and beneficial:
the other wholly negative and de-
structivc. The former reduces the art
IDEAL of the moment to its eXtrcusa
consequences, thereby preparing the
way for its greater and more Nti
successor. 1t is indirectly construct
i've by destroying what has outllvrd
It's period of validity and value. II is
in reality transitory rather than deca-
dent. The second form is truly d"Ca-
dent because essentially l~ife-denying.
And it consists not only In the accept
ance of ennui, OF everything 1utlllty.
as an integral part Of life. but in the
Wanting of this acceptance as a mark
of spiritual superiority.
Leaving this only genuine form Of
d~ecadence aside. it nay be asserted
that even those periods which seem
most barren have their use and jus
t~ificatlOn as Well as their logical y
p!anation. AT certain times the work
to be done must needs be destructive
rather than constructive, for art and
literature have also other autunlnal
and Verna1 seasons, their moments Of
harvest and of sowing. The character
Of the work cannot fail to be intiu-
| enced by this fact.
The unWillingneSS of the human
mind to accept leaps. no less than
the inability Of life to make leaps =
Notwithstanding all appearances to
the cnntrary-neCeSSitate the gradual
preparation of any forward move.
i:ttorc a new ideal can lie set up the
older one must be shaken from its
throne-a task that is not accom-
ItilShcd quickly or without cKpendi-
tGrc CT much precious energy. This
task of undermining the doomed ideat
is commonly performed by those who
remain orthodox rather than by the
heretics that herald the coming new.
md the task consists largely in the
overzealous reduction Of yesterdays
