Why Cheap Fiction is Popular

Novels which deal with the plain
lives of the plain people are today
not nearly as popular Jas in the
time of Dickens and Thackeraxy
and the Brontes. The modern
reading public Graves the sensation
al high life novels of Chambers and
the impossible Arabian nights ro-
mances of McCutheop. Wells and
Bennett happen to be a fad just now
as was De Morgan for the time
but it is more than likely that those
who do wad through these realistic,
revelatory stories turn with rem ew-
ed relish to Randall Parrish and
Harold Wright
Why is this? AS matter of fact
people are not interested in life as
they live it. They can only feel the
keen joy of living when they trans
port themselves into ssome fairy
land of romance. They find their
own everyday r.utine dull and stu
pid.
What pity. The realistic novels
Of today far more than those of
Dickens and his day would, if they
read them understal dinghy reveal a
wealth OF romance, a multitude of
the most piquent problems in their
own lives anG in lives of those a.
bout them which would give new
thrill and zest to every hour Of the
day.
When people once understand how
intensely interesting and exciting
everyday life is they will dispise the

most democratic in situations the
world has ever seen. The interests
of the common people are approach

head of our democracy. And Will

American life and knows his patient

But Wilson is unfortunate in two
respects and will never become a

toward ever completer centerallza-

to regulation and proposes to resort
to the antiquated Sherman law nos
trum. In this respect He is hopeless

Then he is too tolerant and conclll-
atory. He will be able to discover
some good even 10 Clark and Under

a partizan and all of Wilson's habits
of thoughts forbid his stopping over.

away vehemently enough.
But IN the hearts OF his country

will occupy an enviable place.

The American Issue

There is only one Issue before the
American people today. All other
problems--tariff. trusts, taxation
are just the superficial phases of it.
We must bring about by legisla-
ton the more equal distribution of
wealth. Legislation has caused the
inequalities, has made them impossl-
BILE.
1t may not be necessary to re-
sort to Socialism.
The bests students of government
agree that natural monopolies should
be owned by the state. Ely and
Van Hise of our state lead the van.
Trusts must be strictly controlled
and their profits limited. The Sher-
man law which would split them up
proposes the reverse. 1t would lei
competition instead of the state con-
trcl the profits.
BY taxation the state will find it
possible to regulate the accumula-
ton of wealth almost at will. The
present income tax is really an ex-
pertinent. There are startling pos
sibilities in it. Then If the income
tax and other forms of taxation
have not been altogether effective
the Inheritance tax will be invoked
to bring about a final equitable dis
trlbution.
This could all be done under the
present sys EN- without necessita-
ting q revolution of the social order
such as Socialism proposes.
At least we are beginning to work
out our salvation along this line.

THAT SALARY INCREASE

THIS paper is a believer in
paying good salaries to it's coun-
ty officers but we think that the
county board overstepped itself
at it's annual meeting when it
voted to increase the salary of
the county judge from $500 to
$500 per year. Of course under
the old salary the county Judge
was allowed a deputy at $500
per year, making the total salary
for the Office $1,000, and under
the new rate of salary n will be
obliged to pay his own Deputy,
if he has one.
The work of the county Judge
is such that with deputy he is
not required to put in more than
one or two days week in order
to handle the business of his
Office. The present Judge VIM.
H. Irish knew nothing of the
proposed increase in the salary
of his Office until after it had
been passed by the board and
we understand that he has
stated that it is his opinion
that the salary is too high.
Just who was instrumental in
having this resolution passed by
the board we have been unable
to learn, but we do know that
the county board should recon
slider their action if it is not too
late.
If the salary of the county
judge is to stand Bayfield, county
will bear the distinction of pay
ing it's county judge more than
any other county in the state
according to the size of it's

If the Atlantic Were Lowered.
The pressure of water increases with
the depth. One mile down this pressure
is reckoned at more than ton to the
square inch-in other words, more than
1913 times the pressure of the atmos-
phere. The depth of the sea presents
some interesting considerations. If, 1t
is claimed by one authority. the Allan
tic ocean were lowered 1854 feet it
would be reduced to half its present
width. If 1t were lowered little more
than three miles the result would be
dry land all the way between New
foundland and Ireland. If the Medi'
terranean were lowered $50 feet Africa
would be joined to Italy and three sep
arate seas would remain.-Exchange.
