Writers Must Tickle Dull
intellectual Palate of
the Public.

Writers and speakers find it in
creasingly necessary to give attention
to forms of expression, and especially
to the introduction of a certain quail
ity of pungency that shall tickle peo-
pies intellectually into an acceptance
of what would otherwise seem to them
tasteless.
Their dulled intellectual palate de-
mands that truth shall be baited with
some succulent attraction that shall
seduce them into an unintentional in
terest in the truth, which the attrac-
tive allurements entertainingly dis
guise.
Newspaper reading has therefore
come to be largely limited to the has
ty glancing at headlines
This is what explains the increased
use which newspaper men make of
cartoons.
People who have to think in order
to understand a paragraph can read
a picture without thinking.
We are not criticising newspapers
any more than We are criticising the
devices to which speakers on the plat
form or in the pulpit find themselves
obliged to have recourse in order to
win their way to the mental nerveless-
ness of so many of those to whom they
are trying to bring a message.

whether by pen or by tongue, have got
to accommodate themselves to exist

We have to take people as we find

rs the American mind growing friV-
olous? Are we more indisposed
l than formerly to do careful and Sc
rious thinking, and less inclined
to prefer the sincere and searching
handling of current questions to a
treatment of them that is more light
and airy?
The inquiry is a practical one, for,
II 1t be the case that our inclinations
are tending toward a skimming Of the
surface of things, that will mean that
we are experiencing d Swallowing of
character, for character is measured
by the earnestness of ones thinking.
Men who cater to the intellectual
tastes of people are the ones best fit
ted to deal with the question just pro-
posed.
Colonel Harvey, who has had a long
editorial experience, touches this mat
ter in his farewell address to the read
ers of Harper's Weekly.
He says: would people read even
Mr.. Curtis scholarly leading articles
today? We doubt it. Looking over
the files the other day, we found no
less than twenty long editorials on
civil service reform in thirty success
sive isues, and very little else. They
were sound, cogent articles, and. of
course, admirably written, but how
would they take on the news stands
of this hurrying age? How many way
farers would buy them in preference to
some one of the great number of live
1y, entertaining and finely illustrated
magazines? Not many, we fear
Colonel Harvey's inquiry suggests,
what is probably the fact, that there
has developed the same change of
taste in this matter of literature as in
that of food, and that. whereas people
used to think more about the nutri-
tious quality of what they ate, and
less of its seasoning, their principal
regard Is now given to the condiments
and spices and less to the substantial
stuff into which the spices are put

One concludes at once that
the hog is an agency of sal
walton to the farm ers down
there.
A hundred thousand dol
lars Of hogs shipped from
there this season and a quar-
ter Of a million dollars
worth to be shipped next
year. That is a record for a
comparatively small COM
munity. 1t spells ready
money.
The farmers there, as at
many other points, have not
found hay raising a stable
business. A large crop OF
hay meant a low price and q
small crop meant what the
buyers, usually in combina.
ton, offered to pay. 1t was
not what could be called a
paying industry. So the
farmers went in for hogs, and
at once they found their hay
commanded a much better
price and found ready mar
ket. The hay in the hog
made it possible for them, as
one man stated, to- make 80
where they only made 81 be-
fore. That is a rather fat
increase. The hog did it.
