A RED rose, while ever thing of

horizon, he could not understand the

stranded automobile beside his mas

his palm.
John Valiant lifted his hand to
stroke the shapely head, then drew 1t
back with an exclamation. A thorn
had pricked his thumb. He looked
down and saw the draggled flower

DEOPLE'S
L ROSTRUM
Blames City for DrowninRs

DInutcb Ntty DEbWHthkbs
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir:-It seems to me that the
majority of your readers, when scan
ming the paper, regard the casual item
of a boy drowned in the Morris canal
with little interest. The knife thrust
strikes home only when it is your own
child. Who is to blame? The heated
boy, who seeks to cool off on a boiling
day or the indulgent policeman who,
idly passing by. remarks that he once
knew what 1t was to be boy?
Is it the city fathers, who have gen.
erously allowed these poor children
the use of the dirty canal in gambol-
ing to their death? Is 1t necessary
for some children to use the canal as
their only bath-house for the sum-
mer? What a shame for the city of
Newark if that is all they have to
offer to their young people. The dirty
waters of the Morris canal for a bath
in a hot day! And are the children to
be blamed for using that means to
cool off, II the city provides none for
them, or at least not enough for all?
Statistics and researches are not
necessary to prove how many chill
dren use the canal on a hot day. Let
any citizen walk through Norfolk
street, Plane street or any of the
streets where the canal intersects and
he can see for himself. Let Newark
take pride in the good use the canal
is being put to, but let it also realize
that 1t ought to provide guardians to
look after these small children.
Every boy that Is drowned in the
Morris canal is a blot against our
city. Mark down the crime as one
earned by the authorities. They are
to blame. Nowadays 1t requires a
wholesale extinction of life to fight
for a reform. What matters the occa-
sional drowning of a boy or two in
the Morris canal. They had no bust
ness to be there" someone will say
Who was there to direct them about
their business? The majesty of the
law was minding it's own.
Shifting the blame will do no good
The child is not to be blamed. 1t is
the city authorities. If the canal must
be used for bathing purposes, why moi
give the children sufficient protection
If there Is no need to use the canal
why are the children allowed to drown
in it? Respectfully yours,
SAMUEL GOLDBERG.

WILSON, BRYAN SPHINx-KIk
BY r. q. WHLNEN
Star stan Correspondent.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 5.

Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.
These be bad days for writer's who
try to fathom the intents and pur-
poses of the administration in mat
tiers diplomatic and otherwise. The
traditional Sphinx has nothing on
President Wilson for keeping a Sc
cret and William Jennings Bryan,
secretary of state, might have taught
the Sphinx her trade of maintaining
silence on most subjects.
The band of reporters and corre-
spondents who have to go to the
White House and state department
to dig out news, and to find excuse
for writing columns a day on the
Mexican and other situations, are
worn to a FRAGILE with the strain of
trying to find meanings in the tone
of voice in which Mr.. Bryan wishes
them good-morning. It's about all
they have on which to build theories
or speculations as to what may hap
pen from one edition to the next.
Sees Them Twice n Week.
President Wilson sees the corre-
spondents, in a body-a hundred or
more of them-twice week. The
President stands behind his desk and
the newsmen gather in a semi-circle
In front of him. For a half-hour they
fence and parry. If the President
has a piece of news to give out he
tells 1t frankly. For the rest the
correspondents might as well be In
Hoboken.
Last week, for instance, 1t was gen.
orally believed that Mexican affairs
were close to a serious crisis. Sem
ators and foreign diplomats were dis
cussing the situation rather freely.
Are you considering asking other
Central American countries to me-
date In Mexico?" the President was
asked.
THAT has been suggested" he ad-
mitted.
"And 1t is being considered?"
"Oh, yes; it's one of a great num-
Der of suggestions that have been
made and are being considered"
countered the President with a smile.
A Mastery Fencer.
The President is a master in the
art of fencing. He seems to enjoy
the game of parrying wits with the
semi-weekly conferences mostly
amount to.
Somewhere in the presidential con-
stitution is plan for controlling the
trusts or solving the trust problem.
The President admitted 1t at one of
these recent conferences with the
writer's.
Have you a plan for trust legisla-
tionY' he was asked.
"Oh, yes" he frankly admitted.
What is it?" asked somebody.
Don't you think it's a little pre-
mature to discuss 1t now?" he re-
torted
Judging from the expressions on
the faces of the correspondents they
didn't think 1t was premature, but
the President did, and that settled it.
News is news nowadays. especially
at the White House. but the only
news there is what the President is
going to do and there isn't any news
until he gets ready to announce 1t.

THE Dean of American Letters
that Is what William Dean How
ellis Is called. He is and has been for
half a century the literary leader of
America. And we'll he deserves the
title! James Russell Lowell said of
him that he lis one of the chief hon.
ors of our literature" He has never
written a bad sentence, never struck a
false note. He is the leading repre-
sentative of the realistic school of
American fiction.
William Dean Howells might with
truth be called "self-made man of
letters" He was born at Martin
Ferry, o., on March 1, 1887. His
father, William Cooper Howells, was
printer and editor, whose library
was large and well chosen for that
time. II was in this library that the
future novelist picked up most of his

education. AS usual, in small
country town, the regular schooling
consisted only of the three Rs" but
Howells was an omnivorous reader.
He particularly enjoyed poetry. 1t is
said that even as a small boy
he wrote verse, setting 1t into type
himself. Whether this was ever
printed Is not known; but surely some
space In his fathers newspaper must
have been found for these productions
of his juvenile pen.
In 1851 the family fortunes met with
disaster, and Howells went to work as
compositor on the Ohio State Journal
at a salary of four dollars a week.

HowelfS first published work ap.
peared in 1850. THE Poems of Two
Friends" were written with John j
/ Piatt. He began to contribute to the
Atlantic Monthly, then just founded
about this time also. A campaign
biography of Abraham Lincoln was
written by him In 1860. For this he
was appointed consul at Venice, where
ne remained until 1866. There he stud
led the Italian language and litera-
| ture, and broadened his education
considerably.
On his return to the United States
| he wrotefor the New York Tribune

| 1866 he became assistant editor of
the Atlantic Monthly, becoming edi-
| tor six years later. He was a model

For awhile he contributed to Har-

Mr.. Howells has received many
honorary degrees. Harvard and
Yale have both conferred on him the
degree of Master of Arts, while he
has received the degree of Doctor of
Letters from Yale, oxford, Columbia
and Princeton, and the degree of
Doctor of Laws from Adelbert Col
lege. In 1909 he was elected presi-
dent of the American Academy of

Howells is a great realist and a.
perfect artist in words. He was once
asked If he never lost himself in his
work and was carried away by what
he was writing
Never" he answered. 'The es-
sence of achievement is to keep out
side, to be entirely dispassionate. as
sculptor must be, molding his
clay"
And indeed of all American writers
Howells comes the nearest to sue

sci, as Is usual in similar cases. He
felt the mystery more in the hubbub
and restless turmoil of the day than
in the nights silence and inactivity.
He was glad when the stroke of six
gave him an excuse to leave the room.
At half past six he found the jani-
tor. He was, to all appearance, in a
state of great excitement and he
spoke very fast
Il won't stay another night in that

But your moving out after one

awkwardly. "There1l be talk and

But let or no let, I'm going front into
