The Creative Impulse.

John Burroughs in The Atlantic:
The creative impulse does not itself
know the next step it will take or the
next form that will arise, any more
than the creative artist determines be-
~forehand all the thoughts and forms
his inventive genius will bring forth.
He has the impulse or the inspiration
to do a certain thing, to let himself so
in a certain direction, but just the pre-
else form his creation will take is as
unknown to him as to you and me.
Some stubbornness Or obduracy in his
material, or some accident OF time or
place, may. makes it quite different from
what he had hoped or vaguely plan
ned. He does not know what thought
or, incident or character he is looking
for till he has found it, till he has risen
above his mental horizon. So far as
he is spontaneous, just so far is the
world with which he deals plastic and
fluid and indeterminate and ready to
take any form his medium of expires
sion-words, colors, tones-affords
him. He may surprise himself, excel
himself; he has surrendered himself
to a power beyond the control of his
| will or knowledge.

MuItimilIionaire In American Novels.

Robert Herrick in The Yale Review:
The life of our rich, especially in the
great cities, has been much exploited
by the large tribe of journalistic nov
els. American life as illustrated in
popular commercial fiction, abounds
superabundantly in men servants, pri-
vate' cars, yachts. clubs. international
marriages, spectacular luxury and dis
play-all Of which is quite foreign to
the experience of the majority of read
ers and, we may suspect, to that of
the writer's themselves. Our luxury,
it seems to me, is the most unreal
thing about us as a people; in all the
fiux Of our social background the most
uncertain and ephemeral-the most
uncharacteristic, And yet u news
papers, magazines and novels are al
most insanely preoccupied with Amer
lean wealth. AS an economic phenom-
enon, evidence of a redundant vitality,
it is certainly marvellous. AS literary
material it has proved barren. The
figure of the captain of Industry
that self-made and badly-made hero
has been done to death in our novels
But 1 cannot remember d single multi
millionaire who has established him
self as a veritable person in all ou1
fiction.

incident repeated nightly furnishes an
indication of what is the matter with
politics in this town.
1.-THE idea that a wealthy criminal
cannot be sent to prison save by a
judicial accident appears to be in

In any big trial perhaps so per cent
of public sentiment is against the per-

course, but secretly. So it was with
Willet, with Hams, with Thaw, and
even the u~nspeakable Becker is re-
garded as a martyr by no slight per-
centage Of the populace.
This callousness of conscience or
the part Of the public is one of the
largest obstacles in the path of jus
tice, as every district attorney and
judge in the city understands. The
prisoner at the bar is looked on as ar
underdog fighting against odds. The
trial is looked on as a sporting pro-
position. If a man can murder o.

r NOT TO BLAME.

United States Treasurer John Burke,
formerly governor OF North Dakota
seems to have been the victim Of cir
cur1istances regarding the condition OF
the treasury. Some days ago The Fo-
rum published d story which appeared
in The Chicago Tribune and other
eastern papers in which it was stated
hat the affairs of the treasury were
in d sad muddle.
This evening The Forum publishes
a statement from Mr.. Burke. and also
one from another well known North
Dakotan, D. II. Macarthur, in which a
new, light is thrown on this matter.
The Forum is glad to give as wide
publicity to this explanation from
Treasurer Burke as it gave to the
story criticising his office, and it is
to be sincerely hoped that the public
ity given the matter will result IN
giving Mr.. Burke the additional clerks
which he declares to be necessary tc
properly handle the new and better
but moro complicated system inaugu-
rated by Mr. McVeagh.
Mr.. Macarthur in his note to The
Forum says the articles were prompted
by partisan motives. If SO there wa:
absolutely nothing of the sort in thu
attitude of The Forum in making then
public in North Dakota. These ar
ticles we're given wide publicity in th'
east and The Forum felt that because
of the fact that a North Dakotan wa
involved, the people of the state shoul'
be given a full account Of the charges
This was the sole motive in repub
fishing the matter from The Chicago
