cording to the Washington dispatches
the railway brotherhoods are even
now making preparations for just
such n remorseless war upon society.
But why should not the dire ca.
lamity be averted then as 1t has been
now? If the legislative branch of
the Government can be terrified by
threats into writing laws into the
statute books. why should not the ju-
dicial branch on its part he compelled

partment Of this interesting publ
cation is before us, with n list of two
dozen magazines and their present
individual needs.
Many old fashioned periodicals still
call for tales of love. Most editors
do not say so. knowing that pens will
drift that way ~instinctiyely. Tn"
novel Of mystery is in demand. The
author who can find an interesting
nan (harmlcss or slnister) neatly
done to death under battling circum-
stances may go to 1t for n hundred
thousand words. One magazine cries
for II detective story Of eighty thou
sand. Another specifies that the CEN
trail character In the mystery story
shall he n woman. Women not only
are people, but magazine buyers. One
editor excludes stories with ian ex.
clusively masculine appeal Another
Is more specific; he wants a story
that Is under 1850 words, that Is
not suggestive and that will interest
n woman" Still another, who prob
ably knows his readers, demands
love and adventure, with copious
dialogue and New York setting;
II. W. CHAMBERS please write.
Several publications buy the fiction
Of frailty. One pleads for "strong
seq interest; no objection to m I'M.
happy ending" This programme per-
mlts the author to follow the sly de-
tails with n moral ending. "I'ut,"
adds another, nothing Overdone or
vulgar" 4 third asks for "clcan sex
stories; possibly something that will

wide. One wants his fiction "about
married Or single persons" This
would seem to include n considerable
part of humanity. The other looks
"for just two thlngs-literary dis.
tinction and human interest,"" All fc.
ton, us viewed by the author, answers
these requirements.
One magazine begs for punch an.
other for atmosphere; and n third
will have a psychological or n society
turn, whichever the author happens
to have nearest TO hand.
Incidentally, the Bulletin explains
that there was n bit of an error In
the July number, in which n certain
monthly announced that It would like
to receive stories Of $4,000 words
with the II. c. Burnes touch" This
should have read $500 words, "with
the II. G. Bunncr touch" We fear
that the first and call would
attract the better goods. There is no
adjustment on a typewriter that will
bring the Bunner touch.

Champion, Runner Up and the Field.

The 1910 national tennis tourna-
ment was all that such a gentle joust
should be. The matches began with
the customary speculation on the rela-
tive merits of the veterans and the
new c%ontenders. As the programme
passed through the prelimlnaries Of
elimination and wore down toward
finals, 1t was seen that the old word
still holds true In athletic contests,

Do with 1t as love of democracy.
The French soldier served the
American cause gallantly in the field,
and perhaps still more yaluably by
his influence upon French sympathics.
There must have been something more
IN his personality and performance
than We read clear in history to nc.
count for the completeness Of his CON
quest Of American affection, and the
development Of his bright legend.
