Sir: II is small return the casual reader
can make at best for the wealth of such an
editorial as yours Of the 10th inst, "The End
Of an Illusion" but must give myself the
satisfaction OF expressing my thanks for this
bit of noble writing cast modestly into the
vortex fed so generously by the great dailes.

my people in California, where such writing
does not come save in the more dgnified

Mr.. Glynn's Exuberanee.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Glynn in his speech at the -
Louis convention, in discussing the prosper
ity Of the country, became SO carried away
with his dream that among his extravagsn'
statements he said: There Is not an idle ear
on our railroads or an idle ship at our dock',
This sounded very we'll in the convention hall
and looks very well in print, but the faen
are, according 10 the statements OF the Amer-
can Railroad Association. that on June
there were 67,5S8 idle cars.
Nj Glynn ought to check up his hgursa
before making his statements J. 4 ~

offered has been criticised in detail and
must be subjected to careful debate by
property owners and residents. But its
principle constitutes an unmistakable nd-

support and interest of many minds to
reach the best expression.

are not in use in the latter capacity at
the time that they carry munitions as

this proposition American writer's and
diplomats are all agreed.
Failure on the part of editorial writ

time that the transport Armenian was

was agreed by all diplomats was who'll

The mischief done during the past

that transports under direct charter

Although Dorcas, being eleven years
old, had undergone five ordeals of the
Valentine box, Mrs. Carter never was
able to understand why her daughter
came home each time without any
trophies of masculine alteration.
Sometimes Dorcas fancied her moth
er had been like Clara Jane. a freckled,
tomboy girl. When Clara Jane was

this year than usual. Genevieve, her
seatmate, gave her a star-shaped mis-

and Abby, whom she had helped for
two years in arithmetic. sent her a
string of red hearts, each one pierced
with silver arrow.

Miss Dorcas Carter" Tim was call

he pulled and tugged and, tearing
away part of the tissue paper drape-

most as wide and long as the valen-
tine box itself and which would have
made two of the one containing Cora
dell's pink violin.
Back at her seat she undid the
knotted string with trembling fingers.
Then she lifted the lid. The children
crowding about her desk were silent
at first in amazement and then, Miss
Stanton Joining them. they burst into
a chorus Of "ohs" and "ahs."
In bed of cotton lay a sparkling
haart-shaped affair. Billows of pink
chiffon were draped about it and out
side of this were paper lace ruffles. At
one side was sheath of celluloid ar

the dismissal bell rang children crowd

as she stood hesitatingly trying to de-
