Mark Twain's Home,

A dispatch published In Wednesdays
News Scimitar announces that a ooun-
try-wlde call is TO be made for funds
with which to purchase the home of
Mark Twain. at Hartford. Conn The
American people would cheerfuly Join
In paying respect to the memory of
Mark Twain, but they will hesitate 10
throw up their hands and submit TO
few shrowd spectators who would
profiteer In sentiment.
The purpose of the call is said to be
TO save" the home for future genera
tons. II was purchased not long ago
for $4,000, and the spectators are now
demanding 100000 for 1t, This bald
faced holdup should be treated with con-

ulators will In no way honor the mem
CRY of Mark Twain. During his life he
distributed, with a lavish hand, sun
shine and gladness, philosophy and wis
dom, and he deserves well OF the Amer
lean people. But II matters not what
house he was born in or what house he
died in, his fame is secure. and It will
live in HIS books--live longer than any
house, no matter how much 1t may be
Saved"
This attempt at profiteering should
be rebuked. One can imagine with what
contempt Mark Twain would regard It
were he alive. Mark Twain belongs to
the American people. and they are not
likely TO encourage anyone who seeks
