Literary Currents and Eddies
Mr.. Gosse's Book Sheds Interesting Light
Upon Some Minor English Authors

eminently interesting men, even II they
did write second rate novels.
Mr.. Gosse possesses his share Of
personal and literary prejudices. His
condescending attitude toward Mr..
Siegfried Sassoon is somewhat irritat-
ing; and he is also a trihe unfair to
Mr.. Lytton Strachey. Despite his pro-
testations to the contrary. Mr.. Gosse
apparently retains certain sentimental
attachment to the Victorian age; and
Mr.. Strachey's iconoclastic method of
treating 1t in Eminent Victorians"
offends him more than he is willing to
admit. After rebuking Mr.. Strachey
for his levity on the momentous sub
ject of baptismal regeneration he adds,
with somewhat unnecessary heat and
sarcasm, that "Mr. Strachey has yet to
learn that questions of this kind are
taken seriously by serious people, and
that their emotion is both genuine and
deep"
But these little crotchets by no
means stamp Mr.. Gosse as AZ intellect
ual bigot and reactonary. He is en-
titled to grateful recollection for ths
battle which he waged, in company
with Mr.. Archer and few other far
seeing men, in behalf of Ibsen against
the solidly arrayed hosts of British
Philistia. And throughout his book
he is generously hospitable to new
authors and new ideas.
Effective literary criticism, despised
and condemned as 1t has been through
out the ages, demands rather unusual
combination Of mental qualities. In
Judging a work the critic must at once
possess a liberal fund Of knowledge
and q faculty for explaining keen
and vivid personal reactions. If he
over-emphasizes the first quality he
becomes a pedant; if he concentrates
his attention upon the latter he be-
comes a chatterbox. Mr.. Gosse is al
ways felicitous in striking the golden
mean.

TN THESE hectic days when mai
dens have no time for sentimental

dens have no time for sentimental
musings, when real and concrete
sufferings are borne stoically, it
is amusing to have picked up sec
ondhand 1880 copy of aurora Leigh"
full Of introspective and emotional
marginal notes.
The book is one those bright green,
atrociously-bound volumes, the cover
decorated with quill pens, laurels, flow
ers and irregular designs, which are
now found only in Sunday school IL
braries or stacked along q shelf In
front of a second hand book store,
marked down with old Bibles and
school books to 10 cents. On the
hylcaf is the name-Thea F. Clark.
All young girls at some time or
other, usually in their later teens, are
prone to keep diaries or make marginal
notes. The diaries are we'll taken care
of, but the book with marginal notes
very often finds its way to a second
hand book shop, and thence to the
hand of some fippant person who is
as unsympathetic to youthful soul-stir-
rings as ones own family.
We kept diaries until we found our
brothers reading them on dull after
noon and chuckling. Then came the
passionate impulse to make marginal
notes. Books Of poetry and adventure
were peppered with references and re-

desirable.

l<NO ONE Diversions Of . Man
Of Letters" (Scribners), Mr..
- Edmund Gosse's latest col


lection Of essays, Is apt to
create tho impression that American
critics do not read very much. It is
certainly rare to find, IN work of the
casual browsing type, such a wealth Of
erudition as Mr.. Gosse pours forth at
all times and upon all subjects:
And 1t must be said to the authors
credit that he carries his reading we'll; !;
he never succumbs to the intoxication
of scholarship to the point Of becom-
ing prosy and dull. He is more con-
cerned with men than with books; and
one of his best essays, entitled "Three
Experiments in Portraiture," define
ates three vigorous and interesting per-
sonalities-Lord Cromer, Lord Redes-
dale and Lady Dorothy Nevill, whose
memoirs have recently been published
in this country.
Mr.. Gosse does not attempt to ana
lyze, except incidentally, the great
tides of English literature; he devotes
himself rather to a consideration of
some Of its minor currents and eddies.
And out Of the dust which covers the
works Of many Of the authors whom he
discusses he unearths many facts Of
considerable literary and personal in
terest- So he traces the origin Of the
romantic movement in English litera-
ture to two brothers, Joseph and
Thomas Wharton. who pleaded for
greater Imaginative scope in poetry at
a time when English writer's were COM
pletely dominated by the classical ira
dition Of Pope and Addison. OF Joseph
Wharton he says:
HE was, so far as we can gather,
the earliest person In the modern
world Of Europe to observe what vain
sacrifices had been made by the clas-
sicists, and in particular by tho Eng
lish classicists, and as he walked en-
Enthusiastically In the forest he formed
q determination to reconquer the realm
Of lost beauty. The moment that this
instinct became purpose, we may say
that the great Romantic movement,
such as 1t has enlarged and dwindled
down to our own day, took its start"
The author displays q knack Tor
character reconstruction. His por-
traits Of the Brontas, and Of Catherine
Trotter, the first English woman play
wright, based upon their letters and
upon the Impressions Of their con-
temporaries, are almost as Nfelike and
convincing as his sketches Of the men
and women with whom he has been
personally acquainted. He also de-
scribes Disraeli and Bulwer-Lytton as

few belated newspaper workers.
Karsner's love and admiration for
his friend are unbounded. He feels
that Traubel "lived one of the fullest
and freest lives it is possible for man
to live on this EARTH" He is espe-
cially enthusiastic over Traubel's
broad humanity, his love for men Of all
kinds and conditions, and over his
sturdy moral and intellectual integrity
which never allowed him to compromise
his principles for the sake of pecuniary
gain. Horace Traubel unquestionably
did stand out like bright patch of
color against the drab conservative
background of Philadelphia life. And
it is impossible not to feel that his
death, last September, left the world
poorer by the loss of a warm heart
and a broad, vigorous mind.

No Scornful Family
But Miss Thea Clark evidently was
never interrupted by the derisive
grunts of a family lacking in senti-
ment. She was free to express her
self, and express herself she did In
reading this secondhand copy of eau
rora Leigh" we were more interested
in Thea than Aurora.
The handwriting, small and precise.
is the handwriting of a young woman
who is fonod of embre.dering and
given to laying by things for "hope
chest" 1t is not childish, yet we know
that Thea is very young from the wav
she underlines the love passages. And
there is naive comment on page 347
when Romney and Aurora are finallv
united after many tribulations. The
poems runs:
I'VE two sat together leaned that n,ph+
90 ciose, my very garments crept and
with strange electric life: and both nv
Grew red, then pale, with touches from
In which his breath was"
And Ihea-"I, never read these pass
ages but they thrill me. Why should
they? Is it prohecy? 2" Yes, she is
young. 80
Like most young women. Thea had a
family not given to sympathetic under
standlng of adolescent loneliness. At
the beginning of the poem there are
the lines, 'io

SPAWNING FISH FEW IN STREAMS
 SAYS GARFIELD
Secretary of Fish Commis- sion Reports Outlook for
 Future Discouraging.

From present indications, jud9-
 ing from the number of spawning salmon in the streams, the outlook for the future supply of fish is. very diScoura2ing and 1t only inpresses 'npon one the immediate need of de iormlning upon a plan for the main tcnance Of the salmon supply, said Charles D. Garfield, secretary of the Territorial Fish Commission, who has just returned to Juneau after inspecting the fish supply in the streams in Stevens Bay, Fredericks Sound, Rocky Pass, Sumner Straits, Wransell Narrows and the upper end of Clarence Sound
 The streams along the way, found especially devoid of spawning salmon. There was only the sem blance of former runs, and at the mouth of each stream we saw seine boats waiting to get the fish in the creeks after the tide went down.
 The canneries reported that the lisa were not running With the eX- ceptiCn of the George T. Myers can lltl dI Adi HccH WHICH udS llIdut. it's contract, I would say that the canneries in the district we covered have not over 30 per cent of their normal pack.
 "At Karheen, the cannery had packed 35,000 cases The Beau Clair Packing Company on Sumner Straits had only 10000 cases and the cannery at Shakan had 10000 cases. Both of the canneries at Wrangell were short The Peters burg Packing Company was said to have 45,000 cases and I was there oE Tuesday. It's normal pack is be tween 100, ,000 and 125, ,000 cases" Mr Garfield returned to Juneau yesterday after spending the last week Investigating the fish supply in the streams he covered. He made the trip on the Santa Rita with R. F. Robertson, J. E. Barragar and Capt William Dickinson.
