The ReoiUnl or Old Stuff

YWSHE recent publication Of Hamlin Gar
q lands novels as scomplete Works"
and the return of Mr. Garland from
Europe, which may be expected in
few weeks, recalls the fact that thirty years
ago Mr.. Garland was young rebel in Ameri-
can letters. He was doing something, the same
kind of agonizing at the chocolate eclair world
conceived by the American writer's Of to-day,
that Mencken and Sherwood Andersen and the
naturalists of our fiction are doing to-day.
Garland, coming fresh out of the Wisconsin
woods, was a roaring bear for realism He
was militant to degree; offensive to the SNUG
and contented literary America of his time.
He used to write bitter books about the hard
ships of farm life at time when PETER ard
derry Simpson, of Kansas, were talking fiat
money TO initiate the currency so that the West
ern farmer could pay off his mortgage easily.
What is more, Hamlin Garland had way of
going out to populist conventions and talking
90 the farmers, encouraging them in their IN
happiness and making medicine for the
preachers of political discomfort. Time was
when Garlands name in our best circles was
not more respected than Gorky's is now. Then
along came Mr.. Howells and took up Garland;
became, as HoweIls became for many literary
Howells himself wrote "a Hazard of New
Fortunes" and "The Rise Of Silas Lapham,"
books that Uttered at the high gods of
business and exploited the doctrine of liber-
alism, which was regarded then as red, radical
and dangerous. Howells was dean Of our
American letters then, and now probably Gar
land is dean. Garland has written os western
America with truth and beauty. He never was
roinanticist even though his Rocky Mountain
stories and his Indian agency romances had in
them much that would delight Bill Hart.
But now they are old-fashoned-- tales
OF Goods great out-of DOORS" 1t is not done
any more. The great wide spaces are rele-
gated to the dog and pony shows of literature.
We are in the midst of sophisticated age
The gentle reader must have his libdinous re-
actions symbolzed, or else take them psychic
analysed, or sugar coated with materialism
that makes us all like the beasts Of the field
and so keeps all sin rather simple animalsm
and never very blameworthy. Indeed, in our
literature to-day we have abolished sin en-
tirely. We recount murders, adulteries, lar
cenies and other infractions of the Ten Com

thing being done about it. Now is the time
to--we were going to say "to strike" but the
phrase gets on the nerves nowadays-the
time to act. That may seem trife prema-
ture, just as does the advice that in this
weather we should begin to resign ourselves
toward being rationed on coal this winter
We are not going to suggest that heavy opera
stars be rationed. We have much better and
more feasible idea for reducing them.
And that is to introduce into all the operas
scheduled for performance the coming season
strong motif, recurrent theme from the
widely known "Daily Dozen" musical exer-
cises. Such plan would not interfere with
the recreational hours of the stars, as do obi
Gus dietings and rollings. 1t would literally
work while they sang.
The librettos of the various operas are adj
mirably adapted for alteration along these
lines, and there is just time before the open
ing of the opera season for the necessary ar
rangements in the orchestral scores and the
somewhat radical changes in the stage direc-
tions. Committees on music and calisthenics
should at once get together. Advance hints to
guide their work on some of the better known
operas are herewith offered gratuitously.
FAUST is discovered burning the midnight
oil and trying to solve the riddle of the
universe. Exercise. Knit brow. Unknit
brow. One, two; hep, hep. He is about to
step out and get drink, frankly poison, when
he hears singing. Although that is nothing
much out Of the way in an opera, he forsakes
the idea Of suicide and decides instead to call
on The devil Yc, devil!

underwear, through the floor. Floor dips by

L. 1t seems and not in the greater dis
placement of the performers in the
Latter art as might be supposed by the un-
initiate. Most of the singers we have seen in
heavy opera have been quite heavy indeed, and
1t has troubled us sorely. Coming into the

toward the stage to identify the particular
sylph who had uttered it. And we would be

ceptions would be hopelessly disconnected.

justice. He is the'needed gadfy to keep lot
of stupid old Senatorial fogies awake. So
much reaction and Grass ignorance and self
ish bourbonism are gathered in the Senate
and one party contributes just as much as the
,other-that a gay, free, untrammeled dema-
gogue buzzing about in the Senate Chamber
might add greatly to the gayety of an other
wise gloomy prospect. Hearst is smart enough.
And he has an earful of grass root murmurs,

be worth hearing.

Some way, talk of Mr.. Hearst as Governor
offended something decent in the average
mans heart. AS Governor, Hearst would have
great power for evil. For Governor is rather
close to the people. He becomes sort of
shining example, and if there is any shine
about Mr.. Hearst it is the ef1orescence that

different again. Some way the idea of Hearst

Faust has vision of Marguerite. The vision
shows her kind of plump, but pretty just
the same. Faust Immediately dips pen into

Mephy surprises them by drinking fire, ap-

is some good exercise in the shape of energetic

In the next act Faust meets his dream girl,
Marguerite. She already looks thinner since
the vision, for she has been pumping away at

bell rings. It is making Marcy hot, but she
is fairly reeling off the flax and has the bell

Our Balky Mules

OBSERVE Congress. It has three bills
which no one desired passed except the
minorities directly Interested: The tariff, the
bonus, and the ship subsidy. For six months
Congress has clearly indicated that it desired
to pass these measures to get the vote of the
mlnorites. But Congress also has shown signs
that it was scared stiff of the obvious ma
jority against these bills. So Congress has
stood like balky mule at the bridge: afraid
TO go ahead and too mean to back up. And,
alas, no other legislation can pass until the
way is cleared An election approaches The
danger of public revolt is just as great with
those measures assured as it will be if they
are passed. But fear paralyzes the situation

ing to him. The Senate needs something to
show it how far down the road to disesteem
it has gone in the hearts of it's countrymen,
and Hearst would make the picture rather ac-
curately of the low opinion which folks are
getting for the body that passed the sugar
duty.

And thus far have we travelled in the thirty
odd years in which Hamlin Garland has been
writing American stories He has not moved
forward with the tide He still believes in the
force outside ourselves which makes for right
eousness, barking back in his theology to
Matthew Arnold and reverting in his morals
to the Sermon on the Mount. The young rebels
to-day feel that the old wildcat of the nine
teenth century is a domesticated pussy. But
no one who would know the truth about the

War can learn the truth better than by read

whole prohibitory law would be annuIled. And
the earnest souls who will keep diligently urg-
ing return to light wines and beer cannot
realize that if you cannot repeal the prohibi-
tory amendment you cannot modify 1t when
modification means repeal. All the polls on
the prohibitory question show an overwheln-
ing majority against repeal--what's the use
of talking about modification? Where the
prohibitory law has been tried it is the strong
est, and the longer the trial the stronger the
majority for it.
Gradually, as the years go by, the thing
that happened in the American cities west OF
the Alleghenies when their states went dry
will happen in the big cities of the Atlantic
seaboard, with dry nation. The cities are
always the last to come TO their milk; but
they come. New York will come. So will Bos-
ton and the cities of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. The mirage Of light wines and beer
used to last in the Western states long enough
to afford the secretaries of the various state
associations promoting light wines and beer
pleasant and profitable jobs, until the brewers
went to making soft drinks and quit putting
up money. Then the cause of light wines and
beer faded gently into desuetude 1t never
produced majority in any state, and 1t never
will produce more than bubble as it disap-

WUMEN have such subtle ways Of getting
the truth to US men. The other day a
man brought suit for divorce against his Wits
in New York, alleging that she had been gone
five years and before going she had tried to
shoot him and then burned down the house
IN tive years he took the hint. Women have
finer natures than men, and get these things
quicker. wife's intuition would have told
her that her husbands love was cooling two
years after he burned down the house.
