TOO MUCH GENEROSITY
In POLITICS

Newspapers published at Wash
ington, D. c., make some interesting
! observations relatives to the recent
election and party responsibility
The statement is made that of
the tens of thousands of Democrats
in the public service when Presi-
dent Wilson went out of office, a
very large number of them were per-
mited to remain on the payrolls dur
ing the past two years of Republic
can administration, and that when
the election returns were received,
these same people Justify cheered
the bulltins that were favorable to
the Democratic party and against
those who permitted them to remain
on the jobs. That carried with it
the admission that they must have
been hoping for Republican reverses
all the time, and in their work they
probably hampered achievement as
much as they could, and when OPP
pOrtunity presented itself to give in
formation to the enemies of the adj
ministration they did not hesitate to
do so.
That is the thanks that party re-
ceives for being generous to the in
dividuals constituting the opposition
to it's policies, and it is freely pre-
dicted that there will be house
cleaning on political lines as result
of these experiences. Since the
party in power is to be responsible
for achievement or lack of achieve
ment it is poor policy to let the OPP
position be in a position to put on
the brakes when the political bus is
ascending the hills.

FATE OF THE SCOTT
CARAVAN

The venture of the famous Scott
Caravan is an acknowledged failure
1t took only one year to put most
of them out of the game as home
steaders and it is said that there are
only three or four Of them left on
their claims.
The final blow to most of them
was the failure of bank at Bull,
Idaho, only a few weeks after their
arrival, and before they had laid in
their winter supplies. They were
building and getting ready for
winter, and supposed their money
was safe, when the bank closed it's
doors and left them stranded, at the
beginning of winter, on wild lands
that held no hope of anything but
hard work and heavy expenses for
another ten months.
1t was prospect to break down
the spirit of western homesteaders
Injured in hardships and accustomed
to being broke. With the added cir
cumstances of hard times and getting
harder, it is little wonder that they
kept dropping out of the contest
thru all the months of the year that
has just closed for them.
Scott organized his colony on the
resolution that none could join it
unless he had $4,000 in cash after
buying his outfit. 1t was found
later, that some of the colonists ar
rived at destination with very little
money. Scott had showed the
colonists pictures of everything per-
tanning to the land, and even dis
played to them the picture of the
canyon of the Salmon river that lay
between the lands and the only
town they could do their trading in.
He told them it was twenty miles
from the town to the tract. He
probably told them a great many
things which they did not heed or
remember, in their enthusiasm to
get into the great adventure of
Westward Ho!"
A man who travelled part of the
distance with the caravan and
learned much of the inside Of
its affairs, says that most of
the colonists were tired of the
receptions they received by the
time they got thru one or two
states, and wanted to cut them out
and travel rather than be enter
tanned. Mr.. Scott enjoyed the en-
and the fame 1t heaped |

THE OLD RULE
is BROKEN

There is an old saying that If q
man steals q million or some large
amount of wealth he is cleared, but
that II
1.-THE poor man steals
But loaf of bread
For starving child
His name is dead;
And he looks out
On the evening stars
And signs for home
By the prison bars"
But things are changing. Poor
men are looking up, and well-to-do
fellows charged with crime find
themselves treated worse just be-
cause they have made some money
and taken care Of 1t.
Down in Oklahoma City man
stole two bath tubs and was given,
by law, IS and new suit Of clothes.
1t came about in this way: A man
on being liberated from the peni-
Tertiary in that state is given new
suit and IS. The jury that heard
the case had the privilege Of saying
what the sentence should be, and
they heard the evidence regarding
the man stealing the two bath tubs
and returned verdict Of guilty and
fixed the sentence at one day in the
penitentiary. He went to the pen,
served one day, received his suit Of
clothes and IS and went home.
Who says a poor man gets the
worst of it!

SOME POLITICAL
JOKES

Addison T. Smith lives at Twin
Falls, and comes home whenever he
can during recessess of congress.
While he is at home (Idaho) he is
generally kept busy running around
from one locality to another look
ing after projects that he must have
personal knowledge Of in order to
serve well his people. He is at once
a statesman and a chore boy, and
the little tasks are not beneath his
notice. He seems to find real Joy in
doing things for people at home, and

cluded an immense ostrich feather.
This was George Eliot. The contrast
between the solemnity Of the face and
the frivolity of the headgear had some
thing pathetic and provincial about it ="
Rarely, | think, has the eclipse Of a
literary loness, with which the essay
deals, explained itself so perfectly in
simple fact as here. That solemn
face and frivolous hcadgcar have the
Significance of profound symbol. Of
less general interest perhaps, but a
valuable record, nevertheless, is the
chapter entitled "a Visit to the Friends
of lbscn.' which describes the Nor
Wcgian intellectuals in the Christiania
Of 1872, and the group which cham
pioned the eXilcd Ibsen. Of the same
type of footnote to literary history is

the situation as a whole seem more
com plicated--a plot SO far reaching,
in fact, that the action has to be
laid in 1880, and the mystery ele-

there is always the smaller but depend

both types of books, and to many Of

was also great British patriot, and
bit Of solemn humbug Obviously in
such a quandary Edmund Gosse simply
must bury his head in the sand Of
humorless hero-worship, leaving him
self exposed to the gaze Of eyes less
glanoured by the circumstances.
The result is that his account Of
Jamcs's fussiness, his old-maidish
scnsltivcness, his war work, MS Brit
ish naturalization, his decoration with
the Order Of Merit, is as incredible q
piece Of sustained bathos as have
ever read in any language. Gossc has
an ingrained respect for these tawdry
decorations, for the pompous pccvish-
ness Of literary gent who comes
down to breakfast with a sore head,
and he records the whole story with a
reverence which is positively bias
phemous. All that one can say is that
the discretion of Edmund Gosse must
have made him an admirable con
fidant. His chapter on Clcmenceau is
anothoc delightful example Of his win

at once and so thoroughly that her

"The Pathless Trail" (Harper)
by Arthur Friel.-The kind of story
we loved when we were twelve, writ
ten so that we can enjoy it now. All
the bad cannibals are killed in a
bloody battle and the good canni-
balls keep on canniballing happily
ever after. The bare-handed strug-
gle in which the American hero
chokes the German villain to death
is reported in detail. When we
reached the last page we thought we
had learned something about the
South American jungle, in which the
scene is laid.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-30

this story readily appear older or far
younger than their stated ages, &C
cordng to the needs of the narrative
Az usual, too, they bear more often
than not closer resemblance to what
Mr.. Harrington knows grown-up read
ors love TO imagine they we're like
when kids than to anything actually
known in child nature. Nevertheless,
as was the case with Penrod and his
friends, the children in "Gontle Julia"
do sometimes drift for short periods
into an inimitable reality, and when
sistible.
A ND so 1t Is, precisely, with the
semi-adults, with Julia herself and
her endless train of lovers, in whose
affairs the children take so active and
disastrous en- interest. Often they are
deiciorsly genuine, but more fire.
Quently their actions indicate q dis
concerting confusion on the part OF the
author himself as to whether they are
twenty-five or fifteen. And really Mr..
Harrington does occasionally trust too
far to the capacity Of mature persons
for fooling themselves and being fooled
about what they were like when young.
There are episodes involving certain Of
Juha's swains which even the most
youth bemused Of US will balk at, adj
mitting, reluctantly that we were never
we'll, quite that bad, perhaps, and that
maybe Mr.. Harrington does exaggerate
just little.
If the book about the lovely and too,
too kind Julia can bring forth this
admission its existence is justified over
and above the bright If somewhat un-
steady glow Of fun which, rather In
spite Of Itself, it does contain. For
with this beginning we might some day
fnd ourselves coming gradually to the
admission that Mr.. Harrington prac-
tised not too nicely calculated eXag-
geration in the majority of the Penrod
stories, too, and, finally that even--yes,
even Seventeen" was not the utterly
faithful document we proclaim ed it to
be, something of work Of art though
It was.

CHARACTERISTIC example

A CHARACTERISTIC example OF
Gossc's capacity for fair aand
stimulating exposition is his essay on
Emile taguet and Remy de Gourmont,
where he is undisturbed by any CON
sciousness of indecorous personal de-
tails from which the blushing cheek
Of England must be preserved, As he
rightly says in estimating these two
types, a foreigner has no
advantage over the French themselves,
and he does justice TO them both.
Now that the vogue Of Gourmont,
chiefly in eXecrable translatons, threat
ems these states, it is we'll to be re-
minded that the best, the quintcssenco
Of his work, is in four volumes-"L'Es-
thetjque de la Languc Francaise,' "I.a
Culture dcs Idees,' "Lc Chemin de
Selours" and lie Probleme du Style"
On the subject Of Henry James
Gossc manages to combine all the
virtues and defects of his orthodoxy
in an almost laughable manner. He
has drawn a most revealing sketch Of
that great spinster with considerable
skill and felicity, but he is bedevilled
with all sorts of conventions, fears and
taboos. The two men were great
friends; in the eyes Of the critic the
novelist was a great writer. But he
