BELIEVE ME, III ] WERE RUN
MING THIS TOWN.

almost every day OF the week we
hear some one say, Believe me, if |
We're running this town ia do so and
so. Probably at least half Of the
suggestions might prove valuable and
the people who are running the town
would be glad to get them
The plain truth Of the matter Is
that every citizen of the town has Or
should have a hand ia the way town
is operated. Ear too many Of them
feel that when they have elected a
mayor OF city council they have dis
pensed with their fun duty. Those
people are elected simply IN order that
the viii Of the people may be carried
out mot in order chat the town may
be run as a mere handful Of men die
tate.
These men you have elected do not
claim to be ali-wise IN the best meth
ods Of governing a town. They are
there TO carry out the wisest o. the
suggestions they receive. Naturally
when they do not receive any have to
fall back on their own IDEAS But
they would be only Zoo glad TO get
ideas from every citizen, SO hereaf-
ter instead Of saying, Believe me. If
were running this town'-just real

Fairs, with exhibits for sale, marked
by prize tag, and thus inaugurate

money might prove Of great value to
the women Of the county. She urged
that the Woman's Club consider itself
bound by election held last spring to

place be marked out, to find how
much the tax would be increased by a
$4,000 bond issue for new school
building, and that the bonds might be
subscribed for and sold locally in such
small denominations that even a school
child might own one. The President
closed her address by stating that her

BEST SELLERS BRIEF REIGN
Analysis Of Most Popular Novel Shows
Why the Quality Falls Short
Of Greatness.

The "best seller" may be great, but
does not need to be. 1t Is usually a
weak book, no matter how readable,
because ordinarily 1t has only the ele-
ments of popularity to go on, and sue
ceeds by their number and timeliness
instead of by fineness and truth.
A second rate man can compound a
best seller IL his sense for the popular
Is first-rate. In his books the instlnc-
tive emotions are excited over broad
area, but rapidly sink again. No better
examples can be found than In the
sword and buckler romance of our
9Os, which set us all for while think
low gallantry. Now It is dead, stone
dead, not even the movies can revive
It. The emotions II aroused went fiat
over night. Much the same Is true OF
books that trade in prejudice, like the
white slave stories of decade ago.
Thus the profitable ship Popularity
can be kept upright for little voy-
age with light ballast Of prejudice or
sentiment and this, prevailingly, Is all
her cargo. But the wise writer, II he
Is able as Scott and Dickens and
Clemens were able, freights her more
deeply. AS for the good reader, he
will go below to inspect before the
voyage begins; or, If in mid-career he
likes rot his carrier. take Off in his
mental airplane and seek another
book.-Henry Seldel Candy In the
Century Magazine.
