OFFICIAL MOURNING
TO END AT SUNSET
Many Thought to Have Misunder-
stood Order on Death of
Mr.. Harding.

The period OF official mourning for
the late President Harding expires
at sunset this evening in accordance
with the executive order issued on
the morning of August 8 announcing
his death at San Francisco the
previous night.
Thore appears to be a general mis-
understanding on the subject, how
over, mainly due to the statement in
many newspapers that the official
mourning period ended at sunset last
evening. AS a consequence, while
the national flag was displayed at
half staff today on all public build
ings in this city and elsewhere, it
was shown. at full staff on a ma
jority Of private establishments. in
Guiding hotels. etc. The flag on the
White House was at half staff. as
usual, today and will be raised to
full staff tomorrow morning for the
first time since President Coolidge
assumed office.

JOURNALISM
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

One of the most potent fetishes is
the ancient, honorable and eminently
respectable little god called Litera-
ture.
1t is commonly supposed that lit
erature is a kind of writing which is
entirely different from the mere say
ing of your say, clearly and inter-
estingly.
This little god, like all other idols.
gains much by being surrounded with
clouds and darkness. Its worship
with unintelligible phrases and
abounds in indistinct shapes.
Most literature worshipers have
a hearty contempt for journalism.
ood Journalism consists in writing
about topics in which the reader is
presently interested in a manner that
ls swift. clear and Understandable
The esotertc group of the Illuminated
ones are convinced, first, that the
common people are mostly morons
and, second. that any one who writes
in way that they like and can COM
prehend must therefore be moron
also.
"or the benefit of the Superior Ones
! subjoin few remarks on the sub
ject of Journalism which / find in
Bernard Shaw's preface to The
Sanity of Art"
Journalism is the highest form of
literature; for all the highest litera-
ture is journalism. The writer who
aims at producing the pfatitudes
which are not for an age. but for all
time has his reward in being unread
able in all ages: whilst Plato and
Aristophanes trying to knock some
sense into the Athens of their day,
peopling that same
Athens with Elizabethan mechanics
and Warwickshire hunts. Ibsen pho
tographing the local doctors and ves-
trymen of Norwegian parish Car
paccio painting the life of ST. Ursula
exactly as if she were lady living
in the next street to him, are still
alive and at home everywhere among
the dust and ashes of thousands of
academic. punctilious, archaeological
ly correct men of letters and art who
spent their lives haughtily avoiding
the Journalists vulgar obsession with
the ephemeral.
II also am journalist. proud of it.
deliberately cutting out OF my works
all that is not journalism, convinced
that nothing that is not journalism
Will live long as literature. or be of
any use while it does live.
The man who writes about himself
and his own time is the only man who
writes about all people and about all
time. The other sort of man. who be-
lieves that he and his period are so
distinct from all other men and pc
riods that IL would be immodest and
irrevelant to allude TO them or as
sumo that they could interest any
one but himself and his contempo-
raries, is the most infatuated of all
egotists. and consequently the most
unreadable and negligible of all the
authors. And so. let others cultivate
what they call literature; Journalist m
