The "DO AS lido" COMPLEX

One Of the odd traits OF human
nature Is the tendency exhibited by
some minds 10 wish TO deny TO 9TH
ers what they themselves do not
Ike. Thus we find that the speaker
Of the Florida house OF representa-
ives does not care to read news
about sports In the newspapers.
This man probably thinks that
sports are the quintessence OF fool
ishncss, a waste of time, something
yielding no good consequences 10
anyone, a business that originated
IN the fertile mind Of the dewitt
Merhistophelcs really has a mind OF

So much taken for granted, the
speaker of the Florida house would
tune action with conviction, He

news to trickle over the wires in
Florida, and would make it Il crime

Instead Of giving up In this IN
glorious manner the Boston district
attorney and the police department
should continue 10 the logical con-
clusion. The plays OF one William
Shakespeare, Tor instance. should
be read, censored and their sale abb
soluteIy prohibited. The bible, book
of all books, should be similarly
censored and its sale prohibited,
The dictionary, full OF bad words

Continued to Its logical conclusion
the public Of Boston could buy
nothing but Mother Goose rhymes,
the Cinderella books, the Pollyanna
books, the Rover Boys, the Henty
books, and bedtime stories. The city
would simply wallow in culture.

WOMEN NOVELISTS

Again a woman has won the first
prize in a. first novels" contest,
this time the daughter OF Z. W..
Howe. widely known Kansas editor.
The prize winners name /, Mrs.
Mateel Howe Farnham. and she re-
ceives $4,000 for this first novel
O. her home town-Atchison, Kans.
The royalties on the book are ea-
pected TO bring in $4,000.
Women are our most prolific
novel and short-story writer's.
Where one, like Mrs. Farnham,
reaches a dizzy success thousands
fail. In the contest referred to 1900
manuscripts were submitted-all
novels. 1t Is safe to say that most
OF them were by women, for as
every publisher knows, more women
are dabbling In the writing game
than men. All the business needs Is
a typewriter, some ideas, ability to
write fairly good English. and spare
time. In the minds OF most practi-
TONERS, the latter Is the most neces-
sary and important ingredient Of
all.
The success OF women as novel
writers Is one OF the outstanding
facts OF the age. BY glancing
through any publishers list one
comes across quite as many names
OF women authors as one finds Of
men writer's. And many OF the
women attain great distinction, be-
come the authors OF "best sellers"
at least for a period. The writing
OF novels is one OF the most gentcel
OF occupations; one can almost call
1t one OF the most feminine Of occu
pations. There are almost as many
feminine novel and story writer's as
there are feminine pianists. Those
OF the present day, however, have a
lively 'r7v to hoe before they can
surpass the enduring fame of some
women writers OF the past-such as
George Elliot, Harriet Beecher Stowe
and George Sand. for instance. Tho
facts evidently are that women al
ways have had good imaginations,
one of the first requisites for sue
cessful fiction. They come natural
ly by it; for countless ages women
have been telling stories to their
young by way Of amusing them or
putting them 10 sleep; and the only
difference between bed time story
for the Riddles and a novel is one Of
degree.

CITRON ASKS ANOTHER

Representative William Citron OF
Mlddetown, Democratic leader in
the Legislature, is one OF those
pestiferous persons who continually
asks questions. This wouldn't be go
bad Il the questions were OF the
How Old is Ann" type; but
Brother Citron first thinks up hot
one and then shoves 1t into the pur-
view OF the assembled grand old
party with the skill of Senator jim
Reed OF Missouri.
The other day along came a bill
to incorporate the Connecticut VAL
ley Power Exchange. This bill
would have enabled Connecticut
and Massachusetts, power companies
to exchange power without a finan-
cial merger, consolidation. and
without issuing more watercd stock.
Financial pyramidins. such as Is
taking place IN the power industry,
would be nicely avoided and oil the
benefits Of such mergers would be
, conserved to the public.
AS the Waterbury Republican
sgccinctly puts 1t, THE participant
ing companies would exchange
power without merging and any re-
sultant savings could be passed on
to the consumer instead OF being
absorbed to pay dividends on water
cd stock"
OF course. this bill was rejected.
There wasn't even any debate upon
it. The assem- bled aggregation OF
Koraback automatons merely went
thumbs down on the proposition as
being entirely discordant with the
views principles and practices of
their patron saint.
Then came a caustic question
from Representative Citron. All he
wanted to know was why the bill
should be automatically assassinat-
ed while such bills as the one giving
extraordinary rights to the Con.
necticut Light & Power company
have been lust as automatically
passed
All he got for his pains in putting
this barood wire question. however
vas a sarcastic reflection upon his
Intelligence by the chairman OF the
committee which reported the bill
unfavorably.
To be sure, folks, anyone in the
slightest degree doubling the
heavenly honeficencs OF the Rora-
back administration has no intell-
gence at all. He automatically be-
comes ora o, those durnbbells who
