The New York INQUIRY,

The Legislative Committee that has
been for some months past investigat-
ing affairs in New York City expires
by limitation in February. This week
conference Of Republican legislators
will be held at Utica to prepare a party
legislative program for the coming ses-
sion. 1t is expected that it will con-
slider the advisability Of asking the
Lssislature for . continuance Of the
seabury Committees mandate, with ap-
propriauons TO cover the heavy cost OF
operations. Ths feeling prevails, It Il
said, on the part of some Of the Repub-
hcans that the committee has not made
such killing ~ to warrant the further
outlay Of public funds. 1t Is true that
a good deal has been brought to Mght
regarding the wonder boxes" Of ran-
many officials and has at least inferen-
TALLY established the fact that certain
people identified with the municipal
administration have grown wealthy
from commissions and unexplained fees,
gifts and other revenues in the course
Of the transaction of the public busi-
ness But this revelation has not
reached any OF the higher-up person
ages now in authority, and there is some
doubt as to whether further inquiry
would put anybody in the pillory Of

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEEELL.

The Famous Author set down the fol-
lowing list of rules to be observed by
the aspiring young writer.
l. Keep note book of all ideas.
2. Write in long hand as much as
possible.
3. Use a pencil
4. Keep physically fit, "for literature
is 90 per cent physical energy, 10 per
cent intelligence" he said.
5. Never think that any idea Is toe
trivial
8. Keep a firm grip on your sense OF
humor.
After all, there is nothing particularly
new about this advice, but 1t Is very
good, much better than the average
young writer will realize.
He-or she-has not written enough
yet
1t takes time to club some of these
good principles into one.
Experience is a great teacher, indeed
but she is at her best for oldsters, not
youngsters.
The aspirants to fame. in any branch
OF human endeavor may be divided into
Two main classes, approximately, The
hrst OF these comprise about one-fourth

no rules, but make up new rules for the
world to observe.
constitute ordinary mortals who have
some ability but who otherwise need
all the help they can get.
Most do; the unfortunate part is that
young people too often are unable tc
grasp that what is told them Is good
they want to argue about it.
Lacking the experience of years. they
expect some overwhelming light in ad-
vice given them. They want some
thing which will knock them cold" az
their vigorous, juvenile expression
he's it.
They expect advice which will glisten
gleam or palpitate 1t must ring a bell
or blow horn, or knock them down.
X x
When advice does none of these
things, but comes in the form of ordi-
nary, plain language, without fuss or
feathers, the young person feels ter
ribly let down.
Keep a note book, indeed
Why haven't our teachers forced us
to keep note books until we hate the
very sight OF them?
But. not the sort Of memorandum
oooE writers keep, dear boys and girls.
This is little book, maybe leather
covered, maybe of paper entirely, per-
haps good looking. maybe entirely dis
reputable in appearance, in which the
writer sets down, for his own benefit
and entirely his own, the stray thoughts
which ccme to him.
There Is nothing in this world more
elusive than thought Even dreams
are solid, as compared with ideas.
The more novel an idea is, the better
1t is, the quicker 1t will fly away.
The inexperienced handler OF thoughts
that pass in the day tas well as in
the night) will be inclined to think
that the more diverting an idea the
surer one would be to hold onto 1t.
The exact opposite is nearer true.
Beware the thought which appears to
be so good that one could not possibly
forget it.
II need not trouble to jot that down. u
the proud thinker thinks. How could
possibly forget it?"
So he does not write II down.
Perhaps his little idea book LIS In an
other room. Maybe he has the book
but no pencil handy.
That is so good" he chortles To
himself. that could not possibly for
get It,"
Some hours later, or days later he
recalls that he had big, fine idea.
"A whale of an idea," he huns. Nov

There is q notsble absence CT demand

an honored and worthy adopted son, in
whose career New England also has q
share of pride"
What place he will have In history
is still a problem" to the Manchester
Union, but this paper considers that
he was "a notable statesman" and
acknowledges that, during his active
career in Washington as cabinet official
in the second Cleveland administration
and In the Senate, he was prominent
and active figure, being the original
advocate Of many departures in gov
ernment, some Of which were adopted
while he was in ONCE and others since"
One of the peculiar experiences OF
his career is recalled by the Cincinnati
Times-Star, which relates that when
Hoke Smith of Georgia was Secretary
OF the Interior in the second Cleveland
administration, the New York Sun with
perverse ingenuity persistently denied
his existence, spelling his name Hoax
Myth as proof of its contention" AS
its own opinion, the Times-Star asserts:
Yet he was a real man and vigorous
American"
But Mr.. Smith enjoyed the respect
and confidence of many of those who
cad not find themselves always in ac-
cord with him." claims the Rock Island
Argus. "A distinguished son of
Georgia, although a native of South
Carolina, he will be remembered as one
who never feared to act according to
his convictions. even Il they we're con-
trary to those entertained by his own
party"
In its estimate of Mr.. Smith, the
Baltimore Sun says: What is left at
the end of his long career is a man of
notable talent, whose purposes were on
the whole good and who found way
TO play a robust and powerful part In
periods that deserved to be called heroic
and who will soon be forgot" OF the
opinion that, with amazing oratorical
gifts and ability to sway the electorate,
Hoke Smith missed greatness by a sur
prisingly narrow margin" the Roanoke

it considers his Achilles heel, COM

will come to the conclusion that lack

rom the Atlanta Journa

from the Atlanta journal
1t is pleasant news that so 900 SPEC
tators attended a recent corn-huskine
contest at Grundy Center, Iowa, the
eighth annual and national event of its
kind. This compares well with the
largest crowds that ever flock to base
ball or gridiron series, with the eager
galleries that throng the links. and is
the more remarkable in that the husk-
ing field was remote from any great
center of population. That so many
persons should foregather to watch the
skill and prowess of those who excel in
