The period had seemed de decated to realism. Howells was writing his unflinching analysis of everyday prosaic life; Hamlin Gar land, who preferred to be called a "vertist," used a grimmer pen in drawing the Western prairies; the still more uncompromising Stephen Crane and Frank Norris were just coming to the front. Americans who were in the literary "movement" upheaval of the gaudiest and most irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms armored knights and historic warriors. "Janice Meredith" and "To Have and to Hold" by "Richard Carvel." It was on this tide of romanticism that Mr. McCutcheon's "Graustark." dashed off at a newspaper desk, rode in to make its $250,000 success. Of course, this phenomenon at the turn of Jhe century might be ex planied in recondite ways. It might be traced obscurely to the Spanish War, or to a reaction against Hanna and the trusts, or to the new maga zines. But the best explanation is the simple fact that romanticism of this sort never dies. From G. O. P. James right down to the late Stanley Weyman the line can be traced with out a break. Human appetite of realism and problem novels flags from time to time. But the appetite for broadwords, solitary horsemen, mistry-eyed heroines, battles and sudden escapes, is immortal. Stev enson and Anthony Hope played up to it and the American writers simply caught the great new read ing public that the high schools were turning out. The formula changes, but general form lives forever. :o: FRANCE AND ENGLAND Not since the great war has there been so sensational a political in cident as exposure of the secret naval agreement between England and France. London advices go so far as to say that if there were any alternative but the Labor party Eng land would turn the Baldwin Gov ernment out. How liberal sentiment in the country feels about the dis covery that while prating peace and participating in the League of Na tions these two counties were actu ally making in secret an alliance of their naval forces may be easily guessed from the following denuncia tion by the Manchester Guardian: This naval agreement made mockery of disarmament, which it is ostensibly designed to pro mote. It involves a conception of a foreign policy that leads inexorably to war. If this rep resents the settled policy of the British Government, if we are to understand that for the fu ture it intends to pin its faith to the discredited system of ex clusive alliance, friendly under standings and gentlemen's agree ments between separate states at whatever cost to the princi ples of the League, then the world is confronted with one of the most dangerous develop ments since the armistic. One can only believe that the Eu ropean powers are hopeless. At least, the Post-Dispatch cannot have been far wrong when it refused to take seriously the solemn pledge recently eiven bv the principal nations to outlay war. Both the English and French were at the very moment Dlottins: war behind the back of peace. Is it any wonder that the English people, bled as they were by the last ;war, are shocked and disheartened? :o: Democrats had a great deal of fun in this campaign ridiculing Mr. Hoover's claim Republican author ship of everything nice that lias happened in the last seven and a half years. The other day someone suspected of being a Democrat sent Mr. Hoover a communication asking him why he had not claimed credit 1 i for Babe Ruth's home run record and Lindbergh's flight. Mr. Hoover also accused ot neglect or a he had GIVE PHILIP II CHARTER Three hundred and sixty years ago Don Carlos, the difficult son of King Philip II of Spain, one of the glories of that nation, launched the Ar mandj, died in prison to which he had been confined by the King. Some thought he had been poisoned, and novelists and dramatists have play ed with the theme until most people assume the story to be true. This irked the Spaniards and especially the Academy of History. Thus the dufat of the unhappy Carlos i3 to be taken from the gloomy Escorial at the instance of the Acad emy and with the consent of King Alfonso, and turned over to gentle men of science in the hope of show ing that King Philip II was not an assassin. And how? By an ordinary chem ical analysis of the dust, and then by injecting some of the dust of this son of a King into a frog to observe the affect; and then by subjecting the dust to ultra violet and other rays. Will the investigation prove any thing? Alas, no, says a chemist. If arsenic or any mineral poison was used we have proof that Philip was a murderer, but if a plant poison used there will be no way to as certain the fact. But between the historian setting out to make a case for Philip and the scientist inter ested in the same cause we may yet learn that the great King was "pure as light and stainless as a star." :o: OUR FATAL ANCESTORS Y . true and complete citation missed claiming the movietone and j television, the abundant rainfall, one-piece bathing suit, Mayor Thomp Ji son's revised American History, elec X i trie refrigerators, hobby-horse, and I Vermont sap buckets Y Y Y Y -:o: The Federal Trade Commission's disclose that the public utility com panies paid approximately $84,000 annually for the dissemination of favorable propaganda through the "Industrial News Bureau," presum ably a' news distributing agency; of such efforts is attested 20,000 X success hy the fact that more than ' solid newspaper pages of this mat- "The Shop of Personal Service' Telephone 61. Plattsmouth, Neb. bet on elections X r X ter found its way into the news and editorial columns of newspapers. :o:- Mazie told George he muBt not 'You bet I won't" "Sity-five ger cent of all humans die of diseases which killed a strain of their ancestors," says Dr. Charles Mayo, the noted surgeon. To the layman this statement is starting. It carries the implication that for virtually two out of every three per sons the manner of natural death has been determined before they come into the world. Such a verdict from such a high authority is nearly enough to make Calvinistic predes tinarians of us all. But before we adopt a wholly fatalistic attitude we should see the other side of the picture. The im portance which modern medical science now attaches to heredity is proving a factor In prolonging hu man life. As Dr. Mayo puts it, the study of a man's ancestry enables the physician to. judge, with 65 per cent of success, what he is most like ly to die of. That knowledge can be put to practical use. Since the fam ily history may reveal lurking enemies which the physician would not ordinarily detect, it makes pos sible the employment of timely measures of prevention. Instead, therefore, of being depressed because of our proneness to die after the manner of our forebears, let us be grateful that this knowledge of the route we are most likely to take in making our exit may prove the means of postponing the ultimate event. :o: Now it appears that the British government, rather than the United States, is going to be the goat. We won't have anything to do with the argument. France is tickled to death, believing that the entente and her submarines and military plans will be left undesturbed. But where as the Coolidge-Kellogg attitude has proced as popular as any move in our foreign policy for many years and whereas the French press and pub lic are enthusiastic. Chamberlain and Premier Sanley Baldwin are being denounced, even by the Tory press all over England. LEGAL NOTICE I To Hattie Shrider.
