THE MAGNANIMOUS
(New York Times)
In the too scanty early parade of Republicans mention
ed or boomed as candidates for President there is something
ghostly, unreal, the irreverent might say comic. What, is
behind the show Have its masters, if master it has, favor
ites whom they hope to make stars in 36 ? Meanwhile do
they benevolently encourage what may be called “amateur
nights?" However, that may be, the hardest heart that
looks Kansasward turns soft-boiled. Charles Curtis, tho
he has lost his residence in Kansas, hasn’t lost his love for
that mother of genius or his interest in her politics.
In 1932 Alf Landon was elected Governor. Mr. Curtis
was not re-elected Vice-President. Alf must increase, Char
les must decrease. Mr. Curtis yearned to be nominated for
President in 1928. He sees Governor Landon the pillar of
Republican hope in his Kansas. He pats him on the back
and gives him his blessing. It may be said by the bilious
and the unworthy that, having no office in prospect for him
self, he can afford this kindness. Envy tumbles off her
perch when she sees Arthur Capper, the farmer’s hope, so
late the docile and yearning New DeaTer, give a warm testi
monial to Governor Landon.
What act of magnanimity could be more high-souled ?
What act of renunciation implies a more agonizing self-sac
rifice? For if out Capper is not “Presidential timber” may
no woodsman spare that tree. Who is a more eager hark
ener to the voice of the people? Who in Kansas has such
multitudes of friends and papers? Who, as the poet White
puts it, “has spent more toil on tillers of the soil.” Senator
Capper, modest as he is, has a just ambition. He knows his
worth. Now he spins the laurel. After you, Alf.
His attitude is touching. It is noble. Not for worlds
would we have the malignity of those persons who say that
Mr. Capper, a seasoned bird, dreads prematurity. Let Lan
don, Knox, et al., eat one another up. At the proper time
Mr. Capper may be put forward. We trust not the tale.
Today a hero’s banner is unfurled.
Interesting political situation: Democrats striving to
rescue their party from New Dealers; Republicans trying to
shove the Old Guard out of the picture; nondescript radicals
wetting their lips in anticipation of bones to pick.—Exchange
Nobody says “Share our Wealth.” They say, “Share
your wealth.” Anyway, that’s what they mean.—Exchange.

written several short stories on Al
aska, an editor of a magazine sug
gested that he write a novel.
“I was ready to write a novel but
merely lacked the push to go thru
with such a large job', Mr. Beach
said. “With encouragement from the
editor I started in. I wrote 40,000
words and it seemed that the story
was going along very well. But it
occurred to me that, while I had a
good start, the ending of the story
might spoil it.
“ As a result of this fear I com
municated with Everybody's Maga
zine and tried to sell the entire story
on the strength of the first 40,000
words. The editor called me to his
office. He said that the story went
well as far as it was written, but
expressed some doubts about me.
“You are just a budding author
the editor said to me You have nev
er written a novel and how do we
know you will be able to finish this
one. Many authors lack terminal
facilities.
"He had me cornered and I knew
that if I didnt tell him a satisfactory
conclusion of the story on the mo
ment my chances of a sale were
lost. To tell the truth, I had no idea
how I would end the story. We were
walking in the corridor of the of
fice building at the time of this con
versation and I started to tell the
editor a conclusion.
“I put everything I had into that
little sales talk. I backed the editor
up against the wall and with viol
ent gestures and much shouting. I
outlined a finish to him. I called up
on all I knew about sales resistance
and psychology to overcome that
editor’s doubts.
“The editor bought the story and
I went home to finish it.
“And you know, all these years

since then I have been wondering
what it was that I said in that ex
! cited sales talk in the corridor. I am
sure I must have trumped up a good
ending for the story, but for the life
of me I cant remember what it was.
It was probably better than the end
ing I actually used.
Mr Frothingham listened intently
1 to the authors account of his side
of the negotiations in connection
with The Spoilers. He then told of
the inner affairs of the magazine
office.
‘‘Everybody's Magazine was one of
the first in the United States to
popularize good literature When I
became its advertising director our
circlation was 100,000. We put on a
new editor and he did marvelous
work. The circulation jumped to
600.000. Then the new editor quit.
Our circulation dwindled down to
500.000, and we were pressed for
something that would halt the down
ward trend, Mr Frothingham said.
"The editor, the business manager
the circulation manager and I con
ferred frequently about the unheal
thy condition of the magazine. We
groped for something that would en
able us to maintain our circulation.
"Rex Beach was a new star on
the horizon at that time and we
asked ourselves whether we could
afford to purchase a story from him. 1
We had watched his work and
found it packed full of action and
interest.
"It was a big step for us to take—
purchasing a story from Rex Beach.
When the first 40,000 words of the
story came into our hands each
executive read it through. The cir
culation manager said he thought it
would do the trick. The editor said
he, too, favored it. As advertising
manager I said I thought it would
help.
"Thus the executives were unani
mous in their decision, Mr. Froth
ingham continued.
