Ths spring election occurs this
>?r on April Fool s Day.
There is a growing sentiment fav
oring abolishing the office of gov
ernor of Alaska In the past. gov
sraor* hare spent moat of their
ttms In Washington, and H has been
observed that things ran along as
?moot hly, and In some cases more
smoothly, than when that function
ary was on the Job.
There should be no International
boundary lines to prevent the oper
ation of justice and truth All boun
dary lln?s are artificial and arbi
trary With Mexican* perpetrating
outrages upon the Innocent. W 1th
women and children falling victims
to death dealing shot and sword.
Justice pauses helpless at an imag
taary boundary line, while the out

and so throughout all the political
dtrtsion*. these ghosts of boundary

Real Life
Characterizes
Literature
of Today
By JOHN BURROUGHS.
Naturalist and Essayist
IT must be said that literature has gained in many respects in
this hurrying, economic age. It has G ATX ED IX POIXT
AND PRECISIOX WHAT IT HAS LOST IX POWER
We are more impatient of the sham, the make believe, the
Slatorv, the merely rhetorical and oratorical. We are more impa
tient of the obscure, the tedious, the impotent, the superfluous, the
fcr fetched.
We. hare a new and a sharpened sense for the REAL, the
VllAL, the LOGICAL The dilatory and meandering methods of
?ren such a writer as Hawthorne tire us a little now, and the make
WLmts of a Dickens is well nigh intolerable.
* w n
WE WANT A STORY TO MOVE RAPIDLYj WE WANT THE E3
?AY FULL OF POINT AND SUGGESTION WE FIND IT MORE AND
MORE DIFFICULT TO READ BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS. AND ALL WRIT
mo "ABOUT AND ABOUT** WE ARE IMPATIENT OF. WE WANT
THE THING ITSELF: WE WANT CURRENTS AND COUNTERCUR
MBNTB? MOVEMENTS AND RAPIDITY AT ALL HAZARDS.
* ? n
We are nsed to seeing the wheels go round; we feel the tremen
leus push of our civilization all about us; we see the straight paths,
IfcBptte obstacles, that the controlled physical forces make over the
tarth's surface: w are MASTERS OF THE SCIENCE OF
?HORT CUTS in all departments of life, and both literature and
philosophy respond to th. se conditions. Pragmatism has come in,
Mgtnatiaa has gone out; the formal, the perfnnctory, the rhetorical,
?sunt for lc?* and less; the direct, the MAXLY, the ESSEXTIAL,
??ant for more and more. Scierce has cured us of many delusions,
it ha? made up the poorer by dispelling certain illusions, but it
^BS rarely MADE THE EAR~H A MUCH MORE HABITA
BLE PLACE than it was in the prescientific ages.
