IT’S A FACT—ABOUT FICTION.
Most people read fiction now-a-days—and most peo
ple who talk about fiction at all have the idea there is being
poured out upon us each year a flood of fiction.
But, to the surprise of most, if there ever was a ‘flood
of fiction” it is at ebb tide—and ebbing strong.
In 1895 20.3 per cent of books published was fiction.
Last year’s figures show only 8.91 per cent fiction.
This gives rise to interesting questions. Are we be
coming more “intellectual”? Are we getting to be more
“solid” and matter-of-fact? Don’t the thrillers “get” us
they used to?
Anyway, a growing percentage of books deal with
sober, serious fact, and the good old heart-throb plot that
thickens is on the wane.
It is interesting to note that the decline has been grad
ual since 1895—and so it can’t be laid to the war, as most
everything else is.
PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
Out in Los Angeles some gopd Americans formed an or
ganization called the “Practical Patriots League.” They
adopted as their slogan two lines which everyone of us might
well take seriously to heart:
“If you can’t be the behind the Gun,
Be the Man behind the Nan behind the Gun.”
This doesn’t mean slinking in soft ease behind the pro
tection of the Man behind the Gun. It doesn’t mean letting
George do it. It doesn’t mean slothful cowardice or criminal
indifference.
It means that you shall do a man’s part toward helping
the Man behind the Gun. It means that you shall do all you
can to make effective the Man behind the Gun. You can
help by raising food. You can help by cutting out waste.
You can help by increasing the output of munitions. You
can help by keeping the industrial wheels going around.
You can help by giving part of your money to the government
so that the Man behind the Gun may be properly clothed
and fed and armed and transported. You can help by sup
porting the Red Cross so that if the Man behind the Gun is
wounded he wil get all proper care.
Don’t be a slacker—help.
THE CORPORATION OF KANSAS.
“Business as Usual” is no longer a good enough slogan
for public business in Kansas. “Better Business” is the
new motto.
July 1 Kanas will refuse to longer, regard the adminis
trative department of the state as an eleemosynary institu
tion for the distribution of political plums. The state plans
to go on a business basis.
Progressive Kansas is organizing along the lines of the
most successful corporate management. The governor will
act as president of the corporation of Kansas. He will ap
point three directors, and they will choose a business mana
ger and have power to discharge him if he does not conduct
the state business satisfactorily and efficiently.
This extends the commissioner-manager plan of city
government to a larger area. The rest of the country is
going to keep an eye on the experiment. There are cities
having an annual budget larger than that of Kansas where
the scheme is working. Gov. Capper has senatorial ambi
tions and his influence will be behind the plan. The first
board is made up of a successful college president, a former
governor, and the president of the state league of munici
palities. It will have a fair trial. It ought to result in
added efficiency of administration and important savings
in salaries and expenes.
Managership of a state is a man-sized job. It is un
fortunate that the legislature restricted the choice to Kan
sas and limited the salary to SSOOO a year. It is the sort
of constructive work that attracts big men; but probably
Kansas can supply one of proper caliber. A really ambi
tious man has an opportunity to make a name for himself.
Good luck to the corporation of Kansas.

Flour Is selling at approximately sls

Measured by the highest price at
which wheat has actually sold this
year and making allowance for mill

profits to everybody concerned In
manufacture and distribution, flour
should be selling at $0 a barrel. This
means that a tax of more than $60,-

American people for flour alone
t'unadlan wheat la produced under
the same economic conditions ns Am

much to transport It. Yet bread which

likely to turn upon the skill and ef

Germans Mistreat Spaniards
Brutality to Prisoners In Submarine and
Prison Camp.
Eight Spanish seamen belonging to
the crew of the British ship Gravina,
which wan torpedoed and sunk on Feb
ruary 7. have been MUt hack to Bar
celona after spending 12 days in the sub
mirini ;tn<i nearly a month m a German
prison camp. Judging from the report
of their experiences, as given by Reuter,
they were treated with the usual Ger
man brutality, both In the submarine,
which i« Htatcd to have been ÜBl, and
at the prison camp at Brandenburg.
The survivor* of the Gravina had been
in the water, keeping themselves afloat
by clinging to bales of corkwood for half
an hour before the submarine came up
to them. Many of the crew were on Its
platform looking at the crew and laugh
ing at their struggles. No effort was
made to save them until the submarine
officers had photographed those in the
water. Having been got on board, the
men were sent below through the after
hatch to the part of the submarine used
for discharging torpedoes and storing
ammunition. Here they found the cap
tains of two Knglish steamers sunk by
the same submarine. The Germans fore*
ed their prisoners to load the torpedo.
They ohened the chamber of the tube,
and made the seamen lift the torpedo and
put It In. Afterward* they have the
order to fire, ami after a few seconds
of anxiety there was a formidable ex

(By J. H. Duckworth.)
New York. —While forts, mines, battle,
ships and air squadrons guard New York,
the nation’s solar plexus, this town’s
monied spenderei are setting new paces
in their orgy of senseless, wasteful ex
travagance.
Gorged with war profits, they too gold
away with reckless abandon, while the
professionals whose business it is to
fleece their profits away reap ever great
er winnings under the guise—God save
the mark!—of patriotism!
New* York these days reminds me of
London in the fall of 1914, when the rule
was "Business as usual." But New York,
blase and braxen, outdoes London, rival
ing the Rome of Nero's time.
Recruiting officers harangue crowds
from the Hteps of the public library. They
get recruits—yes. they get recruits. But
not as many as they should get in com
parison with other cities, smaller cities of
the west.
New York's patriotism is loudest, not
In the recruiting offices, but in the lob
ster palaces.
In these gilded resorts are cabarets
and "revues' featuring women and girls
half-clad in the Stars and Stripes, while
waters of Heligoland. The port where
we landed was not very large. There
were about a dosen submarines and four
or five destroyers there, but all the quays
arid jetties bristled with seamen with
bayonets fixed."
The camp where the crew of the Gra*
vina were interned is described as an
immense enclosure, surrounded by huts
and with street* of wire.
Three days after arrival in camp (the
Spaniard relates), we were awakened by
cries of the Hus; tans who slept in the
hut. Are had broken out In one hut anart
from the others, which served as a dun
geon where they shut up prisoners who
were rebellious. That day six Russians,
one Frenchman, and one Englishman
were undergoing this punishment. The
prisoners called to be let out. but in vain.
The sentry remained unmoved. No doubt
ho was awaiting orders from his super
iors. Those inside the dungeon were be
ing stifled The F.nglishman broke the
panes of a small window with the ides
of freeing himself snd his romi>aninns.
The sentry seeing him leaning out of
the window, gave him a tremendous bay
onet thrust In the chest The wounded
man fell like lead A small but revolt

oners attempted to get out. and the tier

and again with the blood of the men shut

not be extinguished by the other prison
ers until it had done Its work The eight
unhappy Individuals who occupied the
dungeon were corpses.
During the Arst three or four day* we
did nothing but sleep, but on the fourth
day they made u* go to work like the
rest of the prisoner# of war. They sent
us to a station to drag about carts and
wagons The dnnkeyman Pedro Garcia

Stage representations of Lincoln,
Washington, Grant and of Wilson, Persh

light amongst settings of fair maid-ens

And still not all is sordid, for parties
turned out of the cabarets at 1 a. m.. the
new closing time, have been seen to
watch with bared heads and reverent
faces the passing of the Salvation Army.
Liberty loan and recruiting posters on
Broadway are half-hidden by gaudy an
nouncements of summer tango roofs,
aesthetic cabarets and exclusive "clubs"
w’here the wealthy "may dance in bare
feet in a shallow tank of water."
At night the Great White Way is more
blatantly Illuminated than ever. There
is a new electric'advertisement contain

is a city block long.
All theaters are doing a roaring busi

accompanying It with expressive ges

ply to this was eight or ten blows. The
Spanish blood and the dignity of the man
made him look very menacing and then
they beat him until he was. done. There
was no other way out; It was either work
or die.
One day we were present at a scene
which was celebrated with great rejoic
ing in all the camp. An English seaman,
who already had one eye blind as a re
sult of blows they had given him on a
previous occasion, refused to obey two
officers who ordered him to go to work.
They reviled one another mutually, and
Anally the Englishman invited them to
Aght, giving them such punches that as
a consequence we saw them for days
afterwards with their heads bandaged
The German soldiers were the Arst to
scoff at the cowardice of their super
iors. The English sailor was condemned
to bread and water until the end of the
war.
On April 14 the eight Spanish seamen
were entrained for the Swiss frontier
where they were set at liberty by thelf
German guards.
Rill Hawkins, a rather distinctive
character, who had never achieved any
great success along any line, got a
Job with the local trolley company.
He had worked about five days, and
worked hard, aa a conductor, as he whs
determined to "make good.” Ho really
liked the work snd found It worth
while. One afternoon as he was step
ping off his car at the division office
he saw a crowd of cheerful conductors
standing around "What’s up. hoys?
A strike?" hA questioned anxiously.
"Nope," came the laconic reply of
freshments," although the "lid" is clamp
ed dowm hard at 1 a. m.
But underneath all this wealthy veener
of light-heartedness is a solid foundation
of grim seriousness and patriotism.
The bulk of the people realize that
these are no frivolous times. Harrassed
housewives, constantly contending with
rising food prices have no illusions about
the pinch of war. *
No sooner w r as the selective service
registration completed than the city com
