TIIK Claru Smith Ifamoii murder trial is ove r, for wliii-h many
thanks. I-'or a wi'uk it lias overshadowed every other event in
tin; world's news, from the revolt in Kussia to the oeeuputiou alont;
the JUiine. And in many quarters newspapers are eondeinned for
smearinj; their front pages with details of a sordid crime, which in
the opinion of the morally fastidious, only appeal to the lower and
oaser passions.
Vliy is it? Does one find the answer in the l"pravity of the press?
We doulit it. Neither newspaper editors, or news service directors,
distribute the details of such an affair, from anv impulse of scif-;rrati-
lieation. They merely follow the olli;ratiou of their trade, which is
to supply the pulilic with news, that is, with items which the puhlie
demand, renders news.
And tic ( l,;ia Hamon trial was news. It was lir news for a va
riety of reasons. In the first place it came during a lull. There was
no nevix competition. The main events in the European drama were
over, with tin' rrcMiient s message delivered, everytlimg was ipuel
in Washington. The hoards were cleared, so to speak, for Clara.
Jo the next place this case contained in a peculiar sense, those ele
ments of human and dramatic interest, which appeal and as long as
human iialurc remains what it is, will appeal to the rani; and file of
mankind. True the eternal triangle is as old as the l'yramids, and
the human drama involved not only has heeii enacted since the Flood,
but is heiiig enacted every now and then in every corner of the world.
Irom (I'opher I'tairie lo d'allipoli.
Why then should the Smit h-.Iones drama nevr emerge from lo
cal obscurity while this Ilamon drama, essentially identical, should
flash from coast lo coast and even across the sea 1
The answer is, the prominence of the principals. Ilamon was a
man of wealth, and power. And because he was that, his tragedy
attained that reality, which is impossible when only the Smiths and
the .Jones are concerned.
And that factor of reality gave the Ilamon trial, the one element
it needed lo phice it front stage, as news. The world is not inti r
csled in anonymity. And only prominence, as possessed by the Ila
mons, I he Thaws, the Stillmaus and the Stokes, can destroy this
anonymily.
So wiih the element of reality achieved. Hie Ilamon murder, took
its place, not only with the great criminal cases of the day. bill au
tomatically achieved that dramatic, unity, which has given certain
examples of literature permanence, from the Assyrian annals cut in
slone, through the (ireck tragedies, to the modern problem plays, and
linlike many of its predecessors t In? Ilamon drama was extremely
moral, teaching without, mitigating delails, the time-honored truth
that the wages of sin is death.

cd my fountain pen and found some fools

women too. I'll chronicle their tiresome deeds, the tiresome,
things they say; 'twill he so dull the sport who reads will throw

"Oh, let, the public hangman cook so punk and fierce a tale!"
Hut hook reviewers, bulging-browed, will praise it, line by line;
they'll say, "One hook above Ihe crowd stands forth, sublime and
fine. The lale begins where it should end, and ends where it
should start; no heroes through ils pages wend, no villains grieve
the heart; it has no action and no plot, no motive can he found;
and yet the volume hits the spot, its technique is so sound. This
is no talc of blood and bones, lmt. one in which we find the soul
of I'ete Augustus .Jones described as 'twas designed." If yon
are tired of stirring tales where villains get the hook and virtue
in the end prevails, wait till I write my hook.
