WKI.LS fust emerged on the literary Horizon, an it simmer of Heientifit! fairy tulcs. lie made a name as an English Jules Verne. The second installment of his Saturday Kveniiir Post series, shows that he has never lost the facility of fanciful exposition, and his "salvage of the world" might be termed a frank return to his initial manner. In this second installment the author of "New Worlds for Old," unifies and elucidates his cosmic system into a I'nited States of the world. Civilization is to be saved, not by a League of Nations, but by an obliteration of all nations and tin amalgamation of all. races and all nations, into one super-nation. 1 The essential clarity and sanity of the author's intellectual pro cesses, emerge sufficiently toward the end of the article, for him to pause with the query as to whether or not, what he has said is merely rubbish. As a romantic speculation it isn't, any more than the Arabian Nights or Grimms Kairy tales, but as a practical program for serious application today, it is; and unless we are much mis taken, will be so considered by the public ut large, if the public ut large consider it at till. JIr. Wells isn't a freak. He possesses at once the most versatile and penetrating intellect, in the literary world of today. Hut he is essentially literary, lie is primarily the artist, and the reconstruction he seeks to accomplish, must be evolved not in the world of imagi nation, but in the hum drum world of reality and fact. His error lies, we believe, not in his analysis, which places the ills of today upon somewhat artificial national distinctions, largely the product of an antiquated tradition, and imperfect educational system, but in his as sumption, that such distinctions cmi be easily removed, and that an entirely new and revolutionary political concept can be accepted over night. The United States of the world is coming some day, perhaps in less than a thousand years. Hut the event is so remote, that one be lieves Mr. Wells could better devote his talents today, to working out practical methods of feeding the world, as it is, rather than in trans forming it into what in this century ut least, it can never be. ; The human trait that makes competing nations, goes back to the jungle. In a million years it has probably changed but little. The Di plodocus fought the Stcgosaurus, uot because there was any essential difference between them, but because there was a superficial difference, because Dipy had a seventeen-foot tail, perhaps and Stegy's tail was only seven. They fought because of some vague primitive urge, based apparently upon the realization that Dipys were not Stegys and Slegy.s were not Dipys. And their descendants have been fighting ever since, from the time of the Antrapoid Ape up to the Chicago race riots. There is something, we don't know what, which makes every living organism hostile to any similar organism which is not identical. It may be the stylo of a tail, the make of n torso, the language or the complexion, whatever it is, it reacts on the individual as the red rag on tho bull frog, and the merry struggle goes on. Mr. Wells would eliminate all this by calling it needless, whiclj it may be, but how in Heaven's name will he. convince the Greek and the Turk, the Germaii und the Frenchman, the white and the red, the yel low and the black! To us it looks like a problem not for Mr. Wells, 'hut for the evolution of the ages. And the ages, like the mills of the Gods, grind slowly, so slowly that the average man in the street, and he is the determining factor in all fundamental changes, will we fear, dismiss Mr. Wells' articles as a waste of time. Unless he should still be interested in fairy tales, which of course is entirely another matter. MfT 1YW 1 ..jJI RED NOSES. J11IN HAliLKYCOHN is planted, the law bus put him out; no tanglefoot is granted to any thirsty scout; no barkeep bauds the bitters, the bourbon or the rye, to any human critters, as tlrouthy months go by. But oh, the crimson noses I see upon the street as red as any roses that make the summer sweet! Where do they get their tinting, their bright autumnal hue, since vint ners are not viuting, and brewers do iiot brew? The barkeeps are not flinging the glasses as of yore; the doors that once were swinging, swing in no more; John Barleycorn is busted his graft is past anil gone, the old brass rail is rusted, there is no dfmi.john. Hut oh, the crimson noses that through the ether plow ! The looker-on supposes they should be bleached by now'. They should be fair and whiter than is the driven snow, since Barleycorn, the blighter, was slain long months ago. There should be no such noses, since Barleycorn is dead, 'but every hour discloses new shades of blooming red. Oh, can it be that water will tint the hu man beak, as well as stuff that's hotter the booze men used to seek" And can il be that drinking dojvn where the streamlet flows, will paint a fellow's blilikiug aud. blooming, blistered nose'.'
