...largely, and at last entirely, of the condiment of Surprise. It is pleasant to remark that the influence of this absurd literary mountebank has finally waned, if not vanished. The two stories in the present Advocate, which I take as typical, are transitional; the old short-story formula is gone; the new is still in the making. Both pieces of work suffer from this lack of a guiding convention; the fancy is too unrestrained; the narrative elements are too scattered.

Delay would be the best solution of the problem. If the bill were forced to wait six months there would be but little likelihood of its passage. The President's proposal will insure this delay, for should the idea of the sales tax be gone into at any length it is sure to meet with such opposition as to preclude its acceptance. The agricultural bloc does not want it, the Democrats do not want it, nobody wants it. Discussion of the bonus, then, must lead to a fight over the sales tax in which the bonus itself will become...
