Mr. Balfour on Literature. The achievement of the succes sor may have boon grest becaus the greater genius of the pion may have hewed out the road which his successor only has to But whether the gonias
follow of the succossor is greater or not is a question largely determined by, what wo call accident only be Cause we do not know the laws which govern the appearance of gonius in the world." Fordday," for example, has perhaps had no successor gronter than himself, although the achievements of electrical engineering based on his initial researchos are infinite- ly greater in volume than any nocomplished by him. Shakes- penre, again, could not have been
age of Piors Plowman. But it was not the intellectual stir of the Elizabethan ago that produced Shakespeare and his works; it” was the incomparable genius that nature gave him. Bo this as it may, however, Mr. Balfour is no K TRAMWAYA O. doubt right in bidding us not to forget the forerunners. Perhaps from this point of view we may chorish a kindly feeling even for Post-Impressionists and Futuris's.

The Plague Scourge
A correspondent expressos the opinion that the measures so far adopted have utterly failed. While we would not be prepared to go so far, although we have had experience of the anti-rat orusado in our own premises which makes us think bitterly, we do consider that the meaepres are unaystematic and incompleto, duo na muoli to the luck of whole- hearted co-operation on the part of the community as to any deri leotion that might be charged against those whose duty it is to see the business through. Sys- tom in dealing with this impor-. tant matter could be obtained by- boginning on the higher lovels and gradually working down through the city to the harbour, the work embracing the removal of ceilings and hollow walls, tho alling up of rat runs, a gene ral houso to houso cleansing and last but not lost the unification of the drainage system.

Presidency is not gonerally view- ed very favourably by Americans, however, apparently in view of the very large powers given to the President and the desi- rability that these powers should receive popular sano- tion at intervals aufficiently close to prevent the Presidency becoming a Dictatorship. It is true that it has now become the rule for Presidents to serve two terms in office, but this custom does not preclude an alection at the end of the first term, when the President may be relieved of office if he has not justified tho hopes of the nation. The differ- ence between four years and six
COVERS years, however, hardly seems sufficient to allow of the inception of the evils feared, while a length. oning of the term, even by two years, would be a material gain to the stability of the business world,
