Unless "stabilizing methods" had been employed, varying from the picturesque operations and announcements of Mr. Livermore (TIME, Nov. 12) to the steel extra dividend (TIME, Nov. 12) and kindred occurrences, business would probably have deteriorated until this Spring, have been dull all Summer and started up in the Fall. The Presidential election, despite assertions to the contrary, would have small influence on this. Owing to "stabilization," conditions are superficially better than we would expect at this time, but practically worse, since a real housecleaning in our business structure was needed.

There is a curious resemblance between this relic of past life and certain relics of present life now in the making. There have grown up in the shadow of Flaubert with his dull and unfortunate M. Bovary a race of writers who call themselves "realists." These Realists have much in common with our Imagist poets, especially in the common method of transcribing rather than transmuting whatever of sight or sound or smell comes to them through their senses. This photographic process, which eliminates the emotions and sympathies of the author, has at present the resource of shocking the public into...
