Adams for
_The Tribune_, called "The Conning Tower," and Christopher Morley
for the New York _Evening Post_, called "The Bowling Green."
Perhaps the unsigned "Way of the World" in our _Morning Post_ is
the nearest London correlative.
These columns are managed with skill and catholicity, and they impart an
element of graciousness and fancy into what might otherwise be too
materialistic a budget. A journalist, like myself, is naturally
delighted to find editors and a vast public so true to their writing
friends. Very few English editors allow their subscribers the
opportunity of establishing such steady personal relations; and in
England, in consequence, the signed daily contribution from one literary
hand is very rare--to an American observer probably mysteriously so. The
daily cartoon is common with us; but in London, for example, I cannot
think of any similar literary feature that is signed in full. We have
C.E.B.'s regular verse in the _Evening News_ and "The Londoner's"
daily essay in the same paper, and various initials elsewhere; but, with
us, only the artists are allowed their names. Now, in America every
name, everywhere, is blazoned forth.
Whatever bushel measures may be used for in the United States the
concealing of light is no part of their programme.
Another feature of American daily journals comparatively unknown in
England is the so-called comic pictorial sequence.
