Abstract

Editorials

This article presents information on various socio-political and administrative developments in the U.S. and from around the world. One of them being a report on Canadian copyright law. No one has blundered more than humorist Mark Twain, who made a trip there in search of a copyright for a new book which he is bringing out. As a humorist Mark Twain must enjoy the account given of his attempts to get protection for his property, though as a literary man he may wish that the law of the subject was in a condition which would make the security greater and the fun less uproarious. Another being a decline in the observance of New Year's Day by "Society" in New York which has at length reached a point at which its traditional customs may be said to have no longer any obligatory force.
