HISTORICAL SKETCH

By Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor

During the fateful year when the world began to war, Mr.
John M. Stahl, our treasurer, conceived the venturesome idea
of gathering the writers of the state of Illinois together
under the sponsorship of the Writers' Guild, his purpose
having been to form them into a state society of authors.

None but a bold man would have sought to weld such
individualistic — dare I say egotistic? — creatures as authors
into a society of any sort; yet Mr. Stahl plied his typewriter
so assiduously during the summer of the year 1914 that a
goodly proportion of the gifted of the gods were induced to
attend a dinner given for them at the Auditorium Hotel on
the evening of November 28th by the Writers' Guild — or
rather by Mr. Stahl, its insistent President, my suspicion be-
ing that in his hands the Guild was as pliant as we authors.

To silence Mr. Stahl and his typewriter we came, albeit
dubiously, only to find that he and Douglas Malloch, his
valiant coadjutor, had distributed the limelight so tactfully
that we became contented components of a harmonious
whole. Yet harmonious is not the mot juste for the occas-
ion, I fear, Hamlin Garland having been there in forensic
majesty. Bent upon broadening Mr. Stahl's parochial idea,
this doughty champion of the Middle West orated unabat-
ingly until the domain of the proposed society had been so
extended as to include within it all that vast region of the
land lying north of the Ohio River and between the Alle-
ghanies and the Rockies.

Being temperamentally adverse to the term "Middle
West," I mildly suggested the word "Midland" between
flights of Mr. Garland's eloquence, and for my unwonted in-
terference was elected to bear upon my shoulders the weight
of the new Society's chairmanship. Indeed, vdthout any of

4

us knowing precisely how it happened, we authors of the
Commonwealth of Illinois, whom Mr. Stahl's persistence
had brought together and Mr. Malloch's tact had placated,
became so fired by Mr. Garland's enthusiasm that we re-
solved ourselves into a Society of Midland Authors, pledged
to recruit our ranks to full war strength from those of our
fellow craftsmen in eleven other states of the Union.

After thus upsetting Mr. Stahl's good intention, Mr. Gar-
land fled precipitously to effete Manhattan, where in all but
sentiment he has ceased to be a Midland Author. Howso-
ever dire his action may have seemed to Mr. Stahl, it has
been justified by the success attained by the Society, — a suc-
cess due, I believe, to the loyalty and wisdom of its direc-
tors. Having resided in remote places during the greater
portion of my incumbency of the Presidential ofifice, I can-
not take credit to myself for the work of recruiting and or-
ganizing the Society. I know, nevertheless, how deeply the
Society is beholden to:

Mary Aldis Clara E. Laughlin

Edwin Balmer Vachel Lindsay

Lilian Bell Douglas Malloch

Clara Louise Burnham Harriet Monroe

George Fitch Randall Parrish

Alice French Ella W. Peattie

Hamlin Garland John M. Stahl

Alice Gerstenberg Maude Radford Warren

Emerson Hough Edith Wyatt

As the Society's first President and now its Historian, I
take pleasure in inscribing their names in alphabetical order
upon this, its Golden Book, since to them more than to all
others its success is due, they having been its most willing
and efficient workers.

Though the achievements of the Society are gratifying, I
suspect that both Mr. Stahl and Mr. Garland aimed to make

of it a more austere organization than it has become. But
authors are "onery critters" and therefore difificult to drive.
Moreover, to expect them to prepare masterful creations
merely to read to each other, when millions of readers are
crying for their wares and affluent publishers with cheque
books lying open before them wax impatient at their desks,
is to demand too much of human nature. Indeed, those wise
men and women whose names I have recorded saw both the
futility and absurdity of boring the members of the Society
of Midland Authors with the reading of sempiternal papers
on which no royalties are paid. Morever, being authors
themselves, they knew that even authors, if they can be
caught unawares and induced to unbend, like to play and
make good cheer, not only at Christmas ibut at other seemly
times; hence "a closer association among writers of the
Middle West" was declared to be the Society's prime object.

It is true that "the stimulation of creative literary effort"
is a secondary tenet of its creed; yet how may authors be
inspired better than by meeting each other and swapping
ideas?

As Historian of the Society, I am gratified to find that
there is a little of an uplifting nature to record and much
that is joyful and humanizing. We Midlanders do assemble
once a year, it is true, to listen to pajpers read by fellow
members; but even these solemn occasions have proved far
from depressing; for instead of being bored by "high-brow"
sapience we have been diverted by the pleasing wit of
Alice French, Meredith Nicholson, Randall Parrish, George
Ade, Emerson Hough, Zona Gale, and Margaret Hill Mc-
Carter

Even at the last annual meeting, when the death of our
beloved Honorary President made personal reminiscenes of
him the order of the day, we did not wear long faces or
pass stilted resolutions. On the contrary, we just sat to-
gether in a friendly group while Clara EaughHn, Edith

6

Wyatt, and Harriet Monroe told us human stories of James
Whitcomb Riley's lovableness and quaintness.

But the annual meeting is the only formal conclave of the
year, and even that is followed by sufficient cheer and wel-
come to make what Shakespeare calls a "merry feast."

Decked in paper motley, we then devour the roast beef
of old England and quaff October ale; or, in more homely
guise, eat pork and beans and pumpkin pie until the hard
cider which has washed them down begins to tingle in our
toes. Then we must needs dance a reel to the tune of ''Old
Dan Tucker," till the perspiring fiddler will bow no more.

No, there is but little wisdom and false philosophy in the
Society of Midland Authors, and much that is human and
edifying, even our annual meetings being far from staid
events. In the winter time, however, we gather at such Bo-
hemian places as Mme. Galli's, the Bismarck Garden, or De
Jonghe's French restaurant; while in summer we hie either
to Lake Forest for a sylvan outing or to the Chicago lawn of
our charming Secretary, whenever wandering Thespians
raise their trestles there.

Indeed, if the Society of Midland Authors has a just
reason for being, it lies, I repeat, in its avowed purpose of
bringing the writers of the Middle West together in closer
association. Though a society of authors, it is nevertheless
free from cant and prejudice, the creation of both friend-
ship and goodfellowship among the men and women of the
Middle West who write for a living being the object for
which it was founded. 'Because of this it differs from other
societies of its kind and plays, I fondly believe, a useful
as well as pleasing part in the life of this workaday por-
tion of the land.

CONSTITUTION OF THE SOCIETY OF MIDLAND
AUTHORS

I. NAME

The name of this association shall be THE SOCIETY

Directors shall appoint a nominating committee of five mem-
bers who shall prepare a ticket of all ofificers to be elected
for the ensuing year, this constituting the regular ticket to
be voted on at the annual meeting. An independent ticket
or tickets may be put in the field upon the signed request
of fifteen members. Two weeks before the annual meeting
the Secretary shall send the ticket or tickets to all members,

At a meeting of the Officers and Directors of the Society
of Midland Authors, held September 27, 1917, the following
amendment to the Constitution, VIII., Qualifications, para-
graph 1, was proposed:

The 'Board of Directors shall constitute the Committee on
Membership, a majority vote constituting election. Any one
member of the Society may present a candidate, but each
candidate must have the endorsement of at least two other
members. Any proposal for membership shall be sent to the
Secretary. Each Director shall be notified by mail of such
intended election. Vote on such membership may be taken
at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors. Each
Director shall be required to attend such meeting or vote by
mail. A failure to reply to the Secretary will be deemed an
affirmative vote.

Any writer, resident within the twelve states enumerated
above, who is the author of a book of poetry, fiction, history,
biography, travel, or criticism, published in the regular
course of trade, or who is the author of a play produced
by professional players on a public stage, shall be eligible
to membership. Writers of books privately printed, or of
books on legal, medical, political, theological, scientific, or
technical subjects, or of pamphlets, cannot be considered
qualified thereby for membership.

But the membership committee by unanimous vote may
elect to membership any candidate who, in its judgment, has
achieved distinction as a contributor to magazines.

IX. AMENDMENTS

or meeting called for the purpose, by two-thirds vote of the
memibers present; upon the recommendation of the Advisory
Council; or upon request in writing of twenty-five members.

the amendment proposed at least thirty days before the meet-
ing at which it is to be considered, with notice of said
meeting.

X, INTERPRETATION

The interpretation and application of this constitution shall
rest with the Board of Directors.
