Too Much Production of Verse With Too
Little Appreciation of It
By ALFRED NOYES. English Poet
POETRY is steadily gaining in popularity. Re
cently I met a nian who is tremendously inter
ested in verse, lie is a manufacturer, and last
vear when he was in England lie made a SPECIAL
TRIP TO THE HOME OF A GREAT CRITIC
MERELY TO TALK TO IIIM ABOUT POETRY.
And the critic said to him, "Yon are the third Amer
ican manufacturer who lias conic to talk poetry with
me this week, and 1 don't see the connection." Well,
| we are very soon about to see that connection.
THE STUDENT SHOULD WRITE VERSE IF HE
J REALLY HAS THE POETIC INCLINATION. OTHER
: WISE IT IS SIMPLY A WASTE OF TIME. THERE IS
TOO MUCH PRODUCTION OF vtnoc ainu iuu i -
Photo by American TLE APPRECIATION OF IT. WE ARE CONTENT TO
resa -soca.on. ADM|^£ SCULPTURE WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO
CREATE IT. V/E SHOULD REGmRD POETRY IN THE SAME WAY. WE
SHOULD STOP THE GREAT WASTE OF ENERGY WHICH COMES FROM
VAIN EFFORTS TO WRITE VERSE ON THE PART OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE NO REAL REASON TO MAKE THE ATTEMPT.
Minds of College Trained Men Back of
Corruption In American Cities
By Rabbi STEPHEN S. WISE oi New York
IN the forces of corrupt government ti: 're have been found within the
last generation almost as many recruits from the colleges as ranged
themselves under the banner of good .-overument. The minds of
too many COLLEGE TRAINED J!EX ilAVE BEEN BACK OF
THE CORRUPTION that has disgrac 1 the life of American munici
palities.
*. * «
SOME OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND CROOKED POLITICAL BOSSES
OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN SERVED AND PERPETUATED IN POWER
THROUGH THEIR ALLIANCE WITH POLITICALLY PLIABLE AND MOR
ALLY FLEXIBLE COLLEGE MEN, WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR POW
ERS, SUCH AS THEY ARE, TO THINGS THAT ARE EVIL AND UNHOLY.
fe * y
The college men of America ought to leave a DEEP IMPRESS
UPON THE SOCIAL LIFE OF THE NATION so that what they
think today shall be prophetic of that vrhi h w to deepen down into tin
life and aspirations of the common on the narrow.
THREE OLD DEPUTIES
MAY BE REAPPOINTED j
Although Marshal Harry A.
Bishop Is not yet in a position to
announce Uis choice for deputy
marshals to serve undir him, the |
numerous rumors which have gone (
afloat in this connectiou have led j
political students to believe that (
Deputy Marshal Hector McLean and ^
William Fels of Juneau and Jack II-,
Davies of Ketchikan will be re- (
appointed, and that Thomas Cole.
M. Bradford and C. F. Cheek will
be given places on Mr. Bishop's
staff if they desire them.
Marshal Bishop has entered upon
tho duties of his official position !
with an alacrity that emphasized ;
lus appreciation of the Importance
of his office. He was busy today in
his office, familiarizing himself with
the routine details. Former Mar
shal H. L. Faulkner has willingly1
loaned his assistance to his sue- <
cessor in learning the work Mr.
Bishop faces, and with this aid the I
no.w marshal should bo wearing his
official harness without burden In
a very short time.—Jjneau Dis

had been 11 days enroute between
that place and Carcross.
The Humboldt on its last voyage

is thought that the vessel will keep
pretty clost- to a nine day schedule
for the remainder of the summer.

Alaskan Residents Must Learn
The Importance of Keeping
Them Well.
Perfect health means that every I
organ of the body is perjorming its
function properly.
Perfect health cannot ?>e enjoyed :
if the kidneys are weak and dis-1
ordered.
Thousands testify that Doan's j
Kidney Pills have a reviving action
on weak kidneys.
What this remedy has ('one in &'•>
many cases of this kind i3 the bosi
proof of its merit
Read the following. Its testimony |
gratefully given by a resident of I
this locality:
H. J. Durfee, Bos 341/, Lynden,
Wash., says: "I was troubled by
my kidneys off and on for years. |
If I caught a slight cold, it always
settled in the kidneys. My back,
Lo, became very lame, veak and
painful. Finally, on a friend's ad-1
vice, I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and in a few days the trouble
reft. I know many persons who have
been benefited by Doan's Kidney
Pills."
