Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS SUFFERING BECOMES BEAUTIFUL, WHEN ANY ONE BEARS GREAT CALAMITIES WITH CHEERFULNESS, NOT THROUGH INSENSIBILITY, BUT THROUGH GREAT NESS OF MIND.—ARISTOTLE. NO POLITICS FOR NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL Politics and the Attorney General's office will be divorced under his administration, is the assurance given by Harlan F. Stone, the newly-appointed Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Stone assumes a very wholesome and commendable attitude in this. When a man goes into an exalted position like the chief-tainey of the national Department of Justice, he should lay politics aside. There is time and place for everything. But in serving all the people as Attorney General there is no time or place properly for political activities in such exalted official station. The thought and services of the Attorney General, while he holds office, belong to all the people, not to any one political party. This is an attitude and status upon which the people should insist at all times. Official life at Washington should be divested of its partisan atmosphere. There should be more patriotism—more broad Americanism there. It is misfortune, not Miss Fortune, that is travelling with the American army world flyers. But fortune may favor them later. Assist in protecting California forests against fire. These wooded areas are assets of inestimable value. Reputations have low rating in Washington official life, these frenzied days. A campaign of scandals would be shameful, this Presidential year. The salvation of the world lies in the moral character of the individual. Assist in protecting California forests against fire. These wooded areas are assets of inestimable value. Reputations have low rating in Washington official life, these frenzied days. A campaign of scandals would be shameful, this Presidential year. The salvation of the world lies in the moral character of the individual. Do your part to protect the wonderful forests of California against fire. This is sure to be a year of great independence of voting, in national politics. Each and every part of the Constitution of the United States should be respected and obeyed. If Congress does not function better, the voters will do some functioning of their own, in November. Be kind to animals. You thereby show yourself to be refined and merciful in nature.

They little thought how pure light, With years should gather roar that day; How love should keep their morals bright, How wide a realm their sails should sway. Green are their bays; but green still Shall round their spread fame be wreathed, And regions, now untrod, sh thrill With reverence, when the names are breathed. Till where the sun, with soft fires, Looks on the vast Pacific sleep, The children of the pilgrim sit This hallowed day like us shall keep. —William Cullen Bryant.

WE OFFER (Su WHEN THE SKIES FALL AND THE LEOPARD CHANGES ITS SPOTS ABE MARTIN PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLLEN It may be possible to save civilization, but it doesn't seem reasonable. Still, the hold-up man doesn't help matters by scolding you for being hysterical. When a king writes a note renouncing a throne, it is seldom a note of finality. Times change, but even yet there are preachers who preach along religious lines. If scopolamin can get the truth out of a man, it should be referred to as "she." The only chance some men get to feel heroic is when they let a sitting quail have both barrels. A writer says that all pests we know troubled Adam. His wife's relatives didn't, however. The Japs didn't lick Australia; for excluding them; perhaps they won't be too hard on us. Nothing is wasted. Even the garden that is forsaken provides a market for liniment. If a reader of headlines doesn't believe in prayer, he hasn't much left to believe in. No man is fit to judge his fellows until he has learned humility by making an ass of himself. We can't help wondering why the devil didn't think to drive the neighbor's chickens into Job's garden. Mrs. Em Nugent has a letter from her son, who's in jail at Kokomo sayin' he's goin' t saw out jest as soon as ther's enough prisoners t form a quartet. A mother's first duty is t her home an' family, an' then it don't make any difference whether she's a Democrat or a Republican.

THOMSON For infant feeding, better frow's milk than cow's milk. A man is said to be prosperous when he begins to collect house rent and gout remedies. "The boy of today'll live twelve years more Than fell to the lot of his daddy before;" That's what they say, but many a lad Is living too fast to outlive his dad. We dug a ditch and drained the pool To cheat the darn moskeeter; It costs a lot, when daughter's slick, To have the doctor treat 'er. "Sunshine, passed through a reading glass, will burn a hole in the object upon which it is focused": Moonshine, passed through a drinking glass, will do the same thing." POE'S GLEANINGS OF WHAT USE IS POETRY? THE MERIT OF POETRY, in its wildest forms, consisted to Macaulay in its truth—truth conveyed to the understanding, not directly by the words, but circuitously by means of imaginative associations, which serve as its conductors. Macaulay held that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem produced in a civilized age. Matthew Arnold, confusion of whom with Beniedict Arnold, it seems, enabled Mr. Henry Ford to pile up more fame, believed. "The future of poetry is immense, because in poetry, where it is worthy of its high destinies, our race, as time goes on, will find an ever surer and surer stay. There is not a creed which is not shaken, not an accredited dogma which is not shown, to be questionable, not a received tradition which does not threaten to dissolve. Our religion has materialized itself in the fact, and now the fact is falling it. But for poetry the idea is everything, the rest is a world of illusion, of divine illusion. Poetry attaches its emotion to the idea; the idea is the fact. The strongest part of our religion today is its unconscious poetry." Arnold is notable among modern men of letters as being almost equally distinguished in poetry and prose. It has been said of his essay on the study of Poetry that perhaps no single critical document contributed so many phrases to the literary vocabulary of its time, or has stimulated so many readers to the use of lofty and definite standards of judgment. In it he avers: "We should conceive of poetry worthily, and more highly than it has been the custom to conceive of it. We should conceive of it as capable of higher uses, and called to higher destinies, than those which in general men have assigned to it hitherto. More and more mankind will discover that we have to turn to poetry to interpret life for us, to console us, to sustain us. Without poetry, our science will appear incomplete; and most of what now passes with us for religion and philosophy will be replaced by poetry." But if we conceive thus highly of the destinies of poetry, we must also set our standard for poetry high, since poetry, to be capable of fulfilling such high destinies, must be poetry of a high order of excellence. We must accustom ourselves to a high standard and a strict judgment. "Yes; constantly in reading poetry, a sense of the best, the really excellent, and of the strength and joy to be drawn from it, should be present in our minds and should govern our estimate of what we read. But this real estimate, the only true one, is liable to be superseded, if we are not watchful, by two other kinds of estimate, the historic estimate and the personal estimate, both of which are fallacious."

"But if we conceive thus highly of the destinies of poetry, we must also set our standard for poetry high, since poetry, to be capable of fulfilling such high destinies, must be poetry of a high order of excellence. We must accustom ourselves to a high standard and a strict judgment." "Yes; constantly in reading poetry, a sense of the best, the really excellent, and of the strength and joy to be drawn from it, should be present in our minds and should govern our estimate of what we read. But this real estimate, the only true one, is liable to be superseded, if we are not watchful, by two other kinds of estimate, the historic estimate and the personal estimate, both of which are fallacious. "A poet or a poem may count to us historically, they may count to us on grounds personal to ourselves, and they may count to us really." "They may count to us historically. The course of development of a nation's language, thought, and poetry is profoundly interesting; and by regarding a poet's work as a stage in this course of development we may easily bring ourselves to make it of more importance as poetry than in itself it really is, we may come to use a language of quite exaggerated praise in criticising it; in short, to over-rate it. So arises in our poetic judgments the fallacy caused by the estimate which we may call historic. "Then again a poet or a poem may count to us on grounds personal to ourselves. Our personal affinities, likings and circumstances, have great power to sway our estimate of this or that poet's work, and to make us attach more importance to it as poetry than in itself it really possesses, because it is, or has been, of high importance. Here also we overrate the subject of our interest, and apply to it a language of praise which is quite exaggerated. And thus we get the source of a second fallacy in our poetic judgments. "Both fallacies are natural. It is evident how naturally the study of history and developments of poetry may incline a man to pause over reputations and works once conspicuous but now obscure, and to quarrel with a careless public for skipping in obedience to mere tradition and habit, from one famous name or work in its national poetry to another, ignorant of what it misses, and of the reason for keeping what it keeps, and of the whole process of growth in its poetry." Pascal goes no further than Shakespeare in "Romeo and Juliet": I talk of dreams, Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind. DREAMS In Byron's "The Dream" you will find these lines; And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have weight upon our waking thoughts, They take weight from off our waking tolls, They do divide our being."
