"A Proposition from Constant Reader
and the First Production.
Editor Herald think it is about
time for Swan Lakers and Spring Val
leyites to begin to cultivate home tai
ent and patronize home institutions,
and as Lars and Sorrel Top have been
singing poetry around as freely as an
Omaha hash-slinger talks slang, pro-
Epose we organize company, buy a
machine and grid out poetry and pub
lish it in the Herald, until we utterly
and entirely annihilate, absquatulate,
strangulate and squelch not only Lars
and Sorrel Top, but all other poets who
may now, henceforth, or forever think
of writing poetry for the New Era, and
8 just to show you how little it will take
to do it, and to encourage the machine
project, send you piece of my own.
And / tell you. Lars, this is nothing to
what the 'chiene II do. do not know
whether to sign my name Annihilator
or Imitator guess I'll await the result
of this dose.
