4 BRITISH ESTIMATE OF WHITMAN
Reading His Works Llkened to EmeltinG .
Ton Of Orc for . Very Lltsle Gold.

Reading His Works Likened to Smelling .
Ton of Orc for . Very Little Gold.
LONDON. April 1.-Walt Whitman's death IL
the occasion OF host Of reviews OF his works
and estimates OF his genius. One Of the most
noticeable Of these commentaries is that OF tho
Saturday Review. which says:
Whtman's intellectual power was very
small: his politics was kind OF childish poet
izing on an American Constitution OF his
imagination rather than Of fact: his social
ideas were simply uniformed in any way. and
his morals. to say the least. did not reach the
standards Of historically workable morality.
His judgments in literature were beautifully
amateurish and shaped TO suit the fantastic
pantheism OF the crud-
est kind. though not unpoetical His
es0sSS se bS consisted thu IN rsSHrdns %a ad
ali men as equal. He Often I preaohed mere ae
nonsense. He sometimes preached mere dis
cord. he not seldom preached inconvenient
things. but he did. and that not seldom.
preach poetry. H, He would you write ,, pages and
he would give bursts and trills. Of divine bird
music. echoes OF the very sea chime he loved.
It Is hardly possible to read Whitman any
where. even In the most perverse and prosaio
moods without perceiving the poetic phrase.
Hash Of poetic imarination. MRet6er. Indeed.
the cacophonies. the sillinesses. to say nothing
worse Of the rest. make the process Of explor-
ina for these saving bits too grievous Q task.
must be question for individuals. But SO
long as men think 1t worth while to smelt a
long # will be at least excusable to read Whit
man."

conclusion that the long talk LOT closing Of
st. Leo's was about to take place. Il has
often been said that the Archbishop might
abolish the parish. When Father DuceY

summer. when the majority Of the members Of
the congregation were out OF town. -.

do members Of Father Ducey's flock were
