ADDRESS ON POETRY.
VIII III. Thompson Tells OF It's Nature
and Qualities.

VIII II. Thompson, whose own pen is not
unacquainted with the art OF which he
spoke, treated the pupils and teachers of
the high school 10 an address on Poetry
Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Thompson began HIS address with the
statement that most persons. though ar
dent lovers Of poetry, gave little attention
20 either the history or the constituents Of
the art. As a basis for his remarks he
then quoted from a large number OF critical
authors. each of whom had given his own
peculiar definition OF what constituted
poetry. Beginning With cur own Oldest and
perhaps CleaTest critic. Edmund Clarence
Stedman, who has declared poetry to be
''ThyrhniCsi imaginative language. ex-
pressing the invention. taste. thought pas
sion and insight OF the human soul" he
ran backwards rapidly through a long lis.,
including Ruskin, Mil. Schoppenhauer.
Byron. Edgar Allan Poe. MIfcn SchIegel.
Watts. Emerson, Shelley. Rrl ~fnlng. Chap
man. Longinus, Aristotle. and ending with
Plato, who gave. according 20 Mr. Thomp-
son, the earliest ana one OF the best def
nstions ~ poetry, when he said that poetry
consisted q noble thoughts flowing in
anelojic measure from a human soul IN
harmonic relation with the soul Of the uni-
verse
This definition. while broad and compre-
hensive. was not so apt and express

LANES G.. HIAINE.

Three years ago today a nation was
shocked to learn that James G. Blaine was
dead. He passed away acknowledged TO
have been one of the greatest Americans OF
his time. The bitterness which had grown
out OF his early political struggles had died
out. The criticisms to which he had been
subjected while an aggressive leader In
the halls OF legislation had been modified. IL
they were not admitted to be unjust. In
his later years those who had once opposed
him began TO appreciate his sterling worth.
and when the final summons came Mr..
Blaine had come 20 be generally regarded
as man with no superiors and few equals
In American public life.
His fame is something that viii increase

Californian newspaper. commenting
on local controversy. makes some points
which can be applied 10 the present condi-
tons in Seattle. 1t is said here that there
Is no man In the city available for mayor
who has the necessary means 10 make
campaign. The San Bernardlno Sun. the
paper referred 20, considers that mans
poverty is no bar 20 success. We know by
reading story books that IL should not be,
because natures noblemen are usually
found In f4stian suit and there's many
lady In calico dress" But the man who
can put UP the stuff" In the yernaculsr
of the First ward. very often has in poll
ties an apparent advantage over the poor
but honest gentleman.
The Sun has theory on the subject
which might be tried these hard times. II
is a favorable opportunity because there is
a larger number OF poor men TO select can
didates from than usual. Our contempor-
airy says that a moneyed fight is an uphill
fight from start to finish. Where the can
didate Is supposed to be wealthy, one who
has had no experience, says the Sun, would
be astonished at many OF those who in such
cases make demands on the campaign
funds. Those who would contribute Hber-
ally in behalf OF poor man running ION
principle" expect to get and demand their
share when the report gets out that their
candidate Is going to spend bushel of
money" The more he is supposed to nave.
and 10 be willing to spend, the more is de-
handed OF course. in such case, no man.
