| DR.. Lyman w. Denton, the local litterateur
and author Of twilight is urging the es-
tabishment of governmental bureau Of
poetry, the head Of which shall be member
| of the presidents cabinet In connection with
| this, DR.. Denton proposes national maya
| zine of poetry to be issued by the govern
ment monthly under the supervision of the
| national secretary. of poetry. In this way the
government, which furnishes us our crop re-
ports and weather forecasts and spends much
money in printing brochures ION the Onion
| Crop of Burgundy'' and Detailed Report on
the Disease Called Bots in Sheep" will also
supply the country with it's poetry and give
! an opportunity for the real talent to which
our magazines are now closed, to come to the
front Dr. Denton said, this week that he
had been intending to confer with Representa-
| tive Fletcher on the matter but had feared
that Mr.. Fletcher might be too busy with
! the triyialities 5of politics. From an inside
source, however, very close to the Representa-
tive it is learned that, the project of a ma
| tional bureau Of poetry is one that is very
close to his heart Mr. Fletcher can safely
! be put down as an. advocate Of governmental
| poetry. *
"Did you ever read my article in Poet-Iore
| on The Doctrine Of the Cesura,' asked Mr.
| Fletcher to-day. mo? 1t was quite highly
esteemed in eastern literary circles" '

Mr.. Lind, when a reporter called on hin
yesterday, expressed at first hostility to al

fined. AS the subject was. ouOllneo 70 MIN
however, and the point brought clearly to hi
attention that the government supervision o
poetry would tend to enhance the value
the output, Mr.. Lind grew thoughtful and wa
disposed to modify his position. 1t may safel.
i he foreeast that in case tho issue OF de
partment Of poesy gets into national politics
Mr.. Lind will be found on the right side.
I Probably no political question that has beel
preached OF late years has caused 80 muel
interest in political circles as the sugges
