KIPLING'S LATEST POEM.
Cited as an Example of Deterioration
Of Genius.

New York, Jan. 13.-The Rev. DR..
Louis Albert Banks, at the Grace
Methodist church in a recent sermon,
said in part:
The one poet now living who has
the power to speak to worldwide au-
diences is Rudyard Kipling. And most
of US feel that the man who wrote the
'RecessionaP and The White Mans
Burden has fairly won the right. But
there are millions of his admirers who
feel that in the poems relating to the
South African war there has been al
most a prostitution of his great gifts
In Mr.. Kipling's most recent poem.
which is a severe arraignment of the
English people for lack of loyalty and
devotion in pressing the war against
the Beers, the line which has caught
other is the one which calls for public
contempt on The fanneled fools at the
wicket
His point of view is evidently that
man is a light-headed. light hearted
fool who gives himself up to sport and
idle jol!ity when his country needs his
service to stop bullets in the Trans
wal. But the intelligent middle class
Engllshman has not great enthusiasm
about the war in South Africa. 1t
does not appeal to his sense of justice
or humanity. England is learning what
all nations must learn sooner or later.
that war simply because it is war is
losing its glamour.

HICKEY ON CAR SERVICE.
Short Line Man Favors the Per Diem
System.

Car Accountant G. l.. Hickey OF the
Oregon Short Line. who has been one of
the most prominent advocates of the per
diem system of charging for cars in SER
vice on foreign lines, has an article on
the subject in the current number of
the Railway Age.
Il am strongly in favor Of the per diem
plan of settlement for foreign car ser
vice. he says in the course of his arti-
Gle, and believe that my views are
shared by nine-tenths of the operating
officials of all railroads in this country
and the other tenth only assumes an an
taGonistic position through entirely sell
fish motives.
The present plan for settlement is Onc
which would be mark for derisiOn if il
existed in China or some other semi
civilized country. and that its existence
is tolerated by the. railroads of the
United States is due TO the ineXplica bic
apathy on the part of the railroad Off
CialS.
Il am Of the opinion that the per diem
charge should be not less than . cents
per car, rather than Is cents, as sug-
gested by a committee Of the American
Railway association some two years
since
General Manager Russell Harding of
the Missouri Pacific and RIO Grande sys-
TENS has also expressed himself in
favor of the per diem system.

few days on the erection of a 100000 soda
