Homer a Man, Not a Syndicate.

We should all feel very grateful that,
amid the rush Of baser interests, there
is one man in the world who has not
become prey either to the tainted
money or the graft question. He is M.
Breal, French scholar who is devot-
ing himself to the solution of the au-
thorship of Homer. NJ Breal makes
the Had the work Of great poet
who wrote and chanted it at the public
games. The theme of the main poem,
"Glory,'' he finds running thru the
verses, broken at intervals with other
verses which are easily extricable from
the genuine Homeric umatter. These adj
ditions were made, he believes, by bards
who came after Homer and who had
the custody of the original Had.
The birthplace of Homer is not
touched upon by NJ. Breal, who does not
seem to consider it Of Importance
whether Homer was born in St. Paul or
Anoka, so long as he was born and so
long as he escaped early to Minneapolis,
got into the public schools and secured
writing material with which to set
down his thoughts.
