The youthful poet slipped noise

Wish you would look over
some of these" said the youth,
taking a bundle of manuscript from
under one arm, and tell me if
you think could make a living

The practical man took up one
of tne poems and read it. 1t was

and was like the usual amateur at
tempts at poetry. Whenever the
word boy" came at the end of a
line ard needed a rhyming word
on another line, that word was al
ways joy" The endless river,
the verdant meadow and all the
usual implements of the youthful
mind were there.
The poem" not only rhymed of
the boy in boyhood but it couldn' t
let him drop before it had taken
him on through about twenty
verses of manhood and left him
gray-haired and feeble, ready to
topple over into the grave.
Say" said the practical man
as he finished the verses and turned
rather abruptly upon the expectant
youth, did it ever occur to you
that there are lots Of ways of
making a living that are more
certain than writing verse? Sit
down and let's figure little. "
The young man drew up a chair
reluctantly, while his busy and
seemingly hard-hearted friend took
pencil and paper.
There are about 90, 0OO,O of
people in the United States, 1 be-
lieve," he went on. of these
are very few who have never
written poetry of some sort or
another.
l guess most everyone has tried
it. agreed the youth with some
feeling of relief.
Well say that one out of every
fifty have not tried it at least once
during their romantic days. That

ton, or IS, 2OO,O who have

that each aspiring young poet
writes twenty verses to certain, or
uncertain, sweethearts. That would
be about four verses every year for
Eve years-a fair average. He
would write about the same num-
Der of verses on spring-that's an
other common cause for poetry.
He would probably have at least
four verses on Boyhood' and a
couple on Autumn
Now, with the easy arrange
ment of four lines to the verse, we
would have 1874 lines of poetry
from every one in the United
States, or according to my figures,
10, 22S, 10000 lines. Should pub
fishers pay only l cent per
line for poetry, the expenditure
for verse would be S162, 2SS, 900. d"
That's lots of money for
poetry" suggested the young man.
Yes, answered the practical
man, but when you are only one
of the contributors your share
would be 81. Sand that isn't all.
In reality 1 doubt if 10 per cent
of the poetry written is accepted
and paid for. This being the case,
your pay would amount to 18
cents.
Now, all this is merely fgur-
ing, however, and specializing
upon the probability of your being

from the stage to his Kentucky home

week the final drama of her career as

and sees a mark upon her to use as
evidence to support his claim to the
stakes. Yet the Tenderloiners didn't
go to see that but gave their first-night
attention to Sam Bernard in a new
farce. For Miss Allen was PLAYING Inn
gen in Shakespeare's "Cymbeline," and
getting the admiration of very differ
ent people. Her Imogen is far more
than a handsome woman couched for
a mimic ledher to spy upon and a. gem

There Is no need to repeat what has

uninspired example OF Shakespeare.
Still. it is Shakespeare. and ten years

Allen equals the finer one in SENSIBLE

the character which Bernard developed
in 1.-THE Girl From Kay's." That was
a London-made musical comedy In
which Hattie Williams got into re-

ripple Of distinction, enviable or other

Against this, Judge Powers offers the
voters his exceptional ability as law
yer and public man. He offers them SER
vices that would go far toward restor-
ing the prestige of the state in con-
gress which has been sacrificed by
Howells. He would serve all the peo-
pie, not a section of them or a faction,
not Mormons alone or Gentiles alone,
but the whole people of whatever poll
tical or religious creed-as a represent
tative should. He would be under OBJ
legation TO no man or set of men, but
of the state of Utah who will elect
him. Going to congress with a commits
sion from the people, he would be in
position to speak for them-for all of
them-and no one doubts but that he
would speak with far more weight and
accomplish far more good than Mr.
Howells or any other man the Repub-
iican machine might choose.
~
In the littleness of their souls, both
the Republicans and Americans" have
impugned the sincerity of Judge Pow
ers' motives. The same Americans"
who question his sincerity are the men
who accused him of making a grand
stand play" when he convened the
Democrats to protest against their ef-
fort to secure church influence for
themselves when they were Republic
cans. In all decency they should be
barred from questioning any mans
sincerity. The Republicans attack his
motives because he has been fearless
in his opposition to their methods and
outspoken in his denunciation of the
men who are trying to make a relig-
ious issue out of the campaign. He
could have no finer tribute to the
righteousness of his position than the
attacks made on him from these
sources.
Because the Smoot machine and the
American machine are both fighting
him bitterly. Judge Powers ought to
have the undivided support of every
citizen who believes that these two
factions are the curse of the state and
ought TO be wiped out of existence.

CALCULATING THE RESULT.

with the election only a little more
than a week away, it is conceded that
the fight now lies between the Demo-
Gratis and Americans" I'm this countv
and that If the Democrats stand solid
they will defeat the Americans" by a
comfortable majority. This conclusion
is based on the figures of last falls
city election and the undoubted senti-
ment in favor of the democratic can
didates, particularly among those in
dependents who were beguiled into
voting for Lynch last fall on the assur-
ance that Lynch was the only one who
stood show to beat Thompson. This
year they will not be fooled by any
Beat Thompson with Lynch" talk. be-
cause they have had one experience
and that is enough
Taking last falls figures, the Repub-
Leans would have to gain 1868 votes
to equal the American" vote, provid-
ing the latter made no gains. They
would have to gain 1850 to equal the
Democratic vote of last fall. No sane
man will suppose for a moment that
there is any chance for the Republicans
to gain at ALL much less to gain thou
sands of votes in the face of the de-
feat of last fall, when they carried only
one city election district out of fifty
three and turned the city over to the
Americans"
Figuring on still another basis, Lynch
9,457 cast for Howells the year before,
while Morris last fall got 1880 COM
pared with 7.150 Judge Powers got the
year before. That is to say, while the
Republicans were losing 2,4S7 votes,
the Democrats were gaining $50, a
change of 3,167 votes in favor of the
Democracy.
In the year that has interviewed since
Mr.. Lynch was vanquished so inglori-
ously, the sentiment against the Re-
publican machine has been growing at
an amazing rate, while the Democrats,
by their sensible. practical course have
been gaining ground. The Americans"
in the meantime have given the city
a taste of their administration An pub
lie office that has sickened a good many
of the men who supported them a year
ago. The Moran contracts, the condi-
ton of the streets, the increase in the
tax rate, the Sheets case have all con-
tributed to disgust the public with
their way of doing business. The net
result of the years experience has been
to convince the people that the Demo-
cratic platform and the Democratic
candidates offer the best way out of a
dilemma Of which they are tired. The
indications all point to the growth of
this sentiment between now and cleo
ton and to the election of the Demo-
cratic ticket in it's entirety.
