The Prosperity of Poets.

The Prosperity of Poets.
To celebrate the hundredth anniver-
gary of the birth of Longfellow, q
large number of American poets gath
cred the other evening in the rooms
of the National Arts Club of New York.
If they were all OF the genus minor"
that is really because America has 10
major poets Just now. At any rate.
they were among our best, and our
best, so far as real inspiration goes, is
probably not an Unreasonable distance
behind Longfellow. Edmund Clarence
Steadman was there. and Bliss Car
man and Madison Cawein and James
Lane Allen and William Vaughn Moody
and Edwin Markham and Edith
Thomas and Louise Morgan Sill, and
many others equally well known. Tho
assembiage included. indeed. nearly all
those bards whom the magazines have
made most familiar to us.
| Doubtless they made Il sufficiently
prosperous looking gathering; but it
IS quite certain that their prosperity
was not attained by the ways of min
strelsy. Nowadays there is, in the
low commercial phrase, mo money in
poetry" II it be true that young Mr.
Wallace Irwin is supporting himself
and raising a family exclusively on the
proceeds OF his muse, he is probably
4 unique in this respect. And Mr.. Irwin
| writes comic verses, not poetry The
| genuine poet OF the funny papers is
invariably cadaverous young man in
a shiny black coat, with hair sadly
needing the attention OF the tonsorlal
artist. England is said to have 1: poet
worth s2.oo0,oOo. but no one is SO fool
ish as to suspect him of having made
that pot OF money out Of his Tyre.
Your well-fed poet of real life Is al
ways the one who carries poetry as !.

sings for the fun of the thing. He can

Pine Bluff sports and especially To- cal lovers of good horse racing who usually attend the annual races at dot Springs. are greatly interested ill Iile bill recently introduced in the Senate at Little Rock by Senator w. 5. Amis of Cleveland county, and whcih threatens to "kill' horse rae lng ill this state
 The bill. it is stated, materially af- fects the mammoth concern that con- trols Woodlawn Park race track in the Valley of Vapors and judging rom the efforts of Hot Springs sports 70 get assistance of the local sports 10 assist them in their movement to prevent the passage of the bill, it has caused quite a stir there.
 Hot Springs is at present enjoying -he most genuine reunion it's citizens witnessed ill many months. Political affiliations, party fealty and personal 7rejudiees have been laid aside in a concerted and determined effort upon the part of citizens to defend them selves from what they claim would be ghe gross injustice inflicted upon them by the enact:.iHnt into law of what is now known as the Amis bill, which is designed to prohibit the selling of pools on races.

Such a species of legislation, the News respectfully submits, is not only without precedent, but undemo- cratic, as it Subverts the time -honor- ed doctrine and constitutional right of home rule and local self-govern- ment.

Horse Sense.

What is to be the future of the re publican party in AlaskaH We ask this question with perfect confidence that our motive in so doing will not be ques- tioned. Politics in Alaska is almost new science in so far as large part of the population is concerned, and only those who come here with a state eXpe- rience have any real ideas as to what political party may claim their allegi- ance.
 However, the republican party has rhat might be called the running gears of an organization in Alaska and it is to this part of the pioneer organization we wish to call the attention of our readers. The first skirmish of the great political battle to be fought to finish in 1908 came off few weeks ago at Juneau. There the warning factions Whetted their knives and plunged them into each others inner casing. Heids scrapped with Hoggatts and vice versa, till the sun went down upon their wrath. Meanwhile all the democrats sat back and grinned with satisfaction. The people in other towns in the terri tory were also pleased, for they saw that Juneau's strife would prove her undoing.
 Now we hear 1t said, and with large element of truth, that If the early bis tory of Alaska republiCanism is to be tinctured with venom from the arrows of hate and malice, tLen will not the newer citizens of Alaska and the coun- try have a part of it, but they will re- ject it as a thing lower than the lowest.
 So We believe we are right in suggest ing that fighting over the loaves is cer- tainly ill timed, and those who stand es leaders should have care, lest their unfitness be known.

A man living near Juneau sold S400 worth of vegetables and something over 200 chickens, raised on an acre of land during the past summer. We note this as an indication of the possibilities of agriculture in this section. The yield may not be so wonderful for the single acre of ground but it is wonder fpI when taken in connection with the fact that anybody can own that much in Alaska, where fine garden tracts are to be had for the taking. There ara glorious opportunities awaiting the man whc is not too lazy to work.
