The Need of Poets,

From The Outlook.
The report in the New York Times
Of an interview with Mr.. Bryce, the
British Amba ssador, in which he ask
ed the question, who are your po-
ets?'' and declared that nothing is
more important than that each gener-
alton and land should have it's own
poets, is significant utterance by
a very thoughtful man who speaks
from a more exact and intimate know
ledge of American affairs than has
probably ever been possessed by any
other foreigner. Mr. Bryce speaks,
too, as practical statesman, who
has been accustomed for many years
not only to study principles, but to
deal with facts and to estimate the
value of material achievements. Amer
leans are practical people, with
great respect for poets and artists,
but not much confidence in their
but when an ex-member of
a British Ministry declares that one
of the great needs of the country is
poets, his opinion will carry weight
with those who like to read poetry
at intervals not too frequent, but who
attach slight importance to the prac-
teal judgments of the writer's of
verse.

ARTHUR cAVANAUGH DIES
AT Al RIIOlIE R0tIE N

Arthur Cavanaugh died of peritoai-
tbs at Albuquerque last week. He is
described as the man who had done
more to make life sunny for the peo-
pie of Albuquerque than any ma.- vuno
ever lived in the city. He was thir-
ty-six years old and leaves a wife and
five children. He was a leader in To-
cal theatricals and was highly talent
ed in that line. He is said to have
been the most popular Elk in Albu-
querque lodge and was the most en-
thusiastic fan of the city, having been
manager of the Albuquerque base ball
team. At the time of his death he
was agent in Albuquerque for the firm
of w. H. Constable, of Ell Paso. For
merly he was with Gross, Kelly &
Company, for whom he travelled exten
sively. His death is generally deplor-
ed in Albuquerque and Las Vegas,
where he had lived many years.

defended Adams, declaring that the
accused man was only a pawn in the
prosecution of the labor leaders and
that his trial for the murder of Tyler
was animated by revenge. Adams is
still being held by the state authori-
ties, but it is generally believed that
the prosecution will be dropped when
the Haywood case is ended.
Whether the Adams confession was
the truth, as claimed by the prosecu-
tio1, or mess of lies cooked up"
by the versatile Mcfarland, as Ad-
ans now declares, is a question of
great importance in the trial of the
labor leaders. That the original CON
fession, which is couched in good Ian
guage, was at least "doctored" to a
considerable extent is made evident
by the fact that Adams is illiterate
and unschooled.

JAPANESE PROMISES
REMAIN UNQUALIFIED.

Mukden, May 14.-The repeated
promises made by the Japanese for
the past three years to return to Chi
ma the property appropriated through
the exige1cies of war are still unful-
filed. In consequence China is ex-
pressing much indignation at what
is considered a gross breach of faith.
Japan's pretext is that China failed
to observe neutrality IN allowing Rus
sia to occupy these buildings, mines
and land. This excuse is not consid-
cred honest, because Japan is fully
aware of China's helplessness to en-
force neutrality, while Japan in re-
gard to abuse of Chinese neutrality
is considered equally guilty.
