Walsh's attorneys are hopeful of
finally securing the acquittal of their

ly gone to Keats to learn style-the per-
lection OF word phrasing-so it has gone
to Poe to learn tone, the truths of
keeping an atmosphere in composition.
Poe did not set himself to write
copy-book maXims of morality, but the
total effect of his work is that of lofti
ness and nobility. His men are brave
and his Hrmen are pure. He is the
least vulgar of mortals. Perhaps, if
books have any effect at all, his tend
to make men too truthful, too sensi-
tive, too high-minded."
Standards, evidently, have changed
since Emerson referred to Poe as
that jingle man." Abiding to this
disparaging comment DR.. H. G. Wells,
the English novelist and writer on So
GEOLOGY, said at a dinner in Boston: II
think hardly of your New England
writer's for their contempt of Poe. 1
shall never be able to forget that
Emerson called him that jingle man.
To-day thousand read Poe where one
reads Emerson, and not to know Poes
work is rather disgrace"
Rupert Taylor, LII. B., in a recently
printed Study of Edgar Allan Poe"
has this to say of Poe's private life:
Poe took pleasure in the softer in
fuences of home life, although there
is little or no reflection of it in his
writings. He dearly loved his wife
and her mother, of whom he speaks in
an excellent sonnet addressed to her
after the death of his wife, as more
than mother In the Black Cat he
gives evidence of fondness for do
nestle pets. His cottage at Fordham
was beautified by vines and Towering
plants, and he kept in cages several
singing birds and tropical birds Of
plumage. He was as al who knew
anything about the matter attested on
every occasion a devoted and model
husband"
People in general are so accustomed
to regard Poe as poet and short
story writer that they fail to realize
that he was also profound specula-
tive thinker. In an article entitled
"Poe as an Evolutionist' popular
Science Monthly, September) Mr..
Frederic Drew Bond points out that
in estimating his character too little
attention is bestowed on this phase
Of his work. He finds that Poe enter
tanned in it's broad outlines that idea
of the changes and development of the
world which goes, nowadays, by the
name Of the theory of evolution. On
February 3, 1848, Poe delivered, as a
lecture at the Society library of New
York. an abstract of his speculations
on the material and spiritual uni
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-07-03

verse-its essence, origin, creation,
present condition and destiny. Short
ly afterward this was published by
Putnam under the title Eureka"
After quoting the paragraphs from
Eureka in which Poe sums up his
theory of cosmic development. Mr..
Bond says:
'The statement of Poe that 'hetero-
geneousness, brought about directly
through condensation. is proportional
with it forever appears to contain the
germ Of Herbert Spencer's developed
formula: Evolution is change from
an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity
to definite, coherent heterogeneity
through continuous differentiations
and integrations.' Noteworthy, also,
is Poe's statement of the correlation
between mental development and
physical organization"
After thorough investigation and
consideration of Poe's theory Mr..
Bond concludes that:
'In it's important features, Eureka
is a perversion of the modern doctrine
of evolution. In the statements that
the universe is in perpetual flux,
that it is now evolving and will in the
future dissolve, that it has developed
from a condition of homogeneity, and
that our own system sprang from a
nebula, Poe is in accord with the
Spencerian philosophy and very prob
ably with the actual facts; while in
the assertions that the earth has, dur
ing successive geological ages, pro-
duced higher and higher organic life
characterized by an ascending devel-
opment of mind, hand in hand with an
increasing compleXity Of the physical
organization, he is stating what are
now known to be simple scientific
facts. Erroneous, of course, the de-
tails of his conceptions very frequent
ly are; but this is common to him
with tie pioneers Of every great idea
Only in the course of time does the
germ of truth attain its full growth
and reveal its true character. To
criticise Eureka from a contempt
rary standpoint would be as beside
the marx DIS " liCdI idO A>dlui pnilooo-
phie' of Schelling or of Hegel in the
same way. 1t was a remark of John
P. Kennedy, Poe's old friend, that the
latter wrote like an old Greek phil
osopher' and any one who reads the
fragments of the Greek thinkers be-
fore Aristotle can easily verify for
himself the truth and aptness Of the
statement. The merits of Poe, in
common, more or less, with the other
pre-Spencerian evolutionists lie In
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-07-03

how far and how truly his genius en-
abled him to divide the mode OF
development of the universe.
"It is improbable that Eureka had
any influence in preparing the way for
the reception of evolutionary ideas,
a little later; at the most such inf1u-
ence must have been of the slightest,
for though his work was early trans
lated into foreign languages, the failure
to find fitting recognition Of its true
character, and the general obscurity
such likelihood. It's interest lies
in the light it throws on its author
and in the honorable place it assigns
him in that long line of thinkers from
Thales to Darwin"
The status, then, of Edgar Allan
Poe, go years after, is as follows:
Mr.. Edmund Clarence Stedman
finds that Poe sis read and held as
a distinctive genius in France, Spain.
Germany, Italy. Russia, Scandinavia
that the spell of his art is felt
wherever our own English speech goes
with the flags Of it's two great over
lands"
Mr.. Maarten Martens declares that
Poe is "at the head of American lit
erature," and "that Europe is quite
agreed, as it has been from the first,
in recognizing the overshadowing
genius of Edgar Allan Poe"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle looks upon
Poe "as the worlds supreme short
story writer" whose nearest rival
was Maupassant."
Charles Frederic Stansbury pro-
nounces Poe "a brilliant genius to en-
ulate the work of whom is the despair
of great minds and the confusion OF
little ones"
Mr.. Charles L. Moore tells us that
"Poe was the least vulgar of mortals,"
and that 1.-The total effect of his work
is that of loftiness and nobility"
Miss Myrtle Reed says that Poe
fought bravely against cruel odds"
Mr.. Rupert Taylor finds that Poe
was ION every occasion devoted and
model husband"
Mr.. Frederic Drew Bond points out
that Poe had provision Of the doc
trine of evolution" and that che Is
entitled to an honorable place in that
long line of thinkers from Thales to
Darwin"
This, then, is the testimony, on d.
rect examination, Of the year 1907 In
the case of Edgar Allan Poe versus
those electors to the Hall Of Fame
who have, so far, withheld from him
their votes.

cially of Londoners, for Dickens, it
was nearly 40 years after his death
he died, it will be remembered, in
1S70-before a memorial of any kind
was erected to his memory in the Brit.
ish capital. This memorial is sim
pie portrait bust, with bronze tablet,
and was placed upon the site of Fur
nival's inn, Holburn. 1t was at Fur
nival's inn that Dickens wrote Pick
wick" and it was there, in a little
room on the third floor, that he awoke
one morning, in 1886, to find himself
famous
Poe's failure of election to the Hall
Of Fame is another very real griev-
ance to many of his countrymen, but
a parallel, in a way, to this situation,
too, may be found oversee. Last No
vember the authorities of the British
museum undertook to select 10 names
as the greatest and most representa-
tive in English literature to be paint
ed on 10 panels in the reading room
of the British museum. 1t was no
easy task, but the names finally set
tied upon by the trustees of the mu-
scum were: Chaucer, Caxton, Tin
dale. Spenser, Shakespeare, Bacon,
Milton, Locke, Addison, Swift, Pope,
Gibbon, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron.
Carlyle, Macaulay, Tennyson and
Browning.
This selection, of course, by no
means met with universal commenda-
ton. On the contrary, loud cries of
complaint and inquiry were heard
from all over the country as soon as
1t was announced Where was Dick
ems? Where was Thackeray? Where
was Robert Burns? Where were
Dryden, Johnson and Burke?-and. to
continue: Where were Fielding, Shell
ley. Blake, Richardson, Butler and
Ruskin? And where, asked George
Bernard Shaw, in stern and
wrathful tone, was Bunyan?
Thus we see that other national
households besides our own have
trouble in arranging their literary
treasures to suit all the members of
the family.
No one, perhaps, could speak with
than the late Mr.. Edmund Clarence
Stedman, himself a poet, the writer
of a delightful life of Poe, and one
Of the hundred electors to the Hall
of Fame. In the August number of
the North American Review he said:
IF the vote for Cooper gave cause
for wonder, what of the insufficient
tally score for Poe, whose names prob
ably will never cease to be vexed by a
willing class of followers, but concern
ing whose place in imaginative litera-
ture the world at large has not the
slightest doubt? AS writer he
was among the first to recognize the
powers of Hawthorne; both were
idealists, and if one produced no sus-
tanned romances like ''The Scarlet Let
