Heresy of Modernism in Poetry.

And the comfortable respiration of the

singing of old wars and loves. retelling
ancient myths. What's Hecuba to US:
Lord send a man like Robbie Burns 70
sing the song of steam" And we would
teach our poets that poetry is being lived
all about us: that they should be mouth
pieces of their age: that no man can step
off his own shadow; and that we cannot
sing those old songs truly. Now II is
true that our time contains as mucn
poetry of life as any: but precisely be-
cause 1t Is our own. this poetry o. lie Is
unready for translation into poetry OF art
For poetry deals of necessity only with
what is either old or ageleSs. You may
poet.ze a kiss or ar arrow. you cannot

because of disclosures in connection with
the paving graft scandal, in which he
figured as the ''go-between.' will probably
not be taken up until after the national
convention al Denver. This information
comes from Police Justice Loden, secre-
tary of the committee. but it is not quite
clear just what effect the work of the
Denver convention could have on the Bal
timore city committee.
The truth of the matter is that the dem
ocratic organization is having trouble to
induce a good man. one who has the con-
hdenCe of the public. to accept the chair
manship. The organization is so be-
smirched and despatched with paving and
