To the Editor:
should like to present to the readers of The
Mirror few words of commentator of the peo-
pies poet, Robert Burns. He was well named
the peoples poet for nearly all of his songs
of the home1y and common things enjoyed by the
poor and their affections were sweeter to him than
lesson nor grander sentiment than his description
of the frantic mouse around the broken nest of
her young ever issued from the pen of any poet.
His Ode to Mountain Daisy accidently cut off
by his pillow compares favorably with the printed
thoughts of all the naturalists in the world.
Had Burns never written poem nor sung song
the world would never have condemned him for
drinking nor for enjoying. perhaps to excess, the
charms of lovely women. The small faults or err
rors of great men are magnifed. His many vir-
tues benefited the whole world while the
other hand his few faults injured only himself. /
cannot believe that any profigate or sinner ever
saw-such visions or dreamed such golden dreams
as are depicted in some of his songs.
Wherever lovers plight their troth, wherever
mothers lul1 with gentle songs their BARNS to
sleep, wherever weary laden poverty lays its head
there the spirit of Robert Burns in all its simple
beauty finds friend" why? Because he was
gentle, loving. big-hearted and generous
When he wrote, The Rank is But the Guinea's
Stamp; mans a man for a that. he wrote the
original declaration of independence.
There is not a spot in Scotland where he rested
his feet in his short span of life that has
become historical. and men of commonest ella,
rest secure in Scotland's history if Burns bu
called them friend s74.

LETTERS FROM READERS.

To the Editor:
Erid commenting on the theory of Socialism
and the criticism offered by D. NJ, remarks:
Socialism cannot don stripes and be confined in
prison cell even though individual ideas be re1e
gated to narrow minds" This remark is anbig
uous and characteristic Of the writer. In dealing
with a vital, practical subject. he wanders away
in the fields of bathos and declaims of the atmos-
phere and the fountain of life. Dollars to him are
insignificant factors. Capital and Labor myths
and demonstrations. Poetry is beautiful thing
and am among its admirers. but poetry applied
to politics is detestable. Of far more importance
to the inhabitants of Slumdom is the proper ma
ipulation of nations capital. than Philosophy
of the Elements. DIN.
