WANTS US TO CRITTCIsE POETRY

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Pardon my
presumption and take time to read
carefully my enclosed efforts at poet
ry, Notwithstanding their uninvit-
ing shape. l want your criticism,
favorable or unfavorable. My OBJ
ject is to find a patron, for what is
a poet without his Augustus or
Mycenas? I'm tired of waiting for
the world to discover me; my only
hope is to put myself boldly in the
path of some one on whom the
worlds eye is already riveted and
through him discover myself to the
World-that is, if can get his at
tention. America herself might have
remained unknown but for butting
in between Columbus and his object.

STILL IN THE RING.

Dear Toni have been thinking
for some time of writing you to let
you know how I appreciate your
publications.
I am one of the old guard and
never tire of reading your editorials.
They are food for me, and I get more
information from them than from
all other sources
Your articles on the Foreign Mis-
sions question are the best I have
ever seen, and to the unprecedented
mind they can not fail to carry con-
yiction. The way you have ''laid to
rest" the much disturbed parsons is
amusing. I am quite sure the For
eign Missions subject will not be the
great hobby" as it has been. no
tice much is being said now of Home
Missions.
Well, Tom, it does me good to
know we common people have such
an able, fearless advocate. When
think how you have been abused,
misrepresented and bounded down
by the very ones, many times, that
you were trying to help, I do not
understand how you have kept up
the fight.
| believe your Jeffersonian Club
plan for organization is the correct
one. By this method fusion, which
I detest, above all things, will be
impossible. We don't need the
Bryans, Livingstons and Buffers any
more. I had rather fight it out and
die without going into power than
to sacrifice principle. 1t does not
discourage me to be in the minority;
it is better to be right than to have
all things and be wrong.
Always count me "one."

there isn't another man like you and

it leaked out that he was opposed to
the present system. A few leaders
