The Genius of whitman


One might have foreseen that Germany
would do justice to Whitman. 1t Is
more surprising today to find at last that
France has fallen into line Whitman 8
complete works have been translated and
If one may judge from such extracts as
appear quoted in the new Walt Whit
man; FHomme ct lEuvre, by Leon By
Ealgette, they lend themselves to transla-
ton as only substantial work does; work
which is SO spiritual, so transfused with
essence, that the form is actually insep-
arabic from the matter; the body and
soul as indistinguishable as the body and
soul of man. Leon Byzalgette's Walt
Whitman has no particular interest from
the standpoint of offering new material
for history. OF the man, who already
counts among his able biographers John
Addington Symonds, Robert Louis Ste
venson, Edward Carpenter, Henry Bryan
Binns, O'Connor, Maurice Buckle John
Burroughs, and Horace Traubel; 1t is,
however, extremely valuable as present
ing us Whitman as he now appears to
modern French scholars and students.
The book opens with the statement that
America so far has produced only four
universal geniuses-Poe, Emerson, Thor
eau, Whitman such other thinkers as
#have fourished on our soil have only a
national and local Significance.
) OF these four thinkers, the author
goes on to say, "one dominates the
group colossally-Walt Whitman. He

CRITICAL STAGE
IN CHURCH FIGHT

Rome, August 20.-(Special. 1.-The
trouble between Spain and the Vatican
seems to have reached an impasse. and
just how 1t is to be settled unless rulers,
one or the other, backs down, it is difficult
to see.
Cardinal Merry del Val, as I understand,
absolutely determined that the Vatican
will make no concessions whatever. and
while there is a good deal of quiet dis
satisfaction over the cause of affairs,
which is increased by the indications that
the church soon may have similar fight
in its hands with Portugal, the cardinal s
secretary of state dominates the Curia,
and backed by the Pope WILL unless APP
pearances deceive, have his way.
AS an echo of ex-President Roosevelt s
tour of Europe, an interesting story Is
current here. 1t Is to the effect that after
his talk with Colonel Roosevelt, King
Victor suggested to the German Kaiser
that the powers would agree to a maxi
mum tonnage speed and armament for
warships. Within these limits each ma
ton would build as many vessels of any
type as might be considered necessary.
but fixed point OF the destructive power
of each would be limited.
King Victor ErnlnslitL. Is described AS
saying: Il submitted the plan to him
who, by his position, could give to my
thought all its effective power" He add

self blossomed in hitherto unheard ac-
cents. Listening to him one might
fancy he heard some rhapsody, enor-
nous, rude, which had visibly passed
from antiquity on to American soil and
there confessed the desires, the won
der, the faith of modern man. These
chants, large, terminating, are the We
die hymns of new age. They fairly
overflow with the emotion which ac-
companies the beginning of an era"
who could have expected" writes
the French biographer, who could
have foreseen that this Walt, indolent
comrade of pilots and bus drivers, the
habitue of Broadway the tranquil, af-
fectionate fellow, so near to the hearts
of the simple, should nourish the
scheme of becoming the singer of his
race, of his age. Without warning,
without preamble, without ceasing to
show himself the most commonplace of
men, this great. phlegmatic being sud
denly offered the measure OF himself

The supremacy of the dark type over

the British Medical association, when
Lieut. Col Sir Havelock Charles. speak

scribes the kind of man best suited
to take up the white mans burden III
the tropics as good ordinary type of
Britlsher, with good head well
screwed on, a good temper, but not
over in tellectual. He should have a
mouth full of good teeth. healthy di-
gestion, a chest with plenty of expan-
sion, a regular pulse, healthy circu-
lation and he should not be over much
Of the blonde type. Such one would
bear with honor to himself and to the
country the white mans burden.
The best type of woman would be
built on similar lines and would be
true helpmate to her husband. His
observation had taught him that the
very best asset a working man could
possess in the tropics was true wom-
an. Her chief danger would be lack
of occupa ton, but If she Interested her
self in her house and pursued some
hobby to while away the time she also
would receive her reward and find the
tropics not unbearable. The type of
woman not wanted was the irritable
and capricious one. ~
