Ter poet has given real estate valued
at 100000 to the people of Indian
apolis as a site for a public library
and administration building for the
public schools of that city, 1t is
often said that man must be dead
before he Is spoken of highly, but
that isn't true Of the popular view of
that sweetest of poets-Jim Riley.
Oh, we sit by the fire and we list to
the Tyre he plays as no other can
play 1t, and all the year long we love
him and his song, and we're only too
happy to say it. The worlds full OF
noise from poets and boys, who pound
on their harps with hammer, and
often with tears we are holding our
ears to shut out the horrible clamor,
Those singers are hoarse and their
music is coarse and their themes are
as punk as their cause is 1t eases
the pain when the gentle refrain Of
Riley is heard In the pauses. His
songs always start from a good gen
tie heart that's Drumming with love
for his fellows. He doesn't make
songs with his hammer and tongs,
and blow up his fire with a bellows,
his verse is as true and as good and
as pure as the blue of the heaven
above him, and long may he live his
sweet lyrics to give to the millions Of
people who love him.
Yes, there is such thing as being
so white that people are ashamed to
skin you.
