To a Poet.

To learn poetry "for recreation" is
doubtless a means of cultivating a
knowledge Of literature; but school,
boys sometimes regard the authors
of poems learned as task-masters and
personal enemies. This view is anus.
ingly expressed in letter found
among the papers Of the venerable
German poet Geibel. 1t was written
to him by some schoolboys of Lubbock,
and signed, Karl Beckmann, II.
Klasse."
After stating that two boys had
been fogged because they could not
learn Herr Geibel's Hope of Spring."
the letter reads:
1--WE suppose that you did not think
of such things when you wrote the
poem. The Herr Lehrer says it is a
very beautiful poem; but there are so
many beautiful poems, and we are
obliged to learn them. Therefore we
beg and entreat you, esteemed Herr
Geibel, make no more beautiful poems.
And to make it worse we have to
learn the biography of every poet,
what year he was born in, and what
year he died in. We write to you be-
cause you are the only poet still liv-
ing, and we wish you very long life"

boilers In order is escape the Taft
steam roller, and the delegates they
have chosen are also classed as con-
testants. The same methods have
been pursued in other districts.
Elected by Corruption.
The plain and obvious result of
these outrageous proceedings is that
of the total number of delegates
claimed for Taft in states where the
Republican party has fighting chance
IN the election, nearly all of them, If
not quite ALL have been Illegally elect
ed by the exercise of the worst form
of corruption, that which deprives the
voters themselves of any voice In the
selection of men who will assume to
represent them in naming a candidate
for the presidency of the United
States. The continuance of these
methods will in a short time disclose
general political conditions in the
United States more startling and
more abhorrent than was ever known
before. 1t cannot fail to become evil
Dent that constituencies men con-
trolled by patronage, by their own
greed for power and by the particular
special interests they represent are
engaged in great conspiracy to steal
from the American people their right
of disagreement. They are pursu-
ing a rule or ruin policy, the effect Of
which cannot be limited to the disas-
ter 1t will certainly bring to the Re
publican party, but will extend to the
nation itself, destroying, as nothing
else has done, confidence in public
Of the country and in the govern
ment itself. Nothing can stop this but
the aroused conscience of the voters
themselves and their determination to
prevent mere political manipulators,
backed by money and government in
tluence, from setting aside and over
riding the real sentiment Of the pub
lie.
Taft Approves Methods.
Showing how thoroughly in sympa-
thy with these methods are the Taft
managers and the president himself
Iu0 FORMER recently uldue puUllC q us
patch from e. l.. Morse, one of the
Taft managers in Missouri, respecting
the situation in one congressional dis
trict of that state. The dispatch says:
congressional committee which
makes roll of convention is evenly di-
vided, we controlling chairman and
secretary, which will enable us to
elect two Taft delegates"
Here the proposition is so plainly
put that 1t Eliminates the whole stu
alton. The control OF the chairman
and secretary of the district commit
tee, two men out Of several hundred,
is relied upon by the Taft forces to
give them the two delegates from that
district of Missouri. The Taft man
ayers attempt no concealment of the
purpose in view. They are simply de-
termined that representative govern
ment in the United States SO far as
the naming Of candidate for presi-
dent is concerned shall be destroyed.
