Kipling in Politics.
rom the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening POST.
Rudyard Kipling recently made a set
political speech in England-so far as we
know, his first performance of that kind
and one naturally turns to the reading of
it with lively expectation. Now we shall
see what a man of undoubted genius can
do to make contemporary politics seem
vital. We may not agree with him, for
he is known to be tory and tremen-
dous imperialist, but certainly he will
adorn whatever he touches He will
show us distinction of manner, uncom-
mon precision and force of expression,
with here and there CLEANS of rare in
sight and phrases that will stick in the
memory. But alas for our pleasurable
anticipations, Kipling the genius spoke
only as the ordinary ranter OF his party
might have done. He merely caught up
the commonplace denunciations of the
liberal party and its policies, and made
them seem a little more cheap and a
shade more vulgar than before. There
was absolutely no intellectual lift in his
speech, no evidence of thought deeper
than the ordinary, no freshness Of at
tack, no compelling vigor of presenta-
ton. 1t was only the hackneyed thing
made more SO.

fectiveness when applied to all classes
and both sexes.
