 x. It would be wrong, however, to leave the impression that with so promising a. start the symbolist move ment had achieved little in the way of positive accomplishment While one must admit that as individuals they are too often dehected from the high road of life into the bypaths of the extremist and, faddist, that they too readily take the bizarre and ob- seure for the genuinely mysterious and suggestive this is g. fault to which their undertaking made the especially liable. French poetry is by it's es- sence and it's tradition Journalistic. It is through form that our thought or our emotion assumes objective reality and exists as a. thing in itself. Art is an in1ua ediate semb1ance. Liter ature portrays the universal in the form of the particular. If, then, you blur the outlines upon which form is dependent you destroy poetry. The tenet of the symbolists to be vague rather than precise naturally blind ed them to this important law. As a conseqN1ence much of their work is a nulltty.-Williarn A. Nitze, in the June number of The North American Review.

no further definite action for federal control Of the opium and allied traf-
 hcs of the United States This state ment appears in the report of the Sec retary of State on anti-opiuin legisla- ton, referred to Congress, April 21,
 1913, by President Wilson. Of the for efgn nations cooperating in the anti narcotic movement. many have enact ed drastic domestic laws on the mat ter. But here is still staged the spec tacle of separate states with differing laws inadequate to the situation both
 in detail and in enforcement. The ef- forts are not to be undervalued of those states which have seen the drug peril in this country and have used the means within their power to con tro1 this evil; but at the conference soon to be resumed at The Hague, sig nif1cance will lie not in our stringent individual state laws but in the qua1- ity of our federal legislation; not in sporadic local efforts but in laws ex- pressing the attitude of the nation as a whole. Meantime there are few if any subjects regarding which legisla- tion is in a more chaotic condition than the laws designed to minimize the drug-habit evil.' It should not be forgotten that three years ago the number of drug addicts in this coun- try was estimated at more than one million; that 100000 pounds of opium are imported into the United States and consumed yearly, and 150, 600 ounces of cocain illegitimately used; that drugged soothing syrups.' med icated ':soft drinks" and habit-form- ing 'treatments'' galore still spell prosperity for their exploiters. and
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-27

that almost daily are seen such re- ports as "coca1n used by sons of prom inent families" boys use heroin, ' tsheEoin coush-tahIets bought daily at confectionery store by school girls of Il and 15''; or yet again. physicians sell cocain to drug-fends,'' doctor sells cocain to boys Such facts must stir every one to respond to President Wilson's special message of April q, 1913:
 ''1t will always be, am confident, a subject of qualification to the na- ton. that this government, realizing the extent of the opium and allied evils, should have initiated the world wide movement toward their abolition. At this vital period of the movement to fail to take a. few final steps nee essary definitely and successfully to conclude the work would be unthink- able, and I therefore trust that there may be no delay in the enactment of the desired legFsIation and the con- sequen& mitigation if not the suppres- sion of the vice which has caused such worldwide misery and degradation
 The admirable efforts made by the Chinese nation to free itself from the opium trafffc are well known. Surely, says The Journal of the American MedicIa Association. a young and wig orous country like ours will not sIotn- fully permit Itself to be overcome by the evil which has been so manfulIy withstood by the ancient land Of Chi na. nor permit in its own legislation a weakness which might tempt China from the ''unswerving sincerity or its policy in recent years.

s.sYMBOLIsT1C POETRY
 IN FRANCE.''

By degrees the symboIsts work around from the point of view that art is an evocation. to the position that art, through it's intrinsic formal elements hampers evocation and pre- vents the work of the poet While the forerunners of sym bolism had been scrupulous about form, the la ter poets strive to annihilate form as much as possible. And. upon this rock the symbolist movement .found- ers The synnbolise not only turns inpressionist-to the extent even of confusing prose with poetry-but his impressionism verges on the unintel- Hgib1e and on the inane. It iss pos sfble to quote stanza upon stanza of synbolistic verse in which no one ex- cept perhaps the author could ind any sense. And without going that far; Rimbaud's famous sonnet upon the colors corresponding to the vowels of the alphabet, "A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu," has signifl- canoe only for a person capable of
