THE FRANK CASE AGAIN.

Agitation over the murder of Leo
Frank does not come to an end even
in Georgia, though sensitive citizens
Of that state who do not like to hear
It talked Of have advised that discus
sion of the affair be stopped
The latest utterance on the subject
is a three-page article in the Augusta
Chronicle, signed by the editor and
publisher of that paper, Thomas w.
Loyless in which he attacks Tom
Watson the noisy, notorious Georgia
agitator, and charges him with the
chief responsibility for the Frank
lynching and consequent disgrace to
the state; his campaign against Frank
and his persistent attacks on former
Gov. SlatOn having melted to insur
rection, riot and murder, with the
/ former governor as the next possible
victim.
He declares that Watson's motives
were to increase the circulation of his
paper. he having exhausted his am
munitCn against Catholicism and for
| eign missions. and to wTeak vengeance
on Gov. Slaton because the latter had
refused to do for a friend of his
exactly what he did later for Frank

murder-but had permitted him TO
hang. no doubt of the mans guilt
existing.
| Mr.. LOyless reviews the Frank case
showing that Watson had misrepre-
| scented facts and helped to create
sentiment against the accused man,
and that he made false charges
, against Slaton, among them that he
was a partner of Franks attorneys
and was therefore under pay. This
charge was not made until after Wat
son had tried TO bride Slaton to let
/ hrr throw his
political influence in behalf of the
governor as the next United states
senator from the state The editor
pays high tribute TO Mr.. Slaton as

lous and. as events have proved, one

There may be. and I have no

RILEY AND OTHER POETS.


If we judge accurately the worlds
estimate of James Whitcomb Riley. in
cident 10 essays published, and much
that was written about him for Riley
day. last week, news standard Of
measurement for American poets has
been established.
Riley, judged by literary standards,
is not a great poet he certainly
doesn't belong with the "W Drld poets"
Critics will not put him in the first
rank Of American singers. and per-
haps not even in the second. And
yet he is honored more by the Ameri-
can people today than any other of
our poets, living or dead. And none
of the rest ever gained such ungrudg-
ing recognition during their lives as
was shown him only last week on the
occasion of his fifty-ninth birthday.
Foreign readers hardly know Riley's
name. Most Americans of cultivated
literary taste, however they may like
his poetry, refuse to compare it with
that of our older galaxy of bards,
Bryant, Lowell, Poe, Longfellow and
Whitman. OF these it is generally rec
ognized today that two stand incom-
parably above the rest-Poe in the
technical perfection OF his verse, and
Whitman in bigness and power of in
SEPARATION. Even among our later poets
there are several who are commonly

gene Field, who ha6 so much in COM
mon with him.
But somehow Riley has taken hold
of the people. of the average reader
and even the nOn-reader, in way
that the others, whatever their genius.
have not And the reason, perhaps,
is that of all our writer's worthy Of
being called poets, he is the least lit
erary." His language and his inspira-
ton are not taken from books. He is
more simple, natural and human than
even Robert Burns, for he never tries
to be anybody but himself. or TO de-
pict any emotions that he doesn't
know and feel in his own heart, or to
portray any characters with whom he
is not intimately acquainted.
Riley is essentially Indiana, intense
ly Hoosier. His homely verse is HoOs-
ierdom turned into rhyme and meter.
And so true and sincere is it that
even though the poet is not great"
and even though people of other sec
tions profess TO dislike the "HoOsier
dialect or the "Hoosier type" they
are still led. in spite of prejudice and
academic training, to love Riley and
his writings
Human nature is so much the same
at bottom that anybody who pictures
any set of human beings sincerely
and truthfulIy makes a basic human
appeal that gets under peoples
hides"
If there is any moral, it is proba-
bly, this-that anybody who aspires
to write poetry, for Americans, had
better be human than literary. had
, better write out Of his own heart than
out of library inspiration. Honesty is
the best policy for pOets, particularly,
and unfortunately Few OF our Amer
lean poets have been honest enough
