The Hoosier Poet

James Whtcomb Riley, the most loved of Ameri- can poets is dead He has been described as great poet but perhaps, that description is based too much on his loveableness. Whether he great poet only Time, the great interpreter tell. We who too cannot know. Accurate histories are not written by contemporaries. Their vision is distorted by sympathies and preiudces The world has seen many loveabe and beautiful poets but they were quickly obscured and forgotten.
 Riley's most famous work his delineation of the thoughts and customs of the country people of Indiana and. for that matter the people of the same class of the whole Middle West. We learned nothing new of them but only reminded of them. or there was pointed out to us only what had with unseeing eyes. Burns wrote of the people of Scotland but he something of them the world had not known. The Scotch people consequently better known. because of Burns.
 But for his Indiana poems though he afterward wrote many more pretentious ones, Riley would now be remembered only contributor to the poets corner" of the local press But those homely poems were quickly seized upon by literary men marks of genius though they accepted as absolute proof of genius.
 The writer remembers his first meeting with Riley in small Ohio town where he had been hur- riedly brought fill in vacancy in Redpath Ly ceum series There was in that town a Browning Club" composed of stodgy individuals male and fe male who imagined they highbrows and whose of literary study grasping after the unat tainable. They went into ecsases over the mysteries of Browning: they would, perhaps. have been more ecstatic if they had only known that Browning him self. when the ink dry. frequently in the dark the meaning of many of his gems
 The Browning Club" had been particularly active in securing the lyceum But the club dis appointed, really mortified when Riley began his lecture consisting of recitation his poems few of which already had appeared in two of his earlier volumes. But of them fugitive which had appeared only in the local press. Among them When the Frost Is the Punkin" years later.
 The next morning a high priest of the Browning Club called upon the writer express his indgna tion at the insult to the culture of -. The that ignorant Hooser buffoon.

 But whatever government may do believe that there will be private commercial and financial retaliation that will make this spanking very costly business for Great Britain an unusual blow at Americanism If it fails produce counter black listing there is not much Americanism left in the country and un-Amercan government is just the kind of government this country deserves.
 It seems particularly inopportune time for Great Britain to have entered upon this surprising course. The allies France and Russia which have hitherto received financial support from Great Brit ain, have turned the United States. for Great Britain cannot well supply their needs any longer half billion of dollars is needed by Russia and France. Their application has not been received with great enthusiasm in American money centers. The Anglo French loan pretty heavy drain upon sympathes and cash and we will have to be kept ther We would understand that in making loan to France and Russia Great Britain becomes bene- ficary, for if do make the loan Great Britain will have to make it. France Russia must hare the money or go to the wall.

 Some commentators on modern tendencies have expressed great alarm because the larg and grow ing consumption of sugar by civilized peop.es It i, recalled that years ago man who seemed to speak with authority declared that, while the human race had persisted, and advanced in spite of the habit of drinking alcoholic beverages would surely decay if it did not reduce it's allowance sweets To oe sure whether the superior mortals of today are the descendants of the hard drinkers of yesterday or of those who bounds to their bibacitv was not discussed We may therefore entertain the hope that even if should do it's worst a few stern representatives of those often allowed the sugar pow to pass will be left to remind posterity of what all the descendants self -ndugent Adam might have been.
 In the past half century more Americans have greatly increased their consumption of sugar and ii seems probable that they will continue to do so In an interesting booklet by Robert Wiles Cuban Cane Sugar" published by the Bobbs- Merrill company, it is said that, while the family consumption of sugar in this country in the fiftes of the century was about two pounds week. it has now grown to he more than eight pounds. He further calculates that 1T our population and appetite for sweet foods in crease Tn the same ratios in the century as In the past half the country will demand times as much sugar it consumes today
 In View of this prediction. it is at least comfort Ing to note that some scientists speak more kindly of sugar than does the critic whose opinion has been quoted in this comment. Dietitians tell us that of all of our common foods sugar is of the greatest value in producing available energy and it is to he further considered that it is good deal cheaper than meats eggs, fish and many vegetables That there IS limit to it's profitable and safe consumption how ever many of us know; and we can believe that system habually saturated with sugar probably will not remain in health much if any. longer than if Kept oozy with ntoxcants.

The British Blacklist

The British government in placing certain Ameri- can firms the blacklist, under the trading with the enemy act will almost certainly the British cause harm in this country than will come to the prescribed American firms. This action ap- pears to have been taken in the way of punish protection of British interests which seem to have been pretty well protected by the allied blockade of German ports It appears be directed mainly those firms which had sold rubber and nickel which made up considerable part of the cargo of the Deutschland.
 The government has been put into an embarrass- ing position. These firms prescribed are all American firms and entitled to the protection of the American government and subject to punishment by the American government if they engage in viola ton of neutrality laws That they have not been so engaged may be assumed from the fact that they have not been accused of such violations But the British government like angry neighbor rushes in and proposes to spank American children for an offense which their mother does not regard as an offense. Is that mother such unnatural mother as to permit the spanking to take place? Or will she merely protest while the spanking going on and Or will she firmly declare that the spanking shall not take place, declining argue matter which is of purely domestic concern?
