your statement by that of any re-

That's fair proposition.
BE SPECIFIC, Mr.. Gockeier, or

We venture the prediction that Nj

DIR. James Casaan and the Hickn,end
'Wets Newspapers.
Editor vrginians
Sir,-For burning, tuvective,. biting
sarcasm and merciless logic the article
In your issue OF March 80. by Or. James
Cannon, Jra.in reply 10 the three
wet" newspapers OF Richmond takes
the cake. 1t was a broadside fusiilade
that tore up every thing before II.
Really the game wasn't worth the
candle. II reminded me OF rural
lad shooting buckshot at sparrows
Maybe IL was best for DIR. Cannon TO
wipe the earth up with the wet" or
gaus. but really l. think that these
wet papers now in the throes of
dissolution along the moisture line will
kin themselves by their own antics.
" reminds me OF the story Of the
irishman, who went deer hunting with
a party and getting a chance to shoe:
the quarry refused to level his gun and
FIRE. Later when ehided by his friends
foi his failure to bag the game, Fat
replied, Faith and bcEorra the great
buck with his antlers was running so
fast and leaping so high I thought he
would Kill himself and II would not
be necessary for me to shoot The
application Is obvious Like Othelio.
The occupation Of the wet" newspaper
In virginia viii soon he gone. Like
dumbdriven cattle they will have to go
over on the dry side II they wish TO
exist in a state freed from the accur sed
whiskey traffic. Let us charitabiy
hope that seeing the error of their
ways they viii repent and make fu-
ture amendment. How these wet
organs will miss the fat shekels that
used to pour into their money drawers
from whiskey ads and how strange II
will be for the moisture to evaporate
from their columns and only dry" mat
ter appear. 1t will not be an easy death,
Of course for wet organ to shuttle
off this martol soil but die it must
right soon and the funeral obsequies
will be lonesome and gloomy indeed
| Yes. DR.. Cannon. YOU have done the
work of, showing UP in their true colors
the three wet" dailies of our chief
Virginia city admirably. but 7 must
say that the game was not worth the
candle. But the thing Is done and the
enemy Is yours. Doctor. Let US hope
that under Virginia's dry regime the
three erstwhile whiskey- soaked sheets
will learn better things and follow
| higher ideals.
| So mote 1t be.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. as
The accompanying poems by Miss
Bertha Boiling are the product Of a
poetic muse nurtured in the south and
fostered by a father whose literary
talent is now coming to general pub
lie notice through the publication Of
his daughters poetry. .is
When seen today Miss Boiling was
loath to talk about herself and her
work, but she, paid the highest tribute
to her father as her guide and inspria-
envy father was a great help and
inspiration to me-" said Miss Boiling,
whose "brouge." as some of her north
ern friends call it, shows that she is a
true and natural daughter Of the
south. ~
he was content that his. work should
not 70 beyond the written sheet. How
ever, when the Shakespea.e.Bacon
controversy was at its height some OF
his !. Shakespeare essays were pub
lished in the old Richmond Dispatch.
'Tsused to sit in my fathers lap and
dictate verses to him before i could
write them myself. When reached
the age where 1 could print them in
big, sraggling letters it was his hand
that helped to guide the pen that
wanted to go in every direction but
the right one. With my childish
verse he was lentent critic, but MS 1
grew older and passed the stage
where criticism was chiefly encour-
agement, he became frank and ex-
acting critic. II he didn't think a
word, a line, stanZa a poem, q good
one, he never hesitated to say SO.
"The south has not yet come into
its own in the poetry Of America, ::
said Miss Boiling. 1T has not pro-
duced many poets whose names are
we'll known, but it is. full OF poetry.
