THIS WAY OUT"

San Francisco is long on native
 sons" and not very strong for those 1 born outside the Golden Gate. This 1 probably accounts for the manner in l which the Republican candidate for 1 Presidential h0nors was received there
 Saturday. Even the walters walked out on him. When he showed up at the luncheon prepared by the Com mercial Club the union walters took
 off their aprons and discarded their trays The club stands for open shop and if MT. Hughes stood for the club,
 then the walters would not stand for 1Ir. Hughes. Very simple. And away SC the votes of union walters in San
 Francisco and way stations.
 Truly, it seems as if MT, Hughes should have stricken California from his calling list. His entrance into the state was a signal for one fight after another Progressives and Republi- cans are now down to a real war basis and are in the trenches with no hope of coming out before Christmas. They are playing, one against the other. The Republicans got ahold of MT. Hughes when he crossed the threshold of the state and. the Progressives were warned to keep hands off. If the PrOgressives had gotten Hughes the Republicans would not have been allowed in. So it goes. Tn the mean time, Governor Hiram Johnson who is the whole show in California although he spent Sunday in the same hotel with Mr Hughes succeeded l in avoiding a meeting. The sooner MT. Hughes shakes the golden dust of California from his presidential aspiring feet tho better for him. That is no place for a man who is accused of being a gold brick.

that no dialect can be exactly

l a fact that no dialect can be exactly l indicated in print, but Riley came as l near to 1t as a man may-and that meant work. and plenty of it. And so thoroughly welded are the dialect he uses and the songs of nature he sings that in many of his nature poems in which he uses pure English he sug- gests the dialect though he doesn't t use it.
 Well, anyhow, when he got tired of l chalk-talking he joined some travel l ing actors If he ever played Hamlet the fact has never transpired, and it need not be held against him.
 And when he got tired of play acting he undertook to run country weekly. He says it only survived short time and implies that his verses ! killed it. This was a merry jest, but ! it may have been the truth. Ills father thought him shiftless because / he wrote verses. His subscribers and ! "+ho solid business men of the com nlunity" may have thought the same 1 thing. Tn some respects reputation 1 for writing verse may be as fatal as a reputation for excessive drinking. RiIev's first piece of verse was written when he was child of two believe ne Sdlu i've, put NIdt IS tt z,aor more or less? He never got over 47,e habit His father was unable to break him of it. Later in life, when he was struggling, he sent some-of his verses to Horny Wadsworth Long, fellow and the great poet. wrote him words of commendation and en- cOura cement. Quick to recognize genius and big enough to he kindly if is nevertheless almost certain that LongfelloW failed to appreciate that he was encouraging a school. not of poetry, but of philosophy, powerfully antagonistic to his own.
 Riley peddled his verses. It was good stuff he was trying to sell but he could find no purchasing publish CT. Not even the letter from Long fellow could sell them. He went to work on The Indianapolis Journal and some of the stuff he wrote achieved a local reputation. But his larger fame might have fought shy of him a little longer but for a clever advertising trick, which wasn't de- signed as an advertising trick at all but as a joke.
 He conceived the idea of writing poem and ascribing it to Poe, He said he found it written by Joe on the f1yleaf of an old Bible. Later on, when the poem made a hit he saw to 1t that 1t was copied in an old Bible i'll an imitation of Poe's handwriting.

Nothing Is Easy.
Baltimore Sun

Nothing at all Is easy in life, Nothing worth while can be done
 with ease; stern, brave battle is that of strife On the hills of blue or the con-
 quering seas. Nothing is easy to do that's great With lofty purpose and art supreme; Foil and struggle and grief and care Nothing in life is a moments dream! Nothing worth winning is won with
 ease,
 The goal worth reaching is sacred
 ground, And it can't be reached in a gentle
 walk
 Or a burst of speed and a leap and
 bound The eagle of victory perches high, And the climbing soul has far to
 climb With death and doubt in the vales
 below And the stars far off on the hills of
 time. Nothing one does, if he does it well, Is easy and simple and quick and
 light The task of life is a difficult task, To do it well and to do it right Nothing comes easy, the strife is hard, But the thing worth dOing-ah, that
 repays For the ache and grief and the dust
 and grime And the infinite pain of the toiling
 days!

(New York Evening Post)
 We do not see why there should have been any stir in the senate over the discovery that President Wilson has mpletely reversed himself in the matter of the proposed child labor law. Senator Borah was able to show that MT. Wilson described this legislation in his "Const1tutional Gov- ernment" as unconstitutional, an "ob- viously absurd extraVa gance," carrv- ing the Congressional power to regu- late commerce beyond the Utmost boundaries of reasonable and honest inference" and making it possible, if sustained, for congress to legislate over 'every particular of the indus trial organization and action of the country" That we must confess. has also been "The Evening Posts" view But "The Evening POst' and Senator Borah are old fOgios dating back to the time when it was the custom to have fixed beliefs and principles and stick to them. The senator has evil dent!y not read Mfr. Wilson's letter in eNn1airing his change of front on the tariff cOnmis issiOn-that it is only a narrow man whose mind is stupidly closed to new ideas, who does not al- ter his opinions. By this test MT. Will son is obviously one of the hrOadest- minded men this country has ever produced for he has changed his mind to date on the initiative. referendum, recall woman suffrage, the tariff com mission. tariffs for revenue only. a permanent diplomatic service beyond politics, the merit system in the civil service the proper place of Tammanv hall in the scheme of the universe. child labor legislation, preparedness.

TRIBUTE TO HOOsIER POET.
\ Rhy1ning Optimist Who Left the World His DebtOr--HiS Kindly Personality Lives on the
 Pages of His Books.

(Grif Alexander in Pittsburgh Dis
 patch.)
 The ordered intermingling of the
 real and the dream,
 The mill above the river and the
 mist above the stream;
 The life of ceaseless labor, brave
 with song and cheery ali-- The radiant skies of evening with it's
 rainbows OCT us all.
 So sang James Whitcomb Riley. And now his labor's ended; his song is stil1ed; his cheery call will be heard no more; through the radiant skies of the evening of life's day he has travelled to the land of the rain bow, and we'll know him only in dreams.
 lie was born in Greenfield, Han cock County, Ind, in 1853, and with him was born a sunny heart, a cheer ful spirit and a disinclination for r0u- tine. His father. Reuben Riley, was Il prominent attorney, undeniahly clever, rcputed to eccentric, and known to have espou4cd every known political fad for thirty years.
 What Jim didnt realize was that pretty nearly every job in the world that is, pretty nearly every steady, IcEDGCta6fH .ltjA A1---lS very li%C NOONi- ch0ppin' for some blamed old fire place that never has enough; but he began to have some glimmer of the truth when his father wanted him to become a lawyer. So he became a rowing sign painter instead. He painted signs in Muncie and in Mar ion and in Anderson, and in scores of other placess Some Of the signs may be in existence yet but the chances are against it. One of his specialties was working with soap on mirrors.
 When he got tired of sign painting as of course he wOuld-he became assistant to a vendor of medicines, and illustrated the batter with draw ings. By and by he did a little talk himself, principally in the Hoosier dialect of which he was making study. And right here 1t must be noted that Rilcy's Hoosier dialect poems are not made np of any hap hazard misspellings. There is war rant for every word he uses It is

tached to his congregation. Eventual ly he drew upon the whole city for his congregation. The news papers took him for their own, published his ser mons, and such a demand was set up for these works that they were issued later in pamphlets. In this way Lon don heard of him. And when the City Temple there needed a new minister the man from Cedar Rapids won the place. It is a long way from Cedar RaDids to London but the distance is no further than the carrying power of a strong man in a small town no mat ter what his calling.

Experts were satisfied. Some declared that nobody but Poe could have writ ten it. William Cullen Bryant praised it highly. Here is little of it. Leonaine angels named her
 And they took the light
 Of the laughing stars and framed her
 In smile of white:
 And they made her hair of gloomy Midnight, and her eyes of bloomy Moonshine, and they brought her to In the solemn night.
 Later when the literary experts learned that it was simply Riley's "bloomy moonshine" they were nat urally indignant. Bryant never for gave him. Riley in his later years. was ashamed of the trick and never would allow the poem to have a place in his published volumes.
 But the fact remains that but for the clever imposture fame might have been as long in visiting him as it was in visiting the man he initiated. Bays may grace, but they don't tickle tho brow of a poet when he is dead.
