RILEY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
For That Reason There Is q Glass
That Refuse to Recognize Him
as q Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry Of James WhitcOmb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species Of objections In the
minds Of many Americans. His poetry
sings. Its force Ia emotional. Its
sincere charm Ia absolute, and de-
ponds not at all on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection Of Greek verse, or ia
miliarity with Japanese art, or i'm
pressionistic landscape. To the kind
Of reader for whom a recognizable,
musical idea limits, instead of greatly
liberating the communicative faculty
Of poetry, to the kind Of reader who
thinks Of poetry as a species of mere
tight-mouthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind Of reader who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their inspiration-to such Amer:
can readers as these James Whit
comb Riley's poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. Peo-
pie have always been cutting them
out Of the newspapers and reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and
church benefits. They are a part Of
the national cOnsciousness.-New Re-

cHAs. P. HENRY ENTERS ARENA FOR SHERIFF.

This week Charles P. Henry, Familiarity known as
Charley, makes formal announcement of his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Morgan county
To those who know Mr.. Henry intimately and they are
not anything might say about him would be SUI
perfuous but for the benefit of those who have not had
chance to become intimately acquainted with him will say
that he has been chef deputy under Sheriff Lkns for the
past three years. and it dsparagement to other sher

in the discharge of his official duty that it has become

not only catches the awvoaor but is just as digent
handling civil processes and is splendid Office deputy
There are no Irregularities in the records made by him.
If elected Sheriff his four years experience as deputy
would stand him good stead in the discharge of hsduties
AS is we'll known, Mr.. Henry was formerly Repub
lcan and consistent Republican, until he became con-
WINGED that the principles of that party were not in
cord with the best interests of the people, When he be-
thus convinced he had the courage and the manhood
to change his aiaton to that party which he believed
best served the peoples interests.
He is splendid type Of young, vre manhood so

RED TAPE CHECKS GENIUS
John Hays Hammond, Jr, However,
Was Proof Against clrcum-
Iocution.

1t Is several years since John Hays
Hammond, Jr., perfected his radio-con-
trolled torpedo. He submitted his de-
vice to the United States government
for investigation and approval. Army
experts were sent to inspect the inven-
ion and put 1t to the test, and one
after another they gave their unquali-
fed Endorsement to 1t. European ma
tons heard of Hammond's invention
and offered him fabulous sums for 1t.
Many other inventors, after a slight
experience with the red tape which
must be unwound In dealing with their
own government, have sold their in
ventlons to European nations, where
they are now being used in actual
warfare, and Swhere they would be
turned against the United States in
the event Of conflict Hammond's
patriotism, however, made him reject
European offers and wait for his own
government to act, Thomas f. Logan
writes In Leslle's. Congress finally
made an appropriation of $750,0OO fof
the purchase Of the device, which Is
useful mainly for coast defense pur-
poses. Army officers witnessed the
working of the invention and during
experiments a small motor boat WINS
driven in any direction several miles
from shore, responding instantly to
the will Of the wireless operator on
land. A board headed by Maj. Gen,
Leonard Wood is to pass final judg'
ment upon the Invention.
