GOV BLACKS VICTORY

In common with those who voted
for and otherwise aided in the glo-
rious result, the Stanford Interior
Journal feels to felicitate itself for
advocating with all it's might the
nomination of Gov. Black to head the
ticket in November.
The Interior-Journal adds: 1--WE
believe, and said so, with all the en-
phasis of which we were capable,
that Gov. Black was the best man to
nominate, both because of his &C
knowledged ability and his geo.
graphical location. He is in fact the
only man who can hold Ed. Morrow
a hustle on his own dunghill, where
he is fully as popular as the only
man the Republicans dared put up
for Governor. Gov. Black is daily
demonstrating our good opinion of
him and adding to the Democratic
majority this fall. 1T would have
been grevious mistake to have NOM
mated anybody else and the wisdom
of his nomination, we are sure, will
be shown in the victory that he will
win, along with the rest of the ticket
in November. 1t is not too soon now
to begin work for that much to be
desired consummation."

LANGUAGE OF POETRY AND LIFE

The movement toward a CONVERSE
tional rhythm and dictiofi once
lunched cannot stop with a mere &C
ceptance of the spoken word. In
this problem we Americans at least
face a peculiar difficulty owing to our
national temperament. We have been
as race idealistic yet ashamed of
our idealism. We have yelled emo
ton and visionary moods under mat
ter-of-fact expressions, and read each
others more poetical feelings not
through what was expressed but
through what was implied. Our YER
nacular has been less poetical than
our inner life, and a disguise for it
fully as often as a medium for ex-
pressing it. When it was a question
Of revealing our deepest and hottest
feelings American English has often
proved an inadequate influence each
other the current phrase has been
drag on the aesthetic part of our life.
If verse and the vernacular are to
come together we must have not only
something new in verse, but also
something new in the vernacular.
The thoughts of Danta, Chucer and
Goethe made home in humble
speech, and the simple language grew
transformed around them like the
cottage Of Philemon. From 1900 to
1910 the language of life and the
language of poetry had drifted too
far apart, with bad results for both.
From 1910 to 1913 poetry bent down
to meet the language of life, and at
times bent too far. Now after the
solemnity and emotional stress of
great war it is time that the Ian
guage of life should rise half way to
meet the poets.

HAD BIG FART I'M VICTORY
World Likely to Be Amazed When Ii

Accomplished.

We have become so used to stories
Of wonderful feats accomplished by
aircraft during the war that every
thing we hear nowadays leaves us al
most cold. The things that, before
the war. would have furnished bold
headlines in the newspapers and have
been a topic of discussion for days In
the places where people congregate
excite no more than passing notice,
1t is scarcely surprising, then, that the
story Of how touch has been maintain
ed for more than two years between
the allied armies Of the Near East and
the gallant remnants Of the Serbians
and MQptenegrins who were hidden
among their mountain Businesses, and
Of how they were supplied with arms
and cartridges by airplane, has hardly
attracted attention. There has been
nothing but the barest mention Of the
fact. We are not told how and from
where the machines carried out their
mission, Of how many were engaged
In the task of supply, or Of what eff.

may have had on the situation by keep.

who have held out against the enemy

simply told that the Serbian army, In
Its victorious advance, has obtained
touch with those bands, who "since
the Austro-Bulgarian occupation have
been holding out among the noun
tains and have been continuously sup
piled with arms. food and cartridges
by airplane." Now that the episode is
historical, concludes Flight, and the
enemy can gain no possible advantage
from knowing how it was done, it is
pity that some official commentator
with an imagination cannot tell us
the full story, which must be a real
epic OF war.

JUST WHAT BILLION MEANS

We hear Of billions these days, but
1t Is probable that very few persons

We Do know, however, how rapidly

them. You can scarcely follow the
motion Of his fingers as he shifts the
coins from one pile to another and
counts them The experts In the
treasury department will count 1000
silver dollars an hour and keep this
up all day long, but that is their
limit.

expert counter Of coin will count 3d..

the measurements of great figures,

to count silver dollars at the same
rate Of speed for ten years he would
find that he had counted only 1OO,-
100000 Of them, and that to count
1,0OO.0OO,000 of them would require
1O2 years Of steady work at the rate
Of eight hours a day during every
