THE NEW POETRY.

s
THE NEW POETRY
That row at the Contemporary Club in Phila-
dephia will give the thew poetry" the advertise
ment it has ever had and induce people to read or
try to read it who otherwise would have side
stepped such intellectual labor. Miss Amy Lowell
of Boston, sister of the president of Harvard a
woman of position, means and brains, is the high
priestess Of the new poetry's fame. Not content
with adjoining the magazines with her "vers ibre"
free verse), she goes about preaching to literary
circles that the poetry of the past was sad mis-
take and that the new article which she writes
and stands for is the only genuine thing. At the
Contemporary Club in Philadelphia, where she
recently appeared, her view questioned with
more or less heat. Some of the criticism she en-
countered there was perfectly courteous and some
of it wasn't. So Miss Lowell, who appears to be
literally endowed with Temperament" burst into
tears, intimated that many in her audience didn't
.know any better" and departed in "high dud-
geon."
Miss Lowell is said to describe herself as a
past mistress in the art of throwing hand gren-
AIDES among sleepy old ladies. In other words, the
new poetry is startling enough to make the rut-
worn mind sit up and take notice. 1t discards not
only rhyme but rhythm being nothing but prose
strung along in lines of irregular length. But it is
4
connected imagery Obviously it is exaggera-
i ton of the Walt Whitman idea and undoubtedly
after it's little hour Of flag waving and shouting,
it will go the way of other forgotten literary fads.

A "SPORT' THOUGH A Dry

The popular idea of "dry" among wets is
that he is a sour-visaged tyrant eager to tread
down the freedom as we'll the rights of others
and that there is absolutely nothing of the good
sport in his makeup, for good sport is willing
to live and let live good-humoredly takes things
as they come, and can cheerfully endure even
practical joke at his own expense. Most "wets'
will therefore be surprised to learn that PUSSY
FOOT Johnston has been saluted as "game sport"
by the wettest of Britishers, who, after mobbing
him, have now decided to give him a dinner as
we'll as respectful hearing-all because he
proved himself to be "a game sport, than which
nothing is so sure of British admiration.
When johnson, the American prohibition
campaigner, was mobbed at one of his London
meetings, something struck him in the eye and
his eyeball was ruptured. Instead of raging and
denouncng, he treated the whole affair as a joke
and good humoredy said he bore the rough crowd
(mostly college boys) no i'll will In consequence
he became the most talked of man in London and
the Lord Chancellor referred to the incident In a
public speech. AS for the college boys concerned,
they announce that soon as 'Pussyfoot' is out
of the hospital they will give him dinner as a
mark of respect well as by way OF atonement
The British thought "Pussyfoot" only med
ling prehibitionist, but finding to their surprise
that he is 'game SPORT they like him.

OH, Girls, LOOK
DOES AN AMERICAN WANT TO BE
MRS. PRINCE OF WALES?

London, Jan. 4.-Suggesting the
possibility of a marriage between the
Prince of Wales and an American
girl, the London Express says:
Enthusiasm on both sides of the
Atlantic for the marriage would be
unbounded. Unlimited dramatic pos
sibilities would be opened up by
such a union"
The newspaper said a marriage be-
tween the British prince and pretty
Princess Yolanda, of Italy, is i'm
probable. At the same time it said,
other Allied ~princesses also are con-
sidered improbabilities. The news
paper further pointed out that the
British law and constitution do not
make 1t necessary for the heir to the
crown TO marry a woman of royal
blood.
The article was given prominent
place on the first page and carried a
two column headline.
1t was recently reported from Lon
don that the Prince of Wales would
visit America during this year.

STUCK ON JUROR
PRETTY STENOGRAPHER FLIRTS
WITH JUROR, SENDING
NOTE.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Efforts made by
a girl stenographer employed by a
Chicago newspaper to get a love note
to n of the jurors yesterday halted
the trial of the five socialist leaders
charged with violation of the espion-
age law. The girl, 1t is said, had
been f1irtin.s with one of the jurors
for several days, scrubbed a love note
and handed it to a bailiff with a re-
quest that he deliver it to the juror.
The bailiff reported the incident
to Judge lands who stopped the
trial to make an investigation. He
summoned the lawyers and defend
ants before HIM in his chambers and
later seJt for the girl stenographer
aud a woman reporter employed by
a Milwaukee newspaper.
After questioning the ~stenographer
for half an hour Judge Lands was
convinced that no effort had been
made to tamper with the jury and
that the girls action was the result
of ignorance of court rules. He or
dered the girl excluded from future
sessions Of the trial and the hearing
proceeded.
Victor l.. Berger, congressman
elect from Milwaukee, the last Of the
five defendants to be called as a wit
ness was on the stand throughout the
day. When court adjourned his di-
rect examination had not been con-
cluded.

TOWN OF TROSKY
SALOON PAYS THE TAXES OF
MINNESOTA TOWN.

Pipestone, Mimi, Jan. 4.-Taxes
don't bother the residents of Trosky,
Pipestone county, very much. The
little village is located seven miles
south of Pipestone on the Rock ISL
and road, and it has the only saloon
in the county, and the only saloon to
be found in this corner of the state.
This establishment does a land Of
flee business all the time, and as a
result the proprietor pays the village
$4,000 a year for the privilege of car
rying on the business. This license
money puts the village into the clear
as far as taking care of municipal ex-
penses are concerned, and the only
tax levy charged against the resi-
dents of that place for 1913 is the
" mills state tax and the 6b mills
county tax, making a total of 10
mills as the tax levy for the village.
Before the public safety commits
sion issued orders prohibiting the
taking Of liquor away from the sa-
loon at Trosky, hundreds of automo-
bile loads of people from all parts of
Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Minnesota visited Trosky every week
and during those balmy days of the
"Trosky oasis" as it was called, the
village received $4,000 revenue a
year from the place. At one time an
offer Of $4,000 was made to the
village council for a years saloon Ii
cense in the town, but the offer was
turned down and the license was re-
newed to the old owner for $4,000.

MANY MILLIONS
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FIVE MILLIONS is TOTAL
DEPOSITS IN BANKS
OF STATE.

Pierre, Jan. 4.-The showing of
s235,0O 900 in the banks of South
Dakota, as the showing made the
first of November, is in decided con-
trast to the first published summary
of bank deposits which was made in
1898, or 20 years ago, when Gen.
George A. Silsby, as state bank exam
liner proudly announced that the peo-
pie of South Dakota had over $10,-
100000 in the banks of the state.
This following the period of drouth
and business depression of a series OF
years was looked upon as an i'm
mense sum to be deposited by the
people of the state, but which at the
present time would not make much
of a showing as financial affairs go,
and the deposits are piled up in the
banks. From the time of the 20
years ago report of 100000 600 up
to the more than $500, GOO, 900 at
the present there has been a steady
climb in deposits shown, the only
bareback being in 1911 when the
showing was lower than ii was for
1910.
While there were banks doing
business in the state prior to 1898,
there is no official summary of what
they carried in the way of deposits,
and at times any summary made
would have been a sorry showing. 1t
is related that in some of the drouth
years of those days, when collections
were something not known of in
many cases, the banks just carried
along the loans the best they could
and that the early examiners when
they started on a tour of inspection.
as a matter of form, kept the differ
ent banks posted as to when they
would be on hand and shaped their
itineraries in such shape that II was
possible by a rapid shifting of cash
from n bank to another to keep
the cash on a circuit going ahead of
the examiner, SO that he never found
a bank short of the necessary cash to
w buolhCSS, Dul IL He Hdu
and Unexpectedly doubled back on
his tracks, he might have found a
very different situation.
But that was in the days OF long
ago when the average Dakotan was
far better supplied with faith in the
future than he was with cash, and
even the faith in the future was at
times at a big discount. While today
the banking situation in this state
with a guaranteed depositors fund to
back every state bank no one fears
banks as they did in the old days OF
uncertainty. and Is ready to make de-
posits of all his funds at any time.
In relation to the financial situa-
tion in South Dakota today 1t is
pointed out that back in 1885, one of
the supporters of the Cleveland adj
ministration In an editorial in Scrib-
ner's of September of that year said
that there was no real reason for FL
nancial conditions as money was
plenty, the banks of New York car
rying between $4,000, 900 and $780,
000,0 at that time which would not
look large in South Dakota now.
