Has Poetry q Bad Namei

To THE EpIToR OF THE SUN-Sir: Apro-
pos OF Lord Dunsany's lecture, most
people seem to like to be considered ideal
but shy at the thought OF being consid-
cred poeticaL Yet idealism and poetry
are certainly FIRST cousins. II not twins.
For some reason or other poetry has
got bad name among US. as. indeed, II
has In England too. If you please, we
are apt to class 1t as a mere effiorescence
OF Stiffness. May It be the province of
Lord Dunsany to correct this.

Those Who Work With Their Hands,
with Their Brains, and with
Their Savings.

We have received from an esteemed
reader the following criticism Of a
supposed lacuna in the notable dis
cussion of wage conditions in DR.
NICHOLAS MURRAY BUFFERS address
last Monday before the Institute Of
Arts and Sciences:
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir:
Your comments on the address of DR..
BUTLER in to-day's paper are fine and
they will receive quick approval from
those who work with their hands and
from those who work with their
brains, but not much approval from
those who work with their savings
The reason for this is found In DR..
BuTLER's own remark that in hard
times wages and salaries must be
paid and the deficit made up by stop
ping wages or dividends to those who
work with their savings. But II all
three share in the profits why should
not all three share In the losses?
II believe that simple and just
way out OF this cause for dissatisfac-
tion on the part Of those who work
with their savings would be to have
Q fund set aside out of the profits in
good times to guarantee the continu-
ance of dividends when they are not
earned in bad times. Some of our
large Industrial concerns have already
started a scheme of this kind.
what I don't like about DR.. BUT
LERs plan Is that he lays bare this
injustice to those who work with
eheir savings but passes over 1t with
out comment and without trying to
remedy it, and that is the usual feel.

Of the pamphlet this passage, cover
ing specifically and precisely the poin
referred to in his intelligent and other
wise we'll informed comment:
'.Reasonableness indicates that this
profit should not go to one group
alone of the three who cooperate in
production but should be apportioned
between all three groups in accord
ance with a plan drawn to meet the
facts of a given industry.
"If, on the other hand, there be a
in the amount needed to meet all of
the items just stated, the amount OF
that deficiency is met, as matters now
stand, by those who work with their
savings alone. There is merit in the
suggestion that a given industry
should. in years of prosperity. estab-
Nsh an undistributed reserve fund
against which should be charged any
losses that might subsequently be
incurred"

The proposition stated in the letter

manly and succinctfy that 1t will

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sun
Sir: look to you for advice. I
have been for many years a clerk in
the municipal service and am in re-
ceipt Of al annual salary Of only
$1.4oo. I have a son and a daugh-
ter attending high schools. Aware of
the opportunity In this city Of ac-
quiring a superior education. my
wife and myself determined some
years ago to make every sacrifice to
educate our son In order that he
might embrace a professional career.
You can imagine my consterna-
ton when he said to me last night:
Dad, what is the good OF continuing
at school any longer? understand
there are thousands of lawyers and
doctors who do not earn two thou

or chauffeur gets forty and forty-fve
dollars a week. think I'll quit I
