This poet celebrates natural propensi-
ties in himself; and that is the wav
he celebrates all. He comes to no con-
clusions, and does not satisfy the
reader. He certainly leaves him what
the serpent left the woman and the
man, the taste of the Paradisaic tree
OF the knowledge of good and evil,
never to be erased again."
The next paragraph In a broad
generality contains the essence Of
Whitman's artistic creed with its
underlying impulse so startlingly
hymned in the famous "One's-Self |

ITO argue about egotism? There can
be no two thoughts on Walt Whitman's
egotism. That Is avowedly what he
steps out Of the crowd and turns and
faces them for. Mark, critics! Other

leads to the use Of the other keys to

Whifman'S View
OF Whitman

No one has set forth so forcibly
or nakedly as Whitman himself what
he was and what he strove to be in
life and art. We go back to the orig
inal appearance of Leaves of Grass
in 1855, ard find him reviewing his own
book in "The Brooklyn Times" for
September 90, 1855. What he did in
exploiting his own work to gain the
attention of public to which he was
strange newcomer in literature and
to blunt the literary censure of an ex-
pected critical hostility was not un-
common in the annals of authorship
but the confession of personality and
hshi.s, the unrcserved conviction of the
vital Importance and value of his art
as the beginning of a new and needed

as the most critical and i'm
-1 partial American biographer
Of Whitman, Bliss Perry
closes his account Of the Good Gray
Foet by declaring that "Numbers
count for nothing, when one is reckon
ing the audience Of poet, and Whit
mans audience will, for natural rea-
sons, be limited to those who have the
intellectual and moral generosity to
understand him, and will take pains to
do so. But no American poet now
seems more sure to be read, by the fit
persons, after one hundred or FIVE
hundred years"
These words, written nearly fifteen
years ago, have scarcely lost any sig
nihcance in regard to the poets posi-
tion or influence to-day in the search
ing examination being applied to his
work in consideration of the centenary
of his birth. Two indisputable facts
must be accepted about Whitman, and
all other facts must remain subsidiary
in comparison with them. He is the
national poet of American democracy
"These States," the curious blend Of
the mystical and romantic which has
been woven into the texture of Amer
lean idealism, but as the national poet
there has been practically no reaction
by the people of "These States" to his
works. 1t has been proven in his case
perhaps more than in the case Of any
other major poet of modern times that
Numbers count for nothing, when one
is reckoning the audience of poet;
and that in spite of the reputation by
the masses of his countrymen for whom
and through whom his Homeric ut
terances were made, his supremacy
was gained and continues to flourish
by those limited few who have the
"intellectual and moral generosity to
understand him, and will take the
pains to do So"
For those who recognized his genius
in the beginning, who rescued the
Leaves Of Grass" from neglect, in
terpreted and preached their message
to reluctantly sympathizing au-
dience here and there in the literary
world, Whitman did not write; yet
they alone had the intellect to under
stand him. and the moral generosity
TO sympathizc with the tremendous
purpose he had in view The people"
the divine average" of humanity, took
their cue from his earliest critics and
regarded his book as immoral and the
man himself as trough" They could
not understand it because he was
violator of precedents and conventions
In art as we'll as in life; and they
could little guess that in the essential
spirit of his work he was following
rather than leading them in the funda-
mental characteristic OF their ma
tional ideals and life.

one in particular that is sure to arouse
widespread interest throughout the
country, having been made by Mrs.
Martha r. Stone, of 1925 Third Ave-,
Northwest, Seattle, Wash She is a
noted temperance lecturer who for
many years was associated with the
late Francis E. Willard, founder of

perienccs with Tanlac, Mrs. Stone
said:

SOY BEANS, FOR HOGS.

the acreage to be seeded and should
make sure of good seed. The follow
ing from the annucl report Of N. G.
Thomas, County Agent of Mccormick,
will be of interest.
During the year of 1917, I induced
q few farmers to try soy beanc as
fall hog grazing crop. Every 1917
grower grew them again in 1918,
along with new men, who were giving
them try out.

beans during 1918. Every man has

ditions. The farmers seriously OBJ
lect to the rabbits fondness for this
bean when it is quite young. In
three cases, the rabbits practically
ruined two-thrds Of three acre plots.
rms fact acts as a stumbling block
IN getting greater acreage Of beans
planted.
One farmer made a test of plant.
ing time for soy beans. He planted
acre plots as follows: May 18th,
June 18th, and July 10th. All of the.
paintings began to rfpen about the
same time; the first two paintings
ripened faster. There was only one
material difference in the beans and
that was the size. The first two
paintings grew much taller than the
latter, but the yield of beans was
about the same.
The soy bean should find place
as hog grazing crop on every farm.
The bean is an excellent pork pro-
ducer and is easily and economically
gathered by hogs.
