ARMSTEAD GRAFT
FINALLY CUT OUT?

We are compelled to label the fol
lowing interesting matter as rumored
only, much as we would like to be
able to publish it as having a basis
of fact:
Under instructions from the feder.
al railroad director the Oregon Short
Line railroad management took over
the Gilmore and Pittsburg on Sunday
last, thus affording for this branch
the advantages of direct connection
at Armstead, with the elimination of
the G. and p depot, which is a mile
away from the Short Line station.
1t was about a month ago that The
Recorder first announced this pro-
posed change, which only had to be
mentioned for its advantages for the
public convenience to be seen.
There were great hardships put up-
on the travelling public in having to
transfer themselves as well as their
baggage from one station to the 9TH
Ter whether coming in or going out,
with the fulther costs incident to
Staying at an Armstead hotel or
lodging house to await train arriv-
<als or departures. The "Armstead
graft" is what the travelling public
has learned to call the situation
there
n The tracks of the G. and P. extend
% those of the Short Line at the
rmstead station but there was no
physical connection between the two
pads SO far as passengers and bag
age were concerned If a traveller
appened to get out to the G.. and p.
fation ahead of time he had to wait
here in the cold because there was
law of the Medes and Persians
pmpelling that inhospital treatment
keep him out of the station till
hortly before the train departure.
"a We have been able to get no YER
cation of the good news as con-
ined in the above further than the
Rtement that Superintendent Bick-
has gone to work in the Short
NE offices at Pocatello. 1t is said
ere has been no actual change as
M stations at Armstead, not yet.

1t is always extremely difficult to
render the poetry of one language into
another. And this difficulty is enhanced
when the original language, like Greek.
is characterized by extreme richness
and hexibility Of tone and expression.

Despite Professor Phoutrides's excel

tory introduction the central idea of
Life lmmovable" is somewhat cryptic
1t is a prodigiously long poem (only
half of the work is included in tn,
present volume); but its unity is toe
subtle to be readily appreciated. There
is a strong philosophical undercnrrent
in the work; the authors estate pan
thelsm finds expression in the follow
ing lines:
The people of the dreams
w. atnin me- ar like. unto air shall pass:
MY passions craze unto the pillows mad
ness;
Even my dust-born body, Unto dust;
ana shall be again air, earth, fire water.
And free from the air Of dreams. ana fron,
the flames
or thought, and from tho flesh that sha,,

And from the passions sea, ever shall rise

Although Palamas is leader in the
struggle to establish modern rather
than classic Greek as the accepted me-
dlum OF literary expression, he owes
much of his thought to the ancient
Alexandria. Christianity does not ap-
peal to him; he tells "the Galyilea an"
not to Invite him to any mystic sup
pers, and he interprets life, with all
Its mystery, cruelty and beauty, in
terms of ancient Greece, rather than of
ancient Judea
Palamas revels in symbolism He re-
peatedly gives concrete formulas for
ABSTRACT ideas, practice which does
not add to the clarity of the work.
Next to this persistent symbolism a
passionate nationalism is perhaps the
outstanding characteristic Of the poem.

Even through the necessarily imper-
rect medium of translation it is pos
slble to discern the authors command
ing poetic gifts. Sometimes his verse
suggests the thunder OF the sea beat
ing against the craggy coasts of the
lPeloponnesus; again, it has the quiet
beauty Of spring cleaning brightly
in the Attic sunlight. He possesses in
rare measure the gift of rich and strik-
ing imagery. Both intellectually and
artisticallv he proves himself a worthy
heir OF the matchless poets of the
Greek classical period.

More Chinese Verse
Sixty~eight New Poems
Translated by MIR. Valley

CHINESE. ny Arthur Valley. Alfred
x. Knopf. New York.
In this new volume Of Chinese verse
Mr.. Valley has given us sixtyeight
poems, Of which fifty-fve have never
before been translated into English.
Taken In connection with his previous
book, "A Hundred and Seventy Chinese
Poems," these pieces constitute veri
table revelation Of a rich, polished,
classical culture, quite as interesting
and highly developed along its own
lines as that of Greece or Rome and
hitherto almost unknown to English
readers.
Perhaps the outstanding quality Of
Chinese thought, as reflected in these
poems, is It's quietism, it's aversion to
violence Of any sort. to the jangle and
hustle Of active life. Many Of the
poets included in the book were gov
ernment officials; without exception
they lament the pressure of work and
business entailed by their duties and
long for repose and solitude and study,
varied and lghtened by a cup of wine
and the occasional intercourse Of a
friend. There is also in these Chinese
poets of the eighth and ninth centuries
A. D. fine moral feeling, spirit Of
consideration for the rights Of others
that would scarcely appear in European
literature of similar period. "Watch-
ing the Reapers," poem by Po Chu-i,
dated 806, has a distinctly Tolstoyan
note. The author draws the following
contrast between the toll Of the reapers
and his own idleness:
Tired they toll. caring nothing for the heat
Grudging the shortness of the long summer
a poor woman follows at the reapers side
With an infant child carried close at her
breast
with her right hand she CLEANS the fallen
On her left arm broken basket hangs
ANA to-day by virtue of what
Have l never once tended field or tree?
MY government Lay Is three hundred tons;
At At the years end have still grain in hand.
thinking of this secretly I grew ashamed :
And all day the thought fingered in my
head.
Another marked feature of the poems
IS their surprising clarity and simple
ity. Free from elaborate and obscure
conceits of phrasing, the authors pre-
sent clear and vivid pictures of temple
at night, of a sckroom from which one
can see a lofty mountain, of little viii
lages with their rows Of thatched huts
The Chinese are realists par excellence
A collection OF Chinese verse ineyi-
tably suggests comparison with other
Oriental poetry. By contrast with the
Persian, Hindu and Arab poets the
Chinese appear more restrained, less
hot and flaming in their passion, less
given to the use of gorgeous word
coloring. On the other hand, they are
infinitely more philosophical, more
humane, more advanced in their con-
ceptions Of life and human relations.
Whatever may be the material defects
of Chinese civilization, there can be no
question of its moral splendor. With
out any pretense Or affectation of self
righteousness, the poems consistently
breathe sentiments of honor, sincerity.
Friendship, good will. And they leave a
final impre sson of rich. mellihuous.
humane culture, impregnatcd with an
atmosphere of silks and spices and
incense.
