JACK KDEMPSEYN NOW
ASKS FOR HEARING
Worlds Champion Makes Ap-
peal to Major DrexeI BiddIe
For Fair Trial.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23,-Denying
that he was draft dodger, and
charging that the agitation against
him is being fathered by selfish in
terests, Jack Dempsey. worlds heavy
weight champion, has appealed to
Major A. ]. Drexel Bfddle. president
OF the army. navy, and civilian board
OF boxing control for a hearing.
He offered to appear personally or
submit answers to all questions.
Charges of some posts OF the Amer
lean Legion. are IAN indictment not
supported by facts" he said. "The
Governments instructions. i carried
out its orders and abided by its in
structions."
CHICAGO, Jan. 23-Charges by
Mrs Maxine Dempsey, divorced wife
OF Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight
champion. that her husband was not
only n Stacker" in the war. but also
that he was not a bona fide worker
in the shipyards. were denied today
by Jack Kearns, the champions man
ager. The International News Service
received the following telegram from
kearns at Los Angeles:
"It is quite probable that the writ.
ing Of the letter by the former wife OF
Jack Dempsey, from whom he secured
a divorce nearly year ago, was at
the behest of persons who are involv-
ed in the gigantic and malicious eff
fort to defame the clean reputation OF
De mpsey and to ruin him in the minds
OF the public.
III Mrs. Dempsey has facts which
would convict Jack OF being draft
dodger then in fairness to the public
she should present them, and II she
has not then in justice to Jack she
should retract them and tell the public
who and what really Influenced her
to make these charges"

When we have finished reading
this, we wonder if we have not mis-
taken our standards of life; if the
senses are not as truly divine as our
dreams, and certainly far more within
the reach of our realization. We
think, we feel happy, we are certainly
no worse. Whatever strange thing
this humor may have done to us, we
are more truly men for having ex-
perienced it. And it is this that prose
can do that poetry, even of the best,
can never accomplish.
Many people fancy that essays are
not popular or easy reading; but when
Addison published his Spector, this
little sheet of essays came out every
morning, as deaily paper, and was
immensely successful. Today there
are not many standard novels that sell
better than Lambs Essays. Macaulay

HOW AND WHAT TO READ
Chapter II: The Best Essays
By Mr.. II. p.

Illustrative images for the illumination
of what is called "the STYLE"
First, good prose should be rhy-
mical and musical, though never mea-
sured, AS prose is never to be snug,
the artificial characteristics of music
should never be present in any de-
gree; but as poetry in its more high
ly developed forms has lost its quail
ties of simple melody and attained
characteristics for a more beautiful
harmony, so prose, starting with mere
absence of roug ghness and harshness of
sound, gradually has attained to some
thing very near akin to the musical
harmony Of the more refined poetry.
Second, the more suggestive prose
is, the better it is. 1t is true that
images should not be used merely for
their own sake, as they may be in
poetry; but their possibilities in the
way of illustration and illumination
is infinite, and its office is that the
perform in the highest forms of poe
try. To paraphrase Browning, it
enables the genius to express thoughts
hardly to be packed into narrow
word.
Third, good prose will never be
very far from easily perceived facts
and realities of life. The saving salt
of humor will prevent wandering
very far; and this humor will make
reading easier, and will induce that
relaxation of labor-strained faculties
which alone permits the exercise and
enjoyment Of our higher powers.
1t would be hard to find either no
bility, truth, or beauty as dintinguish-
ing characteristics in the following
letter of Charles Lambs; but it is
certain that it is admirable prose. If
it does not give us that which we seek,
it most certainly put us into the mood
in which we are most likely to find it
in other and lofties writers: "March
9, 1922. Dear Coleridge: 1t gives
me great satisfaction to hear the pig
turned out so we'll they are interest
ing creatures at certain age. What
a pity that such buds should blow out
into the maturity of rank bacon! You
had all some of the cracking and
brain sauce. Did you remeber to rub
it with butter and gently dredgt it
a little, just before the crisis? Did
the eyes come away kindly, with no
Kidpean avulsion? Was the crack
ling the color of ripe pomegranate
Had you no complement of boiled
neck of mutton before it, to blunt the
edge of delicate desire. Did you flesh
maiden teeth in it?

form the remotest guess what part

never knew him to give anything away
in his life. He would not begin with
strangers. | suspect the pig after all
was meant for me; but at the un-
lucky puncture of time being absent,
the present somehow went round to
Highgate. To confess an honest
truth, pig is one of those things l
could never think of sending away.

- think of it and speak of it as
including everything in language
that is not poetry. In former times
art in literature meant poetry or,
at a stretch, it included in addition
only oratory.
The beginning of art in the use of
unmeasured language (if we may use
that term to designate language that
does not have the metrical form) was
undoubtedly oratory, = the impas-
stoned appeal of a speaker to his fel-
low men. The language was rhyth-
mical, but not measured, that is, not
susceptible of division into lines, cor
responding to bars of music, and the
elemnt of beauty was distinctly sub
ordinate to the elements of nobility
and truth. In modern times poetry
has come to be more and more the
mere aggregation of images of beauty,
without much reference to- the intel
lectual, and still less to the ethical;
and prose has been the recognized
medium for the intellectual and the
moral.
Of course, modern times have not
given us any oratory superior to that
of Demosthenes and Cicero, nor to-
any plain statement of historical fact
superior to that of Herodotus, Thuci-
dides, or Tacitus. But art in conver-
sational prose, reduced to writing and
made literature, may fairly be said to
date from the essayists of Queen
Anne's time-Addison, Swift, Gold
smith, and their fellows; and it was
brought to perfection by Lamb, De
Quincy, Macaulay, Thackeray, Irv-
ing, and others of their day.
In most of this prose we find new
element -humor. The origianl, char
acteristic, typical essay is whimsical,
sympathetic, kindly, amusing, sukges-
tive, and close to reality. The i'm
passioned appeal of oratory has been
adapted to the requirements of read
ing prose by such writers as De
Quincy and Maccauley; but the hu-
morous essay has been by far the more
popular. And what is humor? 1t
would be hard to say that it is either
beauty, nobility, or truth. The fact
is poetry, with its lofty atmosphere,
rarefed, artificial, and emotional, is
in danger of becoming morbid, un-
healthy, and impractical. Humor is
the sanitary sea salt that purifies and
saves. No one with sense of humor
can get very far away from elemental
and obvious facts. Humor is the cor
rective, the freshener, the health
giver. Its danger is the trivcal, the
commonplace, and the inconsequent.
The primary object of prose is to
represent the truth, but in so far as
prose is true literature, it must make
its appeal to the emotions. The hu
morous esay must make us feel health
.ier and more sprightly, the impas-
stoned oratorical picture must fire us
with desires and inspire us with cour-
age of practical and specific kind.
Mere logical demonstration, or argu-
mentative appeal, are not in themsel-
YES literature because their appeal is
not emotional, and so not part of
the vibrating electric fluid of human
ity; and beauty plays the subordinate
part of furnishing suggestive and il

was read IN his day from one end OF
the English speaking world to the
other, and so was Carlyle. Ruskin,
who was essentially an essayist,
though of peculiar type, received a
hundred thousand dollars year as
profits on his books, which he pub
lished himself through George Allen,
printer in small country town.
And in our own country Emerson is
sort of bible to many people.
Those who learn to like essays be-
come very fond of them, and it is only
to people who never have read them
much that they seem dry. The fact
is, there are only certain writers and
certain of their works that we shall
care for.
If you like epigram, one of the best
books to read is Bacon's Essays. Each
essay is very short; the subjects are of
everyday interest, and the sentences
are short and sharp. Bacon belongs
to the time of SHAKESPEARE, and his Ian
guage is a little antiquated. Much
less so is that of Addison, who wrote
over hundred years later.> Swift,
who wrote about the same time as
Addison, is still more of story teller.
Gulliver's Travels is often classed as
novel, thoug as a matter of fact it
was written as satirical essay on the
foibles of England in Swift's day.
But the greatest of all the old es-
sayists is Lamb. His most famous
esay is that on 'Roast Pig" in which
he tells the story of the origin of roast
pig as a dish. The charm of Lamb
is his humor, his good nature, his
kindly heart, his quaint way of say
ing things. We learn to love him.
No one has ever equalled him or imi-
tated him.
III we have taste for the curious
and lol Il description, we shall like
DeQuincey. His masterpieces are
the height of impassioned prose, lofty
poetry without meter, splendid dreams
and fancies.
Carlyle wrote in such jagged,
queer, hard style that nowadays few
people can get used to book like
Sartor Resartus. The philosophy of
Sartor will be found in delightfully."-
simple essay entitled characteristics,
the point of view in which is deeply
interesting. Perhaps when one gets
used to him one will wish to read
Heroes and Hero-Worship.
Emerson's essays have no beginning
or end, and one might as we'll begin
in the middle as anywhere else. He
does simple one thing and that is in
terpret man in the light of modern
transcendental philosophy. He had
caught the great philosophic idea that
God, man, and nature are but one
substance, governed by the same laws,
reaching out to infnity, and kin to
everything within the bounds of in
finity. In his two original volumes of
esays he does this supremely we'll.
Such volumes, good intheir way but
less original than the first, are Re-
preventative Men, Society and Soil
tude, and Conduct of Life.
1t will be seen that there are good
esays of many types. There is the
epigrammatic discussion of everyday
matters, such as we find in Bacon,
and in quite different way in Emer-
son; and here is the page 8. Col. -

No Hope for Short Session.

Legislators may dream of short SEES
sion of the legislature next January
but that is not the prospect.
This is the sentiment expressed by
members of the legislature who have
been In Madison the past few days on
business. There seems to be a general
desire for a short session, but little
hope of accomplishing it.
81 see little prospect for a short
session of the legislature said Sena-
tor George B. Skogmo, River Falls on
Thursday, II favor it. But there are
some things to come before the leRis.
iature and each problem must be Civ
en- full consideration. 1t is always easy
to predict a short session, when the
legislature cOnvenes, but it never
happens that way. There is just so
much work to do and while l favor a
short session. can see little prospect
of it. "

Let's Settle Down.

The election is over. 1t did not go
to suit everyone, for if everyone had
been agreed in the first place there
would have been no need in an cleo
ton. In every county there are those
who were not On the winning side,
just as there are those who cast their
ballots for the winners. And yet both
are good Americans, good citizens
aud good neighbors.
The United States is going right O.
head as the greatest Republic on
earth. If the result had been Just the
opposite We could truthfully say the
same thing. For the fact of the bust
ness in the United States is too big
an institution to be changed in any
great respect by election results.
But the big thing to think of now is
the future Put aside political differ
ences and cease political sarcasm
Get together as Americans, as good
citizens, as good neighbors and boost
for everything that looks good for
your country, your state and your
community. Remember that you are
not earning a living for yourself aud
family bv talking politics or discuss
ing election results Roll up your
sleeves and try to make more money
and more happiness the coming four
years than you did the past four. AS
you prosper so will those about you
and every lick you put in will count
for the other fellow as well as for
yourself. Buckle down to business
for after all the main thing is to bet
ter your own condition and the con-
dition of your neighbors, and that is
best done by settling down and max
ing the most of every opportunity
that comes your way.
