REPORT Of LEPER'S.
PILGRIMAGE BRINGS
SEARCHFOR EARLY
Message From Hotel Causes
Activity by Fowler and
" Police.

Health officer Fowler and number
of central office detectives spent sew
eral hours last night running down
a tip that John r. Early, the leper,
had made another pilgrimage to
Washington.
The health officer had just finished
dinner when telephone message
came from Lieut.. Buriingame, night
chief of detectives, that a man sign
ing his name as John G. Early had
sent a telegram from downtown
hotel to town in North Carolina.
Although the middle initial of the
sender of the message was different
from that of the leper, the fact that
the leper formerly lived in North Car
DINA gave credence to the report
DIR. Fowler knows John Early's hand
writing well, and after studying the
telegram he was satisfied it was not
sent by the leper.
DR.. Fowler was not greatly sur
prised upon receiving Lieut. Bur
1inSame's message, because of re-
ports which have reached him that
Early and number of other lepers
might come to Washington from the
1eprosarium in Louisiana to impress
upon Congress the need for a ma
tional institution to care for persons
afflicted with the disease.
Il am satisfied the sender of the
telegram was not John Early, the
1eper," DR.. Fowler stated today.

Amy Lowell

This great and gifted woman
in judgment often sits; her
genius superhuman equips her,
she admits. The bards of epochs
olden, she says, were merely
punk; we thought their works
were golden, but now we know
they're junk. Oh, music filled
their verses when those bards
used to write; but Amy rears
and curses when rhythm is in
sight. She lectures in her attic
to poets gone to seed: Lines
must be lame, rheumatic, before
they're fit to read. If lines are
clear as water, and like bright
water flow, why, then, it's time
to slaughter the bard who made
them SO, Old poets were dead
ringers for mockingbirds and
wrens, but now our truest sing
ers must sound like guinea hens.
1t seems so strange, says Amy,
that people once read Keats;
not only read him. blame me, but
thought his verses treats. And
Tennyson! His twaddle was
once accounted grand, and held
up as model for bards through
out the land. But we have trav-
eled greatly in these high mod
ern times we balk at all that's
stately and fine in poets rhymes.
All verses must be hating, or |
will shoe them hence; no psalter
must be psalting that shows
lick of sense

Most of our Democratic readers
are fully aware there is a well-de.
fined effort being made on the part of
the Nom Partisan League to capture
the Democratic organization of the
state, and it becomes the duty of
every Democrat to prevent this
catastrophe by his work if he can.
1t is imperative that every Demo
cratic vote should be gotten outat the
March 18th primaries and we also
think that if the Independents are as
much interested as they claim to be
in winning back the state from
socialism they also would be willing
to call for a Democratic ballot and
vote for our ticket. We hope they
realize that the Democratic organiza-
tion is the only one through which
they can hope to work effectively in
the fall campaign. In other words,
if we lose the Democratic organiza-
ton then there is no political instru-
ment with which we can fight
Townley. If Townley controls at the
primaries he is very likely to carry
it, unless we get everybody out to
the polls.

OF IRISH FREE
DOM WILL ORGANIZE

A public meeting for the purpose
of establishing a branch of the
Friends of Irish Freedom will be held
in the Langdon Auditorium on March
10th 1920. The object OF this meet
ing is to give an opportunity to help
people of Langdon and neighborhood
to unite with millions of other Am.
orleans in the propaganda that is
now on to urge the official recogni.
ton of the Irish republic by the
government of the United States.
The House of Representatives at the
close of the sixty-ffth congress pas
sed a resolution endorsing Irish liber.
ty, and the Senate of the present
sixty-sixth congress called on Presi.
dent Wilson and the American dele.
gates at the Paris conference to Sc
cure a hearing for the Irish cause.
consequently this movement is sound
ly constitutional and recognized by
the vast majority of the accredited
| representatives of the American peo-
| pie. That this movement for the
freedom of the Irish nation is thoro-
ughly logical and a consequence of
the late war when might was not
acknowledged the right, needs nc
demonstration. seeing that England
entered the war on account of small
nations, for no other reason than that
