THE FAITH OF THE PEOPLES
POET"
BY DanicIL. Marsh.

ny h. Ni@s.CI.
This is a book written IN a sim
pie style about that loveablc char
acter of Hoosierdom, James Whit
comb Riley. In it the author endeav-
ors TO portray "the faith Of the peo-
pies poet" and give readers of Riley
an impression Of the heart when
felt the truth of the songs IL told
II is a timely book and will aid
the memory of the poet an appre-
cable bit. Mr.. Marsh gives US
Riley's idea OF God, of Christ. OF the
Cross. of Sin. OF practical religion.
OF Patriotism among other things.
He lauds the poet 20 the skies and
utters many good things about him
and none bad. because he writes his
thoughts in such a simple way.
AS a result in keeping with the
spirit OF the topic the author has
written a very plain review abound
ing IN expOsitions and quasi-treaties
which reach their climax i'm a quo
tation from the poet, after which
there follows a little squirt OF viE-
dicatiOn which imparts a kind Of a
there you-are" feeling, and the next
point is in order. In fact the book
is full OF points which stare at you
with a dogmatic brazeness and give
the impression that Riley would al
so have made a good preacher as
well as poet.
The author has chosen a few good
passages from the poets works
which may be taken as examples Of
his best Inspiration:
He sings: and his song is heard.
Pure as a joyous prayer,
Because he sings Of the simple
things
The fields and the open air,
The orchard bOugh and the hooking
bird.
And the blossoms everywhere"
And again in Riley's reminiscent
Song OF Yesterday"
And. cool and sweet,
Ny naked feet
Found dewey pathways through the
wheat:
And out again
Where down the lane.
The dust was dimpled with the
rain
There are certain poets who
should not be written about neither
should their verses be explained
and interpreted I'm books and re-
views such as the foregoing Es-
DeCiauv is this true in the case Of
The HOosier poet. II he is plain and
simple 70 is best to let him remain
- and be read and interpreted for
what he is worth by those who fol-
low his words. Riley needs no
interpreter. The truths he sings Of
are evident 20 those who can see
them and that Is all that can DO

perity and happiness to growers of
the Burley district.
He urged determined and united
stand on the part of the growers to
send word to other counties that
Scott county growers "intend to have
justice"
The Congressman then went into
an explanation of the amount to be
pledged and the time for which it was
to be pledged. Recalling the constant
campaign made necessary under the
old hurley pooling plan because of the
fact that the tobacco was pledged for
only year at the time, he said that if
the plan was a success one year it
would be success for five years and
that unless rs per cent of the crop
was pledged by November Is not
man would be bound by the contract.
Outsiders Profited by Pool
He told how Scott county, in the
old days, stood S5 per cent for the
pool, larger proportion of the tobac
co grown probably than any of the
Central Kentucky counties, at time
when not over 35 to 40 per cent of
the crop was actually in the pool. The
two-thirds who stayed out of the
pool, he said, profited by the price
conditions created by the one-third
who went in. He said that if such a
pool as the old one could increase
prices as it did, how much more sue
cessful would one be which included
three-fourths Of the crop.
Congressman Cantrill said the Cali
fornia plan was simply the Kentucky
plan of IL years ago, strengthened by
the provision that rs per cent of the
crop must be pledged or the contracts
would be void, and with the five-year
feature instead of the yearly contract
provided for under the old Burley
pool eonraets. Otherwise, he said,
the new contract was the came thing
in principle as the contracts that
were offered in former pooling CAM
paigns.
"When rs per cent of us get to-
gether," said the Congressman, "we
can set out our own prices, and as
tobacco grower intend to stand with
my neighbors. If rs per cent of the
acreage pledged to be handled as if
sold by one man can stabilize the
market for one year and make it
profitable for you to grow tobacco, it
will do it for five years, and so you
need have no fears on that account"

Can Demand Own Price

| He pointed out that the contract
provides Representative government
of the growers" He said the growers
in each county would name the man
they thought best fitted and most
worthy of their confidence to repre-
sent them and that this was the same
system of government in force in city,
| state and nation, and by which banks,
churches and al other successful or
CARNATIONS were governed
| "These men of your own selec-
tion," he said, "will handle your to-
bacco, sell it and divide the proceeds
among you who produce it."
"You and / know" he said, "from
previous sad experience, that when
we sell our crops as individuals to
the buyers acting practically as one
man, we get the hot end of the deal.
1t is inevitable that this should be so
and 1T will continue inevitable until
we adopt the same system of selling
the manufacturers have adopted for
the buying end of the business. Band
ed together in union 10000 strong we
can demand and receive fair price
for our product"
Half the farmers in the United
States, Mr.. Cantrill said, are in a
state of suspense over the condition
of their business, facing the possible
loss of their homes through failure
to make payments on mortgage in
debtedness, which he declared had in
creased 400 per cent over the mort
gage debt of five years ago. "Why
not take advantage of the only hope
there is for us?" he asked. "Why
not, as red blooded Americans, join
together for the protection of our
property and our fireside?"
