Poe the Discoverer.

NOW. Poe was a ceaseless expert
IN menter In sound combinations,
line combinations and stanza COM
binations. His mastery Of the tech
nical devices OF repetition" and
"parallelism" has permanently en-
riched the resources OF English
poetry. Take also the matter of
new stanza forms. So far as I
know no new stanza had been
coined in English literature since
Sponsors time till Poe appeared.
The stanza structure of "The
Raven" OF ITO Helen and Of
"Uialume" are altogether new crea-
tions. It was instantly recognized
that Poe had done a new thing in
these poems Indeed. Poe gave such
fiexibility and malleableness TO
stanza structure as to justify us in
saying OF him that he found the
stanza a sold but left it a liquid.
Then, too. his rime combinations,
especially his characteristic blend

sonorous syllables, as mapping"
and "rapping' with door" and

&c HISTORY. BY n. S. B. Gras.
Harper & Brothers.
A PREACHER once remarked
~ on the wisdom of Providence
in making the great rivers
flow through the cities. Though the
average Americans conception of the
relation between economic forces
and history is perhaps not quite so
naive, it is far from Icing as ac-
curate as it should be for clear think
ing on either politics or economics.
Certain historians may be held partly
responsible, for they have often been
reluctant to attribute the social be-
havior OF nations, especially their
own. to such Grass and sordid mo-
tives as a desire for material pros
perity. They have talked OF the
natural rights of MAI when they
should have drawn attention TO trade
routes; they have spoken OF philos-
ophic ideals when the rate of coal
production was far more to the point.

err Eugene Meyer, Jr.
For the future, the principal EFFORT
now being made is to pass statute
which will legalize and otherwise en-
courage cooperative marketing by the
farmers of their goods. This move
ment has the hearty endorsement and
encouragement of another entirely
practical New York banker, B. NJ Ba-
ruch
Another of the efforts now being
made by the farm bloc is to provide
credit, under government auspices, TO
enable the farmers to borrow money,
at reasonable rates of interest, on
their livestock and other products. In
this movement the farmers have the
support and cooperation of as good
a business man as Secretary Hoover,
of the department of commerce.
Want Board Member.
The third effort now being made by
the farm bloc is to have farmer on
the Federal Reserve board. In this,
as in some other past efforts, the
farmers in the beginning went to ex-
tremes. But in this case as in the
past, they have showed a spirit OF rea-
sonable compromise.
1t is likely that this amendment will
not single out agriculture alone, but
will merely recite that agriculture and
other industries should be represent
ed. 1t is also anticipated that in the
spirit of this compromise, President
Harding will actually appoint farm
er, with sufficient business experience

of the federal reserve board.
For Public Good.
This sympathetic support from bust
nessmen and public men who are not
| farmers, and whose only interest is
| the general public good, it is at once a
/ certificate of the wholesome sanity OF
the leadership of the American Farm
Bureau Federation and great help to
their projects in congress. 1t is quite
! true that these projects run counter
to the political theory that all legisla
ton should be general in character
and that it is as improper to single
out farming as a special interest foI
government aid as it is to single out
manufacturing, or banking, or any
other line OF industry.
Once when ex-senator Bailey was
campaigning in Texas, he was asked
if he would support a movement fog
government credit to farmers, He re
piled that he would not do this until
! he was ready to support a movement
for government credit for blacksmith s
1t was a sound principle, but it long
ago went by the board, when we adopt

The theory of those who support
the present projects of the farm bloc
is that farming is not merely one Of

very different from the type of polit-
ical opportunists, or Missionaries, or
even fanatics, who years ago started
political movements among the farm
ers largely in the nature of hysterical
outbursts against oppressive tempo
rary conditions
Measures Intelligent
1t flows from the character of this
leadership that the nature of the laws,
which they have sought to have pas
sed by congress are more Ineligible
and more practicable than the uni
versal panaceas sought by "Sockless"
Jerry Simpson and others of his kind.
The leaders of the American farm
bureau federation understand farming
and understand business, and they
know the difference between what is
practicable and what is economically
impossible.
1t is true that at least one of the
measures which they sought to press
through the recent session of congress
went to extremes. That was the eff
fort to have the United States gov
eminent engage directly in the bust
ness of buying farm products and sell
ing them abroad. In the end. how
ever. that measure was modified in
the senate to merely advancing gov
eminent money to aid farmers in car
rying their products and saving them
from throwing their goods on a pan.
