An exchange fears that if the
republican party in all the states
becomes Pinchotic, there will be
little hope for the democratic
party in 1924.S So far as the
Democrat Herald is concerned,
whenever the democratic party
ceases to be more progressive
than the republican party, we
dcn't think they will deserve to
win. However, we'll have to

The guest waited for some dark

blessings "for the vittles spread

broke out in song. just like they
used to break out with itch-a

~ wondering at the long silence
~ Of Alfred Noyes-the Noyes
- who, aforetime, was so inces-
sanity with US. The secret is out now.
He has been devoting his Sabbatical
year to the composition of the first
volume Of trilogy in verse in which
he intends to celebrate tho achieve
ments Of men of science in all ages.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Noyes has been ono
of tho most prolific poets Of his gen.
eration-his collected poems contain
over thousand pages Of closely print
ed songs and ballads; an enormous
and unbelievable output for q man so
critics by measuring up to high
standard. It was only during the war,
when he became solemnly didactic, that
he seemed to limp once In a while, but,
taken by and large, this English poet
has maintained q definite place for him
self. "The Mermaid Tavern" will live,
as will certain Of his enchanting bal
lads, long after the ephemeral verse OF
singers of his own time has been lost
to US.
Personally, care for Mr.. Noyes
most of all when he sings as he was
born to sing-in long Spencerian and
Greek hexameters, and whom he has
a flowing tale to tell of moon-drenched d
roads and lilacs in bloom and wild,
hilarious singing seamen. / am not
over-fond of him when he becomes, as
he so often does, the orthodox relig-
ionist; and though I admired his
righteous wrath in popular pieces like
"A Victory Dance" I was certain-and
I am more certain now, with the
passage of few years-that he was
not crying from the heights of Par
,nassus when he gave US his scathing
criticisms Of little politicians and
statesmen, though never once did his
T. lines fail of the old ring, the old
music. Whatever he touches he
glorifies; and, passionate lover that he
is of England, he cannot tell Of the
beauty Of hawthorn lane in bloom
without communicating to US the JOY
he feels through the magic Of his
printed page.
| If he is not great poet, at least he
is almost great one, and venture ts
say that he has done more to instill :
love of poetry into the younger genera
tion than almost any one else now writ
| ing verse. His classes at Princeton are
popular and cxhilarating and his re
fusal to compromise with new fads and
fashions is a quality in him that
greatly admire-ye., that tremendous.

He has steadfastly followed in The
footsteps Of Tennyson; he has preached
Tennyson's gospel of loveliness and
faith, and he is not ashamed to count
| himself a humble follower of that great
master. ! know it is the fashion ir
