ARMISTICE DAY REFLECTIONS

Four years ago today began the present era
of peace for the United States. Most fortu-
nate is she among all the allied participants in
that great struggle, for the others have been
continually beset with and rumors of
wars, both at home and abroad And yet,
how signally this nation has failed to live up
to its promise Of leadership in the worlds
journey towards condition in which war
would be an extreme improbability We have
sought all the emoluments of peace without
joining with other nations in the League of Ma
lions with its high purpose of extending the
same benefits to every land.
That record, however, is not the will of the
people. The outcome of the recent elections
reveals a wide and impressive dissatisfaction
with the national policy. Mr.. H. G. Wells re-
marks that the great war began nothing, ended
nothing, and settled nothing; that it is no
more than an incident in human history. That
appears to belittle the Importance and results
of that titanic struggle. If it has been of no
material result in promoting world welfare it
is only because the human race has not been
willing for that result. But there is reason
to believe that it has had beneficent effect
upon human welfare aud international comfy
and understanding. We must make it so In
order that the best of our young manhood
may not have fought and died in vain.
Although the republican party has prevented
our full participation in the worlds program of
betterment, yet it has not been possible to
refuse indirectly and unoffcially to be repre-
scented at the various councils, and also to
invite to our own shores the representatives Of
the powers in order to discuss and define a
program of armament limitation, that war
will not be so easy. We have even partcf
pated indirectly in league decisions, and daily
it becomes more clear that international UNI
derstanding and cooperation preferable
to and prevent international entanglements
Even the party in power accepts this principle
and rejects only its formal application as EN-
bodied in the League of Nations.
Armistice Day is properly celebrated the
anniversary of the worlds emancipation from
militarism. That emancipation is not COM
plete, but its day dawned the guns on the
western front ceased firing. The full noon of
permanent peace we may confidently look
forward to as the direct result Of the great war

According to an estimate of Agricultural
Statistitician F. w. Gist, the increase in the
value of Alabamas leading farm products
this year over last will be $1210000 0G. The
increase is due more to prices than to yield
some of the crops being smaller Organized
marketing, standardizing of products and
more busnesslike sales methods have had
their part in fixing some of these values.

THE POETRY GAME

From the New York Tribune.
OF the making of verses there is no end.
Not in these days do any poets have to die with
all or even part of their music in them
All-poetry magazines abound They are filled
with distinguished or clever ingenious or
curious work. A million hands are shifting
the typewriter. 1t would take large, indus
trious syndicate to read the magazine verse,
let alone the innumerable books. If there
should be movement for bureau or depart
ment of poetry at Washington, or for the ap-
pointment Of a national poet laureate, the
poet vote" would be enormous and cow the
politicians. To the hasty eye modern verse
making looks like game, played to the solid
satisfaction of the players, especially when
they change the rules OF the millions of minor
poets Mr.. Paul Eldrdge modestly sings in The
Nomad of the Alabama Birmingham:
We do not capture
Colossal whales
For the ravenous world
To smack it's large lips,
And lick its greedy fingers
In loud delight.
The soul is "a tall, perpendicular drum"
The modernist's "heart is large refrigerator
with golden DOORS" Everything and every
body is something unexpected and fantastic
The imported article seems not to differ from
the domestic. In Harriet Monroe's admirable
Chicago institution, Poetry, Mr.. d. H.. Law
renee, whom we seem to remember put by some
Just posing critic on level with Shakespeare,
shifts from his Incompatible prose to verse
as incompatible. He says he wants to come
to America:
would come, if felt my hour had struck;
l would rather you came to me.
Anything to oblige, but why does he dread
to take ship?
Do you wonder that I am afraid to come and
answer the first machine-cut question
from the lips of your iron men?
Put the first cents into metallic fingers Of your
fair women,
American?
Mr.. Lawrence ingenuously asks himself if
he is in love with his own imaginings. OF
course he is. SO is the whole army of versifi-
Gators. They are chartered libertines Of
language ;and, as Mr. Lawrence writes nobly,
ITO be limited by mere word is to be less
than hopping flea, which hops over such an
obstruction at bis first jump and no great
strain upon his hoppers at that. What is it
all about? Here is an undoubted major poet,
Miss Amy Lowell, telling US in The Reviewer,
Richmond periodical Of high merit:
thought of myself as walnut
Hung above fallen leaves.
Yes, poetry must be game; whether of
children or giants, who knows? If it mystifies
some Of the spectators, it fills the players with
happiness.

was not brought out by the opposition nor
made principal campaign argument. If such
fact had been brought out there is reason to
believe that other states would have taken the
same view expressed by the voters Of Mchi-
gan. Thus the Michigan result is accepted as
evidence that the people of that state resent
the imputation that millionaires have better
chance at the polls than poorer men Of equal
or superior ability and fitness for office.

NEW ISSUE IN POLITICS

From the Kansas ClCy otar.
This is an important issue that has arisen be,
+waan Mavor Hylan and the New York husband
who objects to his wife receiving letters from
the city hall in which his honor subscribes him
self sincerely yours" The husband says
Mavor Hvlan never has been introduced to his
wife. and therefore cannot be sincerely hers
The mayor says the letter in question was
form, letter sent out to many of his fellow cltl-
zens. and that all such citizens, whether men or
women, married or single, are his sincerely as
he is theirs.
The political aspects of this controversy can
not be overlooked Women now have the VOTE
mailing lists at all city halls and other places
from which letters directed to highly regarded
and dearly cherished fellow citizens are sent out
by the ton Must separate letter forms be de-
ysed for women, and again for married women,
and perhaps again for married women whose
husbands object to anybody being sincerely or
otherwise theirs?
One can see the thing has the widest posi-
bilities Our mayors and other politicians may
win or lose the woman vote by the stroke OF
pen woman who may regard herself as a
YOURS truly woman might easily have her whole
political views changed by being addressed as
a yours sincerely woman For it appears the
higher authorities generally agree that sin
cerely yours woman, especially If married. must
be in closer political or social accord with the
politician who thus subscrbes himself than her
yours truly sister should be.
The proprieties involved are especially inn
portant to Mayor Hylan because he lives in
BROOKLYN and Brooklyn has a very strict view
first citizen was careless in the selection of
those women whom he deemed his sincerely.
Some of them might live right in Brooklyn.
On Manhattan island isn't Brooklyn.

was strong practically all day, local
shorts covering and lack of pressure
being mainly responsible for the pres
ent strength. Commission houses
sold on the bulge but buying orders
appeared on the break. There was
little news to warrant any material
buying. although further complaints
of dry weather were received from
parts of the northwest, with a frost
report in some parts of Canadian
northwest. The government weekly
weather report was constructed as
rather bearish although it meant lack
of moisture. Dry weather favors har-
vesting in the southwest and the crop
IS rapidly nearing maturity in Kansas.
Country offerings of new wheat to ar
rive increased on the bulge. Liver
pool firmed up after the opening.
Buenos Ayres also was higher.
Corn-Corn had a rather firm tone
all day with the close near the top,
Cash market little higher. There
was some export business done and
sales of 100000 to go to store. Ad-
vices from Iowa and Illinois predicted
a small run of corn.
Oats-Oats started little lower
but firned up with wheat Cash mar
kets steady and unchanged. Dry
weather talk from parts of Iowa had
little effect on the market.
