MAGIC CAMPOAMOR

Ell poetaa singularisimo, verdade-
ramente extraordinario que hoy vie

gar sefialado en- esta galerfa de hom-
bre' ilustres, naci6 en- Navia, provin-
cia de Oviedo, ell "a, De SEPTIEM-
BRE DE 1917, y despuss de hacer
algunos estudios de humanidades,
siendo va un hombre hecho y dere-
cho, vino a Madrid "donde empren-
dios la carrera de Medicina, casi a
la par que comenzo "a dar a conocer
su genio pe6tico en- algunos salones
particulares y en- FL Liceo y otros
circuloss literarios."
Pronto abandono la Medicina para
ocuparse tan solo de literature de
polftica, alternando SUI labor poe
tica con sus trabajos periodfsti-
cos. En- Ell Estado v en- polemica
con CASTELAR,, que dirigfa La Demo-
cracia, publico Campoamor una Sc
rie de articulos, notables lunino-
sos, acerca de La f6TnlaId del pro-
0reso. Despues coleccion6 estos ar
tfculos con el tftulo de Pol6micds con
La Democracid y en- breve Sc ag6to
la edicion.
Ademas de sus obras poeticas, que
son las que realmente lie han dado
fama universal immortal, ha. es-
critic en- prosa Ell PersonaIismo, Lo
Absolute, La flosofia de las leyes,
Ell Ideismo, su dfscurso de reception
en- la Academia de la Lengua, La
Metafisica limpia, fjd n da esple,l-
dor al lenguaje y alguna otra que
no recuerdo, obras, todas elias de
fondo filos6fico de verdadera i'm

Ell MIJNDU

ra Ruiz Aguilera la define diciendo
que "la dolora es una composition
poetica en- la cual debe hallarse cons
tantemente unida un sentimiento
melancolico, mas menos acerbo,
cierta importancia ilosofica." Otros
muchos crfticos definen este genero
de poesia en- iguales o parecidos ter
minos, concediendole todos una inn
portancia capitalisima.
En- 1862 ingres6 don Ramon de
Campoamor Campoosorio en- la
Academia Espanola de la Lengua,
y, por haber sido politico, fue varias
veces gobernador de provincial, di-
rector general, censejero de Estado,
diputado Cortes Y senador del rel
no. Aunque parezca mentira, un IL
terato tan inovador, tan volteriano,
tan liberal, tan revolucionario fue
conservador l.. Pero, esceptico en- po-
Utica, como en- todo, al ser pregunz
tado una vez por que distrito habia
salido diputado, contesto:
-Por Romero Robledo.
Con 10 cual vino signifcar que
a los diputados catneros no los elige
ell pals, sino ell ministro de la Gober-
nacion, como entonces 10 era Ro-
Nero.
Clarfa (Leopoldo Alas) decia. que.
Campoamor era "conservador por
broma, la broma mas pesada de, las
suyas"; uno de sus mas importan-
tes bi6grafos, don Elias Zerolo, ana
de: 'Don Ramon no puede ser con-
servador de veras, por 10 menos
cuesta trabajo tenerlo por tai des-
pues de leer sus doloras, mas aun
despues de conocerle personalmen-
te." Con efecto, yo tuve el honor Y
la dicha de tratarlo con alguna in
timidad y confeso sinceramente que
era uno de los hombres mas llanos,
sencillos y democratas que he como
cido, siendo la yez un conservador
agradabilisimo.
Ell citado Manuel de la Revilla,
ocupandose de nuestro poeta en- la
ReUista contempondneG, ha escrito,
entire otras cosas, 10 siguiente:
"Los que por ventura no conozcan
personalmente Campoamor y juz-
guen al hombre por ell poeta, quiza
Sc imaginaran que ell autor de las
doloras es un personaje f1nebre Y
desesperado, de luenga barba, ro-
mantica melena y mirada fatal, de-
vorado por los pesares, amargado
por la duda.y sumido en- negra me-
lancolia, fruto de agitada tormen-

unnel is too absurd to need contra

tunnel is too absurd to need contra diction.
 What MT. Nourse says about the Portage route is in part correct When he says that Portage Bay is better harbor than Resurrection Bay, he is absolutely wrong, for it is not, but it is a good harbor and one possess ing all the requisites necessary for the 1 terminal of the railroad. In view of the fact that an appropriation of $35,0O0,- 900 had already been made to build the railroad it is strange that the en- 1 gineerS feared to ask congress for an appropriation to build the Portage tunnel, when it appears that all that was necessary was for them to show to the President and Secretary of the Interior, the advantages of the route and obtain an executive order for the location of the terminal
 | The idea that Anchorage was ever l considered as the sole coast terminal for the railroad is also another absurd ity, which only person ignorant of conditions would have suggested.
 Cook Inlet is closed to navigation for several months of the year, and only the wholly uniformed would suggest the idea of building road to a port which would render the road useless for several months each year.
 Possibly in time the loop" on the government railroad will be eliminat- ed and an easier grade located. This will have to be done if the road is to become coal or ore carrying road of any magnitude, but for the present it 1t suffices for all the traffic it is call ed upon to handle. If the tonnage in- creases and the heavy grades on the present line cannot be decreased, then some other route to ocean carriers must be selected, and at this time Portage bay appears the most feasi- ble port
 Publicity is what Alaska needs, but not the kind served up by Mr. Nourse. We are perfectly willing to admit that our railroads are not New York Gen. trals; our roads and trails are not boulevards, and that we are a from tier country, lacking in many of the softer things of life; but in addition to this we want a word about the coal, the gold, the copper, and the beauties of the scenery. We don't object to the truth when all of it is told, but we do object to it being all one-sided.

ADVERTISING ALASKA
(ValdeZ Miner)

Those who anticipated that Alaska )uld receive a large amount of ad rtising through the press cores ndents who accompanied President arding on his Alaska trip are doom
 to disappointment.
 Instead of lauding the beautiful emery, the cool, delightful summer
 ather, ot lending their praise to the sources Of the Territory, their atti dr has been o1e of criticism and ut finding. The writer talked at me length with several Of the cor spondents with the presidents party d almost invariably found them ed with their long journey and anx- us to get home. Scenery, glaciers, ines, fishing, hunting-nothing of is sort appealed to them. They had It one desire-to get back home.
 In another column we reproduce an ticle which appeared in the Seattle )st Intelligencer, written by one of csc correspondents. This article ows on its face the attitude of the an who wrote it, and reflects the at- ude toward Alaska and things Al kan of a majority of his fellows.
 The article shows no attempt at irness, only spirit to criticize, and Lversely. Had the writer of this ar 2le desired to know and write the uth he could have obtained right in ward official documents which ould have refuted many of his state ents, but he was not interested in e truth-he wanted to knock and proceeded to do so.
 Undoubtedly all he says about the tigue of the President and Mrs. Hard g is true, but further than that there
 little that is. When he speaks of tC SOFC1 AA4lCnI hdF4u5 pul CudSSu om the Morgan and Guggenheim in- rests, at a fabulous price, a line of ,ilroad from Seward to Anchorage, is wrong, either through ignorance, difference, or intent in practically 5ery premise. The price paid was not bulous, the road was not purchased om the Guggenheim interests, and it i'd not run from Seward to Anchor 5e. In fact the completed line did not pproach within forty miles of the resent town of Anchorage, nor was lere any such town when the line as purchased, or rather when ar
