DAWES THE COMPOSER

Charles G. Dawes appears to be
the only prominent candidate for
office who Is also identified with
an artistic pursuit. There have
been occasional rumors, quickly
hushed and scarcely credited, that
the champion fire-brand and best
aM.round catch-as-can swearer in
the republican party was violin
ist and composer Of some note on
the side. The matter now crys-
talizes in Fritz Kreisler's choice
OF a Dawes melody for inclusion in
his own repertory and in a public
rendition OF the composition by 4
symphony orchestra in Philadel-
phia.
AS usual thing, public men in
the United States conceal any such
tendencies as they may have to-
ward participation in the fine arts
as jealousy as they conceal their
lapses into mule-driver's English.
They would as soon be caught
swearing in the presence of fem
mist delegation as writing soma
tas or sonnets. And as an even
more usual thing, the public men
of the United States would hardly
know sonnet from a sonata If
they were to meet them on the
street. They want to be known as
plain men, friends of the common
people, and utterly detached from
cultural activities.
One of the least encouraging as
poets of Main Street is this same
shame -facedness in regard to Gull
ture. We need more statesmen,
captains of industry and bankers
who can write music. 1t might be
good for us to elect few officials
with a taste for lyric poetry. Pos
sibly more of our candidates for
office have cancelled their lights
under bushel than has been sus-
pected. 1t should prove no great
disaster to them If, following Mr..
Dawes example, their hidden tai
cnts were revealed. New York

POETS CORNER
A WAYSIDE PRAYER
By Florence Borner

Oh, little bird, that gaily fits,
From twig to leafy tree,
And helps to fill this sad old world,
With richest melody;
l hear thy music every day,
Then, why must 1 forget to pray ?
Oh, tiny flower beside the road,
| sense thy fragrant bloom,
And stop to revel in the bliss,
Of thy sweet, faint perfume;
Thou givest all thou hast to me,
Then why must l live selfishly?
Oh, singing bird, and swaying flow
err,
A lesson We have given:
If but seek to gain the prize,
In vain have l then striven;
But if helping hand l lend,
The world will know me for q
friend.
This then shalt be my wayside pray
Lord, grant my light so shine,
That others seeing it take heart,
To brave the steep incline;
And, when they've reached the top.

They'll leave their Tights still
