Poetry Not Mistress
Easily Abandoned
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
An American poet has returned from
England with the announcement that
he is through with poetry and will here
after devote himself to movies and plays.
Through with poetry, indeed! Was
there ever any one who was through
with 1t after having once been ensnared
in its golden mesh Of fancy? This poet
may think he is through with it, but
some fine morning he will find himself
sitting, pencil or pen in hand, or maybe
confronting his faithful typewriter,
again engaged in the old familiar task
of putting, so far as he is able, the
rhythmic product Of his imagination on
paper.
Poetry Is not mistress to be incon-
sequently abandoned. She has a way
of reasserting her sway over the poet.
She holds up nature and beauty before
him, temptS him with smile and anal
ogy, appeals to his fondness for cadence
and music, summons him to speak anew
in song. Once a poet, always a poet,
though there have been contrary ex-
amples of poets newly developed in the
mature or elderly years of life. There
was Thomas Hardy, for instance, who
suddenly ceased the business of writing
novels and gave himself over to poetry
instead. We venture to predict that It
will not be long before this American
poet who has abandoned the Muse will
be wooing her with his erstwhile
ardency.

Weather Hazard Greatest Bar
To Progress of Air Carriers

remark that stark poverty is the por-
ton of those peasants who, huddled in
terror, saw in the strange monster
cleaving the skies only visitation of
divine wrath" The Post-Dispatch adds
its belief that "the airship and the air.
plane will retrieve Siberia from its iso-
lation. They will give it its place on
the worlds trade routes. They will re-
deem 1t from its squalor and superSti-
tion.''
Whatever the merits of the discus
sion as to whether the dirigible has a
useful place in the field of air trans
port" remarks the Indianapolis News,
there is no question about the skill and
courage of German leaders in the de-
sign, construction and flying Of this
craft. 1t is obvious that many
things can happen. The prospect Of
being forced down at sea or in an
uninhabited country would discourage
any but the most skillful and confident
crew. Commercial dirigibles
do not appeal to the American people.
Indeed, If it were not for the support
given to the American dirigible industry
by the Federal Government, there would
be none. The country appears to be
convinced that the future of air trans
port IS in the airplane."
Steamship operators, calling atten-
ZION 70 the recent records Of the Bremen
and Mauritania" it is pointed out by
the Oakland Tribune, SAY that the old
method will continue to be favored for
many years, for it is not dependent upon
weather. What boots it if the Atlantic
Is crossed in two days If three are
wasted in waiting for favorable weather?
Out Of the discussion it is evident that
men believe, whether it be the Zeppelin
or others, that something is to bring
extraordinary development in air trans
portation within short time"

Senator Edge as Ambassador.

If Senator Walter E. Edge OF New
Jersey becomes American Ambassador
to France, as now seems virtually GER
tain, the United States will be ably
represented at that important diplo-
matte post. At the same time the Sen
ate will lose a member who in his more
than ten years of service has been an
energetic legislator. He, is among the
leaders on the Republican side of the
aisle. .
Reports have been in circulation for
several months that the New Jersey
Senator was slated to fill the diplo-
matte vacancy at Paris. These rumors
are borne out by the announcement
just made at the State Department
that, at the Presidents request, the
French government has been informed
of the desire to appoint Senator Edge.
France has let 1t be known that the
appointment would be an agreeable
one.
Senator Edge Is a member Of several
Of the most important committees in
the upper branch of Congress-commit-
tees which have kept him In touch with
international as well as national af-
fairs. He ranks high among the Re-
publican membership Of the foreign re-
lations committee, and on the finance
committee which is now handling the
tariff bill. He also is member Of the
banking and currency committee. AS
chairman Of the interoceanic canals
committee, he directed passage of a
resolution recently, calling for an
engineering survey Of the proposal for
an additional canal between the At
lantic and Pacific across Nicaragua and
a study at the same time Of the adj
visibility of enlarging the Panama
Canal. During the last Congress he
was a member Of the commerce COM
mittee while it was drafting. the legis-
lation to encourage development of an
American merchant marine.
This background Of experience should
stand him in good stead In his new
field Of service.

He can match any experience with
one better or bigger.
No matter what any one has done,
he has done something more worth
while.
If you have seen beautiful building
IN America, he has seen the Tai Mahal
in India.
If you have been to London, he has
been to Paris. and Paris, of course, is
far superior to London in every way.
If you have read of a strange eX-
perience, he has read of stranger; If
you have visited an interesting cavern,
he has been through more thrilling

he has sailed the skies In an airplane.

He began as a small boy back in
the old home town.
walter has such vivid magma
tion," said his mother, when the neigh
boring children came trooping over one
night to see magic lantern show"
which didn't exist.
Young Walter, approaching his COM
panionS during the course of the day,
told each one that his father had just
returned from the city and had brought
him beautiful, big magic lantern.
Now that was in the day when
magic lantern was magic lantern.
The motion picture was just coming in.
Everybody in town went up to the
Schoolhouse to see the latest scientific
marvel, the 100-foot film showing the
run of q city fire department.
The magic lantern was all that the
most luxurious household could secure
in the way of snappy up-to-date parlor
entertainment. The ambition of every
boy was to own one.
When Paw supplied the marvel a
"show" was worked up right away, with
the admission running as high as two
pins in some cases.
Well. Walter longed for magic Ian
tern, and he longed for it so hard that
he finally got one-in his own imagi-
nation. Walter had a dandy magma
tion no one could dispute that.
To each playmate he described the
lantern, even to its exact dimensions
and colors. He pictured in glowing
outfit would display and ended his dis
course by inviting the audience Of the
moment to attend show that evening.
Boydom was rampant. The villege Of
youth was agog. Walters goin' to
have a magic lantern show, Nav; his
father just brought it to him from
Louisville. and can go, Maw?"
When the audience got there it found
the cupboard bare of magic lantern,
slides or screen. Walter had just begun
his lifelong spinning of tall tales. as
they are called.

The grown-up Walter has q story
ready for everybody and everything.
He is so persistent in his fancieS that
he convinces many and causes the re-
mainder to be in doubt.

A lob for the Judges,

Between SO and IS warrants are is
sued every day in Police Court for serv-
ice on motorists who have disregarded
the cards given them, or left in their
cars, by policemen, and which offer
them the privilege Of going to a pre-
cinct station or to Police Court and
surrenderino collateral or standing trial
for some violation Of the traffic regula-
tions. Tie abuse Of this privilege,
which results in the issuance Of all
these warrants, has led Judge Mcmahon
to protest against the present system.
He would have offending motorists
brought to police precincts and forced
to surrender collateral on the spot. If
they cannot furnish the money, they
would be locked up.
It lies within the power Of Judge
Mcmahon and his fellow ldges at
Police Court to end the abuse lie COM
plains Of without unduly penalizing the
occasional traffic law violator. The sys-
tenn now adopted, whereby q motorist
is spared the hardship Of long waits
in Traffic Court and is given time ade-
quately to prepare himself financially
for his trip to a precinct station, is a
good system, designed to end the con-
gestion in Traffic Court and to keep the
policemen, otherwise engaged in haul
ing their prisoners to police station,
patrolling the streets, where they are
most needed. II traffic violator re-
fuses or neglects to 60 to court when
so ordered, and is finally arrested on q
warrant, the judges in Police Court
should be able adequately to deal with
him by infiicting stiff punishment.
But there is no occasion to change the
present system merely to deal with what
now constitutes q minority Of traffic
offenders.
II the motorist understands that

streets, has been able to allow full lati-

streets, has been able to allow full lati-
tude to parkers.
This situation, Of course, cannot 60
on forever. The important traffic is
moving traffic. Dead" vehicles parked
at the curb cannot be allowed to inter-
fere with transportation. AS long as
they do not interfere there Is no reason
why parking should not be permitted,
but when the moving stream is slowed
up or stopped altogether the time for
drastic action has arrived.
Conditions on r street between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets have long
indicated the need for the barring Of
parking. In fact, from Seventh to Fiji
tenth streets on both F and G they
are rapidly reaching the acute stage.
The traffic Office undoubtedly made its
mild mmendation-the barring Of
parking in only one block and only on
one side of the street-reluctantly The
parking privilege Is zealously guarded
by citizens, and the traffic Office has
been entirely sympathetic to this atti-
tude.
It may well be, therefore, that the
Commissioners in approving the recon-
mendaSion for abolition of parking in
this particular block may be delaying
the time when all parking in the down.
town district must join the limbo Of
forgotten things. Clearing the street in
this important section may so relieve
conditions that the ban in other squares
may not become either necessary or
desirable for an appreciable period.
It is an obvious fact that eventually
all parking must be abolished in the
business section Of the National Capital
Despite the increase in the number of
automobiles, Washington's wide streets
up to the present time have adequately
accommodated the volume of traffic
The time has come, however, when
measures must be taken to avoid con-
gestion. A gradual elimination of park
ing, whenever and wherever 1t Is found
necessary, would seem to be the best
method. A drastic rule for abolition at
this date would probably please neither
merchants nor motorists, and would not
be justified by conditions.
