Beede (From, Springfield Republican.) Some quaint Siouian Euterpe has inspired A. McG. Beede. and the re- sult is “Toward the Sun” (Bismarck Tribune company), a book of verse, largely Indian, with notes by the author and commentary notes by Mel- vin R, Gilmore, curator of the North Dakota historical museum. The In- dian songs are nature songs, and co the majority of. the verses in the volume are of nature. Siouian leg- ends and sayings play an imporiant part, many of the verses being found. ed on and others incorporating them. The notes explain many Indian cus- toms and beliefs. Prof, Beede's yerses show lack of finish. In many places true pueuc thought shows through, and in some of. these itsis given high poetic ex- pression. Too often, however, the smoothness is marred,. and in many places the ideas are twisted to gain rhyme. Yet even then the rhyme is often poor, and the meter is even more faulty. Poetry is marked by two qualities. The presence of both results in the pinnacle of poesy, a point reached by a few poets in the history of litera- ture. The first is a quality that can only result from deep and. poetic feel- ing and spontaneity: in other words, from true poetic insight. The second is polish, We can forgive lack of polish if a poem is an outburst of exalted feeling that poured out on paper in volcanic fpheaval because it could not be \suppressed. It is still poetry. ‘We can forgive lack of feel- ing if we find polish; for then the result is verse, which has its own place. We cannot forgive the absence of both. This criticism applies only in part to Frof. Beede’s volume, for his work is partly that of a translator and he has naturally aimed above all things else at preserving the meaning.

We must conserve our every energy and our every resource, for we are not in a position now to say that our country will not need, every penny we have before it can succeed in winning the desperate struggle in which we are now engaged. “There cannot be urged in oppo: ‘tion to this policy of conservation any injustice to labor. There is no excuse in America today for unemployed lab- or, nor will there be during the r mainder of the war, and the recon- souree st our} . struction period which will folow. There is work for every able-bodied man on our ‘farms, in our mines, in our factories and shops and mills, on. our railroads and our boats. To di- vert any of this labor to work which is not absolutely essential to the gen- eral welfare is not patriotic. “In this connection, wish to, state that nothing which I have said is in- fended to apply to the development of our lignite industry nor the production and marketing of other things which are nec In’ view of the fact that North Dakota and, perhaps, the entire northwest, must very largely depend for fuel during the coming fuel year on our native coal, it is of first importance that the production of this fuel be developed to a point where it will meet the demands made upon it. This is one line of new en- deavor which the state and federal administrations heartily approve. There are many others, however, new, wild, often impossible hemes; spec- e enterprises whose chances of will be fully as great after the war; k-holes for funds which should be directed through more leg- itimate channels to the conduct of the war, to the financing of our farmers, and to the support of allied essential industries, which should be discourag- ed if not altogether prohibited until the war is won.
