Those who have heard him read his poems remember the simple manner he had of speaking the lines, allowing their homely pathos rather be in to bring the effect. The popular opinion seems to be that the present is no time to try to market homely, sentimental verse or story, play or song; that the people something “jazzified.”” And yet, look- ing at New York, for instance, one of the most popular of the musical comedies is clean and full of gentle harmonies quite free from jazz, It has an old-fashioned plot. One of the most successful of plays of the day is a stralght mystery story containing no hint of the eternal trlangle or of anything suggestive, §ome of the most popular of the moving pictures are stories that bring back old-time ro- mances, full of old situations in which the hero is perfection, the villain made to suffer for his sins. Comsidering these things one may well believe that there is a growing desire to get back to the old stan- dards, a longing for the clean, simple songs and tales which brought tears to the eyes and a lump in the throat. Considering these things it might well be that James Whitcomb Riley, read- ing his poems on the stage today would be as popular as he was twenty years ago if people were not afraid to show their liking for the old, simple be be | in | be than his manner of presenting them | VOLSTEAD OPPOSED BY ‘DRY’ PASTOR Congressman ~ Will Be Pitted Against Wan Who Delested Him St. Paul, Minn,, Sept. 14—Congress- man Andrew J. Volstead, father of the prohibition énforcement act, will be opposed for re-election In the November election by the man who defeated him in the primary two years ago, This contest in the Seventh Minne- sota congressional district rivals in in- terest the three cornered fight for the United States senatorship, in which a woman—Mrs, Anna Digkle Olesen— has been setting the campalgn pace for her two male opponents. Opponent “Dry'" Prohibition is not an issue in the contest involving Volstead, for he wil |be opposed by the Rev. 0. J. Kvale of Benson, who declares himself ‘“as dry as Volstead with a little to spare.” Mr. Volstead: has the endorsement of the _republican district convention, whill both the democratic and the farmer-labor conventions endorsed the candidacy of Rev. Kvale. In 1920 as the candidate of the Non-partisan league seeking the republican nomin- ation, Rev. Kvale nosed out Mr, Volstead in the June primary by 17,- 369 votes to 15,069. Then charges of violation of the state corrupt prac- tices act against Rev. Kvale were sustained, the nomination was de- clared vacant, and the republican dis- trict committee selected Mr. Volstead a8 the republican candidate. Three Cornered Race. ‘With the approach of the fall elec- tion that year, the Kvale faction cir- culgted petitions that enabled him to file as an independent, and in a three- cornered race—a democratic candidate having entered—Volstead polled 386,- 822 votes, Kvale 35,370 and the dem- ocratic candidate, 5,358. This year, with Kvale bearing the democratic endorsement, it will be a finish fight between Kvale and Vol- stead and the question lles in what strength the old Non-partisan—now farmer-labor—organization has been able to retain.

One admired his attitude in stating forcibly that as he had voted to send our boys into danger, so he felt he should vote to pay them some- | thing to partially make up for what they had suffered, had lost. But one must pause and shake one's head over his declaration that the thrown into industrial chaos by the | Democratic party, was “saved fi‘nm[’ commercial d only by the breaking out of the great European ‘War."” Almost he would make one feel | that, after viewing things from a cold practical standpoint, the great European war was a good thing. Evidently the convention refused to hear ord to be history and the old proverb tell is sufficient.” A gentleman of pleas- country, | saster the wise' us, | rance and all the graces and | mannerisms of one accustomed to ap- pearing audiences | read an effusion which he characteriz- | ed as “resolutions.” His name, accord- | ing to reports, was L. J. Nickerson, and his reputation was of the best | evidently, for a majority of the dele- gates to the to trust to read for their information that they were resolutions right. One brave manr, Col. Ullman by name, ing appe before delighted convention seemed him rather than to what he and were all dared to run the risk of being called | unintelligent by stating that he did not understand the resolutions, and there might have a uni- versal expression of sympathy with him reflected in the eyes of many of the delegates. But as long as Mr. Nick- erson, of fascinating personality, said they covered the facts and were all right, those delegates decided to let it go at that in spite of the fact that one Russell Rice, of Haven, seemed to rather hit the nail on the head when he remarked that the reso- lutions, as read, were a mass of “glit tering generalities.” Mr. Rice seemed anxious to sound that “word of warn- ing" presuming that he was giving in to “the wise'” and that it would be “sufficient.” He seemed to feel that the information he furnished that the Republican party been seen New inclined should in the state had a fight on its hands | this fall and that more than “glitter- ing generalities” was needed at this time. The conviction remains that J. Hen- ry Roraback, victorious on the face of things is quite from active work, conserving his re- sources until a certain day which will ventually; why not now?" willing to refrain THE PEACE AGREEMENT. About 200,000 go back to work on the railroads as a result of the peace agreement. The settle. ment, or arrangements for a settle- ment, cover some 55 rallroads. Of course the best thing about this settlement is the fact that the men are going back to work and that the entering wedge of a general resump- tion of work by all strikers has been driven. But closely following on the heels of this is importance and bringing satisfaction to all who care for fair play, is the little item which informs that the men who took the places of the strikers, presumably on men will in the promise that their positions were | to be permanent if they proved themselves efficlent, will be retained. There is satisfaction in the fact that it appears there will be no breaking of the word given men who went to work or who remained at work re- “wing on this word.

It i{s poor taste to say nothing of the fact that such commentator is quite apt to be | mistaken in his facts and hence give an erroneous opinion as to the situa- | tion. For that reason it is a case of ‘Splrils are afraid to wander when it | comes to discussing the baseball situa- | tion at Yale.

WANT MORE WOMEN English Members of Feminine Sex Would Increase Their Number in Parliament Form Committee, London, Sept. 14.—The women of England are preparing an intensive| campalgn with a view to securing more women members of Parliament. They are quite satisfied with Lady Astor and Mrs. Wintringham, but they want more women in the House | of Commons to keep these two from feeling lonesome. They have now formed a committee to embrace all| parties—except the Communist. They | call it the Women’s Slection Commit- | tee, They are raising a central fund, | too, to help women candidates. Any one who sends along more than a| | pound can have it earmarked for the support of a candidate for any par- ticular party.
