What| possible difference a light cast upon | a man's private life could hold to | works which have long been em- | blazoned upon the scroll of Fam we can't see. What if Poe was a drunkard and a drug addict which has been pointed out by people who have sharpened their index fingers merely for the purpose of pointing? What if s a poacher and a wastrél? What if Shelley and Keats lived immoral lives? What if Byron was a pervert—Wilde anoth- er? When we read Byron, Shelly, Keats, Shakespeare and Poe we for- get the hands that guided the pens. hands were stained with worldly deeds upon which a smug world gazes with hungry eyes to search out the latest bitter detail | of their broken lives, the more pow cr to those hands for not staining | the paper bencath them. “This one puny effort to re-estah- lish Poe in the cyes of the world, | that had succeeded in breaking him is as unnecessary as those thousands of similar efforts that endeavored to quash the words his ink traced out. We have no interest in the man himself. A smeared cngrav- | ing in the front of the book does | not hold any interest for us. .

A man that slings mud at an im- mortal name succeeds only in mud- dying his own hands and the man that seeks to gain notoviety by hold- ing up a part of a man's life for admiration cheapens his 4dol by the proceedure. Beyond the criticism of a criticizing world what possible difference can today's discussion on a man’s private life have with the life on paper that the man has lived | to the world.

To go on with the handwriting | samples, we will quote from a few | of those which are especially in-| structive and will endeavor to point out the main characteristics of cach one. The first is from a man named Parmalee or Bebbs, the name has been slightly smooched and is diffi- cult to decipher. Mr. Parmalee or Bebbs, as the case might or might | is an apprentice window | washer and Is unmarried as far as | we have been able to find out. He | wr | “We wish to call attention to your overdue bill of—" No, we had the wrong letter, wait a minute. Here it is and none the worse for all that Mr. Parmalee or Bebbs writes in | Hindustani and invisible ink just to show he's a true sport and not a game hog like so many of these so- | called “sportsmen” one finds every- where. “Gnai mahhib no jungah ben- rali” writes the apprentice window | washer and we can only add that it sounds fair cnough. On second thought we don’'t think he really tried very hard at his handwriting because just look at those blots. We do wish you would try to be a little neater about these things.

After all the trouble we had to go to to steam off the stamp we don't think it would be a gentlemanly thing to do to go spreading it all around. Anyway, from this letter we immedi- ately perceive that Memphis must b an interesting city in which to live; that the writer has just bought a new dress and that Alico Panford was married last Monday morning and the flowers looked like old ones that they had picked up cheap. Our next letter comes from far- off Japan and it is especially inter- esting because of the stamp. It is a light blue affair with two gadgets and a doohickey on it with some writing that might be Japanese and | might be a Grade-C motor oil stains which some wandering pigeon may | have left. It is really quite cleverly | executed and we have decided that | such a gem must be given some at- tention so we have decided to make it over into a felt hat or a couch | cover. We have lost the contents of | the letter, if indeed, as the prose- cuting attorney has already told you, we received such a letter at all but we are good fellows and that doesn't | bother us much. { You can casily see from the ahove that we are literally swamped with | work as a result of the letters.

Prove your eyes are capable of remaining open during a thrée-hour session. Give cvidence that your lungs have suf- ficient power to make you heard above six fi sirens (the six sirens the adjudged of equal voluie to t voices of your hecklers). IDemon- strate that your heart will not ex- plode at the shock when you called (a) “liar,” (b) “grafter,” (c) “fool,” (d) nothing at all. Then there must be question on general knowledge of the city: Who is mayor of the city? How much do you believe the salaries of council be raised? Nami three streets in your war one school; 18 bootleggers.
