To-day there 1s no poet In America, and no poet of the first order anywhere.--Secretary Long, of the Navy Department. HEN the Queen's Jubilee was over, when the glitter and eloquence of the Empire were past, “the tumult and the shouting done,” there appeared in print a poem of four stanzas, above a name not unknown, Nobody could repeat a line of the Jubi Jee speeches to-day. Of the occasional toasts and songs put forth while the ceremonies were at their height no fragment lingers, But wherever the English language is spoken and sung those four after-stanzas are remembered and repeated. They are of the verses few and immortal, “not born to die.” If Rudyard Kipling bad never written anything else his “Receasional” would be sufficient to take the English-speaking world out of the “anywhere” in which Mr, Long says there is “no poet of the first order.” showing resentment Th iness who has met and conquered thes ered the seerets of success and edvancement, and has eailed over the rocks with lout disaster, which have shipwrecked so many wemen who have sought and felled In a business | care LAURA N LIBBEY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.

True, these are not Americnn names. But the poet who sings for all minds and hearts has a birthright everywhere, Genius is born to the wide world. It needs no citizenship papers. Algernon Swinburne i.as written poetry that all the world has read and that posterity will read. So has William Morris. And these are both Eng- lish poets of to-day. But does Secretary Long speak any more ac- curately of America alone than of the world at large? In it so that we iu Yankeelard have no poets? Did our lights of genius go out when Longfellow, Bryant, Whittier, away? No stronger negative to this question can be given than that which stands out from the mis- cellaneous columns of the American newspaper | press the country over. There are uncounted gts of verse from all sorts of writers, Collocted and bound in such crested covers is have held the complete works of single famous singers, these offerings would make a volume the peer of any on the library shelves of to-day. Bome of these newspaper pets have risen to eminence and to single volumes. Others seem to have oifered but a swan song and then become dead to the muse. Out of the newspaper poets have risen James Whitcomb Riley and Frank 1. Stanto-, tv shin- fag examples to set before Mr. Long.
