THE MAN WITHOUT THE HOE. | i EN days ago The Evening World put the potato fo Edwin Markham, charging that his poem “The Man with the Hoo” had had a pernicious effect on agriculture because it Assumed that the hoe-man is “stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox.” This newspaper urged that a companion poem should be written “set- ting forth the grievance of the present day consumer of farm prod- ucts” and perhaps entitled “The Man With the Baked Potato.” Mr. Markham rejoined, in @ letter printed in the Morning World, that we had gone little wide of the mark,” and that his hoe-man wus “the type of the men who are the victims of industrial oppression in all lands.” Another reader countered on Mr. Markham | with the statement that tho “gulfe” between the hoe-man and the “seraphim” were not duo to social injustice, and that the poet should not have emphasized his subject’s brutalized estate by contrasting it | with an estate “to which the most perfect eocial conditions could never lift man.” Then the metropolitan police intervened and ordered the baked potato men off the streets. Tho latest incident {s the arrival of the companion poein—written in blank verse—which this newspaper was looking for. It bears the signature of the Rev. W. A. Smith of Groton, Tompkins County, and tho title placed at the head of this article, It is a little too long to print entire, but the quotations that follow eet forth the thought—a sturdy defense of the dignity and consequence of agricultural labor: “Subdue the earth!” In mercy, not in wrath, This mandate in the olden time to man Was given, The voice which aid “The gospel preach” Not amore af the divine contained than that Which sald “Subdue the earth.” . . . . . ° .
