“A COLORED MAN’S
NOTABLE POEM”
Under the above caption a writer
expressed in the World-Herald his ap
preciation of the poem by R. L. Des
dunes, published in that journal and
also in The Monitor. The author of
the poem which has won such favor
able comment is rapidly approaching
three-score and ten years and has
been blind for three years. He is the
author of an entertaining volume in
French entitled, "Nos Hommes et
Notre Histoirie.” Here is the com
ment of the World-Herald’s corres
pondent:
“Omaha, Sept. 6.—To the Editor of
the World-Herald: I think some notice
should be taken of a remarkable little
piece of French verse which appeared
in Thursday’s World-Herald, signed
‘It. L. Desdunes.’ It is remarkable on
more than one count—not only for its
sentiment, but for its author’s under
standing of the peculiar metrical rules
of French poetry,. and its accurate
language and phrasing, which is
plainly such in spite of the inevitable
printer’s errors.
“These latter, which doubtless trou
ble the soul of the author, are quite
excusable in American typesetters,
and are mentally set right at once by
any reader who is able to really appre
ciate the verses.
“It would be almost unaccountable
for a composition of this kind to come
from an Anglo-Saxon pen; it is still !
more so in this part of the country, j
and by one of a race which, despite its \
musical and poetic vein, has always
labored under such great handicaps.
So unusual is it that one might be
pardoned for wondering if this is truly
a ‘fresh product’ and not a ‘conserved’
and retouched one. If a genuine ‘per
sonne de couleur,’ as intimated, the
author must be of the same strain as
the great Dumas, who is evidently one
of his heroes. This might be inferred
from his signature. If he were not so
plainly at home in the French tongue,
it would be interesting to see what he
could do in the field where Lawrence
Dunbar was so conspicuous.
“The demand for French poems in !
this ‘neck o’ the the woods’ is not j
clamorous yet; but the visit of the
French commission was certainly the
poet’s opportunity, and gracefully im
proved. As a lifelong lover of France
and bound to it by many enduring ties,
I should like to congratulate the
writer of that sympathetic and sur
prising little poem; and 1 hope it Mil
reach the French commission—emis
saries from the most responsive and
appreciatve of peoples.

DO NOT BELIEVE SMITH GUILTY
The Monitor does not believe that
Charles Smitji, against whom has been
lodged a charge of murder in the
Nethaway case, is guilty. Not one
scintilla of evidence was brought out
against him at the coroner’s inquest.
Several persons have volunteered to
contribute towards a defense fund to
employ able counsel to defend him in
the event that the case should come
to trial.

MR. JENKINS SPEAKS
TO PATRONS
Our growing popularity shows that
in bartering, as in everything else, I
have made good my promise to my
patrons. I stand for first class, clean
business. I began with it and still
stand for clean business. There — no
pool hall connection with my busi
ness. I run a strictly first class bar
ber shop with up-to-date methods in
bartering. Everything strictly clean,
sanitary and up-to-the-minute. Have
your wife come down and your child
and enjoy a quiet stay while you are
being shaved.
