John G. Neihardt Poems Will
Appear in The Omaha Bee
Works of Nebraska's Poet
■ Laureate to Be Reprinted
on the Editorial Page.
By special arrangement wifh .John
, Ci. Neihardt, the poet laureate of Nc
! Inaska, Tfie Omaha Bee will begin
| publication next Sunday of dally sc
; lections from his lyric and epic
1 r. orks.
Neihardt writes about Nebraska—
he secs the drama of the plqins ns
i has no other great literary figure. To
! him the story of the pioneers con
I tains as much adventure and real
nobility as that of any period of
world history. He finds in the life
of the Indians and in the wanderings
of the early settlers all the thrill and
color of life that Homer found in
the adventures of Ulysses in the
Odyssey or that Virgil depicted in the
Heneid. He believes moreover that
as Nebraskans come to better appre
ciation and understanding of the
brave cfTorts thatfVent to the found
ing of the middle west a new spirit
of pride and independence will arise
; which will make the state stand out
rns unique in its culture.
lios|H'l of Action.
i To him the finest human quality
j is courage. His is the gospel of ac
tion and daring. This spirit is exem
plified In his verse, "Bet /le Live
Out My Years.” which follows:
I Let me live oul my years in heat of blood!
I.et me die drunken with the dreamer's
wine!
Pel me not soe this soul-house built
of mud
Go topppng to the dust—a *vacant
ebrlne!
I.et nle go quickly like a card's light
Snuffed out Just at the heyday of its
glow!
j Give me high noon—and let it then bo
night: (
Thus would 1 go.’
' And g-ant me. when l face the grisly
Thing
One haughty cry to pletce the tray
Perhaps 1
I l.et me be as a tune-swept flddlestr.ng
| That feels the Master Melody—and
enapel
i This poem by Neihardt has had
aiuch vogue, being so widely reprint
| rd in papers and magazines that often
| the name of the author is omitted.
cJohn Q.Jdeihardt —
Its courageous lines appeal to all
classes of people. Once a miner who
had spent two winters in the Yukon
wrote Neihardt, telling how, In the
darkest hours, tfiat the poem had
cheered him.
I set! by Gompers.
Samuel "Oompois used it during the
war In closing nri appeal to the Amer
ican Federation of Gabor to do its
utmost for the nation in its peril. The
poem has been translated into the
French and shortly before his death
Jaures quoted it in public speech. I,ike
many other poems by Neihardt it is
a battle cry that arouses all who tight
at odds.
The selections from Neihardt’s
works will lie made by .lulius T.
Mouse, tlie poet's biographer, who is
i a member of the faculty of the State
I Teachers’ tollcgc at Wayne, where
j Neihardt lived as a boy and a young
Irran. They will appear each day on
the editorial page of The Omaha Be*.

The explosive was set off with the

' to collapse, and to expose a new por
tion of the blazing embers to streama
from high pressure hose lines.
The lire had died down to a mass
of smouldering ruins at that time,
hut firemen continued to predict that
it will require several days entirely
to extinguish the Maze.
Resume Car Service.
Street car service was resumed over
the Q street viaduct at 4 yesterday
afternoon.
Bulletin was posted late yesterday
at the Armour'plant calling for 200
men to start work this morning clear

blackened ruins. The bulleti:., signed
by Wickham & Barks, contractors,
says that, men formerly employed in
the Armour hog plant will be given
preference.
Assistant Kir* Chief .J. T. Coyle
yesterday afternoon declared that
when the fire started, firemen were
dependent u|>cm 'city water pressure
for the hose lines, and that the short
est line had to be run more than 800
feet to the nearest fire plug.
Pressure Is increased.
The longest line, he said, was dose
to 2.00(1 feet, the length of the hose
materially decreasing the pressure at
the nozzle.
O. C. Willis, general manager for
Armour & i "o. here, declared yester
day that lack of pressure in the water
mains was largely responsible for de
lay in checking the flames at tho Ar
mour fire which started Wednesday
morning. He said this might be
partly duo to smallness of mains lead
ing to South Omaha.
Two hundred men at noon yesterday
began the work of clearing away the
debris from about the fire swept struc
ture in preparation for rebuilding op
•rations.
The smoke kef close to n,<
ground by a l.ght north wind, hamp
led the fire fighters somewhat in |
their work. They say the Mack smoke
indicates the fire has reached a quan

lower stories.

troducers," Kieffer said. "I want to
say. there are only three ex service
men in the state who favor the re
