THE " SitT' 3MAG" Ilk:LIES'< (Note: The folio wing conniuznica- tion concerns Don Coney, literary edi- itor of The Daily, who wrote a review of G. 1). Eaton's "Blackfurrow" forj The Daily of Sunday, February 22. It' is written by Saul ('arson, who con-1 tributed an article about Eaton to the same issue.)' To the Editor: It is not that Ikon ('oney hay written a profound rev-iew, nor thiat ibe has, written a review at all that I (lip my hand into the tar b~arr-el and c-ry for a sack of feathers. Neither is it be- cause Coney has shown -an obvious jealous disposition. Not even for the reason that either Eaton or his first novel need any extensiv~e apologia, do I yell for Coney's blood. "Who is Coney, what is he ?" I again paraphrase the reviewer of the G. D. E.'s "Backfurrow"' in your issue of February 22. The review gives the answer as fully as anyone short of imbecility wants to know it. Coney became literary editor of the extinct Sunday Magazine after Eaton was kicked off the publications for making himself obnoxious to the local powers. A well deserved fate, which proved that the enthroned, like army officers, are "gentlemen by courtesy of Congress." Coming at a. time when some sort of{ a standard of criticism had already been set by Eaton, Coney's first con- cern was with the question of attract- ing some rays from the glow which was about Eaton. lie chaferl undier the knowledge that hie was considered a compromise aiticle between the erudite Eaton and the. mediocrity that was the rest.I Coney's prime move was to ask the staff of the Sunday Magazine to re- member that hie was "not merely fill- ing Eaton's shoes," but tbat he had a pair of gunboats of his 'own to wade around in. The staff, as far as I remember, gave Mr. Coney the opportunity that he asked for. But in vain. There was4 Eaton, enI coulisses, attracting all the notice, while Donald continued to pre- sent the inlsip~id tragi-comedy of a lumbering oaf p~osing as a critic and I an artist-a, poseur, with nothing b)ut eccentric appearance to attest his artistry.

MOORE 1 i speed of life, they will continue to amuse themselves with campus activi- ties, jazz, the movies, bootlegging, and being an Al sheik or flapper. To me the late President Burton, with all due respect to his memory as abig man, and many limited radicalsj who were forever yapping at his heels, weire and are up against the samej problem. Burton by his activities sought to bring edlucation to every- one's loor, to p~opularize it. But, my (lear Mr. Hloffmian, as you well know, jcitai 1 i ttrsominis;l i so (disinmcti ve and unique that the relatively small audiences are ,not regrettable, but I, slightly ridiculous. These concerts contribute simply andl definitely a por- tion of that sentiment we call cult ure , restful andl quiet, white and beautiful. The program 'lpresented yesterdlay a fternoon opened witli the Mich Fan- tasia and I+ Fgue in C mninor, whxich hardly becomes inmpressive on the or- gan, especially on thle one in Hll audfitoriunm with its stubborn resist,- ance to technical cadnzas.'y1'- andiwas PERFUME Also The Latest in VENETIAN VIALS WKAT 110?A TDEMAGOGUJE Those who are used to the moist atmosphere of a state political gather- ing no doubt, found inspiration and comfort in the rantings of two Demo- cratic p~oliticians at the pre-conven- tion banquet of opponents of Repub- licanismn, Thursday night. At any rate there was considerable applause.j To the uninitiated, however, the re- mar-ks of Senator Royal S. Copeland and Alva M. Cummins were little short of disgusting. There was no dis- play of intelligent or constructive reasoning which would impress any- one with more than a grade school education. It appears certain that Senator Copeland-Mr. Cumnmins can be dis- regarded as a man of smaller cali- { bre-- absorbed little of the atmosphereI of learning during his short residence1 in Atnn Arbor, and what he did was quickly submerged by the foul air of New York's dubious political melee. His ready recourse to vulgarity, his careless and unfounded statements concerning reputable men, his wild dleclai rations about the impossibility of refor-ming the Senate and the im- practicability of the League of Nations stampedl hime ouickly as the worst type of demnagogue which today saps the life of p~arty government in this coun- try. The gi-eat regret must be that such a Democrat, has attained to one of the fewx positions of political importance r a lote to thme party by the. people of the nation. If he is typical of the "big"~men in that party, the Republi- cans seem doomed to many years of success and prosperity.
