Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetry and Prose, Selections From the Works of Ridgway George Rowley "All lovers of good poetry will find a beautiful original poem on our first page, entitled, ´Swift the Days of Spring arc Passing. It is from the pen of our gifted contributor, ´R´ "´Only a Little Brook,´ a beautiful poem by ´R´ will be admired by every lover of the Divine Muse." "´The Wounded Scout´ contains a grand idea clothed in state by measure." "´R´ comes back to us again this week as fresh and vigorous as ever. He is cordially welcomed by our many readers." "Don´t fail to read ´R´s´ charming ´Christmas Memories´ in these columns. It is better than good." "A beautiful original poem, ´The Wooing of Nature,´ by ´R´ will appear next week." And so they kept coming. With such provocation as this why shouldn´t one - well let a-mind. A word in explanation of some of the prose articles may be in order. The writer at that time was engaged in a very strenuous contest in San Mateo County, California, chiefly with the Spring Valley Water Company, a corporation supplying San Francisco with water from said county, and which by reason of its great wealth and arrogant power had dominated the policies and of that county for years, to its great detriment. The good people of the county finally arose in revolt and the writer, a citizen thereof for years, was "in it." He established a newspaper, "The San Mateo County Journal," to espouse the cause of reform, became the leader of the cause and was warmly supported by the majority of the people of the county, so that after a struggle of two years or more, chiefly by the aid of the newspaper, as pitted against the opposition paper, the T. & G., the government of the County was redeemed, the Author made District Attorney, and all the import ant offices in the County filled by the reform candidates.
