"I firmly believe that much of the best verse written in America appears in the columns of our larger newspapers ... Especially is the column hospitable to vers de socièté or light verse, a form of graceful trifling that has never really naturalized itself in America, where poetic life since Longfellow has been real and earnest ... The editor has tried to make this collection representative of Chicago column poetry in so far as he could ..."--Introduction.
