TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun 4 Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade last week says:
Prospects have greatly improved
through numerous labor controversies,
yet the anthracite coal situation Is un-
changed and supplies are nearing de-
pletion. Distribution OF merchandise
has met with some interruption owing
to the freight blockades, the volume
Of business being very heavy. Sta
tistics Of pig iron production OF Aug.
ust !, according to the Iron Age, are
more satisfactory than might have
been expected in view OF the great
scarcity Of fuel. Shoe manufacturers
at the East have received practically
all the fall orders that will be placed,
and new business is now restricted to
sample orders In spring lines. Leather
again risen in price, and sales were
heavy during the past week. not only
In staples. but also upper stock and
betting butts. Recent violent ad-
vances in hides have been fully held
and large transactions occurred, while
heavy Texas steers reached a new
record price. Despite the very IA
vorable reports from dry goods Job
bers regarding the volume outlook for
fall trade, conditions in the primary
markets and at the mills are now de-
void OF incident.
Considering the official report OF the
cereal crop conditions the flrmness Of
quotations during the past week has
been somewhat pressing. Failures in

Frenchman, who was an artist in his line,
and set this man to work teaching the rudi-
ments of the art to the workmen in the
American shop. The result is that today
the manufacture Of carriage trimmings is
a great industry in the United States EN-
ploying thousands of workmen and cutting
off practically the necessity for importing
from France. This is practical art.
All this bears on the material aspect or
art. Quite as important is the intrinsic
value Of art in developing and enlarging
and improving mankind. If literature bene-
fits him and If music benefits him, then art
certainly benefits him. OF course there is
bad art and harmful art, but so there is vile
literature and harmful music, and bad
knowledge. But wholesome art is one of the
great factors in elevating the human char
acter. The foolish assertion that art weak
ems the character of a nation, an assertion
that has at times been advanced,
is so utterly absurd that it should
hardly be seriously discussed. 1t
has been pointed out that when
art was at it's highest in Greece, the state
was at its lowest; that the love Of art had
begotten sensuousness and indulgences; that
all forms of vice were rampant and that
the manhood Of the nation had been Slapped.
What folly! Nations have their duration
of life just as individuals, as the trees of
the forest have. The sensuousness CT the
decaying energies of the Greeks debased
their art, ms cad Of their art debasIng them.
Greece became decadent not because of art,
but in spite of it. The love of art main
tanned 1t for a long time at its best.
The nation in its political, commercial and
industrial development had come to a
standstill. Art alone remained to offer
a stimulus to make possible progress. When
the acme was reached in art, then began
the retrogression which had been arrested
and stayed by art alone. No n%atiCn, any
more than an individual, can stand still.
A people must go forward or else back
ward. 1t was so with Greece. 1t is so
with every nation. But what monuments
has Greece left behind to testify to its
greatness? Is there any trace left of its
Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-26

commercial or industrial development?
Even in engineering, are there examples
that testify to its skill there? No. The
things that remain to us Of the
highest civilization reached by the
Greeks are the production of art
and literature. They alone endure.
Therefore it must be manifest how
important a factor art is. The entire world
has been Influenced and moulded by the
work along these lines of the old Greeks.
And so we will influence and mould the peo-
pie who come after us, the rising genera
tion, if we surround them with works Of
art.
We will elevate their ideas. We will
make of them better men and women, nobler
citizens. Every statue that is erected to a
great man is in itself an inspiration to the
right-minded boy. He doesn't know whether
It is good art or bad. He sees that the
people have honCred a man who did his
duty, who made sacrifices for his country
and his fellows, and he is inspired to do
likewise. We have fine pictures, good stat
uary, and other productions of art, and the
eyes Of our people are trained involuntarily
so that they become better workmen in
their own line, bringing to bear a finer
sense Of the beautiful. This sense will i'm
press llStll upOu the HoSl urinary lulnBS
that these same people may produce. AL
most before we know it, If we b~eautify our
cities with statuary and art galleries, we
will be a nation Of art workers instead Of
mere manufacturers. Nothing else in the
world creates such value as a fine art sense.
You take a piece of bronze that isn't worth
three cents, put it in the hands Of a French
art worker and he changes it into some
thing that is worth twenty dollars.
This is not a call to thousands Of young
people to rush into art for its direct lucra-
tive results. Unless, with true artistic
hunt ty, they are willing, after proper
training, to take positions in the industries
where art may be applied, the great ma
jority will be not alone doomed to disap-
pointment themselves, but they will in no
wise benefit the community.

GRAFTON OF WOMEN'S CLUBS.
means of locating the clubs, sent a cir
cular letter to the postmasters of all towns
Of over a certain population, requesting
them to give the inclosed letter to the rep
resentative Of any club, society or other
woman's organization of which he knew.
The letter to the clubwomen explained the
plan for organization and asked that a
delegate be sent to a convention to be held
in Omaha on December 10.
The response to this letter surprised
even the most sanguine members of the
committee. Everywhere enthusiastic CO.
operation attested the eagerness of the
clubs and about fifty women attended the
December convention, of which Mrs. Lind
sey was appointed chairman and Mrs. A.
b. Somers, also of Omaha, secretary. Mrs.
Frances NJ. Ford, then president of the
Omaha Woman's club, made the address
of welcome; Mrs. Ella w. Peattie, Mrs.
Belle M. Stoutenborough, Mrs. C. S. Lang
worthy Of Seward, together with the able
representatives of the Lincoln club and
others, contributing to the enthusiasm and
the plans that were the foundation of the
organization.
An executive committee was elected con-
slstlng OF Mrs. j. II. Garfield of Lincoln,
wife Of Chancellor Garfield of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, president; Mrs. Ella
w. Peattie of Omaha, vice president; Mrs.
c. S. ~Langworthy of Seward, secretary;
Mrs. J. w. Dawes of Crete, treasurer, and
Mrs. j. n. Woodford of Weeping Water,
auditor. During the first year the consti-
tuition was drawn up, definite communica-
ton established among the clubs and plans
made for the first annual meeting, and
only those who have had a part in the ex-
ecutive work of the Federation can have
any idea Of the hard, unselfsh work that
task entailed.
The first annual meeting, which was
held in Lincoln, left the work well estab-
lished, with Mrs. May C. Field of Lincoln
as president. At the second meeting, held
In Fremont, Mrs. Belle M. Stoutenborough
was elected president, and reelected the

mot to demand success, but to deserve
it," has been the motto and the women
have lived up to this, working unostenta-
tiously for everything that was uplifting,
There are at present eight standing com
mittees for the advancement of special
lines Of work. including art, household
economics, civic, education, industrial,
music, library extension and a reciprocity
bureau. In addition to these there are
seven special committees appointed an
nually.
OF the ninety-nine clubs in the Fedora
ton thirty-two have included library work
with their other efforts, several having
established town libraries. Through the
efforts OF Mrs. Belle NJ. Stoutenborough
and others the Federation travelling library
of 800 volumes was established and main
tanned for several years, but realizing the
necessity of an extension of this work, the
women set to work for the creation of a
state travelling library commission and
when this was established by the last legis-
lature they turned over to 1t their collec-
ton of books. The reciprocity bureau In
ciudes 100 manuscripts and the names OF
twenty-five lecturers, while one of the most
complete collections of art portfolios In the
country is in constant circulation among
the clubs of the state.
In addition to stimulating a general in
terest in domestic science among the clubs,
the household economies department is
working for the improvement of the food
laws Of the state with encouraging pros
poets.
The efforts OF the educational commit
tee were largely run in securing
the new compulsory educational law and
this winter the Industrial committee is
promised the cooperation of many Of the
state legislators in securing the estab-
lishment Of a court for juvenile offenders.
The entire Federation will work this year to
