Mr.. WYETH'S TRIBUTE
TO HOWARD PYLE

~ Converse Wyeth. Of Chadds Ford,
nm illustrator and artist, who has at
tanned fame by his work, former pupil
Of Howard Pyle and one of his closest
friends, has penned the following
tribute TO the departed artist and
author:
Editor of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL.-You ask me to say something
concerning Mr.. Pyle. | am at a loss.
Words cannot express my deep grief
or the sense of gratitude ! feel to-
ward this great friend and teacher.
With the passing Of Howard Pyle,
the country has lost its greatest IL
illustrator and art educator To the
world at large the loss will be keenly
felt, but to the group Of young men
and women who for years were nour-
ished and inspired by his teachings so
profusely and generously given, his
death is nothing short of a calamity.
For years Mr.. Pyle poured forth the
richest of his thoughts for all those
selious-minded who would listen,
claiming only as his reward the deep
pleasure and inspiration it gave him
to help others. To have uevn reared
and directed in the study and making
Of illustrations by his unfailing pow
ers of tutorship was not only a glo-
rious training in the profession, but
one of staunch and healthful charac-
ter building.
He has left in all of us who were
so fortunate as to come under his
influence, an underlying and solemn
desire to rise to the greatest heights
of our capabilities, not only as artists
but as men. What broader combina-
tion of teaching could there be-
Throughout my life I will rever-
ence the spirit of his help, and en-
deavor to show my gratitude by ris-
ing above myself as a man-as an
artist In this / know l speak fol
all who were blest with his imparta-
tions Yours sincerely,
n. c. Wyeth.

COUNTY Ann CRY BUILDING.

- EYOND question City Council expresses the
~ sentiments of majority of people who have
given the subject thought when declares for hav-
ing a combined city and county building which
would be a highly creditable ornament to the city.
Council is moving in a commendable manner by
adopting a resolution calling for conference with
the Levy Court the decision will be put up to the
members of the latter body II the Levy Court
should agree with Council for joint action, there
would be no serious trouble in arriving at deci-
sion as to the proper kind of building to be erected
The view of the Levy Court about an addition
10 the present building seems not TO be meeting
with approval The lawyers are opposed to en-;
largng the present building by an addition on
the top and Council representing the city, is OPP
posed TO IT,
With sentiment so clearly expressed, the Court
has done we'll to hold off any further action along
the line il contemplated
II would not be difficult for the city TO do its
part toward a combined building and 1t should not
be a heavy burden for the county. The new build
ing il is understood, could not be erected without
legislative action, and it would be far better to
await the meeting OF the Legislature If necessary,
than to proceed with Improvements such as have
~s~eeri thought OF by the Levy Court.
AT any rate, it is pleasing to note that Council
has taken up the subject definitely and the confer
ences between committees of that body and the
members of the Levy Court will result, we think,
in deciding on joint improvement which will be
far step forward in the upbuilding of Whining

FERMENT.

a NE OF the professors at Columbia University,
~ New York in the quarterly published at that
institution gives us fine view of the life of
students at the university. Many persons have
a notion that the students do some studying, but
spend great deal of their time in fun. They see
only the rah-rah demonstrations outward and
public manifestations of student life in sports and
the like.
But the Columbia professor remarks that the
desire to do things keeps the students in an ex-
traordinary ferment With great eagerness the
young men tackle any labor no matter how diff
cult II may be- They will write plays he says,
compose operas, produce magazine articles, and
they do all these things we'll The undergraduates
get stories accepted by high class publishers more
readily than the members Of the faculty can do
The students are seeking new avenues for intel
lectua effort.
We are glad to know that all these things are
going on at Columbia and hope that the same may
be said of other institutions If So there are
many precocious youths throughout the country
who will set the world going at a greater
speed than it is moving at present We often read
OF men doing things, but we don't see so much of
it in actual life Some time ago a newspaper pub
Usher told us that he attended a college COM
mencement and asked one of the officials to re-
commend young man for newspaper work The
official replied that he didn't know Of any that
the college paper itself had been poorer than for
years. That publisher evidently did not visit Col
umba or he might have recruited his whole staff
from the writer's Of plays, the student composers
of operas and the producers of magazine articles
who arc rampant among the undergraduate BODY at
the New York university.

year. Two per cent. of the women employed earn
as much as $3.50 year. and three-fourths of the
total number employed earn less than S400 an
nuaily.
In the so-called highly paid trades, according to
Professor Nearings figures, more than half the
workers earn less than SIS week. OF the jew
elers, AZ per cent exceed that income; boot and
shoe workers, ~ per cent; foundrymen and ma
ehinists, 81 per cent; paper-makers, i8 per cent;
furniture hands, II per cent; leaher-makers 6
per cent. All but these percentages earn less than
$3.50 day or less than $3.50 year.
And yet, in spite of these figures the mass Of
the people seem TO live better than ever Sefore
and have more money to spend for amusement
and recreation judging by the outward signs. Talk
with almost any aged man and he will tell you
that there is no comparison between the method
OF living these days and the manner when he was

PLACES BLAME ON LODGE.

MASSACHUSETTS Republicans are consider
Il ably stirred by the result Of the recent cleo
tion in that state, and we'll they may be. For
state that has almost uniformly been carried by
the Republicans to elect a Democratic Governor
twice in succession, and especially under such cir
cumstsnces as marked the election last Tuesday,
is something TO cause the leaders Of the party to
get together and find out what is best to be done.
Reading our Massachusetts, exchanges led lis to
believe that Governor Foss would be defeated, but
he wasn't. II seems, however, that Senator Lodge
must bear large share of the burden for the de-
feat II is argued that the Senator kept out of
the recent fight and from this the inference is
drawn that Foss would have had much larger
majority If Lodge had been leading the campaign
So keen a newspaper as the Worcester Mass.
Gazette remarks that it ought TO be plain to Sena-
tor Lodge that neither his presence nor his coun-
sells are wanted in the Republican party The
Gazette calls upon him TO step aside But it is
not likely that the Senator will do so. Men of his
kind never see their own faults in fact they don't
think they have any
The truth is that Senator Lodge is entirely out
OF touch with present day sentiment He belongs
TO that school OF political leaders that has been
repudiated He was chosen for another term by
the skin Of his teeth, and the election on Tuesday
is another warning to him that his continued lead
ershp or even alleged leadership, imperils the sue
cess of his party at the election next year

Oh their truth. But while they listen to the tri-
butes of the world there is comfort in the realiza

Mr.. Pyles greatness, in speaking of the artists
power of influencing others to rise to the great
heights of their capabilities, claiming only as
his reward the deep pleasure and inspiration it
gave him TO help others Howard Pyle did not
only advise his pupils TO be sincere. TO be thor
oughly American, to work hard, to make money
p secondary consideration, to love nature to look
for the best in their feow-men, and TO be gen
erous, but he lived up TO his teaching in every re-
spect Nobody came in contact with him without
gaining a nobler ideal
These are the traits visible in his simple daily
life in Wilmington, that have led to success which
makes the world say at his DEATH He was Amer
icas greatest illustrator and his influence for good

take advantage Of the work the government is
