|ored for the praise Of the world; he
has not sought fame nor riches !; ne has
found his delight in creating beautiful
things.
A man of this kind is the son of a
German vegetable gardener, Karl Ha-
gemeister, who has spent most of his
life among cabbages and other sup
posedly uninspiring plants. For forty
years he has painted landscapes because
he wished to do so. His art was called
simply his hobby. But suddenly critics
have acclaimed Hagemeister as one OF
the great artists, and have prayed the
Kaiser 10 give public recognition of his
work. The vegetable gardeners son
awakes to find himself famous Picture
dealers pursue him; his canvases are to
be exhibited: and he is to have title.
He says:
ask my friends to believe that |
am not to blame for all these things.
for truly l never bothered my head
about such matters.
That these honors como to me must
be due TO the fact that | never fol-
lowed any school or cult--simply Gods
own, untutored way.
There is a greatness in that simplic-
ity, greatness of kind that appeals
most strongly. Art for arts sake is
a phrase that has excused many an in
comprehensive botch. True art for
arts sakc-like this mans; a souls
vision made pcrccptibie to other souls
needs no explaining shibboleth; it
stands forth upon Gods own untu-
tored way."

oppertu.i6.. # You'd.

One of the intimations contained in
the personal communication which Pres.
ident Wilson made recently to Congress.
was that there should be due considera,
ton of the fact that thousands of young
men who are now awaiting their op.
portunities may, if proper legislation BE-
enacted. find that the moment has come
when they can grasp these .opportuni-
ties.
The thought implied in this statement
was that il the Older and favored men
are required by legislation to relinquist
some of the duties of director then the
younger men who are awaiting their
chances will have the opportunity to
fill the vacated places.
Were the appropriate committees OF
Congress. to make exhaustive inquiry
into this proposition they would speed
lily discover striking fact associated
with modern business. 1t would be
found that while in certain fields
mediocrity is one qualification for Sue
cess, particularly in literature and some
political activities, it has no place in
business.
A year ago last fall the railroads of
the United States were put to their
utmost endeavors TO make quick trans
portation of the product of the harvest
fields of the West to the seaport This
work was skillfully, even brilliantly, per-
formed. 1t was for the most part done
by young men. These are already
marked for promotion or have gained it
If a roster of the executive officers
of the railroads of the United States
were offered as testimony before the
appropriate Congress committees ii
would disclose that in almost every in
stance these officers began their careers
in humble circumstance. There entered
the presidency of one of the great trunk
lines on the Ist of January a man
who began his business career as a
seller OF newspapers upon the streets
of Cleveland.
1t is a fact that executive officers
OF the leading banks of the United
States are almost in every instance men
who began at the bottom
1t is true also OF the United States
Steel Corporation, whose president was
in humble employment in the New
Haven mills when he began life. Op-
portunity today awaits young men as
never before and legislation is not
necessary to open the gates to it.

Plea for the Poorly Paid.

To the Editor: Several days ago there
appeared in the columns of your paper.
an editorial entitled. Just the Dark.
Silent River" dealing with the eNtermi-
I alton of the red light district. in answer
to which a canvass is being made to raise
funds 10 aid the evicted women in find
ing homes and securing employment.
Positions paying s. a week have been
assured these women and girls affordiry
an opportunity whereby a new life can be
begun. to those who are really sincere in
their desire to reform.
So far so good.
But what of the hundreds Of good girls
who work from early morning until late
at night for a little more than half that
amount? Must they become prostitutes
in order TO get decent living wage?
God forbid, and yet it seems so. Won't
the helping hand that is being so
mercifully extended TO those poor Un-
fOrtunates be also stretched forth TO help
the good girls 20 remain good by securing
for them positions paving a decent living
wage? AN UNDERPAID.

Nine. Mercury has recommended
to Mayor Mitchell, of New York. that
criminals be tattooed appropriately to
the character of their offenses against
the laws. She would tattoo upon the
pickpocket's cheek long-fngered red
hand tattooed.' A Black Handler would
have picture OF black heart pierced
with a red dagger. a CRATER a hand
erasping money. and burglar door
lock and pick.
A primary objection TO Nine. Mer-
cury's' scheme is that some men lit
orally haven't the face TO carry all their
pffenses so publicly. In once popular
story, Mr.. Nelson's will was written
all over a young lady's back. 1t is to
be doubted if all the cuticle some people
have would carry their complete police
records.

CHARGES MADE
AGAINST ABBOTT
Accused Of Bad Faith in His
Dealings with the
Indians.
EMPHATIC DENIAL MADE
Former Assistant Commissioner Be-
lieyes Men Whose Schemes Were
Frustrated Have Spread Stories.

Charges Of bad faith in dealing with
Indians while Assistant Commissioner of
Indian Affairs have been lodged with the
Joint Commission for the Investigation Of
Indian Affairs. of which Senator Robin
son is the chairman. against F. II.
Abbott, now secretary of the Board Of
Indian Commissioners.
The Board of Indian Commissioners is
an extra-oficial body of nine members
serving without salary and appointed by
the President, 20 act in an advisory
capacity.
The latter body also is attacked be-
cause of alleged inactivity. The speciaI
Congressional Indian Commission may
begin an investigation, although il is
now only seeking more evidence.
Politics May Play Part.
Mr.. Abbott last night emphatically
denied the charges. saying. in part:
First of all. I am anxious TO learn
the name of the party. or parties who
made these charges. I then shall be
able to prove that my accusers are
either crooks or people whom l my
sell. or the commission as a whole,
prevented from doing crooked work
i Fave no doubt that the charges
are based on revenge Politics. too.

them. IL also is very probable that
efforts are being made in this way TO
interfere with the naturalization Of
some very valuable plans just COM
ple:ed by the commission and which
will save hundreds Of thousands ~
dollars. not only to the Indians, but
% the government as well.
Denies Inactivity Charge.
The charge Of inactivity is as ridic-
cooperation Of Secretary Of the In
terror Lane and Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs Sells the board has been
most strenuously active"
Mr.. Abbott added that hC suspected off
CialS Of d certain Western oil concern
were behind the charges. This concern.
nc said. recently was prevented ny tho
board from carrying out clever scheme
Of deCeiving Indians out uf thousands o.
dollars. He emphasized the fact that h,
cOUrted q thorough investigation. as n"
was ready TO prove the charges abso-
lUtely false
Mr.. Abbott said n" had not been mott
Fcd by the joint commission Of the fiIiuS
of the charges. He said he did not he
iieye these charges. If filed. had been
taken seriously by the commission. in
which case he said he woIId haye been

A genius whose joy in the spon-

recognition or notice from the world,

which would make the ordinary person
feel a triflle small were those emotions
generally known. Such man, surely,
