Ruben Dario, Pan-American

He was the most distinguished and by

local figure. The widening circles Of his
radiating genius reached all the Span

also. Pan-America and the whole world.

meet him on the occasion of his last visit
to New York had then premonition Of his
taking off. His health was manifestly
impaired. But we hoped that he might
live to write the book about the United
States which he had in mind and Of
which he spoke SO inspiringly.
At this time when the spirit Of Pan
America is the most reassuring element
in distracted world, mangled by blind
patriotisms impotent to rise TO the
heights of humanity. Ruben Dario's
word would be one of the most signih-
cant forces to change the feeling which
so many Latin Americans have toward
the United States.
His influence in Central and South
America can hardly be exaggerated.
The poet, among the neo-Latins, has al
ways occupied position Of authority
that the Saxon peoples hardly under
stand. With them the singer IL leader.
We know the tremendous effect Of
D'Annunzio in urging Italy to war; and
Ruben, more loved and better respected
than he. was doing much to change the
dark suspicious of his people into
bright goodwill toward our own land.
It was peculiarly the task Of poet to
touch with transformating skill the i'm
agination and emotion of race. And
he did it as master.
Ruben Dario was the poet Of his day
and of our tomorrow. Carlyle called
Dante the voice of ten silent centuries.
Ruben Dario was the poet Of his day
twenty republics.
In-his verse is not only dazzling color,
bewitching music, perfect form; there
are also ideas-and ideals. And his
ideals are ours: sincerity in art, hon
esty in government, and the vision OF
United Western World, of a fraternity
of peoples advancing together along the
paths of peace toward the throne OF law
and beauty.
Our task is not to win the markets OF
South America, to get its trade, to ap-
peal to its selfish interests; 1t is TO win
it's heart. to gain it's love and fellowship.
Ruben Dario was one OF the greatest
of true ambassadors, cementing the
friendship of nations.
AS Nicaragua and all her sister Latin
peoples mourn for this master may we,
sharing likewise in the benificent results
of his labors, be permitted to lay, in rev.
erence and sincere appreciation, this
wreath upon his bier rs an honest triD-
ute Of esteem!

From Another Point of NieU

A Columbus boy who abstained from
smoking until he was 81, claims his
father promised him $500 as a reward,
but refuses to give it to him, and is suing
his father for the amount. The father
denies the promise, suggesting that the
young man may have been smoking.
On the other hand, there is the brand
of patriotism represented by American
dye makers. If they can be assured of
everlasting protection and profits, they
are ready to dye for their country.

Reprisal Sentiment.

An interesting discussion has been
going on In British papers. on that
is quite In line with the sujects that
once upon time were seriously de-
batcd in the country schools OF the
wild and woolly west. The British
question Is, "who is most likely to
favor reprisa,s upon the enemy. the
man of middle age or the old mann"
The London Evening News gives
the following list of eminent Eng
Iishmen showing their attitude for
or against air reprfsals," that is,
