POLITICS FLAVORS
LECTURE ON KIPLING
Stockton Arson, Brother of
Presidents First Wife, Talks
on Preparedness.
REFERENCE TO w. J. BRYAN

With a word of apology for in
jecting politics into his talk on Rud-
yard Kipling, before the Fine Arts
society Saturday afternoon, Stockton
Arson, brother Of the first Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, devoted large
part of his lecture hour to defending
statements attributed to President
Wilson. and emphasizing the neees-
sity for being better prepared for
national defense.
"By all means let US prepare against
the hazard of war, but not for pro-
voking war. Neither armament or
disarmament can stop war, only the
right attitude Of mind can. A war
like state of mind has produced more
wars than any other acts. Europe
studied war, prepared for war--now it
has war. If they spent as much time
preparing for peace, they would now
have peace" he said.
No Sympathy With Extremes.
II have no sympathy with the ex-
IRENE pacifist. nor with the extreme
militarist. With arms prepared for
war and minds set on peace, that is
the common sense stand. | do not
pretend this is logical--it is wildly
Illogical. but it is the safe course. If
forced into war, let us be sure our
cause is just. War is necessary in this
age. That's why believe we've got
to be armed. Only a moral and
psychological change will do away
with war, but we shall not live to
see the day"
Referring to Nebraska as Bryan's
state, he said: Il wish | could believe
Bryan's policies are as practical as
they are noble. But he forgets thai
others are not imbued with the same
high motives as he. Bryan speaks
for tomorrow, not today"
Following Prof. Axson's lecture,
the ninth annual exhibition OF the Fine
Arts society was thrown open to
members. Twenty-Five paintings of
Emil Carlson, Charles H. Davis, Paul
Dougherty, Frederic Frieseke and
Childe Hassam, are included in the
exhibit, and about twenty-five bronzes
OF Gutzon and Scion Borglum, former
Omahans. The small ballroom at the
Hotel Fontenelle was packed for the
private view and many were turned
away. Mrs. Ward Burgess, chairman
and the members of the exhibition
committee, acted as hostesses.

Thrown From Train;
Wants Much, Money

Being pushed off a moving freight
train is worth $4,000, according to
the claim made, by one Charles Fitz-
patrick in a suit for damages against
the Burlington railroad. The plain
tiff says that on October rs, 1916, he
boarded a freight caboose at Merna,
Neb., ZEN route to Broken Bow, and the
conductor ordered him off. Fitzpat-
rick says he agreed to get off if the
conductor would stop the train. But,
he continues, the conductor did mot
stop the train, and the plaintiff was
thrown off, suffering injuries for
which he now seeks compensation.
