Art and It's Rewards.

The restoration Of an artist to sanity and
poverty after many years OF confinement In
sanitarium has revived interest In an effort TO
secure genius something Of a tangible reward.

lifetime equity in all works be secured 10 tho

fashionable OF late years. especially In America,
TO lavish money on art, to give unstlntedly to

Shakespeare and Nebraska.

The Bee takes pleasure in reminding It's
readers thai Nebraskan has done more than
all others who have engaged in the work TO
establish William Shakespeare as man among
men. and TO secure for him the high place from
which certain agencies have sought to oust him.
Dr. Charles William Wallace OF the University
Of Nebraska has carried on for several years,
almost entirely at his own expense, research
work In London among the musty archleyes Of
the days Of Queen Elizabeth and King James
producing literary treasures Of untold value In
the form OF government documents, court
records and other indubitablo proofs Of Shakes
pearo's high standing and proper credit among
tho great Of his day. This work OF Dr. Wallace
"a not yet made secure TO the University OF
Nebraska because Of failure or neglect to make
appropriation TO properly acquire the full credit
Justly due. The English government and GER
tain German universities are actively interested
In taking advantage OF DR. Wallace's discoveries.
and unless something Is promptly done by Me-
braska authorities the honor OF producing this
wonderful achievement VIII be lost TO our great
school. Had the war not intervened the chance
would already be gone. II seems that 40
wealthy state AZ Nebraska might well afford
TO make certain Of this distinction, which VIII
be the only compensation Dr. Wallace Will
likely receive for his arduous labor and enthusi-
ssilc sacrifice.
