Charles Fuchs, an Omaha artist now
in Chicago, writes: Il am trying to
have something really worth while
for the next Art Gid exhibition Go
to it, Mr. Fuchs. That's the spirit
that counts.
An exhibition consisting OF eighty
four sketches in oil by Charles Paul
Grippe, has been on display here
since February /. Mr.. Grippe is the
artist whose works, "Overschie" and
Connecticut Road" purchased by the
Friends OF Art, now hang in the pub
lie library.
The work of Mr.. Grippe is thor
oughly familiar to many Omaha peo-
pie, having been seen here frequently.
While sketches are not classed with
finished pictures. they often exhibit
attractive features which the pictures
do not have. In making pictures from
sketches, artists invariably lose some
thing OF the freshness and spontaneity
Of the original work. Some OF Mr..
Gruppe's sketches bear unmistakable
signs of having been done on the
fields, while others seem to have been
painted in the studio far from the
original source OF inspiration. As a
rule his work is so even in quality
that one wonders why the artist asks
different prices for different can
vases.
Few will deny that color is the
chief glory OF art, yet this is the quail
ity most lacking in the work OF Mr..
Grippe. His paintings all exhibit
grey, artificial tone, which, while
charming to admirers OF the Dutch
school, quickly grows tiresome to the
lover OF nature who is accustomed TO
more diversity OF effects. Mr..
Gruppe's work does not sparkle with
the immortal freshness OF nature, nor
does it seem to express any keen de-
light on the part of the artist in the
phenomena of nature. But the work
will surely please those who, not be-
ing conscious OF rather inferior
workmanship, may wander through
lowland pastures, beside sea coasts
and through fshermen's cottages.
The work would reproduce charm
ingly in black and white, and Mr..
Grippe has an enviable list of med
ais, prizes and exclusive art club
memberships.

The Peaceful warriors.

Let others sing their songs of war.
And chant their hymns of splendid
death;
Let others praise the soldiers way
And hail the lannon's flaming
breath.
Let others sing of Glory's fields
Where blood for Victory is paid;
1 choose to sing some simple thing
To those who WELD not the gun or
The peaceful warriors of trade.
Let others choose the deeds of war
For symbols of our nations skill,
The blood-red coat, the rafting throat
The regiment that charged the hill;
The boy who died to serve the flag.
Who heard the order and CT eyed,
But leave to me the gallantry
OF those who labor unafraid-
The peaceful warriors of the trade.
Aye. let me sing the splendid deeds
OF those who toll to serve mankind ::
The men who break old ways and
make
New paths for those who come be-
hind
The young who war with customs old,
And face their problems, unafraid,
Who think and plan to lift for man
The burden that on him is laid
The splendid warriors of trade.
I sing of battles with disease
And victories DER. death and pain,
OF ships that fly the summer sky,
And glorious deeds of strength and
brain.
The call for help that rings through
space,
BY which a vessels course is stayed.
Thrills me far more than fields of
gore,
or heroes decked in golden braid
l sing the warriors of trade.

GOOD MEN NOMINATED FOR OFFICE.

Last Saturdays primary election produced its
surprises and satsfactons. Several good men were
eliminated and fortunately all the nominated
are good men. No matter who will be elected
are to have good set Of commissioners for the
next four-year period. The Labor World is not
supporting John r. Armstead for mayor, not be-
cause he is not good man. for he is, but he does
not stand for the things that stand for
He has different point of view from this news
paper public and industrial questions. His atti-
tude on the labor question and fear that if
elected he would use the police under the pretensc of
claw and order' to defeat the legitimate aims of
labor, as has been frequently done in the past,
his views on municipal ownership and other local
political issues prompts us to oppose his election
and support the candidacy of Clarence R. Magney
who is nearly ri ght be on social
and political questions.
The four candidates for commissioner are we'll
known to the people Of Duluth Ribenack and
Phillips have the best labor records. Mr. Voss
polled his usually large vote but his strength has
been considerably weakened because of his votes
ON selling the arnory and the work farm and his
support Of the hand bill ordinance. Mr.: Phelps
while good man in many respects, lost hundreds
OF labor votes because Of his opposition to union
labor during the street railway strike, and his men,
bership of the "Committce of 1907 during the build
ing trades lockout in 1907. These were brought up
against him in labor circles during the primary cam
paign, and they will probably be used against him
during the election. Generally, however, without
reference to their personal views industrial and
political issues all Of the candidates are good and
capable men.
Several good defeated, among them
Mayor Prince S. f. Snively, c. E. Evens, John Muir
ply and others Mayor Prince has none to blame
for his defeat but himself He accused of start
ing commission government off wrong. He consist
emily refused heed the advice Of the real friends
of commission government. He assisted in cstab-
fishing the onc-man rule at the city hail. His mar
views social and public welfare questions
his position the sale of the armory and the citys
interest in the workfarm and his vote the hand
bill ordinance contributed each in their turn to his
defeat Had he tuned himself to the new order dur
ing the four-year period that he served as mayor
he would have been elected to succeed himself with
out question.
The successful candidates at the coming cleo
ton will do we'll to profit by the mistakes of MaycS
Prince and Commissioner Voss, and they will see
to it that real commission government is quickly es-
tab]ished and the theory of the city charter fol-
lowed out. Should they fail to take heed commits

blamed for it because our systems Of
Jurisprudence is, the laws that
govern us-also place the emphasis
upon the rights of mankind.
You never yet heard labor speech
or a political speech that did not en-
large upon the rights of the people,"
We are all the time talking about the
rights of children, the rights of wp-
men, the rights of capital, the rights
of labor, civil rights and political
rights, till the doctrine of human
rights has resulted in endless hatred
and confusion.
Gods method is different. The BIZ
BILE says practically nothing about the
rights of man-its emphasis is upon
the duty of man. When the boss OPP
presses the workingman, the work.
ingman declares that there has been
a transgression of rights" But the
Bible insists that the law of love and
brotherhood has been violated.
When an employer of labor pays
starvation wages when he compels
his employees to work under condi-
tons that are degrading, when he
works them beyond the point of phys
ical endurance, when he grinds out Of
them even the desire for the finer and
bigger things of life, the Bible has a
remedy for this situation. But it is
not in emphasizing the rights of the
poor. It dVells upon the fact that he
must follow the law of love and of
brotherhood. And the penalty that
he shall be called upon to pay is based
upon his failure to do this.
Human rights will never suffer if
human duties be performed. Duty
and not rights is the supreme need
Of man. For the doing of ones duty
will carry one farther along than the
mere granting of another's rights.

ALL HAIL DEMOCRACY!

Some world s history is being written these days.
We living in of the most important epochs
in the history of the human race In less than week
Russia has turned the clock of time ahead hun
dred years. Her people standing with their
faces toward the morning. singing songs of
liberty. The death knell of absoutism has been
sounded, the has been dethroned the. gendar-
mary is to be abolished, and the people of Russia
about to rule through the Dma 1t seems al
most like a dream.
The most refreshing news from Petrograd is that
Russian statesman considering the establish
ment Of republic patterned after the Swiss plan :;
the prison gates to open outward for Nine
Breshkovskaya, and the "Ltle Grandmother of
Freedom has been invited to return to Russia
from her exile in Siberia after thirty years of ban
lshment The Jews to be permitted to enjoy the
same privileges as other human beings; Poland will
regain her independence, and the tyrant governor
general of Finland has been sent to the same prison
into which he has committed thousands of brave
and forward looking Firms.
1t will not be serene for the Russian people for
some time to come for this revolution is but the
forerunner of greater which will follow the
first taste OF freedom. And Germany? When her
soldiers learn of Russia s advance in civilization
they will become restless too and Continental Ell-
rope will be abaze with the torchlight of liberty.
1t is not the army of tie Allies which is moving
forward so much ir ~ world, as it is civilizing
forces OF democracy. le political revolution has
taken place; the social revolution will come next.
In view of what has happened during the past
week, and what is expected from on, who is
there to say that this awful has been fought in
vain? Civilization has not been DESTROYED as was
Feared but it has been given new life and it will
move onward and upward with greater strides than

DUTY VERSUS RIGHTS
BY Rev. Charles Sickle,

The workingman demands justice
and he is right. But God demands
more than justice. His imperative is
love. And love is the fulfilling of the
law.
Gradually men are coming to learn
this important truth. Finally it will
be the basis of the settlement of the
labor problem-and every other hu-
man problem.
1t cannot be said therefore that
Worklngmen are asking too much
when they demand a square DEAL The
trouble of it is that they do not ask
enough. This means that they are
not giving enough. For this prin-
ciple affects the worker as it does the
Bosses
; One of the first things that a school
ooy has impressed upon his mind is
the doctrine. of "the~right Of liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" And
somehow he never gets away from

What Other Papers Say
Should Patriots Strike?
It. Paul Dailv Naus -Pras;de

st. Paul Daily News.-President E.
E. Calvin, Union Pacific railroad, pro-
fesses to see in the threatened train
men's strike "a foreign conspiracy to
d1scredlt this country in international
affairs" 49,.
Elisha Lee, chairman of the ma
tional conference committee Of the
railways, calls attention to the fact
that the SERIOUS International situa-
ton should cause every citizen to put
every thought of his personal right or
desire second to his duty to his coun-
try"
Geo. T. slade, first vice president,
Northern Pacific railroad, urges en-
ployes of his company Gin this time
Of the country's need snots to be led
from what you know r. yotr: duty: to
your country" y
All of that has the resemblance of
an attempt to win a wage-and-time
controversy with workmen by wav-
ing an American flag in their faces.
Possibly the trainmen are as much
entitled to make use of the same argu-
ment They have as much reason to
point to the Stars and Stripes and
ask their employers to proclaim their
patriotism in this hour of national
peril by obeyirle law passed by con-
gress, signed by the president, and
which now has been upon the Fed
eral statute books for six months
without being enforced.
It is going to be hard to convince
the American people that man isn't
a patriot merely because he wants an
eisht-hour day or because he wants
the eight-hour law enforced

Omaha Unionist:-Leonora Warren
son, a school teacher in Kansas City,
Mo. has raised storm in the camp
of the militarists, munition manu.
facturers and jingoists.
Kansas City lately introduced mill
tary training into schools. 1t may
also be noted that the Carnegie
Foundation has been accused of
controlling the educational institutions
of Missouri through a system of in
spection in the interest of "efficiency"
"The crime" committed by Miss
Warenson was in writing on the black
board of her class room the follow
Liz. why ellllSL GU nave MOTH
ing to gain and your life to lose. I
refuse to kill my brother and hide my
hands in the folds of any flag"
Now the navy department at
Washington has ordered that the pa
triotism of Miss Warenson be investi-
gated and reported to the navy bureau
of espionage.
She has defied the government, a
captain and two sergeants in uniform,
and she now faces the probability of
summons to appear before the
federal court to defend her position
or go to JAIL She has also refused to
sign an affidavit or appear before the
school board to explain.
Because this girl has an opinion on
a question of peace or war, she is
subjected to espionage and her whole
life history is to be investigated in
the interest of the swe!fare of the
republic"
