Out Of the Mouths Of Babes
(Fr01n Inrur,.s 7roo>;vc,

From Hdrpct's Muodstnc)
Mary was very serious minded young
miss of ten and keenly interested in the
religious education Of her younger sister,
Dorothy, aged six. Indeed she .elt that the
little sisters education in Biblical stories
had been sadly neglected. One day she
confded to her mother that Dorothy was
very ignorant on the subject of the Cruel
tlxion and the Resurrection and should be
enlightened before the next Easter time
came around.
The mother suggested to Mary that she
be the one to tell the little sister the sto-
RIGS and TO make them just as vivid and
real she could.
This Mary did, and at the close Of the re-
'ita| the only comment made by Dorothy
this:
Say, were those men Germans 2"

internationalists-me who have no feel
ing for Russia, who are not patriots or
even Slavs-turn in their tracks and re-
create a militant, intensely nationalstic
Russian state?
1t is Incredible The delverance
which Lenine prophesies in order to gloss
over the ruin which he has wrought will
not come from him or from Russians Of
his stamp. If it comes, it will come
through leaders who are genuine Rus
SLAMS in heart and thought-nation build
ers, not nation wreckers-by whom he
will be remembered only for the infa-
nous heresies through which he brought
Russia under the German yoke.

The Machinery of Art

Fabricated art is as old as fabricated
ships are new So correspondent ac-
curately points out in the following let
ter:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Concerning your reference this
morning to the historian Hubert Howe
Bancroft, who "employed large staff
of assistants and turned out gigantic
works. and was designated by Dr.. Holmes
the inventor of "the application OF
machinery to literature" what about the
late Mr.. Pope, who organized a syndicate
Of versifers and reproduced Homerc his
tory in rhyme. Is he rot entitled to the
distinction Dr. Holmes, probably through
inadvertence, conferred upon Bancroft? :?
ALFRED 0. TATE
New York, March 6, 1913
Such credit as goes to Bancroft must
go for organizing the manufacture Of
machine made history on a scale to make
Henry Ford jealous. That was his new
idea. Pope did hire translators to help
him out with his Odyssey, and they
wrote whole books for him. But why
stop at Pope?
And what ne saw and liked he took.
That was written of Homer; and the
chain runs clear down to those master
fabrcators of assembled literature, the
columnists, B. l.. T. and F. P. A. There
is no line of division that can be drawn.
At one extreme is old Dumas touching
up the sheets penned by his busy hired
staff At the other the great poet, like
Homer or Shakespeare, who merely
YIELDS the crude, shapeless metal Of some
other and lesser artist into a finished
whole. Most of the great painters and
sculptors were fabricators, with pupils
by the score who often brought the
works to a certain point at which the
master brush or chisel supplied the final
touches of genius.
Was Michael Angelo, therefore, only
syndicate-and Rubens an early as
sembling portrait plant? Not unless a
ship is the same thing as the carloads
of plates and rivets now rushing to Hog
Island. Not only the skilled hand lies
between, but plan, design and the imagi-
native genius which begins where ord1-
nary human labor leaves Off

WHITE PASS ASKS MODIFICATION
 IF NEW EIGHT HOUR LAW
Representations Heard by Governor Strong From All Departments Rail and Upper and Lower River
 Divisions Send Delegates

various departments of the White Pass were placed before the govern- or. and he will make his report to Secretary of the Interior Lane, who must pass upon the question of modifying the law as it now stands.

MEMBERS TO BE
ASKED TO RENEW

Renew your membership is the
slogan of the Rock Island Red
Cross.
More than one thousand Red
Cross memberships expire on or
before June ?.
While all over the country the
Red Cross is calling for the second
war fund. and in view Of the fact
that Rock Islands share is al
ready assured by the Patriots
fund, It is particularly fitting that
this should be a time for making
sure that no membership in the
chapter is allowed to lag" the To-
cal chapter says in a statement to-
day.
"The dollar paid last June en-
titles one to a membership in "the
army of mercy from just one year
After II months have passed the
right to wear Red Cross pin
ceases. unless the membership is
renewed. Red Cross officials feel
that no one will knowingly permit
his membership to lag. No one
can afford to.
LOOh DIT YOUR HeuDeI snip re-
ceipt; notice the date. Don't wait
for your official notice
The Rock Island chapter has
more than seventeen thousand
members Not a member dropped
is the goal the chapter is working
toward. Re-enlist now. The Red
Cross needs its members. and the
members need the Red Cross. So
