Lowell a Disciple
OF World English,
Says Calsworthy
Speakers at Banquet Open
ing Centenary Celebration
Agree Mother Tongue Is
Foremost Now in Use

Complete unity in thought and
action of the English speaking peo-
Piles of the world has been realized
and their language is destined to be
that of civilization the world over
This was the keynote of the adj
dresses delivered last evening at the
Lowell centenary banquet at the Ritz
Carlton Hotel. John Galsworthy. Elihu
Root, Brander Matthews and Maurice
Hutton all emphasized the point.
The dinner, which was attended by
more than 800 men and women promi-
nent in the world of literature and
education, was the most important
event in the four-day celebration to
commemorate the one hundredth ami
versary of the birth of the poet, editor
and reformer. Mr.. Root served as
POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Galsworthy began his address
by saying that he thought Lowell had
accomplished more as critic and man
OF letters than as poet

OF great man of letters" he said
wv hat strikes me most about that
glorious group OF New England
wrlters-Emerson, Longfellow. Haw
thorne, Whittier, Thoreau, Motley.
Holmes and Lowel--is a certain meas
ure and magnanimity. They were
rare men and fine writer's, of a temper
simple and unafraid.
'More a Critic Than Poet
81 confess to thinking more of James
Russell Lowell as a critic and master
or prose than as a poet. His single
hearted enthusiasm for letters had
glowing quality which made it guild
ing star for the frail bark of culture.
His humor, breadth of view. sagacitv
and all-round character of his activ-
tiles has hardly, think, been equalled
in your country. Not so great a thinker
or poet as Emerson, not so creative az
Hawthorne, so original in philosophy
and life as Thoreau, so racy and quaint
as Holmes, he ran the gamus of those
qualities as none other did; and as
critic and evaluer of literature sur
passed them all

Lemuel e. Quigg mailed yesterday to

ducers of the proposed prohibition en-
forcement bill, d letter in which he
said:
"The prohibitionists are arranging

Loved the English Language
THAT was one side of the youthful
Lowell, the generous Fighter OF wrongs,
the man. And this other saying: The
speaking nations should build
monument to the misguided enthusi-
asts of the plains of Shnar, for as the
mixture OF many bloods seems to have
made them the most vigorous of mod
ern races, so has the mingling of d.
vers speeches given them language
winch WI IS perhaps the noblest vehicle
OF poetic thought that ever existed
That was the other side of Lowell, the
enthusiast for letters; and the feeling
he had about our language.
i am wondering. indeed what those
men who were welding the English
language III the fourteenth fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries would think if
they knew that language had become
the living speech of half the world, and
the second tongue for all the nations
Of the other half! For even so it is
now-thls English language which they
made, and Shakespeare crowned, which
you speak and we speak, and men
under the Southern Cross, and unto
the arctic seas.
English Now International"
Lowell says in one of his earlier
writings: we are the furthest from
wishing to see what many are so ar
IDENTIFY praying for, namely, a national
literature, for the same mighty Tyre of
the human heart answers the touch of
the master in all ages and in every
cline, and any literature in so far as it
is national is diseased in so much as
1t appeals to some climatic popularity
rather than to universal nature That
is very true, but good fortune has now
made of our English speech the me-
dunn of internationally
'Henceforth you and we are the in
habitants and guardians of a great

that pilgrimage primarily because our
city is market place. 1t will be for
us to see that they who come to trade

Mr.. Root told of league of nations
that antedatcd the one now in the
course Of organization by centuries.
The league, he said, was in complete
and effective operation among the Iro-
quois Indians and continued to func-

The opinio that curtailment of gifts

Department, might compel the Knights
Of Columbus to return funds obtained
from the public was expressed yester-
day by william P. Larkin. a supreme
director of the body The money had
been collected, Mr.. Larkin said, on the
understanding that the supplies were
to be given away.
Then, in an endeavor to standardize
the budgets of the various military
welfare organizations, the committee
Of eleven made the suggestion that
gifts to soldiers be limited to 10 per
cent of the funds derived from the
United War Work Campaign. Mr..

1O5 Arrests i'm Toledo
More Than 100 Auto Wrecks
Clutter ''Wet'' Trail to
Ohio City From Detroit

DETROIT, Mich, Feb 20.-Detroit
to-day continued to jubilate over the
Supreme Court ruling against the va
lidity of The state search and seizure
law and turned its face toward Toledo.
Across the parched and thirsty state
moved the never-endine caravan of
limousines and coupes, sedans and
roadsters, touring cars, trucks, moving
vans, electrical and steam trains. John
Barleycorn, resurrected, was escorted
to the City of the Straits in mad
riot.
Dixie Highway was submitted to the
acid test and failed to make good.
Thirty automobiles crashed in one
pile-up. More than 100 wrecks were
counted on the road between Monroe
and Toledo.
At the instigation Of United States
District Attorney Lynch, of Toledo, an
effort to end the liquor traffic with
Detroit is being made, and as a result
105 arrests were made in the Ohio
city up to 6 O'Clock tonight. They
were all Detroiters charged with q
violation of Federal law, which
makes it misdemeanor to transport
beverage purposes.
During the past twenty-four hours
more than $250,000 worth of liquor has
been sold and carried into Michigan.
Over 1900 automobiles, principally
from Detroit, have formed a contin
uous stream, fifty feet apart, between
the two cities. All are boozeladen.
The headlner of all was large globe
shaped balloon with basket attached
and rope training from the basket,
which sailed majesticaly into Michigan
from Putin Bay to a point near Mon
roe. The question was raised as to
whether it was the latest mode of
whiskey smuggling.
The interurban railway is unable to
accommodate the crowds that fight for
seats or standing room. Motor vans
are reaping harvest By serving as
passenger cars between Detroit and
Toledo and charging from $75 to 500
per trip.
But the runners must hurry. They
realize it and are working at high
officials viii be made within twenty
four hours to dam the liquor wave which
is rolling over the Dixie Highway, but
Just what position the authorities will
take is not ye known.
Detroit is just sweetly, gently and
calmly intoxicated. The cafes and
hotel dining-rooms are crowded, and
some of the old, popular places are
turning EN- away The guests, both
those inside and those wishing they
were inside, have bulging pockets or
are brazenly carrying their private
bottle unashamed Women, too, are
carrying their muffs with more care
than usual.
Ginger ale is in great demand in the
cafe and hotel bars. Every waiter
seems to be under perfect instruction
and none makes the mistake of pouring
ginger ale into a glass. Instead he
sets the empty glass down, drops in a
large piece of ice, places the ginger
ale at the patrons elbow and waits for

The MOVING PICTURES

At the Eureka Theatre on Sunday
evening. February 9, 1.-The Beckon-
ing Flame" a thrilling story of a
Hindu girls sacrifice for an English
man she loves will be presented.
A young Englishman while serv-
ing as deputy commissioner of
a principality of India becomes
acquainted with the daughter of a
nobleman. She is given in marriage
to a dissolute Indian prince. The
prince dies of apoplexy during the
marriage festivities, and to save her
from suffering the Hindu rite of
suttee, or incarceration, the English
man rescues her and keeps her in his
bungalow disguised as a boy servant.
AS a climax his English sweetheart
comes on the scene, and the Hindu
girl sacrifices herself to save the
honor of the mar she had learned to
love.
Two reels of the comic, Mick Of
Time Baby" will follow.
On Friday evening. February ID,
Bessie Barriscale will be the star in
"Honor's Altar. That power and
luxury do not Away spell satisfaction
is shown in this drama. There is a
modern captain of industry who has
risen in the business and social world.
His wife has loyalty aided him in the
long struggle, but he forgets her
faithful service when he has reached
the pinnacle of success, and the way
he endeavors to put her out of his
life makes an interesting story.
The comedy to follow the above
is entitled, THE BookWorm Turns

An order putting out of business
all slot machines, punch boards and
lotteries in Eureka County was is
sued this week by District Attorney

ton of the State of Nevada which
provides that mo lottery shall be
authorized by the State, nor shall the
sale Of lottery tickets be allowed"
He then cites Section 6494-6501. in
elusive, has passed provisions Of law
whereby the constitutional prohibit
ton above mentioned shall be main
tanned.
The order issued by District At
torney Reynolds directs the peace
officers of Eureka and throughout
this county to inform owners Of ma
chimes, as we'll as those who have
buildings wherein said machines and
punch boards have been an attraction,
to take or do away with same upon
penalty of arrest and prosecution.
The order becomes effective from
the time official notice is served.
Sheriff Mackey has already notified
all interested parties in Eureka of
the new order.
