A Submerged Fame

Julian Story, who died in Philadelphia re-
Gently, was man of distinguished lineage, be-
ing the son of w. W. Story, the sculptor, and the
grandson of Chief Justice Joseph Story. one Of
the greatest lawyers who has sat upon the bench
Of our supreme court, and he had also achieved
creditable, perhaps distinguished, place in
his own field Of painting, more especially as
portrait painter.
Yet it is the irony of fate that for most Of
his life this able artist was more widely known
as the husband of Emma Eames than by his
own work No other artist commands the pub
lie interest to any such degree as does the sue
eessful opera singer, in whose case interest
sometimes rises to adulaton expressed in a sort
Of blind fury like idol worship. When to an
exquisite voice and purity OF style is added great
beauty worship is easy. In the case of Nine.
Eames the beauty was increased by the Coop

tunes he planned for his wife as Elsa Mar
guerite, Mrs. Ford in "Falstaff" and as Aida.
was admired by thousands for every dozen who
went to the galleries to see his pictures. That
is the fate of almost every man who bitches his
wagon to an operate star, and Mr.. Story was in
no way exceptional in his submergence. When
the Story -Eames marriage was dissolved the re-
sulting publicity tended to fix the artist yet
more firmly in the public mind in his relation
to the singer. Now that he is gone it IS his
due to emphasize his achievement as a painter,
which has been officially recognized in Europe
and which had he been differently married would
have brought him a much wider recognition
here at home.-Brooklyn Eaqla

Where shook the earth with hoarsely ut

Where vietors laughed and wounded

Save when some pedant airs his book

And yet this pile would speak-if but IT

To him who sought It's dust from
western shores;
To him who bordering its silence stood
PerpleXed upon this site of mimic wars;
For eloquent Of ancient lore it seems
To quote for these, our days OF doubt,
the Past:
Naught lives OF what men build except
Though kingdoms perish. dreams for

Where Caesar passed in state. the boot
Beneath the Roman moon makes
CHASTITY mock;
And dried-up fools with tape and measure
prowl,
To catalogue each crumbling plinth and
block
The mob that craved for blood its thumbs
turned down,
No longer fills with dread the fallen
slave;
The earth has yawned for all, and king
and clown
Have found what Time has dug for
both-a grave.
But virglrs page, though old, seems ever

And Homer, new to piOddIng lads, is

Eternal truth still thrills with golden

Naught lives Of what men build except

STATE PRESS COMMENT

Hastings Tribune: With wheat at
1925 per bushel the farmer is the
real dough boy"
Fremont Tribune: The Nebraska
preacher who objects to skating be-
cause it encourages people to back
slides forgets that skaters are going
forward most of the time, many at
a gait that beats the devil.
Kearney Hub: The reconstruction
congress at Omaha took a decided
stand against government ownership
of railroads, which we believe is in
accord with a rapidly growing senti-
ment in the United States.
Harvard Courier: When the legis-
lature passes the bill limiting the
number of banks it should also limit
the number of newspapers, drygoods
stores and other lines of business.
All of us would like to have our own
particular lines Of business included
in such a law.
Hastings Tribune: Pictures Of
William Jennings Bryan holding the
loving cup, presented to him by the
prohibitionists, are now being
framed. But why should the pro-
hibitionists select a loving cup? And
who ever heard Of loving cup con-
tanning grape juice?
Aurora Sun: Early pasture will
be welcomed by all who have had
to buy high priced feed during the
winter months, although the mild
weather reduced the amount of feed
necessary by one-half. Yards and
grassy plats have been green all
winter, and with the ground soaked
clear to the bottom at the opening
of spring it looks like a guarantee Of

What Was Readjusted?

North Platte, Neb., Feb. 27.-To
the Editor of The Bee: Wanted:
To know what it was that the recent
religious and business conventions
in Omaha 'readjusted,
We are not responsible for what
was reported but wish some inter
ested party would give us one clear
and new idea that was expressed at
either convention.
In the religious convention we
noted the rather startling but not
exactly new idea of raising a stu
pendous amount OF money. We have
learned 10 expect this idea of get
ting money to be the chief end of
mans existence, but when we looked
on to note what this might be for
we see this very shop-worn express
sion ito take the world for Christ. :"
In view of the fact that we have so
recently emerged from the bloodiesr
war the world has ever known in
which every nation was fighting as
they ostensibly claimed with and for
Christ, and in every nation the
church was lined up solidly with
their rulers while worshipping the
same God, it seems not too much to
inquire what might be meant by the
world for Christ"
We see in the reports that the peo-
pie came in for some acid rebukes
for their industrial and social actiVi-
ties and evidences of unrest; this as
usual seemed a part Of the religious
program, but as usual also we failed
to see any discussion of remedies or
cures, in fact no mention Of child
labor, long working hours, low
wages, high living or danger
Gus conditions. Nothing was re-
ported as being considered to help
unemployment. or make good to our
returning soldier boys, nothing about
our vile prisons or the fact that sew
eral thousand are being tortured it
, is claimed in these prisons who are
held, not for acts of crime, but even
now, while other nations are releas-
ing political prisoners, we, in times
of peace, still prosecute our citizens

for merely expressing political opln-
ions. Nothing was reported as to
concern expressed at the condition
of the negro in our midst. Does the
church still intend to forget that all
these things and many more bear
very directly upon, not only the "un-
rests" of men. but also on the
chances of the church ever taking
the world for Christ.
The Business Mems congress also
roundly scolded labor In various
places for not being pacifics, and
throughout there seemed a rather
peculiar mixture of smiles and
frowns bestowed upon erstwhile Ia
Dor, we here noted no new propo-
sails; nothing new to meet any new
condition. The phrase, getting
back to" something or other was
the commonest one we saw. ]. O..
Armour, one of the biggest in the
biggest combines we know, was per-
haps merely trying to be funny when
he insists we must get back to in
dividualism.
And we become mixed when our
governor proposes to suppress "op-
position to laws" by legislative en-
actment. Since the right to criticizs,
oppose and repeal law is the very
fundamental of democracy we Won
der if he didn't mean resist" rather
than oppose"
The particular cures for all social
and industrial troubles as expressed
by these men were summed up in
the time-old words of capital and
labor Shaking hands," trying to
understand each other, being I'M
selfish" in short being good with
special emphasis, of course, on labor.
All seemed especially determined to
give to labor its measure of oats and
its stall, and one radical among them
even went so far as to suggest that
where the oats had been piled lit
tie high as a war measure that
they proceed slowly" in reducing
the rations. We are hoping no one
will be mean enough to call this
thoughtful readjuster a bolshevist.

Death Of a Soldier.

Mrs. d. E. M.-The confusion at
the War department, occasioned by
the enormous amount of work sud-
denly thrust on the organization by
the end of the war may explain the
delay you have encountered in get
ting word concerning your son,
Would suggest that you write to the
captain of his company. at A. p. O..
746. on the gath 81 July the seth
infantry was with the Fourth di-
vision on the Ourcq: on July 81 this
division was at Cherry Chartreuse;
from September &c to November it
was in the Meuse-Argonne cam
paign. Can not give you the loca-
ton of any particular unit or the en-
gagements it took part in. The ac-
ton was practically one battle.
Write to the quartermaster general,
Washington, D. c., in regard to
your sons pay. Machine gun COM
pany of the 13Sth infantry is sched-
uled for return in May. The govern
ment has decided not to undertake
to bring home the bodies of those
who died in France.

Justice IN Courts Martial

The senate in passing the house bill which
authorizes the commanding officers to mitigate
or remit sentences imposed by courts-martial
has met the almost universal desires of the
American people. Nothing, indeed, has so
shocked the sense Of justice and American fair
play as the admitted facts about the extreme
sentences imposed by army courts for what
were, in some cases, trivial offenses. Under the
circumstances, public opinion being what it is,
it is not unlikely that congress will pass stiff
bill revising court-martial procedure in general;
while it would not be surprising if the measure
of Representative Hayden, directing the secre-
tary of war to cause a review to be made OF all
courts-martial proceedings incident to the pres
ent war; were also favorably considered. 1t is
not that the public does not believe in the
strictest military discipline and the most pro-
found sense of duty being set up during war
times for the good of the service. That it
does and did believe in military discipline being
met and lived up to is shown in the way in
which there was universal sentiment in favor
of the draft and in the strict discipline of the
camps, that in so short time trained raw re-
cults for active service at the front, where what
they did has again called for the most extreme
praise from the president himself on his landing
in Boston But sound discipline is one thing
and unfair trials and grotesque and cruel YER
diets and outrageous sentences are another.
And on this latter issue the country feels very
keenly and is not likely to change its opinion.
So it looks as if the bureaucrats of the War de-
partment will get small support from congress
or the people at large in any of these remedial
matters that have been raised in connection
with their hide bounded adherence to old and
discredted procedures during the war.-Phila-

Mr.. FAMILY MAN:
Why Spend So Much
Money on Shoes?

Here is what Tracy Munson Of
Joplin, Missouri, says of Ne0ln
Soles: Judging from my own ex-
perience, they wear four times longer
than other soles and have the addi-
tional advantage of being waterproof
and slip-proof."
Why continue to wear extravagant
oId-fashioned soles when you can get
these money-saving, long-wearinglsoles
on new shoes in any style you9like
for any member of the family? Good
shoe stores everywhere carry them.
And don't throw away your old
shoes. Have them re-bottomed with
Ne6lin Soles and enjoy the comfort
of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff
or clumsy. Ne6lin Soles are a dis
covery of Science, and are made by
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear all
other heels.
