Bryan Rests at Arlington.

William Jennings Bryan rests now
at Arlington, after a career of stress
and earnest advocacy Of high ideals.
He was laid at rest yesterday, mourned
by great multitude of Americans
to many of whom he was a prophet,
and to others a sincere worker FOR
righteousness in the life Of the people
of this country.
In the course of the more than
thirty years of his energetic partici-
patton in public affairs, Mr.. Bryan
impressed himself deeply upon the
minds Of the American people. His
versatility, his gift as an orator, his
unflagging energy. his readiness to
labor in any cause which he deemed to
he vital TO the economic and the
spiritual welfare of his fellow citizens
commanded admiration, and from
many a devotion that survived his de-
feats and disappointments in the
political field.
If he was conscious of the approach
Of his end at Dayton it is probable
that Mr.. Bryan welcomed death in the
circumstances. He could have wished
for no more fitting time OF passing,
for he was at the climax Of one Of his
greatest endeavors. He was not a
man to desire to wane into decrepi-
tude and TO linger on in life without
participation. In this present affair,
however, he did not regard his work
l1I +.
ed. He realized that for the present
the legal aspect Of the Dayton case
was paramount, even though he was
chiefly concerned in the religious is
sue. 1t would have been greatly to
his liking had he been spared to carry
on through all the stages of the con-
test as protagonist for his view as
champion for literal faith and belief.
The Bryan who was laid at rest yes
terday was the fighting man, the sol
der, not the academic observer His
vigor was undiminished, his powers
were in no wise lessened. He was at
the height OF his career, though prob
ably he had abandoned major politi-
cal aspirations. 1t was not in him,
however, to stop. He never spared
himself. Whatever the call to service
he answered. 1t was not required OF
him that he go to Dayton in Midsum-
mer to spend his last vital energies in
a proceeding that was technically be-
yond his own jurisdiction. But he
could not with consistency to his own
nature have refrained from appear
ing, not merely as an onlooker, but
as an active, even vehement, actor in
the drama.
As the years pass the memory of
Bryan will probably center chiefly
upon this. final role rather than the
earlier one of politics. The political
chapter in his life had practically
closed. Had he succeeded in his as
piration to lead the country as Execu-
tiye no later activity would have be-
come the dominating element in his
fame. But in the circumstances his
fellow Americans will recall him here
after chiefly as the advocate of funda-
mentalism in religious observance, as
the opponent of moderniSt thought in
biblical Interpretation rather than as
tho champion of bimetalism and of
other economic theories and pro-
cedures related TO the practical life
Of the people.

conservationist."
His warning would be taken more
seriously" remarks the Worcester
Telegram, "if he were not suspected
of being an enthusiastic worker for
the political advancement of Clifford
Pinchot." The Admission Star empha
sizes a statement by the Gadsdeu
Times that 'Pinchot should be sup
pressed" and that "he and his kind
would conserve our water powers
and maintain them as assets to the
Nation, thus preventing their develop
ment for hydroelectric purposes in
the South"
Fifteen years ago" says the Los
Angeles Times, in something of the
same vein, power conservation was
used as a political issue by the So
called Progressives. Pinchot talked
the loudest and made the most ex-
travagant charges against those who
were harnessing the water power then
going to waste, and delivering ii in
the form of hydroelectric energy to
agriculture and industry. His con-
servation plans meant keeping the
coal and oil in the earth and leaving
the mountain streams embarrassed.
The use that has been made of these
products has convinced the West that
the Pinchot plan was wrong. but
Pinchot does not seem to have found
it out"
"The, Pinchot interest in conserva
ton isl granted, but just now he is
more interested in the political map
than anything else" asserts the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger, and the Reno
Gazette suggests that "the trouble
about Mr.. Pinchot is that he is un-
Justly suspicious of everybody else.
Referring to the possibility that
Gov. Pinchot will run for the Senate,
the New Orleans Item observes: Just
as regularity extends its loving arms
to gather wandering Wisconsin and
the Northwest back to it's sorrowing
bosom, somebody lights fireworks in
conservative Pennsylvania" reference
being made to the possibility that
Pinchot will seek a Senate seat.
The Muskegon Chronicle suggests
that every move Pinchot has made in
the last 20 years has indicated that
he has perfectly legitimate ambition
some time to occupy the White
House." and adds, "if he conceives
that the 'superpower' issue is to be
the vehicle, that does not mean, as
it might to some public men, that hs
is any the less sincere about t.

Yet they assert them confidently

Take this column. A friend said
TO me, anent the recent series OF
articles on Marcus Aurelius, "It must
be fine to let Marcus do your work
for you"
As a matter OF fact, such articles
are among the very hardest to write,
involving, as they do, careful reading,
study to see If one has the right
idea," and the necessity of trying to
keep pace with d great mind.

write when one is "brimful'' Of ideas
than to take the ideas of another
and weave into them enough of ones

Certainly, on the surface. it might
appear otherwise, whence comes, no
doubt the opinion quoted above. But
it is just the other way around. If

So Europe informs us anew.

And poets are painfully few.
Our humor's expressed by the comics
In patience ground out by the yard,
And our studies of world economics
We're finding exceedingly hard.

To see that his credit is sure.
His workers are planning and striving
In hope Of a world more secure.

But we mustn't be judged by the

by others, who see as he does a
threat of monopolistic industrial,
commercial. financial and political
control of the Nation
The Wichita Beacon, published by
former Gov. Henry j. Allen of Kan
sas. declares Mr.. Pinchot has per-
formed a valuable service to the pub
lie. THE utilization of power on a
large scale by great central organiZa-
tions is surely coming" says the Bea-
con- That some sort of State regula-
ton of monopoly is necessary In
such project hardly needs to be
argued" The importance of protec-
ton Is upheld also by the Portland
Oregon Journal, with the statement:
AN electric monopoly in powerful
hands would be tyranny. In public
control, even If privately operated. it
will be an incalculable blessing to the
race. Organization to protect public
interest in power development is i'm
perative." The Journal adds that
UneTS are tf1OuSdnuS upon
who look upon Gov. Pinchot as the
most useful man in the Republican
party, and who look to him for leader

water powers from utter and complete
monopoly"
The Government might well study
the power situation the Buffalo
News declares. ito determine whether
a gigantic monopoly is developing.
If affairs are as Gov. Pinchot repre-
sents them tp be. then it will. be nee
essary for the Government to provide
proper safeguards" The News judg-
ment is that 'the thing to do is to
establish and hold State lines on cleo
trical power; that is, with respect to
control over developments and serv
ice"
Pinchot's record "of service to the
people, of keen foresight and sound
judgment, of thorough earnestness
entitle him to more than a hearing
now" observes the Spokane Chronicle,
and the Wheeling Intelligencer adds
that 1.-The giant power idea adequately
protecting the public interest is
worthy of all support" The Sioux
City Tribune also believes 'it Is i'm

protected as to water power which is
available to all parts of the country"

The brief acquaintance of Washing
ton Irving with Mary Shelley, widow
of the poet Shelley, is related by
George S. Hellman in his new biog-
raphy, Washington Irving, Esquire. -
The two met in 1924, when Irving
was 40 and Mary Shelley, widowed
two years before, was %. They were
introduced by John Howard Payne,
who was himself in love with Mary,
but without success. Payne seems to
have been generous enough to wish
that his friend Irving might succeed
where he himself had failed. He wrote
to Irving that Mary Shelley was
eager to meet him. She had told
Payne that Irving had interested her
more than any one she had ever seen
since she had left Italy, and that she
"longed for friendship with him."
Mary Shelley's romantic disposition
may have made her exaggerate. The
meeting took place, but Payne's ex-
pectation of a warmer interest than
friendship between the two was dis
appointed. Irving had not yet recover

Foster in Dresden and was Indifferent

Notice my results

For 40 years I have consulted ex-

these helps, and spent a fortune.
Most women cannot do that. SO I
am placing at every woman's call
the best helps 1 have found. In
my busy stage life am urging you
to try them.
One is Youth Cream. 1t contains
products Of both lemon and straw
berry. Also the best that science
knows to foster, feed and protect
the skin. My own skin, envied by
millions, shows how much it does.
My Youth Cream comes in two
types-cold cream and vanishing.
Both have the same essential in
gradients. I apply the cold cream at
night to foster my skin while
sleep. In the morning 1 use the
vanishing type as a powder base,
and as all-day skin protection.
Now 1 am old, yet no debutante
could want a finer complexion. That
z is largely due to my Youth Cream.
I wish l could induce every girl and
woman to do what have done. Do the
utmost when you use cream. | Will
