Jones Enters Lists

The announcement Saturday that Jesse Jones Of
Houston will accept the mandate Of his Texas friends
and permit his name to 70 before the democratic n'-
tional convention as a candidate for the presidential
nomination received warm approval throughout the
South.
At the state convention the suggestion that the
Texas delegation be pledged to vote for Jesse Jones
met the approval of party leaders as well as the rank
and file. Mr.. Jones, however, dcmurred to the sug-
gestion, but upon the insistence Of Texas democrats
has finally agreed to become a candidate, and this de-
cision signifies that the Texas delegation will center
their efforts upon securing his nomination.
It Is universally admitted that Mr.. Jones has per-
formed distinguished service for his party. He Is i'm
menscly popular in Texas and is very highly regarded
in other democratic strongholds. He added to the IS
TEEN in which he is held by taking no part in the
faetional disputes at the Beaumont convention. and
while other party leaders were "jockeying" for fac
tionai position, he has consistently devoted his efforts
toward making the Houston convention the most sue
eessful in the history Of the party.
Mr.. Jones feels that since he was instrumental in
causing the democratic national committee TO choose
Houston for the convention this year. he should spare
no efforts to convince all elements Of the party that
they will be welcomed with typical Texas hospitality
As he says. he has been "too busy VISA plans for the
national convention next month T. give state politics
hueh consideration"
But other Texans have devoted a great deal OF
their time and attention TO state politics in recent
weeks. and while there IS some disagreement amohE
the leaders, none speak Of Jesse Jones nut TO praise
him. He is the one man upon whom Texas democracy
can center, and his decision to become n candidate will
have q harmonizing influence.
Governor Moody and Jesse Jones have an extra
ordinary hold on the affections OF the Texas people
Some OF the men who are most violently opposed to
Governor Moody's harmony program frankly admitted
the governor should head the Texas delegation. lhey
are Moody followers. even though they do not approve
i ~. Moody prorram. But to an even greater extent
Texas democrats esteem Jesse Jones Texas will do
fitting honor to one Of her distinguished sons by max
irv him her choice for the presidential nomination. ard

The World and All
By Charles p. Driscoll
ART OUT OF LIFE

Clare Sheridan has achieved notable success as a
sculptor. She is a good writer. ] do not know what
else she can do brilliantly and well, but | suspect that
her talents are innumerable. and that she can do well
whatever she determines to do.
1t is extremely interesting to me TO learn that Clare
Sheridan was not brought up in an art school. She
was reared as } London society woman, in the mids.
of a vast amount of pretense and display. Her parents
tried TO shape her career so that she would capture Z
wealthy husband. She disappointed this expectation ~
marrying w;lfred Sheridan, and he vas killed in the
war.
Mrs. Sheridan became a sculptor because there was
within her something she felt she must express in
sculpture. Her second baby died, after a short life Of
suffering during which il had endeared itself to her
as only a sick and beautiful child can endear itself u
a tender-hearted mother.
The bereaved mother did not want TO buy a marble
tombstone for the badly. She wanted to express he
own grief and memory. rather than hire a stonecutter
10 try TO do il for her. She she set to work 70 model
a little memorial panel, with her baby's face and figure
on il.
She went to a pottery to see how modelling n clay
was done. She took home some clay. and PRESENT.
was deeply engrossed in performing'a labor that helped
her to express her feeling. She really got the ex.
preston Of her dead child into the modelled figure,
but II took a long time.
Well. that's how Clare Sheridan became : sculptor.
She relates the incidents. without the interpretion I
have given them, in her autobiography, Naked Truth"
recently published by Harpers.
Afterwards, Mrs. Sheridan made money out Of her
art. She has done heads and busts and full figures OF
some Of the most prominent persons Of our time. And
she has done them well, because she is an artist. She
did not get her art out Of an art school. She got IL
out Of life. She did not become an artist until she had
ilrst lived. Her first work of art was an expression
from the depths Of her wounded soul. And that Is
row art comes 70 the artist.

While we have been devoted to the development of
our material resources, as a nation ought to be which
heeds the admonition to be diligent in business, We
have not been neglectful Of the higher things OF life.
In fact, / believe il can be demonstrated that the in
tellectual and normal awakening which characterized
our people in their early experiences was the fore.
runner and foundation If the remarkable era Of de-
velopment in which W now live. But in the midst Of
sll OF the s%wift-movins events, We have an increasing
need for inspiration. Men and women become con-
scious that they must seek for satisfaction in some
thing more than worldly success They are. moved with
a desire to rise above themselves. 1t is but natural
therefore, that we should .urn to the field Of art.
In the development cf an artistic sense and in min
istering to the love Of the beautiful, we naturally have
sought examples Of art Of rther years and other coun-
The assembling Of these treasures in museums not only
has made them available to the public, but has afford
ed the opportunity for comparison and study.
There are museums devoted 10 history and TO sci
ence, and, more recently, to the industries as we'll as
to art. Hundreds Of millions Of dollars have been
spent in land, buildings and equipment to accommodate
collections Of inestimable value. 1t is said that i costs
somewhere in the neiGhborhood Of S25,0oO,000 a year
to operate and maintain them.
1t is especially the practical side OF art thas re-
quires more emphasis. We need to put more effor.
IL We could surround ourselves with forms OF beauty,
the evil things Of life would tend to disappear and OUT
moral standards would be raised. Through our con-
tact with the beautiful We see more Of the truth and
are brought into closer harmony wit the infinite.
