WHAT DOES "CROSSING
THE RUBICON' MEAN?

"To cross the Rubicon" means to
commit oneself irrevocably to a
course of action. The Rubicon was
a small stream in ancient Italy. It
flowed into the Adriatic and was the
boundary between Italy and Cisal-
pine Gaul, the province allotted to
julius Caesar. Caesars crossing
the Rubicon in 40 B. c. made him an
invader Of Italy and the act was tan
tamount to a declaration of war
against Rome as represented by
POmpey and the Senate. There has
been much controversy in modern
times as to what river or stream was
known as the Rubicon in the time of
Casar. The stream cannot be posi-
lively identi1ed.-The Pathfinder.

The World and All
PERSONALITY THAT PERSISTS

All of US, no matter what be our faith in a future
life, long for some modicum Of Immortality in this
world that we now know. We part with life unwill-
ingly, and we ask those whom we love to remember us
When we face the circumstance of death We are sorry
that we have so few anchors whereby some portion
Of our personalities may continue to live in this world
at least for a little while. We hate to think that we
will be forgotten next year, and that all will be a
though we never had existed.
We strive for fame or reputation, largely because
we hope that our fame will live after US, and that those
who remain will often speak Of US almost as though
the most important part Of our personalities were still
living. We envy that man to whom a conspicuous
monument Of stone or bronze has been set up, because
that enduring thing in some sense represents earthly
immortality.
But the person who really lives among US after the
silencing hand of Death has been laid upon him is that
one who lives in our hearts. and whose personality
survives in institutions that perpetuate his ideals and
activities.
7 have never been an admirer Of Ebert Hubbard. I
have always believed that much Of the wisdom he rep
resented as his own was filched from others without
acknowledgment ] have always believed that the cul-
ture Elber : hubbard promoted was a spurious culture.
and that the things he represented as high-minded and
noble were really often just factors in the building IN
Of the Hubbard fortune, and largely without artistic
merit.
! visited East Aurora, New York, the other day. and
stopped at the Roycroft Inn. which Hubbard built. /
visited the Roycroft shops and examined some of the
printing done there. I saw the girls painting the covers
of Hubbard books with lacquer sprayed by air brushes.
! talked to persons who knew Hubbard well before he
went down on the Lusitania.
This much | am obliged to admit. Ebert Hubbard
had a powerful personality that made an impression
on his generation. Further, he won a big place in the
hearts Of millions who live some time after his death.
There was some merit in the things he stood for, and
the merit has survived. The genuine has not yet been
altogether winnowed from the false. but, when it is,
there will still persist a personality that will be the
best that was in Ebert Hubbard. This man was a
great Snowman, and his showmanship is fading out.
despite efforts Of his successors to preserve il. What
there was OF worth in the man will persist for many
years.
