Brisbane
By BENJAMIN DECASsEREs

Of the literary style of Arthur
Brisbane, it might be said what
Button said in his discourse Of
reception into the French acad-
emy, "the style is the man him
self"
The style Of Brisbane possessed
to the last degree those qualities
that all writer's should strive for:
Clarity, terseness, luminosity.
These qualities are found in
their utter perfection in Voltaire,
the new testament, Victor Hugo,
Montaigne (for simplicity, Ralph
Waldo Emerson and Anatole
France.
One could trace the profound
influence of these masters of ex-
preston in everything that BriS-
bane wrote, particularly in that
daily Pepys diary of the world
as it is-"TODAY."
Most of our thoughts and the
manner of expressing them are
verbose and turgid; but Brisbane
had found the secret for which
all writer's who love their art as
Rembrandt loved his brush strive
for night and day.
That secret is SIMPLICITY.
In those little frames" that
made up his daily TO-DAY" there
was an art-the art of CONCEN-
TRATION and ELIMINATION
that was so we'll concealed that
to the casual reader they looked
las easy as pie"
And many a writer has believed
those "SquareS"-So like tiny mo-
ton picture "frames"-could be
initiated. But no one ever sue
ceeded in doing what Brisbane
achieved in his TODAY" because
no newspaper brain that I have
ever known ever possessed that
gift of CONDENSED EXPIRES
SION that nature bestowed on
BRISBANE.
In his own particular sphere he
was what Remy de Gourmont
The Washington times., 1936-12-28

another predicted that the House
of Representatives would halt q
proposed dry law.
The draft, mentioned in another
Page One story. was one-fifth
complete in the District with 213
men already mustered into the
Army.
Call for Carpenters
A classified ad that is interest
ing today contained an urgent
plea for so carpenters to go to
work in Norfolk, Va.
On the editorial page there ap-
peared three editorials, one headed
mo Prohibition Childi6hnesS in
the House this Session." one on
the death of Mr.. Woodward and
one entitled, do You Feel Dis
couraged."
Mr.. Brisbane's first column had
four topical headings:
Germany Eats Elephants.
"The Pneumogastric Nerve in
Danger"
"Gott Strafe Amerika."
II. w. w. FoolishneSS."

Brisbane knew the exact value
and carrying power of words. He
knew the most important thing
of all-THE WORD NOT TO
USE.
Brisbane once quoted the pro-
found saying of Theophile Gau-
tier: THE INEXPRESSIBLE
DOES NOT EXIST"
That, I should say, after read
ing Brisbane for 40 years, was his
private motto. He knew, always,
PRECISELY what he wanted to
say; he knew the EXACT words
in which to set the thought. He
knew it with the same sureneSs
that Chopin knew the keys on his
piano and all the combinations
of sound that could be evoked
from those keys.
There was nothing foreign or
unimportant to that avid and
electric mind, for-as Goethe said
of himself-Arthur Brisbane made
copy" out of EVERYTHING.

Times First Printed
BriSbane'S Today

On August 2, 1917, Arthur Bris-
bane's column, To-day" was first
published, on the front page Of
the Washington Times.
Soon after Mr.. Brisbane had
purchased the paper his editorials
achieved such popularity that he
was finally pursuaded to run the
column on Page One, Column One.
The first Of Mr.. Brisbane'S
Times columns and the last were
made up by Frank A. Hughes,
now IS years old, who has worked
for The Washington Times since
1894.
That was a hectic time, nearly
20 years ago. Many events Of
worldwide and local significance
were taking place. The World
War was being fought by the
United States, spy scares were
rife and the draft was well under
way.
One Page One of that August
issue of the Times, were two
streamers, one announcing the
resignation of a Russian general,
the other telling Of the death Of
q local merchant.

of violets and lilies of the valley.
1t was a plain black walnut cesket.
Huge bouquets Of flogewS, sent
by loving friends Of the deceased
editor, were banked on both sides
of the casket. Nearby were the
Christmas decorations of the
church-a huge Christmas tree
which had been placed to one side
of the altar minus decorations and
attached to the balconies of the
church were half a dozen wreaths
of holly. 1t was significant that
Mr.. Brisbane died on Christmas
Day and that one of his last col
umns dealt with the hope that
the Christmas season inspires.
Mr.. Hearst q MOurner
Seated in the front-row pews,
to the left of the middle aisle, were
members of the brisbane family
To the right sat Mr.. Hearst, Gov
ernor Herbert H. Lehman, Bernard
Gimbel, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia,
James A. Farley, Joseph c. Con-
molly and other close friends of
Mr.. Brisbane. Back Of them sat
many who had been associated
with Mr.. Brisbane for years in the
newspaper business.
Mrs. Brisbane and her younger
children did not attend the services
but remained at the family apart
ment in New York city until the
body was taken by motor to Allaire
for the private services at the
grave.
The family was represented at
the church by Seward Brisbane,
Mr.. Brisbane's 22-year-old son;
Sarah Brisbane McCrary, his daugt-
ter, and her husband, j. H. Nc
Crary, jr.; Seward Cary, Mrs. Bris-
bane's father, and Mrs. Gilmore
Cary Smith, sister of Mrs. Bris-
bane.
The choir, at the opening of
the services, sang the professional
hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Then the Rev. Mr.. Sargent as
cended the pulpit and read from
st. John, Chapter 1914:
II am the resurrection and the
life, saith the Lord; he that be-
ieveth in Me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live; and who
sOever iveth and believeth in
Me, shall never die. :"
The choir then sang the Twenty
third Psalm.
The Rev. Mr.. Sargent said more
prayers, the choir sang Lead
Kindly Light" and the rector went
to the head Of the casket, facing
the congregation.
Solemn Prayer
Solemnly, in measured tones
amid an impressive silence the
rector said:
Unto Almighty God we COM
mend the soul of our brother de-
parted, and we commit his body
to the ground; earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in
sure and certain hope of the
resurrection unto eternal life,
through our Lord Jesus Christ;
at whose coming in glorious maj
eSty to judge the world, the
earth and the sea shall give up
their dead; and the cOrruptible
bodies Of those who sleep in Him
shall be changed, and made like
unto His own glorious body; ac-
COrding to the mighty working
whereby He is able to subdue all
things unto Himself"
After the rector had thus COM
mitted the body unto Almighty
God the choir gently sang:
Il heard voice from heaven"
The Rev. Mr.. Sargent then re-
cited the Lords Prayer and three
other special prayers.
AS the choir sang a occasional,
''Hark, Hark, My Soul" the casket
was lifted from the catafalque and
borne from the altar down the mid
die aisle and out of the church.
Immediately following the
casket was the Rev. Mr.. Sargent

MR.. BRISBANE
PRAISED BY
CLERGY

Arthur Brisbane today was de-
scribed as one of the leading
thinkers of modern times by
clergymen and other prominent
WaShingtonians.
DR.. Abram Simon, rabbi Of the
Washington Hebrew Congrega-
ton, in commenting on his death,
said:
arthur Brisbane had an en-.
cycIOpedicaL mind. He seemed
to have a great knowledge Of the
sciences and Of the humanitieS
Of the world. He had mind Of
vast versatility.
GREAT HUMANITARIAN
"The thing that 1 admired
most about him was his great
humanity, his largeneSs. He
seemed to take the whole uni
verse to his heart.
"As a Jew, 1 admire him for
his good will toward us. He did
more for racial tolerance than 3
dozen societies"
The Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of washington, said:
"He was one Of the foremost
editors Of our generation. He
was a keen observer Of political
events, but one who had a high
sense of moral values.
LOYAL AMERICAN
"His loyalty to American In
stitutiOnS was one of his dOmi-
nant characteristics, but beyond
all this, 1 admired him as man
who, in his personality and
through his pen, exercised a
widespread influence for good"
The Rev. William F. Mcdowell,
Methodist Episcopal Bishop OF
Washington:
"FOr years he has been an
outstanding figure in American
journalism, a consistently able
and brilliant writer. 1t is re-
markable that he maintained
such a high level of ability for
so long a time"
Rabbi Solomon Metz of the
AdaS Israel Congregation, COM
mented as follows:
"In Arthur Brisbane we have
lost man who really exempli-
fled the philosophy of Abraham
Lincoln: With charity to all
and malice to none. He was truly
cosmopolitan in his love and at
the same time, truly American
in his patriotism"
FOUGHT FOR EQUALITY
Gas far as we Jews are con.
cerned, he did more to combat
racial prejudice than any other
man. In this, he exemplified
the finest ideals Of American
ism"
Other expressions were as fok
lows:
Charles B. Dulcan, general
manager of the Hecht Co.
"When 1 was quite a young
Ster, 1 found myself able to read
Arthur BriSbane's editorials.
Like others, 1 was helped to
think by this great journalist
and editor. He was a maker Of
mems thoughts.
81 met him only once or twice,
but I feel as though a friend
had passed away. He was, as a
matter of fact, q universal
friend"
Mrs. Charles A. Goldsmith:
81 have always been a great
admirer of Mr.. Brisbane, al.
though l never knew him per.
SOnally. 1 have always read him,
and believe that he was a won
derful thinker and a wonderful
publisher. His death is a great
loss not only to this country but
to all the world"

 Boston, Oct. 22-Marking his first public appearance since completing his fifteen year term as Comptrol- Ter General of the United States, John Raymond McCarl today &C., cepted the invitation of the New England Council to come to Boston November 19 and speak before the opening session of the 18th annual New England Conference of the New England Governors and the industrial and business leaders of the six states.
 "As the key fiscal officer and observer of federal finances from 1921 until his retirement June 29, 1886, MT. McCarl is in unique po- sition to interpret for the New Eng land industrial and business com nnunity the financial problems of the federal government that must be faced after the national elec- tion, said Executive Vice-President Dudley Harmon of the New England Council, in announcing MT.

A0RCCA0k OV 41AC OCAAVCIdO)
 New Haven, Oct. 21.-An educa- tional system to provide the youth of the nation with early training for careers in government was ad- vocated today by Congressman James A. Shanley, democratic can- didate for reelection to congress from the third congressional dis trict.
 "Only by training career men in government and by the application of the merit system to filling gov- ernmental positions" asserted MT. Shanley, lis it possible for the municipality, the state and the na- tion to have the type of adminis- trators and workers whose acts spell efficiency, dignity and economy.
 The United States, he declared, would do well to follow the system which Britain applies to the ap- pointment of civil servants.
 ''The British can be certain, "he said, that their public servants are the most intelligent and efficient obtainable and that they will act only to sustain, if not enhance, the prestige of the Empire"
 MT. Shanley pointed out that it is possible for British youth to re- ceive training in government from the earliest possible age. Hence when they are placed in govern mental posts, regardless of their im- portance they know what to do and how to do it," he concluded.
 AS to the American system of 'the victor claiming the spoils' MT. Shanley said: There is not thing of permanent value to be gained by the distribution of political patron age. One makes more enemies than friends. And rarely, if ever, is the highest type of public servant ob- tained."
