Evening star., 1937-10-12

1t is inevitable that 1t again will be ac-
cepted by an electorate which, as Lincoln
said. is not perpetually susceptible of
being deceived.
Meanwhile, his friends mourn his un-
seasonable departure, yet rejoice that he
maintained his courage, his generous
hope, his chivalrous liberality to the end.
The gallant spirit of Mr.. Mills is i'm
mortal. 1t will continue to inspire the
party and the class to which he be-
longed. Also, It's power in days to come
will be manifest far beyond the limita-
tions of any such boundaries. The au-
thentic dynamics of civilization cannot
be suppressed. Human folly may defy
them for a moment, but they reassert
themselves when the fever declines.
Mr.. Mills knew these things and, faith
full to them, refused to compromise. If
he has paid with his life for his loyalty,
the circumstance is merely an additional
reason why he should be safe in the re-
membrance Of those of his contemporaries
possessed Of genius and wit sufficient to
comprehend his essential worth and
value.
Evening star., 1937-10-12
Ogden L. Mills.

No friend can avoid the thought that
1t is pity that Ogden L. Mills should
have died so soon. True enough, he
had been "out of fashion" in a period
OF adventurous experimentation, but his
gifts of mind and heart were too notable
to be in any danger of permanent neglect.
The people, almost certainly, will turn
back to sober leaders of his type when
the current furore has subsided.
MIR. Mills. had it been his choice, might
have spent his energies in some less
CLANCY field of interest than public
affairs. But he was patriotic by in
stinct and a philanthropist by natural
temperament. So he risked misunder-
standing and, in common with Herbert
Hoover, Andrew w. Mellon and other
earnest and honorable men, learned the
bitter lesson of republics ingratitude.
But history should be just. Mr.. Mills,
passing from the earthly scene too early
to be properly appreciated by the ma
jority of his countrymen while yet he
could know of their corrected point of
view, almost surely will be listed among
those who served the Nation wisely and
well. His philosophy was SOUND hccause
u was predicated upon experience, and

series Of reproductions Of forty EIGHT
paintings, exquisitely executed In nat
ural colors. The collection reflects the
genius of an equal number OF the most
notably talented creative characters who
ever have lived. Four prints are to be
released each week and each group Of
four will be accompanied by an illus
trated pamphlet by DR.. Bernard Myers
Of New York University, including in its
contents biographical sketches of the
artists and descriptions of their work.
There will be also news articles designed
to arouse an intelligent interest in
painting in general as well as in the
particular canvases chosen for repro
duction.
The enterprise is prompted by no
selfish motive. Its sponsors are five
university presidents, eight directors of
art museums, lengthy list of art
teachers, writer's, lecturers and others
concerned with the ideals it represents.
The cost of the series lies within the
range OF the average individuals
capacity to purchase luxury" But
The Star believes that art, In sober
truth, is necessity-without which life
is not worth living. The future, surely,
holds rich promise for the democratiza-
ton of beauty at which Mr.. Mellon
aimed. and The Star modestly but
faithfully aspires to serve that con-
summation devoutly to be wished"
