BARRIERS COUGHED AWAY
Elbert Hubbard Hai the Grip and Omaha
Sjmpathizei with Him,
CLUB WOMEN FORGIVE HARSH CRITICISMS
Fifteen Huodrrd Philistines lircet the
Philosopher of Work nml .loin
lllm In Dlscltlchl to
Morrli.
A strange face Is Elbert Hubbard's. At
first glance one cannot determine whether
It Is tho face of nn ancient or a modern,
whether tho face of nn overgrown Oliver
Ooldsmtth or nn up-to-dnte vendor of
patent medicines.
His long, black hair marks him as either
an eccentric man of today or n gentleman
of King George's time and his unconven
tional dress suggests the attire of the de
lightful Oliver, whom Stuart Ilobson has
mado kuown to the twcntietn century.
Fra Klburtus wears a frock coat, which
suggests comfort rather than Poole. His
collars are several Inches lower than those
worn by the prlnco of Wales nnd his binck
netktlo Is a bow with flowing ends, such ns
men wear who think they have an artistic
teranermamcnt, but do not establish print
shops, publish magnilnes, lecturo and do
other things which turn eccentricity into
coin of the realm.
Hut after all Elbert Hubbard Is much like
other men. Ho has tho grip. That was the
first admlsslijui he made when he stopped
Into the nulpu ot ine i-irsi .iictnoaisi
church last night and faced 1.J00 Philis
tines, Even the club women, who disap
proved so thoroughly of the erratic views on
matrimony which nuuuaru recently gnvc
itttcranco to, forgave him when he told of
his ailment.
Hubbard has a bad cough. His audience
coughed with him and the barrier between
tho speaker and his auditors was broken.
For tho time being ho was not tho mighty
leader of a flock of worshipers, but Just n
suffering man, who had contracted the
grip In ChlcHgo nnd was thankful that he
had escaped the rigors of an Illinois wim-
ter nnd wns In Omaha to toll somo con
fidential friends of tho great William Mor
ris and bis doctrine ot work.
Pink Tcui. mill Sparc lloomx lunored.
And anyone who heard the messnge that
Hubbard brought call forglvo him for say
ing that pink tens arc a bore and thnt the
sparo rooms of tho ambitious entertainers
of celebrities do not always contain u bed
of roses. To get on Intimate terms with
Hubbard It Is necessary to call him John-
Just plain John. TIiIb Is the nninc ho bears
In East Aurora and there Is a story In how
be camo by It.
One day tho chief Itoycroftcr was trlm
mine some Ireca In his orchard. Ho was
dressed In the garb of a laborer and en
joying himself with tho abandon ot a serf.
A man who wns driving a fine horso slopped
In front of tho abode of the Hoycrofters
nnd called to the man In tho orchard:
"John, como over hero and hold my
horse."
John obeyed and tho fashionably-dressed
man strutted Into the house and Inquired
for Mr. Hubbard. Tho Joke was bo good
that tho associates of Fra Klburtus per
petuated It by calling him John.
The philosophy of Froeucl nnd Pcstnlozzl
and the teachings of Iluskin, Cnrlylo and
Morris arc united In tho messago which
Hubbard delivered and finally epitomized
in tho following words:
"If you would have me give you a roclpo
for a great and splendid life I would an
swer, 'Work and then work, travel, rcvero
and pray.' "
It was n sermon which he preached.
He nnnounced at tho beginning In truo
orthodox stylo that his text was from
Carlylo nnd road: "Hlesscd is tho man who
has found his work." Then he udded:
"The rurso of tho world Is Joyless work."
William Morris Is tho exemplification of
tho sentiment of the two quotations nnd ills
llfo was reverently reviewed by his great
disciple, tho man who fashioned his East
Aurora colony nfter tho company of con
genial spirits whom Morris brought to
gether In Englnnd years ago.
.Mnkcs All Men I, Ire llcttcr.
"William Morris exerted n greater Influ
ence upon England than nny other man In
the Inst 200 years. His Influcnco can bo
found in every woll-furnlshed house of
today. He tnught people to buy things
and to buy them good. His philosophy
taught that llfo should be simple. Ho be
lieved that pictures and literature nre good
only Insofar as we nro In sympnthy with
them nnd mako them our own; Insofar
nB wo feel what tho creator of tho book or
picture felt." sold Elbert Hubbard. "Morris
and his associates styled themselves the
Prc-Itaphaellto brothors and rescued Eng
land from tho prevailing fashion ot filling
houees with useless, gaudy furnishings.
Morris was a master ot six trades. Ho
was an artist nnd architect and a poet In
one. His poetry was so good thnt ho would
havo been mnde laureate had ho not culled
himself a socialist. Ho set forth his views
upon tho street corners and was thrown
Into Jail. Hut ho was not a socialist In tho
senso that many men nre. No two so-
called socialists hold tho snmo view. To
Morris socialism wns the Idea of Joining
hands with men and assisting them.
"He believed that tho men who mnko an
nrtlclo are of raoro importance thnu the
article. Ho considered the men who work
nnd not tho product of their work. Tho
buyer of his products was disregarded by
Morris. He opposed competition and did
nil In his power to uplift and ennoble la
bor."
Mr. Hubbard's rule for a happy life Is,
"Do something for somebody."
