Tho project to establish un art
niUBOtim in Chicago out of tho ruins of
tho world's fair, ia attracting much at
tention, particularly since Chicago's
millionaires huvo nuulo bucIi u princely
hIiow of gencroflity, on paper, in connec
tion with tho enterprise. Aprojsis
comes tho following inturostinff hit of
gossip and comment:
"Mr. L. Z. Leltor, who has alvvayH
been very popular with Chicago people,
notwithstanding his long ubsonco from
that ambitious city, created a great
deal of amusement and delight Inst
week, I understand, by his entrance
into tho great go-as-you-please, giving-away-fortuno
contest now raging among
tho millionaires of tho western metro
H)lis. It was not so much Mr. Lolter's
gift of $100,000 to tho great museum
project that caused tho amusement as
tho conditions upon which ho made the
bestowal. Ho agreed to subecribo $100,
000 to tho fund on tho two conditions
that tho building should bo located in
Jackson Park, and that it should also
1)0 called tho Columbian Muhouiii.
This would bo a very proper name for
tho institution, but tho sly humor of
Mr. Loiter in attaching those conditions
to his gift is tho point that intereHtH
Huch of his friends as nro aware of his
motive in imposing it."
"It is a fact perhaps not generally
known that tho ono weakness of Mr.
Marshall Field (if such a thing may ho
culled a weakness) is tho vory natural
desire to havo his nanio, and his alone,
attached to any great enterprise with
which ho is connected. It is a historical
fact, though porhapB not ono generally
known, that tho reason for Mr. Loiter'n
withdrawal from tho great linn of Field,
Leitcr & Co., many years ago, lay in tho
wish manifested by Mr. Field to havo
his own name, and that of no other man
uppcar on Jtho signboard in front of tho
shop. While nobody in Chicago doubts
for a moment tho intensely philanthro
pic motives that impelled Mr. Field to
make his conditional bequest of u mil
lion dollars to the Museum project, it is
also vory well known that up to tho
tinio Mr. Leiter mado his gift there
existed a very Btrong probability that
tho institution now being planned
would bo culled Tito Field Art Museum,
out of compliment to tho generous
gentleman who hud started tho ball a
rolling, so to speak, by so magnificent a
gift. But, in ordor to avail themselves
of tho munificence of Mr. Leiter, tho
.gentlemen who aro engineering tho pro
ject must tind some other name than
that of The Field Art Museum, and
that is why tho friends of Mr. Loiter aro
chuckling softly to themselves over the
bit of rare satire involved in the con
ditions upon which he has mado his
gift. It is worth while stating, by tho
way, that none of these hugo subscrip
tions to tho Museum fund have yet
been puid over."
Considerable interest attaches to tho
caso of tho two Seventh Day Adventlsts
who havo been sent to prison at Center
villo, Md., for working on tho tlrst day
' of the wcok, in violation of the law of
Maryland. They preferred to go to
prison rather than pay tho lino Imposed
by tho court, becauso they believed that
thus they could make tho most impres
sive protest against any legal interfer
ence with a doctrine of their faith.
Counsel for tho two men havo given
notice that they will tuke tho caso to
tho higher courts of tho Btuto; and from
there, if tho decision bo advcise, to tho
supremo court of tho United StatcB,
when tiio urgument will bo based upon
tho principle set fortli in the first
amendment to tho constitution. The
Until decision of the question at issue
will interest not only the Seventh
Day Adventists, who are lurgely repre
sented in Lincoln and vicinity, but
Seventh Day Baptists and believers in
tiio Jewish faith urd the unbelievers in
religion.
Lincoln is not tho only city in tho
country that has a telephone war on its
,hund. There is tho biggest kind of a
row on in New York whore fJOOtelophono
subscribers havo been notified that they
must givo up their telephones or pay tho
advanced ruto of tho company $240 a
year. Tho board of electrical control
has directed tho removal of overhead
wires of tho company, necessitating that
they bo placed in tho subways. This
order does away with 500 grounded cir
cuits on which as muny old instruments
were used at a rentul of 8150 a year, paid
by subscribers. Tho subscribers aro
told that grounded circuits cannot be
used in tho subwuya becauso of tho in
duction, which mixes messages up; thut
u metullic circuit, which costs much
more to operato, and a nower instru
ment with latest improvements must bo
used, and for this tho company demands
ij'210 a year.
Tho evening papers on Saturday and
the Journal Sunday morning published
u curd Blgned by Muyor Weir in which
he uBked suggestions from "clergy
men, professional men and others" us to
hoT
I
tho most effective
social evil.
way to treat th
Tub CouitiKit would call Major Weir's
attention to two or three provisions of
tho municipal codo. It is provided in
tho twentieth section of tho city charter
that tho mayor "shall tako care that tho
ordinances of tho city and the provisions
of this act aro complied with.''
When Mnor Weir was installed in
ofllco ho took tho following oath: "I
do solemnly swear that I will suport
tho constitution of tho United States
and the constitution of tho state of
Nebraska, and that I will faithfully dis
charge tho duties of the ofllco of mayor
according to tho host of my ability."
Article .'10 of tho general ordinances of
tho city provides that "it 'shall bo un
lawful for any person or persons within
tho limits of said city to keep, maintain,
or havo control of,. as mistress or other
wise, any such house of ill famo or
prostitution previously described, and
overy person so "trending shall, upon
conviction thereof, be fined in any sum
not less than twenty nor more than ono
hundred dollars for each olTense, and
shall be committed until such line and
costs of prosecution aro paid."
The same article also piovides thut
"it shall be unlawful for any person or
persons within the limits of said city to
bo harbored or concealed in any such
house of ill fume or prostitution, as un
inmate thereof, or who shall be con
nected in any manner therewith, con
tributing to the support thereof, and
any person so olTending shall, uon con
nection thereof, bo fined in any sum not
less than ten nor more than ono hun
dred dollars, and shall bo committed
until such line and the costs of prosecu
tion are paid."
There is another piovision, equally
clear and positive, governing visitors to
these places.
The position taken by the muyor and
excise board is remarkable. Suppose
the major had addressed a communica
tion to "clorgymen, professional men
and others," stating that he knew
Iositively that burglaries are being
committed in this city, and that ho had
certain knowledge of where at least
"nine" or "fourteen" of these law break
ers lived, and asking their advice as to
how ho should treat the evil of burglary.
Supposo that ho had naked for advice as
to how to prevent pickpockots from
plying their trude. Such u request
would not huvo been more remarkable
than the ono mudo last Saturday.
It is altogether out of tho province of
Muyor Weir to usk anybody's advico
on this subject, or to treat
tho evil according to unyl oJy'B
whim. There Is only one thing
for him to do, enforce the law. Tho law
on this point is so plain that in) inter
pretation by "clorgymen, professional
mon uiul others" is necessary, und
when tho luw directs in terms thut are
clear and positive, there is no room for
any speculative theories. Enforce tho
law and treat tho social ovil piecisely
tho sumo us burglary und arson and tiie
other crimes are treated. Prononcss to
commit this particular otTensois not any
more ineradicable than the weakness in
human nature thut causes mon to steal,
antl men are prevented from stealing by
u sjstem that imposes rigid punishment
on tho offender. Granted that the ovil
cannot bo entirely wiped out; it can at
least bo abated; hut tho only way to
abate it is to make un earnest attempt
suppress it. Qo utter it, urrest tho
offenders, punish them; then if thoy
offend again, arrest thorn and punish
thorn again; keep, everlastingly at it;
enforce the law. Muybo you can't wipe
out tho social ovil; you cun certainly
lessen it, and there is no better way than
simply to enforce the luw.
The vupid tsscnen of inanity is tho
term applied by a certain unuppreciative
person in this city to a publication thut
tho children and their relatives cry for
every month. This person has tho
supremo effrontery to scoir at tho Ladies'
Home Journal, a publication having,
heaven only knows, how many million
subscribers, and ono that discounts tho
Biblo and Shakespcaro, to say nothing
of Amolio Rives, in many u homo in Lin
coln, where culture is so thick that you
can bore a hole in it.
It is remarkablo how unrcstionsivo
some peoplo are. Ever sinco somebody
in ancient history Bcattorcd gold watches
before grizzly haired porkors, tliero havo
always been peoplo who havo lived next
door to art and novor mado its acquaint
unco. Intellectuality bus uppeuled in
vain to men whoso heads would make
good stone breukcrs. An J the good
and tho true and tho beautiful too often
knock at tho foor of imbeciles who nro
deaf und dumb und blind. The Coukikk
is unablo to comprehend tho fact that
thoro aro peoplo who cannot appieclate
tho intellectual vigor that is tho dis
tinguishing characteristic of tho Ladies'
Home Journal, Mr. Dok's paper is tho
most diverting periodical that comes to
Tiik Couuieu'b high salaried exchango
editor. It is full of a virilo onorgy that
most effectually routB that tired feeling
and makes the reader thankful that ho
is permitted to live in this golden ago of
owe Journal and l'oar's
soap.
In this great paper one can read tho
future of tho human race and advertise
ments of tho "Genuine Jackson Favorite
Waist," and "Scott's Emulsion, tho cream
of cod-liver oil and hyto.phosphltcs,"and
"Luctuted Food," and "Foathorbono
Corsets," and otlter things, and thoro is
at, times a rugged, almost Spartan-llko
tone to thonrtlclcsthatmnkcp you proud
of tho healthy, spirited, heroic tendency
of tho age. The man who thinks this
publication, whoso mime is u household
word wherever English or any other
tongue is spoken, even In tho inner-most
recesses of Borneo, is a vapid essence of
inanity probably fell on his head in his
youth.
There is one department of tho
Uulies Homo Journal thut we admire
particularly. It surpasses In literary
and sclentillc valno anything that cun
bo found in uny other publication. It
Is broadly intellectual and uplifting In
Its trend. Wo refer to the regular
monthly two column "Side Talks Witli
Girls" by Ruth Ashmore. Miss Ash
more dispenses wit li prodigal liberality
so much information thut is absolutely
beyond valuation!
Obsorvo for instance, the deep
philanthropy of the toughing admonition
to "Bessie D" in the December number
of this paper, to wear a very short cor
sot when riding. What might have
happened to "Bessie D" if sho had been
unable to secure Miss Ashnioro's advico
and hail actually gone riding inn long
corset, or oven ono of medium length, Is
something too serious for idle conjee
line. And surely no one can rail to
upprooiuto tho deop significance of the
words addressed to "J. E. B." viz; "In
making a first call a gentleman should
not remain over twenty minutes." It Is
tho violation of such rules as this that
has caused thrones to totter and the
young man to miss his cur. Miss "J. E.
B'"swnyfor the future is clear. The
young iiiiiii who ventures to overstep, or
wo should Buy, ovorstny, tho limit, will
huvo tho clock and tho Ladies Hame.
Journal thrown in his face. He will
not do so again.
There is something decidedly invigor
ating in the intelligence cheerfully
vouchsafed to "M. L. B."- "if a gentle
man offers you his arm us he is walking
homo with yon in the ovenieg, you
should take it." Ono wonders, however,
what the young lady ought to do if tho
"gentlemun" ottered his arm curlier in
tho evening when thoy were leaving in
stead of returning to her home. And
whero.but in iho Ludies1 Home Journal,
that compendium of morals and wisdom,
could you obtain an opinion or such
value as tho following: "I think it very
improper for a girl of sixteen to go bout
ing ulono with a young man at night."
It can readily bo seen how this journal
is an absoluto necessity in every home.
And how gratifying it must bo to tho
refined peoplo who patronize tho L. H,
.., to know that Ruth Ashinoro thinks
it "vory improper ror any young woman
to allow u man friend to kiss her when
ever he desires."
Ruth rises to tho heights of inspira
tion when sho says: "It is novor proper
to cut from one's knifo.''-And to think
thut there is somebody in Lincoln who
thinks tho Ladies' Home Journal vupid!
Wo ulso lourn that it is not necessary to
put on tho deepest mourning for a
mother-in-law a most important point.
To "Holon H.," Ruth sajs: "If your
teeth havo become very much discolored
I would suggest huving thom clouned."
Could anything bo moro delicate thun
this?
This dopurtmont of Ruth Ashnioro's,
to say nothing of tho equally intellectual
contributions by other peoplo, is of
inesthnublo worth, und itiseusyto soo
how it must appeal to tho womon of
or this country, who without Ruth's ud
vice, would disgruco thomselves every
day. And thoro is so much strength in
the paper that it is tho best kind of a
tonic. Inanity indeed! Some peoplo
aie very dull. We aro sorry ror those
who cannot appreciate tho sublime
merit or the Ladies' Home Journal.
