J. S. Sargent, a Good Man.

The big Chaoma baboon shot in
the monkey house the other daV
after he had killed his inoffensive
brother, the ring-tailed monkey,
has gone to the Museum of Natural
History* There he will stand
stuffed.
One of these days for the edifica
tion of children of a more civilized
i*ee, they may put wax figures of
Alexander, Ceasar and Napoleon
alongside the stuffed baboon with
this sign, “Children, respect this
baboon. He killed only one ring
tailed monkey, the other three
killed millions.”
Bernard F. Gimbel, who, with his
father, uncles, brother and cousins,
run several big department stores,
informs business men of New
York, through this column that
there is a real competitor in town.
This new department store man
who will run the old established
house of Stern Brothers, is Samuel
D. Mundheim of Pittsburgh. “He
will make all the New' Y^ork store
keepers take notice,” says Mr. Gim
bel.
Department stores become daily
more important, not only* in the
service of the public, but in the
opinion of high finance. Men with
money realize that for steel, oil,
copper, you have few customers.
For a well-run department store
^^^«u have a big percentage of the
■^^innual income of the United States,
and money pours in every day.
[Marshall Field & Co., in Chicago,
do a total business of more than
J150,000,000. The department
store is only starting.
The population of the United
States has increased by 8,000,000
during the past five years. There
are 111,000,000 of us now. When
the ill-informed suggest that popu
k lation will outgrow the country,
[don't worry.
The state of Texas alone under
intensive cultivation could feed
easily 2,000,000,000 human beings,
about 400,000,000 more than there
are on earth wow.
As for the ignorant man who
fays “more population will reduce
wages," n*k him how it happens
that, when there were only 4,000 -
000 people in the United State*
wages averaged less than 40 cents
a day, wherens with 100,000,000
they average close to $4?
John Singer Sargent died sud
denly in London yesterday morn
ing. He was a good painter and a
good man. If he meets his maker
face to face, as Tennyson expected
to do, he will be able to say truly,
"I did the best that I could with
the talent and power that you gave
me.”
Sargent will not stand among the
first 10 or the first 50 of 100 best
painters. The human race does
only one thing at a time really well.
This is the age of science, not of
art.
But Sargent was the best portrait
painter of his day. He saw the
“inside” of human heads and hearts.
He could paint the London art deal
er with his French poodle standing
beside him and show clearly in the
dog’s face the good qualities lack
ing in the dog’s owner. That’s
something.
Painleve will be French prime
minister. Herriot, lately prime
minister, will be in the new cabinet,
which will include two other social
ists.
Socialism has real power in
France and there is real discipline
in the socialist party.
Painleve could not become prime
minister without the socialists’ con
sent. And the three socialists could
not enter the new cabinet except
with their party’s consent. This
may explain to angry conservatives
the few pleasant words said about
Herriot by President Coolidge. The
president is acquainted with
French politics.
Bernard Shaw says the soul isn’t
a human - institution exclusively,
and dogs, or even beetles, may have
souls. G. K. Chesterton, deeply re
ligious and a Roman Catholic, ob
jects to that view. He doesn’t think
that the highly intelligent wolf,
humbly listening to the preachings
of St. Francis, had a soul to save,
and adds, “We do not know that
the hyena desires eternal life.”
Many who have found this life
unsatisfactory will say, “Intelligent
hyena, he knows when he has had
enough.”
Von Hindenberg, fine old fighting
general of the Hohenzollern days,
but a poor head for a German re
public, is running as the Hohenzol
lern candidate. The idea is that
he will keep “devotion to the kaiser
alive until the kaiser's grandson is
old enough to take the throne.”
Hindenberg requested the kaiser
to free him from his oath of loy
alty to the imperial flag that he
might run for president of the
German republic without perjuring
himself. He was freed, of course,
and is now running to keep the old
Hohenzollern throne warm for the
son of the crown prince.
If Von Hindenberg should he
elected president, which seems un
likely, conditions would change
Germany.
The German republic, like the
United States republic, is a democ
racy managed by industrial and
financial intelligence for the gen
eral welfare, and especially for in
dustrial and financial welfare.
Any effort to bring hack a grand
son of the ‘‘all highest” would
change conditions, perhaps dis
astrously.
The Hohenzollerns well know
that there is no hope for the former
kaiser or his son, both of them hav
ing been so conspicuous in the los
ing of the war, neither of them
having got a scratch in the process.
Just why a grandson should be
better than the former kaiser him
self is hard to understand.
