MARY ANTIN TELLS OF THE FLAG Sidelights of Teachers9 Meeting as Picked Up at Headquarters At the close ot Mary Antln'a ad dress before the State Teachera' as sociation in Auditorium Thursday evening the audience arose with one accord and left the building, c.lmly Ignoring the fact that a learned professor from a great university waa waiting to deliver an address. President R. J. Barr rose to the occasion by announcing to the de parting crowd that the learned pro- dogen trlSt headed by Belle Ryan, who W. H. Morton In the course of his teach in career haa arrived tack' horn and is now teaching in Jefferson county, where ha was born In a sod htun thlrty-hre years ago. Ha Is superintendent of schools at ralrbury, where he succeeded A. U Cavlness. Superintendent A. U. Cavlness. who waa Dead of the schools at FeJrbury for many years. Is now head of the Kearney publlo schools. Cavlnes. while at Fair bury, had the reputation of selecting about the finest corps of teachers of any school of the else In the state. It was considered quite an honor to be selected as a teacher by Mr. Cavlnesa, "Who's running for officer That Is the question many of the teachers ask when they enroll and are handed a bal lot to cast their primary vote. The half feasor's addresa would be delivered at the Friday morning session. It wasn't the first time in the evening that President Barr found himself confronted with the unex pected. Just two hours before' this he had been locked for an hour in a balky elevator at the Rome hotel. He was descending to the main floor in the car with nineteen school ma'ams and Prof. Luckey of the State university. He was In a hurry to get to the Auditorium, where he was to preside at the meeting. The car came to a gentle but firm stop Just between the first and second floors, and it refused to move an inch In either direction. Came then various workmen with sturdy and divers tools and worked and argued. Meanwhile time was flying at Its usual speed. When the car still continued to be obstinate, word was passed from the imprisoned president to some of those at liberty, and Superintendent E. U. Oraff hurried to the Auditorium and announced solemnly that the president waa "un avoidably detained" but would doubtleaa arrive In time to preside over part of the meeting. The car moved In time for President Barr to introduce Mary Ahtln, the prin cipal speaker of the evening. Her address, on "The Responsibility of American Citizenship," was filled with fire and earnestness. It was a clarion call for a dally living of liberty as a sacred obligation and privilege. Meaning; of the Flair. "Liberty Is not something that was accomplished some time ago when men signed a declaration and died for It," she said. "It is present, personal. Inti mate. The flag le not a memorial, but a challenge to high and noble- living." ehe referred much by way ot Illustra tion to her own upbringing In a strictly orthodox Jewish family. In' "Which obedience to the Mosaic law was put be fore all else. Such obedience to the fundamental law of America, she de clared, must be the badge of every true .American. Ebe told of a certain rabbt before Christ who summed up the whole law, in this: "What Is hateful do not to thy fellowman." All other laws are but commentaries. The whole law of America, she said, Is this: "All men are created equal, with equal rights to Ufa, liberty and' the pur suit of happiness." All other laws are but commentaries on this. Obedience to Ubertr. As to the orthodox Jew obedience to the law. In letter and spirit, to -made Im portant above all other things, so, she declared, obedience to the spirit of lib erty must be lived up to by all' good Americans. "Teach It to your children In the nnp. eery," she said. "It should be so that the man who Is) false to his citlsenshlp, the man who refuses to go to the polls and vote would be pointed out with the finger of scorn upon the street. For it Is the business of every American not only to be a good citizen, but to be a thorn in the flesh of every bad dtlaen. The splendid music of the evening was by the Omaha Chamber Mualo society, with the Omaha Ladles' chorus, led by Prof. Henry Cox. Seven Omaha Indian tribal melodies, rendered by the orches tra, were espeolally applauded. The first speaker of the evening was Dr. Paul Shorey of the University of ChV cago, whose address on "The Things that Are More Excellent" was) a plea for classical learning and erudition in all lines. What tiAvr-Brow Heau. "The development of the 'low-brow Ideal," he said, "means more chewing gum, choclate sundaes, moving pictures, obscene post cards, expectoration and the installation of a Rev. William Sunday In every pulpit In the country." He mourned the "extirpation of cul ture," the "'self-complacent contentment with superficial mediocrity" and the "sur vival of idiosyncratic superficiality." Yet he found hope that the more ex cedent things cannot be lost In Arnold's declaration that 'the good gorilla, our hairy ancestor, carried In the convolu tions of his brain latent need even for Oreelc." "Not all the heirs of predatory wealth are burning money on the Oreat White Way." he said. "Some of them, as I happen to know, are writing monagraphs on Aristotle.. And the illiterate millionaire. traveling In Europe, find his brain stirred by something, becomes an art col lector and finally endows an art last! tute." are handling ths work ot registration, are exceedingly mum on the subject, for they are not supposed to suggest candi dates to the Incoming teachers. That would be electioneering, or "Wngtng" for someone. So when a teacher, all bundled In furs and muff, swished p and asked. 'Who'se running for president! Miss Helen Weeks at the end of the table said meekly. ' don't know." "Well, you can at least tell me one or two of the candidates, can't you?" per sisted the teacher. "No, I don't know," meekly complained Miss Weeks. "Well." exclaimed the teacher, with a saucy swish of her fur, "it I had been sitting at that table all day, I'd know something. Principal Vernon G. Maya of Lincoln, and Superintendent E. U. Oceff of Omaha, are lonesome on the executive committee of the association. It hap pens that most of the others have left the state. O. M. Barr of Hastings has gone to Milwaukee. Frank R. Blera of David City is gone. Charles Arnot. for merly superintendent of Schuyler school, haa abandoned school work and Is now In the banking business at Fremont. O. vv. Nell is teaching at Stevens Point. Wis. This exceptional desertion of the state and the profession by members of the executive committee haa left the ranks ot that committee thin. They will be bol stered up SatuWay morning for the count ing of ballots by a corps et girls who will be employed to aid In this work. by massive walls of masonry and brick five feet thick. In the dim light of a candle the weird lattice work of Interlacing bars of steel which form the sixteen cells, each ten by twenty feet, may be vaguely seen. Around the Inner cage leads a narrow corridor, where the custodian of the vault may make his rounds of Inspection. Upon transverse central corridor the oells open. Caen floor is imea wim an in genius device for fastening, which will not catch until the door Is entirely shut and the key removed. Each of these cells will hold S,600,000, or too tons of silver dollars, or a grand total of 8,5"0 net tons, equal to 100,000,000 silver dollars. If the corridors were used for storage this aggregate oould be Increased to $128,000,000. Some practical Idea of the extent of this treasure may be formed when It Is realised that to transport It would re quire at least 1.800 wagons, which would extend In a continuous line about fifteen miles or. If loaded on cars, would make a train nearly four miles long. St Louis Globe-Democrat Isle of Man Is Hard Hit by the Big War (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) LONDON, Oct. . No part of the United Kingdom has been so hard hit by the war as the Isle of Man, which Is now on the verge ot bankruptcy be cause the Imperial treasury Insists on the wiping out of the deficit of $120,000 before it will sanction the relief ot dis tress. Where the money is to com from is a problem, as the proposed remedy of higher duties and taxes will fall short of requirements. The Island might swal low Its pride and annex Itself to the neighboring country ot Lancaster, but tradition and sentiment revolt at the idea. Although Man Is only thirty-two by twelve miles. Its political constitution Is said to be the oldest In Europe, its language, a gaello dlaleot, la peculiar to the island and home rule haa been the privilege ot the Manxman through the ages. When the war came the heavy tourist and holiday trad waa cut off. The wtft packet boats were taken over by the admiralty and the submarine menace mad travel unpopular. Man then be euM a concentration camp of alien ene mies, who now number SO, 000, or less than three time Its total native popula tion. Thea camp helped to save the situation for the island farmers, al though a poor substitute for ths flood of tourists who used to com. It la now proposed that the government use the hotels and lodging houses, whose owners are In great distress, as hospitals for convalescent soldiers. One of the relief measures proposed by the Manx parlia ment which the Imperial treasury re fuses to endorse, la a grant of $360,000 to distressed boarding house keepers.
