Louis Brandeis' Scheme.

A little group of New England financiers

have Uncle Sam tied up in a sack and are gouging the "innards" out of the old gentleman. Their sack is monopoly and their prod is the control of

credit. And what the limit ol their extortion is

going to be no man can tell.

This is the substance of a number of very excellent articles written by Louis Brandeis and

published in Harper's Weekly during the past two months. Seldom have the powers of analysis

been more ably used than in this study.

But now in the current number Mr. Brandeis offers his remedy for the whole matter and that remedy consists in "Opposing to the great trusts a world-wide co-operative alliance which shall

become so powerful as to crush the trusts."

This comes to us as an anti-climax after the magnificent analysis of the situation made in the preceding articles. Surely, it seems preposterous to suppose that a co-operation of consumers, however many may be persuaded to join the movement, would be adequate to overthrow the money oligarchy, as described by him which now rules two-thirds of the credit of the nation. Suppose one hundred unarmed men to be imprisoned on an island. Except for a small plot the island is bleak and sterile. This small plot is controlled by one man, a monopolist, and he has ten armed men to hold at bay the hundred unarmed men. He has control of all the sources of existence and doles out to the unfortunate hundred such food, clothing and fuel as he deems fit. They have to accept whether or no because they have no other recourse. Now it is manifest that the real root of their difficulty lies in this, that they are slaves and cut off from the sources of existence. But it happens that the supposed monopolist throws out their food to them in irregular chunks and at uncertain times. Because of this the men fiht and scramble like dogs and oftentimes some get more than they need and others get nothing. Observing this situation Mr. Brandeis in their midst rises up and says, "Come, let us terminate this inequality. Let us unite, organize ourselves, and receive our supplies in unity and in order." That would be an improvement over the old conditions but and here is the crucial consideration which must be firmly grasped the increased convenience brought about by this co-operation does not give to the hundred men the control of the sources of their existence. In other words it leaves them in precisely the same situation as before and merely relieves them of some of the minor inconveniences of their condition. We are on that same island, according to Mr. Brandeis' arguments. The sources of our existence lie in the hands of a very small group. They are the masters of life and dole us out our supplies according to their own interests rather than our needs. If Mr. Brandeis is right, the root of 'dl our present economic troubles lies in that, that they control the supplies on which our existence depends. Now what will it avail us according to this situation as described by him, to have a Brandeis come along and ask us to co-operate to ease up the conditions under which we are permitted to receive our supplies? It will merely leave us where we were before, so far as the fundamental conditions are concerned. Monopolists would still be monopolists. And whether we have hard times or good times, plenty of food or a lack of food, sufficient clothing or insufficient clothing, matters not so long as the small group of monopolists have control. The Brandeis plan will make minor conditions easier but it won't disturb the root out of which social injustice springs according to his own interpretation.

the orthodox, "does this man dare to suppose there is anything beautiful in a man and his wife digging potatoes or in a girl walking in a

harvest field!" But the man did believe there

was beauty in such things and went on painting

until the genre school was launched and the real

world of human life entered the sphere of art.

Since then art has spread over the world in

ever expanding circles bringing more and more

of the "common and the cheap" under its thrall.

And the end is not yet.

Along comes Constantin Meunier with his

sculpture and brings still a new sphere into the

sanctuary of the beautiful. Belgian by birth and habit he has thrown himself heart and soul into the industrial development of that country. Its foundries, its mills and shops, its dump piles and coal mines, its railways and foundries, these things have become his daily companions and the materials of his dreams. He has made sculptured masterpieces of a foundryman, of a miner dead from an explosion,

of a mis-shapen laborer with his mattox in his hands and of human beings in every phase of the travail of toil. This means that art has taken possession of the great world of toilers. And what that means to toil no man can predict. For one thing it means that toil and the world of toil is beginning to find itself and become consciously expressive. No longer does the sweating laborer work blindly and dumbly as a horse on a mill; he can look up at Meunier's

statues and say, "There am I." More than that, Meunier has revealed the social meaning of toil and depicted with rare success the social side of it. The laborer not only can say, "There am I," but also, "There is what I mean to my fellow men and how I appear to my fellow men." In making the longings and the dumb yearnings of unskilled toil vocal and embodied, the sculptor has fulfilled one of the highest functions of art. No form of labor is tolerable to us unless it has a meaning to us and we are able to say, "It is in such and such a way that the work we are doing links up with the world's work and helps along the great world process." With such a meaning understood any toil becomes significant and full of value; it ceases to be mere drudgery and becomes significant and full of value; it ceases to be mere toil and becomes intelligent production.

If one is carried along in a mob against his will and walks ignorant of where he goes or without any place to go each step counts for nothing and becomes a burden; but as a man walks in a crowd making for a goal and he can look ahead and say, "There! That is where we are going," every step takes him somewhere and the old sense of aimlessness is lifted. It is this which Meunier has done for the toiler. He has lifted up his statues before the laborers of Europe and said, "There is what you are. It is to become such men that you are now moving. This is the meaning of your toil and the destinations of it." In causing men and women to stop and take a thought about themselves and the ultimate meaning of what they are doing the artist performs one of the noblest functions of life. It is because Constantin Meunier is doing that that he has been hailed as Rodin's peer and one of the prophets of his day.

Library Notes

Two books furnish themes for popular amusement this week 'The Win nlng of Barbara Worth" and "David Copperfleld." The latter appeared as a morlng picture. It was well acted in beautiful settings, said to be the actual ones of the book Canterbury, Dover, London. Yarmouth, etc. What particularly struck one, was the sadness of the story as shown In the pictures. And it occurred to us that that was the way of life. If the leading evnts of one's life, were thrown upon the canvas, as were those from Dicken's wonderful story, perhaps It would seem sad, too. But fortunately there is a network of minor happenings which culUvates our lives and makes them often quite tolerable. So it is well worth the while of the young person, who thinks he now knows the Btory of David Copperfleld, to get the book and read it, for the sake of the very humorous incidents which join the life drama of the hero. Traddles did not appear in the picture and no one can imagine from them how amusing Barkis and Peggo-

ty were or Mr. Micawber and Mr. Dick. It seems a pity that all the good old novels cannot be bound in bright red and palmed oft as "best sellers." Can't we change a berry and forget and re-read them rather than sigh for a new one, some flimsy up-to-date affair, not half so good? What detective story is better than "The Woman in White?"

Or what modern novel more sensational than Jane Eyre? Or what society sketch more amusing than "Pride and Prejudice?" Then there is Thackeray's "Newcomes" and "Vanity Fair," and Dickens' Picknick Papers and Trollope'a "Warden" and "Chronicles of Basset," and Blackmore's "Lorna Doone." And coming down later are the novels of William Black and Miss Mulock and those of our American authors "Holmes," "Elsie Vennor," and Cable's "Creole Tales," and the Tennessee Mountain Sketches of . Craddock. Have you read Stinrte's "Buchholz Family," and Daudet's "Adventures of Tartarin Tarascon?'" It seems there are far better books upon the shelves of the library forgotten and unread than many of the newer ones, which are asked for daily and which cause so much disappointment for being "alwayB out." The "Outlook" for January 17, contains an article on "The Dalcroze Idea," that is, the physical expression of music the translation of varied rhythms of music into corresponding bodily movements. It is interesting in connection with the Musical club program at the High School auditorium last Saturday. Seventeen pupils from the Lynn High School, with their teacher, spent Friday in the reference rooms of the

library gathering material lor their graduating essays.

Considerable Portion of Democrats Now After Scalps of Gray Brothers

This Is a winter of worry for the

Gray brothers. Congressman flnly and Judge George. A considerable portion of Sixth District Democracy has taken

the warpath for the scalp of the former, and now Democrats In the judicial district of Fayette, Franklin and Unioa counties are offering objections to the renomination of Brother Oeorge. One of the staunchest Democratic organs in the Sixth district, the Liberty Express, with fiendish whoops is demanding the political sacrifice of Judge Gray. The Express avers that Judge Gray hand picked the Franklin and Fayette

delegates to the conventions in those counties and is now playing the same high handed game in Union. Apparently Judge Gray's chief lieutenant in Union county is one of Brother Finly's chief lieutenants, A. T. Serling, postmaster elect of Liberty. The county central committee of Union, with the exception of Chairman J. D. Leech, was ignored, the Express asserts, in issuing the convention call. Judge Makes Slate. Says the Express: "It appears on the face of the whole affair that Judge Gray was 'the man behind the gun' who fixed It. The judge is known to be up to these things. He 'made' the call in Franklin; 'made' the slate in Fayette, and railroaded the thins through. The Express also takes a sly potshot

THE CALL

Meunier : A New Development in Art. Art, like everything else in this world, has a history. And like everything else, its history is still in the make. In its first day of burgeoning art occupied itself with the lands beyond this world and produced saints and gods and godesses. A majority of the masterpieces of that day embodied subjects in man's world of dreams, and were as far removed from the brute concrete world in which men and women lived as anything possibly could be. But after a while art slowly began to domesticate itself on this planet and we find the painters turning to aristocracy and the subjects of interest to aristocracy. Lords and ladies, castles and cathedrals, brie a brae and luxury, these were the things that then demanded and monopolized the genius of the artists. In 1849 Jean Francois Millet went to live in Barbizon along the edge of the forests of Fontainebleu. Millet was a prophet of a new order of things in art and began to scandalize the salons by exhibitions of pictures depicting common, every day life. "What is this," exclaimed

Woman called to woman at the daybreak! When the bosom of the deep was stirred, In the gold of dawn and in the silence, Woman called to woman and was heard: Steadfast as the dawning of the polestar, Secret as the fading of the breath; At the gate of birth we stood together, Still together at the gate of Death. Queen or slave or bond or free, we battled, Partered not our faith for love or gold; Man we served, but in the hour of anguish Woman called to woman as of old. Hidden at the heart of earth we waited, Watchful, patient, silent, secret, true; All the terrors of the chains that bound us Man has seen, but only woman knew! Woman knew! Vna, still and woman knoweth! Thick the shadows of our prison lay Vet that knowledge in our hearts we treasure Till the dawning of the perfect day.

at Finly in the following paragraph: "One of these days the people will come to themselves and will not only defeat this man but will also put an end to the political aspirations of the men who are assisting him in playing his game. The 'you help me and I will help you" political alliance between the two brothers is well known here" Judge Gray has been fighting back at the Express through his personal organ, the Connersville Examiner. The judge has charged that the Express is dominated by its Republican interests, to which the Express has re

plied editorially: Sidesteps Issue. Judge Gray is sidestepping the is

sue of his inefficiency as a Judge by endeavoring to discredit the stand taken by the Express. We contend that he is inefficient and unfit to be a Judge of the Circuit Court and we have sufficient evidence to back our statement which will be rather surprising to some of Judge Gray's supporters when all of the facts are given. "Judge Cray claims to have the solid delegations from Franklin and Fayette counties, and from the fact that he selected them they surely ought to be Gray men. but we learn hat some of them are kicking over the traces. He also has made the claim of the Union county delegation, but as yet they have not been appointed."

activity, and will hold meetings each night. If possible well known speakers will be secured to talk.

At a meeting of the Freshman class held Monday noon, it was decided that in response to the invitation of the Seniors to furnish a cut of the class for publication in the Senior annual a picture would be made at the earliest opportunity. A picture of the Oratorical association was taken Monday noon on the steps of the library.

Gennett Theatre. "Stop Thief," the ohan and Harris comedy-farce which has been so universally sueessful, will begin an engagement at the Gennett next Saturday. 'Stop Thief 'amy be said to be an episode in the lives of three "crooks," or to be exact, of one real crook and two kleptomaniacs. For the professional thief is poor, while the amateur thieves are rich, which makes all the difference in the world. The action o fthe play takes place at the arr residence, Providence, R. I., and we are first introduced to a glimpse of the wedding preparations for the daughter of the house, a young lady of much grace and charm. It is then we learn, and it is known to the bride, too, that the head of the family is a kleptomaniac. It is discovered in the same breath, and this is not known to the bride, that the husband elect is afflicted in the same manner.

"The Winning of Barbara Worth."

Probably no offering of the current season can be regarded as being more pretentious than that of the Klaw and Krlanger production of "The Winning of of Barbara Worth',, a dramatic version by Mark Swan of the thrilling novel of Harold eBll Wright, which comes to the Gennett Thursday. When it was first decided to make the production more connected with the

effort to introduce it to the stage, it I was realized how large a par the des- - ert played in the story. Soon it was j seen that nothing short of a perfect reproduction of this, which has been poetically termed "The Hollow of ' God's Hand", would suffice. Thereafter the thought was not how little

would suffice, hut how elaborate and convincing could the settings be made.
