An able and forceful writer, he | was a keen student of national as well as lmprnnnunal“ affairs and his editorfal writing were always directed | toward furthering the interests of this country and the promotion of peace. Robert Underwood Johnson at | While he was associate editor of the Century, Dr. Johnson was intrusted, in association with Clarence Clough Buel, with the conduct of the Century war series. They were published in the magazine and later in four volumes, “Battles and Leaders of the Civil War.” It was said that work added 100,000 sub- scribers to the magazine and netted more than $1,000,- 000. General Grant was one of the contributors and it was at the urgent suggeéstion of Dr. Johnson that the general determined to write his book, “Personal Memoirs.” Aside from his duties as editor, Dr. Johnson con- fined his literary work chiefly to editorial and critical articles and verse. His complete work in verse from 1881 to 1919 was published in the: latter year under the title “Collected Poems.” Volumes of his work ap- peared periodically between those years. Among some ms better known poems are: “Praise to Thee, O God of Freedom;” “Apostrophe to Greece;" he Voice of Webster; Hands Across the Sea;” “Italian Rhapsody;” Panama ode, “Goethals of Panama;” “The Corridors of Congress;” and many "F(}eln& of the Great War,” including “Rheims” and “The Haunting Face,” depicting the portrait of a child lost on the Lusitania. His war poéms all re- flected his strong anti-Teutonic sentiments. One of his achievements in connection with litera- ture of which Dr. Johnson was proud and satisfied was the enactment in 1891 of the international copy- right bill. He had been active in the movement to bring that about since 1883 and his services were widely recognized. The . French government made him a chevalfer of the Legion of Honor; the late King Hum- bert of Italy conferred upon him the cross of the Crown of Italy; Yale University made him an honor- ary master of arts, and he received pieces of silver plate from American publishers and the English Society of Authors. o | In his periodical writings, Dr. Johnson actively advocated the forest reservation system and a sci- entific national policy looking toward the preservation of public forests. While in California in 1889, he originated the project for the Yosemite National Park and the next year, in conjunction with John Muir, was instrumental in bringing about its creation. | The conference of governors at the White House in May, 1908, convened on the invitation of President| Theodore Roosevelt, had its origin in a suggestion in| letters to the president by Mr. Johnson in 1906, | ‘His sympathies strongly with the Allies from the outset of the World War, Dr. Johnson performed im-| portant service after the entry of the United States. In September, 1917, he organized and was chairman of the committee which conducted the work of the American Poets’ Ambulances in Italy. A ten-weeks’ campaign resulted in the raising of $176,000, which was invested in 112 ambulances and 37 field hospitals on the Piave front. Hé served as president of the New York committee of the Italian War Relief Fund of America, which raised nearly $200,000. The work of the committee was recognized by the bestowal of medals of the Italian Red Cross and the Grappa Army, a special medal of the former having been given to Dr. Johnson. In January, 1919, he was promoted from cavalier to commendatore of the Crown of Ttaly and in 1921 he was made a grand commander of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy “as a mark of personal es- teem and in recognitidn of work for good relations between Italy and the United States.” King Albert of Belgium made him an officer in the Order of Leo- pold in recognition of his friendship for Belgium, and King Alexander of Jugoslavia, while prince regent of Serbia, conferred upon him the Order of St. Sava France added another honor in 1922 when it raisedI him to the rank of grand officer of the Legion of Honor. | Since the foundation of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Dr. Johnson had been actively interested in it. He drafted the plan for its organi-| zation, became its secretary and in 1908 was elected | the 32nd member of the academy, succeeding to the chair of John Hay. From 1910 to 1919, Dr. Johnson was an elector | of the Hall of Fame of New York University, resign- | ing when he was chosen a director. The university | conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of letters and made him an honorary member of its senate. While in Rome in 1903 Dr. Johnson inaugu- rated the project, which was accomplished in 1907, to preserve the house of the poet Keats. It was ac- complished by subscriptions by Americans and Eng- lish, the place being turned into a Keats-Shelley memorial library. Dr. Johnson was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson as American ambassador to Rome in 1920 to succeed Thomas Nelson Page, who resigned. After assuming his duties he represented the United Sta as an unofficial observer at the San Remo conterencel of {Hollywood of Fascist government in Germany where government interpretat/un of religious teaching is forced upon the 'p«ople. it again portrays the fundamental soundness of our own government where religious freedom is guaranteed, and every individual can worship as he or she sees fit.

We can only quote Emerson who said “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” The Lawyer: F.D. R. (New York World-Telegram) The American Bar Assn. is meeting in Kansas City, and its president, Frederick H. Stinchfield, of Minneapolis, has started things off with a declara- tion of war on the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Stinchfield, to be sure, put it the other way around. “On very many occasions,” he said, “the President has expressed what seems to amount to a hatred of the legal profession. We must believe that this hatred arises out of the fact that the lawyers are the ones whom he finds the greatest difficulty in con- trolling.” Going on to appeal for nationwide public support of the profession in an “unequal” struggle which, he asserted, is impending “between the President and the lawyers of the United States,” Mr. Stinchfield charged that the President apparently is determined to destroy the Supreme Court. “But fi he added, “I believe he intends to disarm the lawyers who might speak in opposition. He will attempt to discredit them and take away their influence with the people. Now, if a struggle between the President and the lawyers is “unequal,” with the advantage on the Presi- dent’s side, we think that is not because of what Mr. Stinchfield calls the President’s “quite unbelievable powers.” It is because of the way that lawyers have Used their powers, which also are “quite unbelievable.” The President has his powers because he has the confidence of a majority of the people, even though they may not agree with all he says and does. The lawyers have their powers because lawyers write most of the laws, because lawyers argue the laws, and because lawyers on the bench interpret the la The President’s remarks on Constitution Day about “some” lawyers and their desire to “shrivel the Constitution into a lawyer’s contract” may have seemed to Mr. Stinchfield an expression of hatred for the legal profession. lot of the American people believe. We think, in short, that instead of accusing the President of intention to take away their influence with the people it might be well for the la s at Kansas City to undertake some self-analysis—even |as bankers, journalists and other leaders have done— to determine whether their profession, through the actions of outstanding individuals, has not been the chief contributor to the public’s distrust and suspicion of the bar. October, The Treasurer (Cincinnati Enquirer) October has little competition for the distinction of being the most beautiful month of the year. The riot of color it induces easily surpasses in beauty even the exquisite shading of spring, the soft whiteness ot snowy winter and the buxom coloring of nature in summer. Were it not for this autumn fancy dress, the fall would be a sadder season. Had not nature’s al- chemy provided for the eye_filling color which comes with the frost of fall, the autumn would seem indeed a drab season of death. There is, of course, another and equally beautiful symbolism to be found in October. It is the season of harvest, the month of an outpouring of the earth’s bounty. Thus tangibly as well as intangibly, October conditions mankind for the winter ahead, and com- pensates for the death of summer and the beginning of the barren months, Forty years ago, the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, celebrated Negro poet, distilled something of the symbolism of October in one of his verses in “Lyrics of Lowly Life.” Dunbar wrote: October is the treasurer of the year, And all the months pay bounty to her store; The fields and orchards still their tribute bear, And fill her brimming coffers more and more. But she, with youthful lavishness, Spengls all her wealth in gaudy dress, And decks herself in garments bold Of scarlet, purple, red, and gold. That October does don gaudy dress, to lend an air of celebration rather than dreariness to the end of the season for growing things, is just one of the many beneficences of nature that man so seldom notices, and often appreciates so little.
