STUCK BLEVATOR | CAR STOPS SESSION President Barr and Nineteen School ma'ams in Oage Between Hotel loors as Meeting Waits, MARY ANTIN TELLS OF THE FLAG At the close of Mary Antin' dress before the State Teachert sociation in Auditorium ThnndlyL evening the audlence arose with one accord and left the building, calmly | fgnoring the fact that a learned professor from a great university was waiting to deliver an address. President R. J. Barr rose to the | occasion by announcing to the de- parting crowd that the learned pro-' fessor's address would be delivered | at the Friday morning session. It wasn't the first {ime 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 ite 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. Graff | hurried to the Auditorium and announced eolemnly that the president was ‘‘un- avoldably detained” but would doubtless arrive in time to preside over part of the meeting. The car moved in time for President Barr to Introduce Mary Antin, the prin- clpal 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 & eacred obligation ana privilege. Meaning of the Flag. “Liberty is not something that was accomplished some time ago when men slgned a declaration and died for it” £he sald. “It is present, personal, Inti- mate, The flag s not a memorial, but a challenge to high and noble living."” €he referred much by way of {llustra- 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. She told of a certain rabbi 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 sald, is ad- | five feet thick. this: ‘“All men are created equal, with equal rights to life, liberty and' the pur- #uit of happiness.'" All other laws are but commentaries on this. Obedience o Liberty. As to the orthodox Jew obediance to the law, in letter and spirit, is .made im- portant above all other things, so, she declared, obedience to the spirit of 1ib- erty must be lived up to by all good Americans. “Teach it to your children in the nur- sery,” she sald. "It should be so that the man who is false to his citizenship, 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 citisen.” The splendid music of the evening was by the Omaha Chamber Musfo society. with the Omaha Ladles' chorus, led by Prof. Henry Cox. Seven Omaha Indian tribal melodies, rendered by the orches- tra, were especially applauded. The first speaker of the evening was Dr. Paul Shorey of the University of Chi~ cago, whose address on ‘“The Things that Are More Excellent” was a plea for classical learning and erudition in all lines. What Low-B Me: “The development of the ‘low-hrow’ ideal,” he sald, “means more chewing gum, choclate sundaes, moving picturea, obscene post cards, expectoration and the installation of a Rev. Willlam Sunday in every pulpit in the country.” He mourned the ‘“extirpation of eul- ture,” the ‘“self-complacent contentment with superfical mediocrity” and the “sur- vival of idiosyncratic superficiality.” Yet he found hope that the more ex- cellent things cannot be lost i Arnold's declaration that “the good gorilla, our hairy ancestor, carried in the comwolu- tions of his brain latent need even for Greek."” “Not all the heirs of predatory wealth are burning money on the Great White Way," he sald. “Some of them, as I happen to know, are writing monagraphs on Aristotle.. And the illiterate millionaire, traveling in Burope, finds brain stirred by something, becomes an art col- lector and finally endows an art insti- tute.” WHERE MILLIONS ARE STORED A Look Imte the ter Vault Which Holds Govern- ment's Surplus. “Young man,” sald a United States sen- ator to a clerk In Washington, who was talking about retiring when he made a million dollars, ‘“a milllon dollars is a heap of money But a million is a trifle to Uncle Sam, Sidelights of Teachers’ Meeting as Picked Up at Headquartcrs| W.

Isle of Man Is Hard Hit by the Big War (Correspondence of The Associated Preas.) LONDON, Oct. 21.—-No part of the United Kingdom ha. is now on the verge of bankruptcy be- cause the imperial treasury insists on the wiping out of the deficit of $120,000 before it will sanction the rellef of dis- of requirements. The island might swal- low its pride and annex ftself to the neighboring country of Lancaster, but tradition and sentiment revoit at ides. Although Man is only thirty-two by twelve miles, its political constitution is sald to be the oldest In Burope, ita language, a gaelic dialect, is peculiar to the island and home rule has been the privilege of the Manxman through the ages, ‘When the war came the heavy tourist and holiday trede was cut off. The swift packet boats were taken over by the admiralty and the submarine mehace made travel unpopular. Man then be- came a concentration camp of allen ene- mies, who now number 20,000, or less than three times its total native popula- tion. These camps helped to save the situation for the island farmers, al- though a poor substitute for the flood of tourists who used to come. It is mow proposed that the government use the hotels and lodging houses, whose owners are in great distre: as hospitals for convalescent soldiers. One of the rellef measures proposed by the Manx parlia- ment which the imperial treasury re- fuses to endorse, is a grant of $260,000 to distressed boarding house keepers.
