THE SEVEN IMMORTALS ELECTED TO AMERICAN HALL OF
FAME
The "seven immortals" recently elected to the New York Uni
versity Hall of Fame are: Mark Twain, James Huchanan Kads, Pat
rick Henry, William Thomas Green Morton, Augustus Saint-Oaudens,
Roger Williams and Alice freeman Palmer.
A jury of ninety-six men and six women made the selection and
many of us wonder just what some of them did or stood for.
In order to have one's name so honored an individual must have
been an American, done something worth while and be dead at least
ten years. A successful candidate must receive at least fifty-one
votes out of a possible one hundred.
Just what did they do to merit this honor is answered as follows:
Mark Twain was a noted humorist and writer. He received sev
enty-one votes and in any popular election would have been success
ful. He is too well known in this section to need further comment.
James Buchanan Eads (1820-87) was an engineer, lie built bridges
and warships and cleared out the channel of the Mississippi. He be
gan as a clerk on a river steamboat and studied engineering by him
self so as to solve the problems of navigation on the "Mother of Riv
ers. He built the great steel arch bridge across the river at St
Louis and deepened the channel of the Mississippi as far north as the
Ohio and as iar south as the delta. He also built seven river gun
boats in 100 days at the beginning of the Civil war.
Patrick Henry was a patriot and roused the courage of men in
Rev bilionary times. In 17G5, in the Virginia house of burgesses, he
dei cA the right of the English to tax the colonists, and said: "Ceasar
had his Brutus, Charles I had his Cromwell and George III (here he
was interrupted by cries of 'Treason! Treason!') may profit by their
example. If this be treason, make the most of it." In 1775, in the
provincial convention, he said: "I know not what course others may
take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" He had fail
ed as a farmer, failed as a storekeeper, but was admitted to the bar
six weeks after he began to study law.
ilham Thomas Green Morton was a dentist who lived from
1819 to 1868 and discovered the anaesthetic properties of sulphuric
ether an invention that made dentistry much less painful and more
popular and abolished the old anaesthetics of alcohol and laudanum
and galvanic currents. Congress offered him $100,000 for his patent
which he refused. Oliver endell Holmes suggested the word
"anaesthesia."
Augustus Saint-Gaudens was America's most famous sculptor.
His statue of Lincoln was loaned to San Francisco by the city of
Chicago during the exposition in 1915 and wa.s placed at the east
entrance to the Fine Arts Palace. lie died in 1909.
Roger Williams was a reformer and the founder of the state of
Rhode Island 316 years ago. He denied the right of the Massachus
etts commonwealth to take the land of the Indians without paying
for it; questioned the right of civil magistrates to punish for viola
tions of the Sabbath laws; insisting that the power of the state ex
tended only to the bodies, goods and outward state of man and not
to his soul and conscience. Instead of persecuting the Quakers he
debated with them, establishing himself .as the father of fret speech
in America.
Mrs. Alic Freeman Talmer was an educator ami was presidenl
of Wellesley college for many years, having much to do with build
ing up of that institution for the education of women. She lived
from 1853 to 1902.
SHOULD SEEK SOLUTION FORESTRY PROBLEM
During the Roosevelt administration some effort was exerted to
stop the foolish and fearful waste of American forests, to conserve
the little timber which is left, and to induce reforestration as a gov-
rnmentai measure.
Then the nation's attention was distracted bv other thinss and
t forgot all about it. It is to be hoped that the incoming adminis
tration will take up the subject again and revive the nroceedines.
remaps tne lact that the scarcity of wood pulp has brought on
most exacting prices for newsprint paper, with attendant reduction
n the size ot newspapers and increase in price, mav avail to secure
i ummiuii iu movement, iu preserve our vanishing torests. As a
miuisuer, .mt. naming minseii is quite aware of the present exi
gency.
The virgin forests of the United States have si lriink from 822
000,000 acres to one-sixth that amount. We are crrnwinir loss than
one-fourth of our annual consumption. We have wasted incredibly
by burning and cutting over large areas so as to make them unproductive.
From this time on we ought as a nation to insist that for everv
stick of timber cut enough young trees should be planted to replace
the loss, if no more.

FORD GETS A NIBBLE
When Henry Ford established his Dearborn Independent the
press throughout the country gave him the silent treatment. He was
never credited or referred to, but his paper's articles recardine the
Jewish question finally got too warm for the newspapers of the coun
try and now ord is in the limelight. His paper will now be read
through the free advertising it is getting.
rso use talking, Henry knows how to handle the advertising
game to the queen s taste.

cause of the failure of the Farmers' National bank was a shorta nf

Now, that the federal officers have gathered up the $3,000,000
lost in the Omaha train robbery, they can devote their time to a mere
$400,000 theft in another section of the country. Nothing like keep

A CALL ON WILSON
The acceptance of President Wilson as mediator in the disputed
territory in and about Armenia, with the threats of the Turks and
Russians to forcibly acquire such boundaries as they desire, places in
the hands of the American president the greatest problem so far eon
fronting the League of Nations.
In his acceptance he has insisted that the Allied powers be ready
to help. This is a timely precaution, as without such assurance the
ruling of the president would be but passing chaff in the eyes of the
Turk and the Russians. With the co-operation of the assembled
powers at the league's session that -which President Wilson dictates
as territorial division will stand.
It somes to Wilson to once more stand in the light of the greatest
civilization. This will undoubtedly be a thorne in the side of those
who personally opposed him, but his selection as the man of the hour
marks history, while the smaller fry are overlooked.
It must be admitted by those who are politically opposed to
Woodrow Wilson that the foreign world looks to him as the master
mind. The great nations in session selected the one man they be
lieved to be equal to the great emergency.
As mediator of this dispute his work will stand as have his other
great undertakings.

A GOOD RECORD
The report of the federal bureau on the conditions of business
of the western states, wherein Nevada is reported as the only one of
twelve states that did not have a business failure during the month
of November, makes a record that other sections will envy.
Nevada may be down in the tail-end of population, but those
who have stuck with the ship have manned it well. Such a record
in a business line, when things are going to pot in other sections of
the Union, is one worth maintaining.
The Nevada merchant has dealt with the people he knows, his
line of credit is well established and there is just so much business
to be done in each community. With home buying and proper as
sistance to our business men there should be no great number of fail
ures to blacken the score of Nevada.
