(Prom an Editorial on Edmund

Ono dos not magnify tho office
of tho literary or the musical pro
fession In maintaining that tho
death of Edmund 'SlarencoStedmnn
and five days later, 'that of Edward
MacDowell, constitute, each bv It
self, a natloual loss. Aside from
thoir creatlvo work, each gave to
Bacon's saying, "I Hold every man
a debtor to his profession." a more
than faithful, rather a knightly in
terpretation, and showed a dovoted
and serlpus settso of tho vnluo of Wb
art to tho higher development of his
country. Each was an exemplar of
tho artist who lives not for hlniBelf,
but for his craft, and while thero
nro many others, bred In tho samo
