To Meet in Near Future
Art Museum to Present
Noted English Lecturer
H. S. Ede, noted English author and lecturer on art, will be
presented by the Denver art museum, under the auspices of the
Cooke-Daniels Foundation, on
Monday evening, July 6, at 8:15
o'clock. This is an illustrated lecture and will be free to the pub
lie, in the main gallery of Chap
pell House, 1300 Logan st. The
subject of Mr. Ede's lecture will
be "The National Gallery in
Washington."
The National Gallery was built
and given to the nation by Andrew W. Mellon for the purpose
of housing his own fine collection of paintings and sculpture.
It includes, the most impressive
names in the entire hi«tcry'of
painting. Later, the Samuel H.
Kress collection was added, which
is devoted entirely to Italian art.
These two collections rank in
quality and range with the ten
leading galleries in Europe. The
museum, together with Mf. Mel-
Ion's collection and endowment,
forms the largest gift made by
any citizen to any government in
modern times, and it was Mr.
Mellon's expressed wish that in
time others would donate great
works of art as a lasting contribution for the benefit of the public.
The main gallery at Chappell
House, in which Mr. Ede's lecture will be given, should be of
especial interest to those who
like to keep in touch with the current trend in art. At this time
the forty-eighth annual exhibition of the Denver art museum
is hung at Chappell House. This
exhibition includes work by artists from all parts of the country,
with strong representation from
the Rocky Mountain region.
Japs Inspect Malaya Ruins
One hundred and sixty-six
years ago a thirty-three year old
man wrote a document which
was destined to become immortal in the history of man's
ascent toward perfection in self-
government—the Declaration of
independence.
Inspired by his own convictions
and the influence of some of his
most brilliant contemporaries,
young Jefferson set down in his
vigorous style the spirit of a
people who refused oppression
and sought freedom.
The nation that was built on
that early foundation is now
locked in combat with pirates
of grandiose and ruthless ambitions, who can see nothing better
for the edifice of Freedom than
its total demolition. Blinded by
their plundering greed, they
have undertaken a dastardly program to tear it down, brick by
brick.
But they fail to realize that
this tower of democracy is an
everlasting building that cannot
be torn down. The storms of the
years have not crumbled its foundations or marred its beauty.
Every stone in its walls is colored
with the valor of patriots.
Some bear the speckled imprint of blood and snow at Valley
Forge. Some are washed by the
waters of Lake Erie stirred up
by Perry. Some are as rough-
edged and rugged as the pioneers
who built-the" West, while others
glitter with- the polish of the
East. A few bear the fingerprints
of black men in bondage, and
another row is stained by the
tears of the man who liberated
them. More are marked by the
struggle for Liberty on foreign
| soil in 1917 and 1918.
The splendid structure of this
j democracy is patterned by the
I statesmen and inventors, the
I philosophers and researchers. It
is buttressed by the tradesmen
! and merchants, the farmers and
I industrialists, the professionals
| and public servants, the work-
| men and armed forces.
No plunderer can tear down
this mansion of freedom and
democracy, for the impregnable
bricks that make its walls are
cemented together by the mortar
of unified loyalty, which will
hold it against all who would try
to reduce it to the rubbish heap.
On Independence Day, 1776,
Jefferson contended that "all
men are endowed by their creator with inherent and inalienable
rights . . ." On Independence Day,
19:2, we are fighting a vast, final
conflict to prove it to the universe.
Calls for meetings of the congressional assemblies are expected to be announced soon. State
Chairman Byron Rogers of the
Democratic party last week
urged that the congressional assemblies, as far as possible, be
held upon a separate day aside
from the state assembly. Congressional comittees, under the
party rules, are required to meet
on the third Monday in June to
set the date for the congressional
assembly.

rick, the Gus Centers and the

With the western locale and the
food al fresco as a backdrop, Dr.

of mining ballads and songs of
the west; also some live talent
in the person of a singing cowboy
with a guitar.
Dr. Edward Davison, director
of the Writers' conference at
Boulder, will announce the winner of the poetry contest for a
scholarship award to the conference. Dr. Davison has set aside
July 28 as Poetry day at the conference. This will include a poetry session at 4 <p. m., led by
Witter Bynner, and at 8 p. m., in
the University theater, a poetry
recital by Richard Aldington,
Carl Carmer, Witter Bynner, Edward Davison, Charles Edward
Eaton and Thomas Hornsby Fer-
ril.
