Comedy—
“JOHNNY'S
WEEK END”
Nathan Straus goes to his grave in
a plain pine box. with no eulogy at
the funeral exercises and no pomp at
the grave. It was so that the old
man wished to go. Even the act of
dying itself could not have been or-
dered more to his liking, probably,
for, though he had been ill for some
two weeks, the actual passing came
to him in sleep, which, after all, is
but the ante-chamber of death.
In the thought of the country this
Jew, born in a foreign land, come to
wealth and influence through a life
of usefulness and industry, «nd now
gathered to the bosom of Abraham
as an old man, needs no catafalque
or ceremony. His deeds praise him
and his generosities give tongues
more eloquent than any oratory of
i man.
To him tnore than to any one Am-
erican, perhaps, .we owe the preval-
ence of pasteurization of. milk, by
which the lives of many thousands of
city babies have been preserved. It
cost old Nathan Straus- and his wife
a price to come to. that great service,
for they looked upon the death >of a
little child on shipboard for the want
of proper nourishment for it. In
that hour of distress was born his
determination to do something about
it, and he did.
There is no room to list the things
that this man has done to repay Am-
erica for the citizenship which he
wore with pride and with worthiness.
But it is a long and honorable cata-
logue. America can surely afford to
uncover as the plain pine box goes
by. For surely this Jewish immi-
grant of long, long years gone is by
now an immigrant in a new and bet-
ter land. And there, also, he will
both find and make friends.—Dallas
