Undertaking cups: Two-thirds Of all the
so called art of Europe consists of pic
lures that are both denial!c and IN

that never occurred or to preserve our
reverence for ideas which the human
mind no longer seriously entertained.
American art must be the embodiment
of American ideals and not the retiex of
medieval ideals which no longer COM
mand the sincere respect of even the
European mind. The art of Europe is as
crude in its way is that of America, be-
cause it does not relate to ideas that are
now or ever again a be potential over
the human mind.

Congress-Presidentiai Possibilities

Hon. W. c. Patterson, president of the
chamber of commerce, returned yesterday
from Washington, where he had been for
almost four weeks with the other members
of the committee representing the city of
Los Angeles and the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce to present the harbor PROPOSE
ton to congress.
According to statements that have been
made, Col. Harrison Gray Otis started
in advance of the committee on the east
ward pilgrimage. The object stated was
to advance the interests Of the port of San
Pedro.
1t was fact universally admitted before
the delegation departed that in 30 far as
the performance of any effective work on
the part of Colonel Otis was concerned it
would not be looked for. Later develop.
ments proved the correctness of this. In
talking about his eastern trip. Mr.. Patter-
son said:
In company with w. D. Woolwine and
W. G. Kerchoff left Los Angeles almost
four weeks ago. Col. H. G. Otis started
before we did and stopped off at Chicago
for banquet. Later Colonel Otis joined
US in Washington.

had other connections and ASSOCIATIONS
which called for his attention.
We were finally given hearing before
the house committee on rivers and harbors.
We were received most courteously and
given the closest attention. The reason of
1t was that we had our statement with re-
gard to San Pedro harbor condensed into
the fewest words it was possible to express
them in. We had learned that it was ad-
visable to do this several days before the
time arrived to present our case to the
committee. The statements made to the
committee by Messrs. Woolwine, kerchoff,
Otis and myself were received with close
attention and very courteously. AT the
conclusion Chairman Hooker of the
rivers and harbcrs committee ex-
tended to our members his con.
Rratuations on the mastery
presentation they had made. Senator
White made an address TO the committee
that was a splendid effort in behalf of San
Pedro. He talked as nobody but him
self has the power to talk. he was fol-
lowed by Senator Perkins in an address of
a similar character. 1t was made plainly
evident to all of us that Southern CaIifor-
mia had one friend present on the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors, and that man
was Binger Hermann of Oregon.
After the adjournment of the committee
sonally. One and all, they assured us that
in Mr.. Hermann we had friend upon
whom we could rely.
Mr.. huntington. of the Southern Pacific
was present during greater time of the
presentation of the effort on behalf of San
Pedro harbor, before the committee on
rivers and harbors. He had nothing to
say.
From what | have been told and from
what has been said feel that the interests
of the Pacific coast will not suffer at the
hands OF this congress. although have
been assured by Mr.. Reed, the speaker,
that policy of economy has beeh formu-
lated. If this is the case he has, of course,
built all of his committees along that line.
Hermann of Oregon is one of the strong
men OF the house. He is man who has
had the benefit of experience and others
look up to him.

Strange as it may seem, they are not
talking about anybody for vice president in
the east. said Mr.. Patterson.
