"THE TARIFF ON ART WORKS

IF we had our way" says contem-
porary, 1--WE would take the tax col
lected from the importation of rare
| pictures and works of art and build
with it national art school in some
center like Washington, and offer
prizes for the best productions that
could be made in our country, In that
way, instead of having all our would
be artists go to Europe, we would
bring the finest artists in Europe over
here, and do with art the same as has
already been done with -plate-not
only cease to be importers, but go to
exporting
The idea behind that is more gener-
Gus than practical. When this national
art school was established there would
as surely go up a cry against allowing
the pauper artists of Europe to come
here to compete with our native talent
as has the cry against foreign compe-
tition in anything else. A few years
ago the leader of one of the greatest
orchestras in the country wanted to en-
gage a foreign musician who was with
out an equal as a master of the oboe
that was the instrument, if we re-
member rightly, and the musicians
union of New York was up in arms
against.the proposition. The union IN
sisted that the native talent must be
used or none at all. AS yet the artists
have displayed no such spirit, but es-
tablish a national art school in WASH
ington, that hot bed Of protection, and
the school would soon become perme-
ated with the idea that its students
and their productions must be pro-
tected.
Our contemporary is an ardent advo-
cate of the doctrine of reciprocity.
What is the admission, free Of duty,
of works of art but reciprocity? Go to
the great art centers of Europe-Paris.
Rome. Munich, Berlin-and you will
find the government schools of fine art
filed with American students who are
enjoying the same privileges as their
own students. IF American art stu
dents are allowed all the benefits of the
art schools of Europe free, should not
European artists have the same privi-
lege of sending their productions TO this
country without having any duty i'm
POSED upon them at the port of entry?
Let the European art schools shut their
doors against American students, as
has been threatened in the past be-
cause of the hostility of cur tariff pol
icy TO the productions of their own
artists. and art in America would re-
ceive a very severe blow.
While we cannot agree with our con
temporary regarding a tariff on paint
ings and works of art, we cordial.
agree with it that books should be i'm
ported absolutely free, because every
man. the rich and the poor alike, some
times buy books, and, as they are food
for the mind, restrictions should be
taken from them. Free books are
really more essential to the welfare of
the people than free art.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-29

The Kansas City Star very aptly says
that the Republicans of the house ways
and means committee have yielded to
the petitions of the professors of Yale
college, who protested against the tariff
taxation on books and educational APP
paratus, and announce that such arti-
cles, so far as they are not published
or made in the United States, will be
continued on the free list after the
Dingley bill is passed. That is admir-
able as far as it goes, but isn't it in a
measure a discrimination to release
scientific apparatus, instruments,
books, charts and chemicals and tax
the clothing that children must wear
while acquiring rudimentary instruc-
ton in the. common schools. Wooden
garments are as necessary to the
children who attend the district school
as scientific apparatus, instruments,
charts and chemicals are to the adj
yanced scholars at Yale and Harvard.
and the spelling book of the country
urchin is as essential to his success in
acquiring knowledge as are books of
science used by the seniors in the uni
versity. Still, half leaf is better than
no bread, and the abandonment of the
design to tax higher education is a step
in the right direction and may ulti-
mately lead to something better.

He Was a Beauty.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Some years ago
there was a family positively famous for
its ugliness. 1t was of so pronounced a
type that the male portion of the family
not only knew it, but appeared to be
proud of it.
One of the race was once admlrlnS MS
eldest son. and congratulating MN on De-
ing the ugliest of the tribe.
Don't lose your position, said he TO
the young man. If you meet man
ugIier than yourself, shoot MIN.
The son promised he would.
Some years after that he was wandering
with his gun on the YorkShireS moors,
when he met a tourist botanizing. He was
al once startled by the man appearance
AS soon as he recovered his self-Dosses-
sion, he went up to the botaniSt and SAID:
''Sir, 1 must shoot YOU"
There was no other human being IN
sight, and naturally the man addressed
was alarmed But thinking to humor the
mailman. as he took him to be, he SAID,
jocularly:
shoot me. my friend? What have 1
done?''
The other replied, gravely:
Nothing. Only | promised my father
that if l ever met man uglier than my
self | would shoot him..
The stranger took a steady look at him.
and said slowly:
Am | really uglier than your
There's no doubt about it.
Then shoot me. L don't want to live
any longer"

SIN IN THE CITY.

Periodically there is a popular up
heaval over sin in the CITY. For a
while tie people are stirred up over
the question, there is a temporary dis
play of energy in enforcing the law,
and then matters lapse into the old
luts. Just now one of these popular
upheavals is taking place, but the tenn
porary display of energy in enforcing
the law has not begun; it may be ex-
pected any day.
What is the trouble at the bottom of
it all? 1t is that there is no real, gem
uine desire on the part of the police
authorities to suppress the evils COM
planned of. That they can be abso-
lutely suppressed no one contends, but
it is the duty of the police authorities
to try and suppress them. which would
result in reducing them to minimum.
Instead of attempting to suppress them
they are regulated which simply
means that they are not to be molested
unless they become obtrusively often
sive The sweet wills of the authorities
are substituted for the plain letter OF
the law. A police commissioner has
so little sense of the proprieties of his
position as to say in the public press
that the bawdy houses of the town are
so well regulated that if one of their
visitors is robbed in one of them the
stolen property can be recovered in an
hours time. How that statement must
rouse the pride of the people in their
city government! There is no use try
ing to mend matters, so long as the
present city administration lasts, but
when the next municipal election
comes it should be thrown out so high
and so far that when it strikes there
will be a dull. sickening thud

of Spring.

Warm days are due, when ones
Winter Overcoat will be much too
heavy for comfort. A Spring Over
coat or Covert Cloth Box-Coat will
solve the difficulty. Meantime you
should be thinking of Spring Suit,
and it ought to be matter of some
consequence to find what is not onlv
stylish in cut, but durable. Light
weight garments, to wear well, must
be properly shaped, and the stays
and interlinings must be correctly
fitted and sewed. It is these things
that you can't see and don't always
know about that make a great part
of the difference between good and
bad clothes. You'll find all these
little important things in our $3.50,
$40 and SIS Suits; in our $40, SIS
and $50 Overcoats; in any garment
we sell. They fit right, priced right
and your money back if you want it.
