Alaska miners are said to be highly
excited over the alleged hosting of a
British flag well within United States
territory. The idea is further advanced
that the Canadian authorities have
slyly planted their emblem beyond a
disputed boundary line while the ad-
ministration is preparing for war with
SPAIN
The Canadian authorities are either
very officious or else they are misrep-
resented, If the flag is still flying, il
will have to come down; and doubtless
it will without any resultant troubles.

Mr. George de Forest Brush talked
to about 75 members of the Art Stu
dents Club and their friends in the lee
ture room of the Public Library Sat
urdag evening upon art in it's reIa-
ton to life The subject had been an
nounced as "Art in it's relation to socia-
llsm, but although formally omitted
from the discussion, Socialistic ideas
permeated it as, strongly, if not as
agressively as at the talk before the
Woman's Club class in sociology a fort
night ago. Mr. Brush had number of
of famous architecture form many
nations and centuries. all the
way from Bgypt and Greece
to the Aztecs, chiefly of the
great cathedrals of Europe, and these
furnished sort of text to his remarks
The ideas which they served most
strongly to emphasize were that art mas
always sprung from the highest, intens-
est, primitive passions of man; that reli-
gion has rendered a great service to art
by unifying and directing artistic eX-
preston; that great art can only be
reached by the subordination of the
individual and the cooperation of the
nation; that at present art is an affec-
tation in America, because we have no
emotions to depict nor such complica-
ton of scientific or emotional or social
life as to eliminate in art, and also be-
cause of the omnipresence of machinery (;
that our art of the future must spring
from the ARTISAN classes; that the mis-
sion of 4rt is something more than to
make life go gaily, and that the time
will come, when, by attaining to unity
of action and ideal as in the Chicago
worlds fair, America may produce an
49, That Of
In beginning his address, Mr. Brush
spoke of the doubts which appertained
to art, especially to modern art, when
the artist who starts in his profession
sanguine and full of fire, ends by being
thankful to make a living out of it. He
finds himself supplying market with
phantasies and toys, with the result
that what he does is not in keeping with
his early aspirations, is not noble, does
not reach the world In order to see the
reasons of and the cure for this we must
go to early art. AS art is n natural
means of expression a language whose
object is to describe, we find it used by
the first men, The earliest drawings
show man struggling with his enemies,
first with wild beasts afterwards with
his fellow-man. Out of the second of
| these great, leading experiences of men
grew patriotism, the defence of women
and children, and all the warlike vir-
tues. Last came the God idea, religion,
and it was principally religious art to
which Mr.. Brush turned his attention
last night.
The debt Of art to religion was topic
upon which he had much to say. While
granting that nothing can be nobler
than Christian art, he said that the
point which he desired to make was
that religions whether right or wrong
have produced great art wherever their
followers have been possessed by them
and have builded to them. You might
as well give million dollars and say,
II will discover new food; or. Il will
discover a new plant" as to hope for
an art by any process of education
through art museums and the like.
