GREAT AMERICAN STATESMEN.
I. SAMUEL ADAMS.
BY BERNARD c. STEINER, PH. D.

To no one does the cause of American
independence owe more than TO this man
who with invincibie persistence and
shrewd far-sightedness so conducted the
cause of those among the colonists who
opposed the taxation of Americans by the
British Parliament that a majority of all
the British subjects in each colony We're
willing to unite in declaring their inde
pendence from all foreign rule He was
typical puritan, upright, firm. determined,
religious, devoted to his cause, somewhat
narrow, but with the narrowness of the
sharp-edged sword He was above all else
4 politician-a professional and practical
politician. His early ventures in business
were unsuccessful. His malt house was
soon closed. his tax collectorship life him
involved in debt and, living on the small
remains Of his fathers estate, he devoted
the remainder OF his days to political life
Adams was of unblemished integrity. His
means were so narrow that his frugal and
devoted wife was at times called upon to
aid in the support of the family and he
was indebted to friends for the clothes he
wore, yet no temptation to amass wealth
touched him. He was above bribery or

play In 1897. In two passages at least we
can see where the printer of the first edi-
ton. working probably from a playhouse
copy inter!ned and with marginal read
ings, has struck off the old and the new
IN one confused tumble. The first OF these
is Berowne's famous eulogy Of love (act
~, scene 81, the second Rosalines 1uqS-
ment on her lover (act ', scene p. The
inequality in length of the acts shows US
where the 'augmentations' have been
made. The characters of ROsaltne and
BerOwne must have been strengthened,
and II is possible that the figure OF the
pedant schOolmaster was added as com
panion piece to the pedaut curate of the
first sketch.
IV.-Points of Special Interest.
In spite Of what has been said above as
70 the comparative lack of interest OF
this play for the general reader, there are
better repay a close and sympathetic
study than Loves LabOr's Lost It is
a play Of beginnings, and we may see in
il the art Of Shakespeare in the germ, or
rather in a bud just unfolding. sweet in
Itself and fuu Of glorious promise. It IS
play Of youth; the young King, the
young Princess, the young amOrous lords
and ladies dominate the scenes. And in
the fash and parry of the weapons of
Young wit we catch the mind of the young
poet And il is play in which the per-
sonality OF the author shines out through
the thin veil of the hero, and We see, if
rot exactly Shakespeare himself, Shakes
peare as he wished himself to appear in
the eyes OF his mistress.
V.-Shakespeare' Art in the Play.
The dramatic art shown in the con-
struCticn OF the plot is Of the very Slight
est. The story drawn no one knows
whence, IS a mere peg on which to hang
: spangled robe Of wit and poetry. A
King Of Navarro decides to turn his court
into d little academe. He and his followers
take vows to study hard, TO sleep little.

society Of women, in order that they may
drink deep OF the delights of learning and
earn IN their lives the fame that shall

color effects, not forcing the note, not
making a Haunting display of technical
mastery, nor seeking vivid contrasts. He
is sober and harmonious, tending more
and more, as he advances in years, to-
ward a single color note, flooding the sur
face with light and obliterating outlines.
This makes him a last quite an impress
sionist, so that to appreciate many of his
late pictures ii is necessary to obtain the
right distance and focus before the proper
effect of color and form can be under
stood. AT close quarters they seem blur
red and careless.
But beyond the wonderful coloring
which so often gives just the intoxication
of Venetian evening there was undOubt-
edly a vivid power of characterization in
Titians art, whether his portraits have
the clear outlines of the Young Man
With the Glove" or are impressionistic
like the "Antiquary Strada.' If the mas
ter's art is perplexing in its variety of
stages. it is due to his long life and the
changes in contemporary art; if it is IN
even in its quality it is because his lax
ity was not proof against the temptation
of pot boilers-and for this his age was
more to blame than he was. Certainly
the fact that his nature was impressiona-
BILE has made him a radiant reflection of
the sensuous life of the late Venetian
renaissance to a degree that would have
been impossible to a more seIf-poised or
solitary genius.

with a lavish hand upon those who are

then discover, on closer inspection, that
the dramatist has but slight sympathy
with other worldliness, with the spirit
that, regarding man as a stranger and pill

follow his pencil as, with vigorous or ten

EDITOR ARGUS: My attention has
been called to an article appearing in
your paper IA couple OF weeks ago on
the subject, "A County High School,
in which you state that so far as you
are aware not n single student from
Fergus county il taking a collegiate
course or even preparing for one.
In Justice to Cwo very worthy Fer
gus county boys | desire to call your
attention to Frank A. Spragg, who
Is pursuing a observation-disclosures
at Bozeman, and Guy Hoffman (son
Of Mrs. W. A. Long,, who is finishing
his sophomore year in no less an in
stitution than the University OF PENN
%sylvania. Both of these boys entered
the schools where they are now pur-
suing their studies at the beginning
of the school year 'G-S. Frank was
behind in Latin, as he had not put in
the required amount of time in that
branch in the high school, and so he
was in some preparatory classes the
first year.
Of his work during the past year
President James Reid always speaks
in very complimentary terms when !
meet.him. The report of Prof. Trap
hagen to the state board Of educa-
ton, June, 1899, contains the follow
ing:
During Mr.. Cobleigh's absence
Messrs. Burk Simons and Spragg,
student assistants, have helped very
acceptably In the work Of the depart
ment."
Mr.. Cobleigh Is the regular probes
sor Of mathematics and had been
given leave of absence for one yearto
take a postgraduate course at CO.
lumbia university. as n result of
which work he received the degree of
master of arts.
Mr.. Spragg, so DR.. Reid informs
me, has distinguished himself in the
matter OF mechanical construction,
leading all the students I'm the school
in this line of work. Fergus county
has had nine students I'm the college
OF A. and NJ. arts at Bozeman during
