he ever did Is his portrait Of William
NJ. Chase, the artist. which has been
highly praised wherever 1t has been
shown.
His work Is typically natural, simple
and dlgnined, rather than SNOWY or brill

harmonious, and he displays n commend
able avoidance Of all outre or strained
effects The portrait OF Mrs Aston Is
characteristic In Its good taste and re-

that .'for a woman to he painted by

GOING TOO FAR.

Reforms are sometimes seriously
injured il not permanently disabled
for the present generation through
the misdirrct.d zeal OF friends. This
observation applies with especial
force to prohibition. Very many So
called prohibifiouists have bul a
hazy idea of the scope of the prohib-
ition movement. They do not seem
to realize that the thou shalt nuts"
Of the law must have limitations
That laws To be valid must not trans
cend the constitution.
As a matter Of fact these people
have but Il vague idea. il any, of the
constitution or its purpose. To them
any personal act Of their neighbor
that runs counter 10 what they be-
lieve to be right, aud which they he
lieye TO be harmful in it, effect. is a
proper thing to interdict-to place
under the ban Of law
They do not seem to realize that a
mans body is in a measure his own:
that what he eats, or drinks, or con-
sumes in smoke is his own affair and
not another's.
Prohibition can no more interfere
with mans right to drink liquor
