COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

m@ HARLEs DANA GIBSON will N give up an income of something
 like s65,OO0 a year to study art in Europe. The creator of the "Gibson Girl' feels that he has reached the sum init of his powers in black and white, so he has determined to enter upon a new field. He will lay down the pen to take up the brush. After years of hard work and ambitious yearning he has earned enough money to make him inde- pendent and in the mellowlng influence of the old world he will seek new jnspira- tion. Admirers of MT. Gibson in all parts of the United Stages will sincerely regret his departure for the Gibson sketches will cease to appear. His pie lures have a human quality that imme- diately enlsts ones sympathies. His humor is fresh and natural, his knowl- edge of human nature that of a master. The Gibson girl won instant and lasting fame, but the subtle probing of the artist into the very hearts of men and women and the ndescribable charm of his ideas have contributed no little to his reputa- tion.
 In recalling some oi the notable draw ings of Charles Dana Gibson, there is one which appeared several years ago in Life and exercised strange fascina- tion. It was moral cartoon. depicting Hope in the guise of a woman with the laurel wreath of fame leading an old man to his grave. The man was old and gray and his foot was on the edge of his grave. but Hope still held the wreath before his eyes. He stretched out his arms for it, and did not see the cavity yawn- ing at his feet. The background was landscape of intense gloom black pail overspread the heavens, save far down on the horizon, where there was faint streak of light, ghastly and wierd in contrast with the darkness

JEWS ARE PERSECUTED BE.
CAUSE OF RUSSIAN FEARS
San Francisco Examiner

In connection with the religious prosecutions in
sa and the murders of Jews by Russian officials have
repeatedly called attention the fact that the officials Of
Russia murder the Jews because Russia fears the Jews
Interesting confirmation of this statement and of our
further statement that selling the battlesbip knaz

revolutionary Jew furnished by the governor of Odes
sa. We quote very interesting paragraph in which he
replied rather reasonable request of the Jews that
they should not be murdered Wholesale
The governor is astunished the Jews addressing
such letters to him. seeing that is the Jews themselves
that caused all the disorders The police invariably found
revolvers, bombs and prohibited literature in Jewish
houses But for the Jews there would be disturbances
and no Knaz Potemlline affair Now the Jews have inn
pertnence to bring charges against the police
The Jews Of Russia are certainly doing very great
work for civilization They endure dreadful persecution
as ali people must that oppose the Of absolute
government.
Women and children and old murdered in
the uprsngs. The cowardy government plays upon the
superstition of the ignorant Russian mob And the mob
is urged to murder the Jews, believing that is de-
Tending the Russian religion, whereas it is really
derng those who trying bring freedom to Russia.
Russian rulers appreciate thoroughly and hate bitter
y the Jews extraordinary capacity for resistance to op
presson
Today in Russia they are still making the same fight
And this governor of Odessa his public reclamation
unwitngly pays the the highest possible comp
when he says But for the Jews there would be
disturbance and Kniaz Potemkine affair"
If there disturbances in Russia the country
would remain forever the victim of atrocous msgovern

We human beings are still very much like animals.
We have foolish blind hatreds of that differ
from own
But even the most ignorant among us, those least
able appreciate the great work that been

at least to appreciate the fighting of those
