When the great despairing cry of
San Francisco went out to New York
on that awful day in April, and aid
sprang up from everywhere as if con-
iured by an unseen power the artists
hurriedly gathered together-led by
those who were nurtured in fair Cali
fornia-and determined to raise funds
for their fellows in the stricken city,
the home city for many, and beloved
by all.
It's an old story of how they de-
cided upon a sale; of how ii was a
tremendous success artistically, and of
how $4,000 Gin round numbers) was
raised; of how ii was sent direct to
Arthur Mathews. late dean OF the
School of Design, with absolute un-
limited power to distribute it as he

that it be given only to professional
artists
Now, anybody that knows Mr.. Ma

this there is no question, and no one

ers could be exhibited and Incidentally
sold.
Now. Mr. Mathews does, as a mat
ter of fact, favor this plan. But
wiseacre that he is, he will call upon
his fellows for an expression of judg-
ment-though technically under no
bonds to co so.
Some Of the painters whoz-have lost

adequate to set them going again,
and that distribution of the
remaining funds would help thsm
to their feet; and that the build
ing of gallery would more properly
come under the Jurisdiction of the Art
Association, to whom an insurance of
Sl5e 900 is due
But Mr. Mathews reasons thusly:
These artists sent this money. not
for charity but to enable the fellows
out here to get going again. And l
don't see any better way to help them
than TO give them a place to show
their wares-to give them a convent

delightful it is that country editor has
practically nothing to do between press

off the trees with Which to pay them.
Subscribers vie with each other TO see
who can pay the fartliest in advance.
Advertisers beg for additional space.
And the way the news hunts up the edi-

and leans back in his easy chair and looks
wise and waits for next weeks press day,
