Farmers" which is one of the Invest
subjects of the day. Only by active
cooperation can farmers hope to get a
square deal from railroad combina-
tions and manufacturers trusts, and

Scribner's is particularly fortunate in
it's list of writer's and in the exception
al interest of it's contributions for the
coming year. The fact that the serial
story of 1907 1.-The Fruit of the Tree is
to be by Mrs. Wharton (whose 1.-THE
House of Mirth'' has already sold nearly
200, 900 copies in book form) will I'M

who love to express their individual

PAINTERS ASKING

Organization of Societies

IS Sought.

The agitation now prevalent in many
sections OF the country for national rec

In this country of such educational ad-
vantages as will enable American ar.
students 10 properly equip themselves at
home in all branches Of the fine arts
for their life work. is a movement
which viii probably result in some for
ward steps in the right direction.
This need has long been recognized by
the American Institute Of Architects, now
the owners Of the Octagon House in
Washington. 1t is their purpose a soon as
the necessary funds can be secured to
erect such additional buildings as viii
give adequate room for the organization
Of a school in which a postgraduate
course in architecture may be furnished
10 those who would otherwise be obliged
to go abroad in order to secure such
instruction as cannot at this time be
obtained in this country.
1t is urged that If other art societies
would adopt a similar plan. we could
have in this country such educational
advantages as would make foreign

SuCA ACStAANboLS as Nouiu etcN1le rainier

It Is evident, however. that from the
agitation now existing that something

next session of Congress an effort will
be made to provide a suitable building
for the National Gallery of Art This
| institution already owns enough art
works to make a good permanent ex-
hibitiOn If a suitable building could be
secured. In fact its present possessions
are far in excess of the number of art
works owned by the Boston Museum
the Metropolitan Museum. or the Ma

of the organization of these now cele-
brated museums.

Philadelphians Will Protect
Statue Erected by Children

In Philadelphia on July 4 1859, the
children Of the public schools who had
been instrumental in a large degree in
securing the necessary funds for the
erection Of a marble statue Of Washing
ton, joined in the celebration IN honor
OF the unwilling of this monument in
front OF Independence Hall
For thiTty-eight years this statue has
remained in front OF Independence Hall

the varying changes Of temperature and
climate, has commenced to crumble
away. Fissures have made their ap-
pearance, and il has become necessary

Cleveland, Ohio, Making Campaign
For Higher STANDARD of Art

Cleveland, Ohio, is commencing the
campaign for a better art within her
own borders. The rights of citizens TO
dishgure the city by the introduction Of
art works of doubtful merit are to be
restricted II the next Legislature can be
prevailed upon to create an art commits
sion which will pass upon the merit of
all art works hereafter TO be added to
the city.
1t IS somewhat instructive to know
that Cleveland is pointing to the con-
ditions in Washington as illustrative of
the benefits which accrue TO a city
whose art affairs are under supervision.
Here at home there exists TO some ex-
tent a feeling that whatever may be
the benefits of a supervision over art
matters. this relief has come too late.
and that the city K now overstocked
with doubtful works or art of such
dishguring nature. yet so strongly in
trenchCd by national sanction. that any
attempt TO remove any one of the new
numerous statues would cause such a
protest as would result in what would
amount 10 a reimbursement OF much that
is now considered sadly lacking in art
qualities.
From the, viewpoint Of Cleveland.

FINE RELIGIOUS MACHINERY.

prayer wheel six feet in height. raised
three feet from the floor and turned by
ropes with handles hanging convenient
~ from the bottom. In the same room
was a scroll containing 1,00O Buddhas

Tibetans have certainly outdone every

Corcoran Art Gallery Second
In Point Of Attendance

To those who are inclined to depIore
the lack Of art appreciation in Wash
ington 1t should be Of special interest
to know that the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art is the second art museum in the
country IN point Of the attendance OF
visitors, and that It is only exceeded
in this respect by the Boston Museum.
This statistical information comes from
an out-of-town exchange. and has been
gained from a comparative examination
Of the annual reports Of five large art
museums of the country.
Ii is evident that this information is
not from reports of the current year.
and that unless the proportion OF at
tendance at Boston has shown a
marked increase. that the reports OF
the current year viii place the Corcoran
Gallery OF Art in the first place.
This showing Is based upon an esfi-
mate of the number of visitors as COM
pared with the population of the differ
ent cities included in the comparison
The present year of the Corcoran Gal
lery. which viii include the remarkable
attendance at the salon Of last Feb
ruary. should place Washington in the

Twenty years ago DR.. A. p. Burrus

teeth for Mr.. Kramer, and spared no

set gave the best of service, and would
have lasted fifty years had not the
