Whenever a reform is instituted
for the eradication of some evil
growth in our Industrial or political
system and the voices Of the dema-
gogues arise in a menacing chorus,
the ultra conservatives Immediately
begin to suspect the people and
cover before, what they profess to
believe. Is vox populi. 1t was so
when the republic was formed and
It has ever been so. and yet the re-
public continues, growing richer,
stronger and more rigidly moral as
time passes. The people always can
be trusted, even as they could be
trusted when the old Federalist party
was pesslmistic of their quallfica-
tons for self-government The evil
growths are not attributable to the
people. neither is the voice Of the
demagogue the voice OF the people.

CLARK
DESERVES PLACE

Indications point to an easier posi-
ton in the police department for
James Clark, the popular patrolman.
He has been suffering greatly from
his wounded leg, and his physician.
DR.. Horace T. Rivers. examined the
leg Sunday and addressed a COM
to the mayor and board
of fire and police commissioners test
flying to Patrolman Clark's condi-
ton. 1t reached the mayor today.
The letter states that Patrolman
Clark's limb is in bad condition,
that The diseased bone is likely to
cause complications unless he rests
from his regular duties. He was shot
by John Tice, the negro who barri-
caded himself In the tower at
Eleventh street and Broadway, in de.
fiance of patrolmen, who had gone to
arrest him Clark, while mounting
the steps, was shot by the negro. He
was laid up for months and his leg
is gradually growing worse.
Clark is one Of the best patrolmen
on the force. He was instrumental in
detecting and drawing out full con-
fession from James Graham, slayer
of Claude Bass, and was a principal
in catching the five boy housebreakers
who were taken to the reform school
three weeks ago.

At last-a great discovery! The
press of the country learns that Dis
trict Attorney Jerome is trying to
convict Harry X. Thaw of murder.
What a triumph of reasoning, con-
sidering the fact that Thaw is indict-
ed for murder. And. yet, we will
qualify the conclusion by saying that
Jerome is trying to make 1t plain to
the jury, whether or not Harry X.
Thaw is technically guilty of murder.

HE California Guild Of Arts and
Crafts represents movement
which is very strong in Germany
and in the Scandinavian countries
and which is now gaining strength In
the United States. 1t is the revival OF
the old household industries, long sur
fered to decay, and their application 10
the requirements of modern life. 1t Is
not many generations ago that almost
every article used in the house was
manufactured by members OF the
household, and though we may think
that we have made great advancement
since those crdde times, there was an
individuality. a charm and dignity
about the old handmade things which
modern factory products can never
equal. The flood of cheap machine
made articles produced a reaction in
favor of the old ways. Old looms were
dragged from their places OF storage
and the simple. solid patterns were
revived. The really fine art OF pictorial
weaving was again given place OF
honor Wood carving. which had sunk
to be the freside amusement OF old
men in the peasants huts, was taught
the. children in the schools. Society
took up work in leather and in metal.
The simple. austere style in houses
and household furnishings which has
become typical of California lends itself
admirably to the grating on IL Of Teu-
tonic handicraft. The somber back
ground of the redwood walls and the
straight lines of the mission furniture
call for the same honesty and simplicity
in hangings and in all the things that
go to complete the furnishing Of the
house.
The California Guild OF Arts and
Crafts has worked earnestly in the
domain of Industrial art. The or
ganization received a serious setback
by the April fire and it was not until
quite lately that 1t exhibited its old
time vigor. The spring exhibition,
which is being held at 1925 California
street. SHOWS that a great deal OF work
has been done lately by members.
There are some artist members of the
guild who are faithful contributors,
notably Bertha Stringer Lee and Mau-
rice del Niue. A number of beautiful
photographs are shown, a series of
seventeen pictures of a child in diff
ferent attitudes taken by Miss Adelaide
Hanscom being especially charming
Among the other contributors is Miss
Annie Brigham, who is famous for her
artistic photography.
Miss Elizabeth Ferrea has some
pretty plaster plaques of children and
some with a flower design. Among the,
examples of applied art are some ex-
quisite designs for decoration carrying
out butterfly motif, the work of Miss
Ellen Colt.
Isabel c. Percy has contributed some
specimens OF an old art that has lately
been revived, that sf printing from
~ HI
used is pongee silk, which lends itself
admirably by reason of its soft color
ing and texture to the patterns in
dull, rich tints. The art of printing
from wood blocks on cloth was prac-
ticed in Holland, but was allowed to
