TIE WAR FOR MASTERY-

No great credulity is needed In order TO be-
heYe the latest report from San Francisco that
the true conditions in that earthquake shaken
hreswept graft ridden, labor boss cursed town
have been largely suppressed for obvious prac-
tical reasons. Any one who can read between
the lines might have discovered as much from
the excellent, conservative ANALYSIS of the sit
uaton given last week in THE San Francisco
Argonaut.' Everybody else can be cony need at
viii by reading the various private letters which
nave been finding their way during the last fort
night into the columns OF various publications.
throughout the country. San Francisco is. ac-
cording to all witnesses, In a turmoil painfully
like those which ragged chronically in the medi-
;eval Italian cities. The only material differ
enoe seems to be that the California metropolis
harbors gang Of political sharpers who plav
or the contending factions against one another
in fashion which would make Macchiavelu
weep for joy.
The Argonaut" declares that the furious
struggle between organized labor and the in
choate body cf business and other middle classo
men is made possible by q deeper and silent con-
aict among various commercial and financial In
terests. Were all of those who stand sentimen-
tally for conservatism and good order united
solidly against corrupt leaders Of the duned
workingmen and shrewd adventures the labor
unions would never have been able to put up
the bold, violent, arrogant fight which has been
undermining the city's reputation and credit
Unpleasant as this news is, it is hard to chal-
lenge its accuracy. Quite aside from the nunoer-
Gus recent charges and countercharges impIicat-
ing many prominent citizens, the general state
of affairs makes The Argonaut's" assertion
more than plausible The rebuilding OF the most
important port on the most important ocean of
the future offers dazzling opportunities to clever
investors, but also great ones to unscrupulous
manipulators. The wild scramble for salable
land, the fight for wharfage and other conces-
sions, and, above all else the bitter competition
for building loans have been enough to reduce
the better ciasses'' of San Francisco to a con-
geries of warning cliques, few of which are de-
TERED by broad considerations for the citys fut-
ure
Nevertheless, we do not believe that the whole
truth is wrapped up in The Argonaut's" asser-
tloh that the town is being ruined "by n ven
delta between factions OF our property class"

DISABLED ARTISTS.

One hardly knows whether to rejoice or mourn
over the news that the board of trustees ap-
pointed by the Artists Fund Society to raise
$4,000 has succeeded thus far in securing
$4,000 OF the desired amount. Although the sum
already subscribed is a welcome beginning, it
surely seems pitfully small when the tremen-
dous interest in art Outwardly shown by cult
ured New Workers is taken into consideration.
The $4,000 fund Is to be devoted to the support
of superannuated artists in comfortable
homes" Ought not the numerous persons who
profess TO enjoy works of art and eager
to have America become an independent art
centre to help raise this much needed sum?
Thus far it appears that artists themselves have
responded generously TO the appeals Of the
trustees While it IS natural for those who
may some day benefit by the fund TO take the
liveliest interest in its establishment those
who enjoy the works of the artist should show
some tangible appreciation of the often tragic
efforts which bring forth beautiful canvases
and sculptures.
Many charitable persons doubtless feel the
artists claim to be slight in comparison with
that of the slum babies. 1t may perhaps be
urged that the artists, like any other skilled
Workmen, should take care Of themselves by 4
mutual aid soclety-a view held by many PROM
inent painters which makes it all the more
convincing. Nevertheless, there are some spe-
cial considerations which are deserving OF at
tention. In the first place, the artist usually
has TO spend years IN training himself for his
work, often going heavily into debt in order
to perfect himself, and, being traditionally I'M
busineslke, he may not he able to overcome
this early handicap soon enough 10 lay by some
thing for old age Then, again he takes large
chances in choosing his occupation for only
in rare cases does the artist know that he has
in him the making Of successful painter or
sculptor. If, after years of effort, he fails To
thrill the world and is obliged to do artistic
hack work for pttance, who shall sentence him
in his old age TO shift for himself?
The fact is, the world would still be far ahead
in the calculation of benefits if men paid mite
directly to every artist whose productions
pleased them. Suppose painter were paid one
tenth as much as those gazing upon his can
vases agreed the sight of them 20 be worth;
Raphaels estate would to-day be one Of tho
largest taxpayers in Europe, while many minor
artists might be occupying Fifth avenue dwell
ings near the Metropolitan Museum. In all
seriousness, would it not be a sensible scheme
to devote trivial percentage of the pay day
receipts Of public and private art collections
TO the maintenance Of an artists pension fund?
Would that not do much to encourage art in
this country?
