AIRS. Gardner and the Duty on Art

That is a rather ugly matter Of the
evasion of the customs laws with which
Mrs. Jack" Gardner, of Boston, is
charged It is just ss much SNUG
Cling to bring in objects of art with
out paying duty on them as it is to
bring in diamonds or seal skin coats.
But the incident will not De without its
good effect if it brings home to every
person attracted by the news of the al
legged offense an abiding sense of the
foolishness of the law which taxes the
importation of articles which we ought
TO be eager TO get into the country.
Every question has two sides, but
this one. The American artist, in
whose behalf the law is said to have
been framed, is dead against it. The
revenue derived from it Is inconsider-
able. The great paintings and sculp-
lures and art objects of all kinds that
are kept out of the country as a result
OF the tax are numerous and valuable:
and as the greatest of art works al
WAYS Tavitate sooner or later to the
public galleries, the loss is to the whole
people. Henry Walters, of Baltimore,
had to pay duty on the splendid Massa-
remit collection which he acquired !,
year or two ago in Italy, in spite o.
the fact that the Walters Gallery is
thrown open to the public during sew
eral months of each year.
Paul de Longpre, a Western artist,
for some time past has been making an
appeal to the National Government to
further the cause of art in tlis country
by the establishment of 'national
