PROTECTION FOR ARTISTS.

The recent decision by the supreme
court of the United States to the effect
that it is not necessary for a painting
to have a copyright notice paint
ed on its face in order to pre-
vent reproduction will surprise a
great many people. And the
surprise will be occasioned by the
knowledge that it was necessary for
the highest court in the land to pass
belief that a painting was just as much
the property of an artist as is the work
of an author. That it has been posi-
BILE for men to make copies of paint
to their own advantage, has worked a
hardship on the artists. a hardship
that should not have been tolerated as
long as it has been.
The statement is made that hereto
fore it has been the practice of the
courts to hold that unless a paintin>
bore a copyright notice on its face it
could be copied with impunity. The
result has been that artists have seen
inferior copies of their work used on
billboards. as advertising posters, on
cards and calendars and the like And
they have had no recourse upon the
thieves. The practice hereafter in the
United States will be the same as in
England, where the ownership of
picture does not convey the copyright
That remains always the property of
the artist.
It is obviously just as unfair TO pass
the copyright to a painting along to
the purchaser as it would be to pass
the copyright of a novel along to the
buyer of the volume. Also it is unfair
10 expect artists to mutilate their pic
lures by emblazoning on them an an
nouncement that they have been CO.
pyrighted In many cases this action
would seriously impair the value of
the painting. both from the artistic
and from the financial points of view.
The decision will be welcomed by
artists generally as a thorough estab-
lishment of the rights for which they
have been contending And it will APP
peal to the public generally as an adj
ministration of substantial justice.

NEWSPAPER TRAINING.

The value of good newspaper train
ing to men who afterwards engage in
other occupations has had many illus
trations. The public generally, how
ever has had little opportunity to OBJ
serve them. The fact remains, though,
that many of the nations most sue
cessfuI men gained in newspaper Of
fees the practical knowledge of hu-
man nature that has enabled them,
after leaving tho newspaper profess
sion, 20 attain altitudinous heights in
the employment to which they have
been attracted.
It was announced from New York
the other day that Frank E. Wander
lip, now vice president of the National
City bank. would shortly be promoted
To the presidency. Mr. Vanderlip was
for a number of years in the newspa-
per business. He left it to become pri-
vate secretary to Lyman Gage when
Nj. Gage was appointed secretary of
the treasury. George Z, Roberts, who
recently assumed the presidency of a
big Chicago bank, is another Old-time
newspaper man. Malcolm Mcdowell
the yoUns banker who is at the head
of the movement for feeding the unem-
ployed in Chicago, had a newspaper
training covering a period of several
years
Newspaper men have been success
fui in other business besides bank
ing. They have gone to the front as
diplomats, as lawyers, in politics and
in many walks of life. And most of
them remember with gratitude their
newspaper service. most of them are
willing 10 attribute to that service the
foundation for their present successes
Such one is Mr.. Roberts, to whom
reference has been made. Not long
since he said:
II obtained my training in newspa
per work That is the best sort of
training for any kind of work. in my
mind. Newspaper work gives man
more adaptability. makes him a good
Judge of men, and gives him the
power of thinking and acting quickly
and accurately at a moments notice.
and on his own initiative. There is no
better training school than a newspa-
per office for young men"
Commenting on the subject general
ly The Editor and Publisher says:
Much has been said about the
temptations of newspaper life. Per-
haps they are more numerous than
those in some other lines of work. It
is certainly no occupation for molly
coddles or weaklings. Young men of
ability and character need have no
fear of the alleged demOralizing effect
of journalistic work. If they cannot
go through the experiences they are
bound to meet in the business and
keep themselves straight, they do not
have the right kind Of stuff in them to
make a success in any occupation"
The man who wrote that knew
whereof he spoke. We can only add to
it our opinion that the young man who
can make real success in the news
paper business can be successful in
any work to which he may direct his
talents.
