Rossetti and his comrades undoubtedly have
their place in the history of British painting, and
they have their followers in England to this day,
but 1t is possible TO make too much. Mr..
Phythian does, of the principles for which they
stood. After ALL principle in art counts only
in proportion as its value is demonstrated in
actual performance. 1t is thing to discourse
with solennity en- what the English Pre-
Raphaelites tried to do. 1t is another to look
the record of these men squarely in the face and
to test their title to fame by their work The
subject is too large to be gone into at the mo-
ment. but it may be noted that the Pre-Raphael-
ties do not justify the seriousness with which
Mr.. Phythan takes them He is more judicious

absurdly inadequate.

must say of it that lit is one of the great pict-

defects in the execution of Whistlers portrait OF
Irving as Philip IL A few pages further on he
declares that Whistler was the one artist of our
time who seemed incapable of laundering and
whose work. from the minute finish of The
Pool to the excessive sIghtness of The Beach
was invariably hawless." But in general Mr.
Sickerts enthusiasm Is very sympathetic and
he gives. when all Is said. not only a generous
but just impression OF his hero. He shows
common sense. too. In his treatment of some
mooted points '"The present generation has
forgotten. he says. land Whistler himself en-
couraged this ignorance. that his earlier work
was received with enthusiasm In England. Not
only did he exhibit from first to last at the

it's development. to range the schools IN orderly

on cause and effect but in the long run he is
bafied None of these things is really easy to
do, and. indeed. cOnclusivey systematic analy-

theieSs, one writer after another cheerfully ad-
dresses himself to the task Mr. Phythian the
latest to enter the field. meets the fate THAI
has overtaken all his predecessors his book on
Fifty Years of Modern Painting is not well
balanced history but collection of descriptive
and less critical notes. These make
mildly interesting reading The author keeps to
his chronology he grasps the essential traits of
most if not all of the many painters he has to
discuss to mention. and the reader who is
content with a superficial notion of modern art
may here find all the aid he needs. M.
Phythian will show him who Rossetti was. what
kind of work done by Puvis de Chavannes.
and so on and will even give him some small
idea of the relation of artist in the long list
that he is in agreeable company. that his mentor
talks very well. More than this, however can
hardly be said in praise of Mr.. Phythiau's book
The truth is that the last half century has
been the most eclectic period in the history Of
art. With the decline of the historic schools the
progress of painting came to depend in very

Mr.. kipling'S speech at the recent anniversary
dinner of the Royal Literary Fund contained
some good observations on the calling of letters
He spoke of the handicaps carried by the mod
author. who has to make his way against
the competition of the classics and is not served
by the copyright laws quite as the owners of
property not literary are served. On this latter
point he said
Most men bound by OATH or organiza>
ton. their national instinct not to work for
nothing. When his demon urges a man of
letters to work he may do SO without any
gard to wages the sentiments of his fellow
workers This may be incontnence inspira-
ton Whichever it is, must face the fact
and its consequences, that at any moment a
of letters may choose TO pay not only
with his skin but in cash and credit for leave
to do his WOrk-tO say the thing he desires to
say This is perhaps not fair to himself or his
fellows but it is a law of his being, and as
such constitutes yet another handicap.
These are true words, for if they point TO an
unfairness they also point to 4 circumstance
that is, perhaps for some mysterious reason.
Inevitable Every one would wish to see the
poet or other artistic genius assured Of pros
perity for himself and his family. 1t is natural
to syInpathize with the feeling lately expressed
by MIR. Arthur SymOnS aprop0S Of the failure
of MOzarts contemporaries to make his life
comfortable at is the worlds curse and foul
crime he says, repeated age after age, that
no divine being is to be allowed to share in this
life the unearned portion Of the average man:
happineSS." Matthew Arnold touched the matter
with profOunder insight when, in one of the
nobicst of his poems he argued that the poet.
by virtue of his office, took his shoulders part
OF the worlds burden of pain and sorrow.

There is something delightfully."- droll about
the manner in which your casual Photographer
will sometimes undertake to shy his little pebble
at great figure in literature. Here is Mr.. c..
X Shorter abiding to Matthew Arn0ds strict
ures upon Shelley and paying his compliments
to the critic in this complacent fashion, "a
few years ago we took them seriously because
Matthew Arnold had become a great critical
force through the many telling things that he
had said in his first volume of Essays in Criti-
Csm. In his later years, however, Mr.. Arnold
had quite undermined his position as a critic,
and his absurd estimate of Shelley poet
and prose writer was of the main factors
that helped to this result. That is a lovely
phrase-.we took them seriously" In fact the
picture that presents itself to the imagination,
of Mr.. Shorter graciOusly approving Matthew
Arnold and then after mature consideration,
putting him in his place as diScredited critic,
is well calculated to make the world ch0rtie
with joy The author Of Essays in Criticism
will be remembered, we dare say, a very long
time after Mr.. Shorter has been forgotten. He
will be not only remembered but valued as j
living influence.

SUNDAY, JUNE Z, 1908.

The. difficulties in the way of organizing an
international celebration of Tolstoys eightieth
birthday continue to embarrass his friends. he
himself s,lppIies the chief obstacle. In a letter
made public by NJ Tchertkoff he recalls how
Tourgeneff wanted him to take part IN the
rusI,ilin Jubilee some thirty years ago. and, he
says. notwithstanding all my appreciation OF
and affection for TOurgenief at that time anu
the high and warm esteem | had and nave Tor
pushkins genius, l refused l knew L was
gricving Tourgeneff, but could not act other
wise because even then celebrations OF TINS
kind appeared to me something unnatural, L
shall not say false but not in harmony with my
inner demands" Therefore NJ. TchertkOH sug-
gests that. in the first place, Tolstoys Sympa-
thizers get together in groups and send MN
signed greetings, and secondly that If jubilee
fund is raised it be applied to the publication
In Russian of q definitve edition of his writ
ings If there is any money left over it mlSht
be used for a certain humanitarian purpose.
Tolstoy. rejecting all rights Of property, handed
over his estate to his family NJ Tchertkoff
suggests that quantity of the land at Yasnaya
PoIiana be bought from the family and trans
fcrred to the local peasants, who are, it seems.
that he could not protest against such plan
because by opposing it, "he would act too cruel

WILL MODIFY PLANS
Burnham Board Decides
That Architects Plans
Are Too Expensive.

At the meeting of the Burnham board
the bids received for the erection of
village hall was taken up and carefully
considered. There were three bids filed.
One by John Bronnicksen, South Chi
cago, $4,000; r. Zimmerman, West
Hammond. $3.50; ]. H. McClay, S6,73s,
as all these bids were above the archi-
tees estimates and in excess of the
amount of the contemplated bond issue
they were rejected, and committee re-
Instructed to consult Mr.. Hutton and re-
quest him to modify the plans, when the
building will be re-advertised. Presi-
dent Patton was the only one on the
board who was favored with an invi-
tatfon by the x. & E. railroad to take
the trip to South Bend over the G. L
is & S. B. railway yesterday which he
accepted.
The rest of the board are wondering
what they have done to the K. & E.
that they should be ignored. But say
that all they ask of the K & E. is
that they agree to do the right thing
by the village.
1t is said the road contemplate
the beginning of track laying from the
seate line westward in the near future
pany to furnish them a blue print
showing their plan of tracks and con-
nections The sewer question was de-
prived until the next meeting. 1t is
said that while nearly every one desires
a sewer system many of them prefer to
wait at least another year, or until
the water question is settled with
the City Chicago.
There is no doubt but what the work
could be done now at a lower price
than next spring but there is a prob
ability that by the time all legal re-
quirements are complied with 1t would
be too late to do the work this sea
son. The Burnham Land company are
! in favor Of the sewer being put in a
once. While the Canal & Dock com.
pany are not. But it is the small ta1
| payers, who reside in the village tina
the board would like to hear from il
the matter and would be pleased t
have them report their desires to som'
member of the board before the mex
meeting.
