once upon a time there was an artist
who did not think it worth while to paint
the material world and so he essayed to
paint the human soul. Those who are
curious to find out how he went about
it and whether or not he succeeded can do
so by reading this story. The book deals
mainly with the abstruse phase of art
love and life.

and afterward into CRIME and muck.

Something more than mere unskill in the job has been at fault
in this case and a resolute search for the real cause of delay may dis

me statement was doubtless quite true. That a Unionist should
call every American dollar contributed to the Redmond campaign fund
a demoraizing force, and every American contribution to the Unionis
side an edifyng force, is quite natural. That is human nature and pol
iis the world over.
The interesting point is that the open use Of American money on
either side appears to have had no great effect on the voters. The
cry against the dollar Dictator didn't hurt the Liberals, nor did
the retort against the American source of ducal fortunes hurt the
Tories.
The British public, in fact, seems to believe that American golt
is never tainted. They are willing to take it with both hands.

not fitted to be either the leader of his party or Speaker Of the House.
The old saying, "He serves his party best that serves his country
best" is not a mere epgram nor an empty sentimental phrase. 1t is
he expression of a political truth that has been demonstrated many
times in our history, and more than once since Mr.. Clark has been
in politics.
The demand for a reduction Of tariff taxes on food and clothing
was not a mere campaign cry to catch Votes. 1t was the demand Of a
real need on the part of the people. 1t is the duty of every Repre-
sentative in Congress to vote for tariff reductions at once. To post
pone action for a year will be a poor way Of gaining credit for the
Democratic party or for the leaders of the party.
