American Illustrators.

The American illustrations-the H.
lustrations Of our numerous best
sellers" and other stories of shorter
length-have noticeably improved in
quality in the last few years. The H.
lus,rator has slowly but surely forged
ahead Of his old class and the average
work Is much higher than formerly.
The illustrator Is learning that his H.
Illustrations have not always Illus
trated either In their adherence to
the printed text or in method Of
technique used in portraying his con.
ception. He is learning that an Illus
tration of any real value must not
only illustrate. but that his work
must have artistic value. With neither
Of these necessary features, It is. Of
course. worthless to the public. and
IL 1t be merely an accurate illustra-
ton. merely line or brush descrip-
tion Of scene or single thing. the

the house.

was taken up in the morning session
and was finished in the afternoon
Representative Hicks said that the
amendments offered by the election
committee were not Objectionable to
him. with the exception that he would
Ike some OF them explained. He ex.
planned that the secret ballot provision
contained by the bill had raised in his
mind question of constitvtionality
until he read a recent decision Of the
Wisconsin Supreme Court on that sec
ton, in which the secret ballot was
upheld. The provision for it in the
Hicks bill is identical with the Wis
consin section.
The amendments were then offered
and adopted. The most important ones
are: That each candidate for office
must have separate petition; that
members Of the General Assembly are
exempted from the provision requiring
national. state or district officers of
districts larger than counties to have
