ART AND POPULARITY

Did you ever, Mr. Average Man or Mrs. Aver age Woman, have shown to you picture which you saw nothing to admire?
 Did you ever hear music that you were told to adore, and in which you found nothing to create adoration?
 Did you ever have recommended to you a poem which you were commanded to enjoy, and in which you found nothing enjoyable?
 What did you do, in these circumstances? Did you blunty reply that you didn't even like the picture, because it didn't look like picture of anything? Did you fatly assert that you didn t like the music, because it didn't sound like music? Did you abruptly declare that the poem didn't interest you because it seemed artificial and pretentious beyond its deserts? If you took this stand, no doubt you were told, in ptying tone that it was because you didn't un- derstand the picture, the music and the poem, and because your taste hadn t been educated up to them. Then you felt duly humiliated and and forced yourself to pretend the ex- pected admiration of these works of art.
 It is more likely, however, that you concealed your disapproval of these works of art for fear of exposing your crudity of taste, and, like oth- CTS, dissembIed your real distaste in an over done ecstacy of manufactured delight. If you

in congress long enough to know what am talk ing about.
 'The most truthful report of the situation that l have seen appeared in LaFoIIet+e's mag azine of March 26 The article said in partc The effect of this contest in the house has been greatly exaggerated When the cheering and the excitement over the nominal defeat of Can non and his machine shall be succeeded by calm deliberation, the American people will inquire how much has really been won, how far afeld the standards of true representative govern ment have been advanced It will demonstrate that the system can be beaten. But it will be clearly understood that little was achieved be- sides the temporary humiliation of an old man of bad eminence, whose successor the system must, at all events, soon put forward.
 "' 'Cannonism without Cannon is just as hurt ful to the country as Cannonism with Cannon. The people must understand that Cannonism is a short definition of government by that system. Aldrich and Cannon would have little power for evil if a majority of the republican majority in both the senate and the house represented pub lie interest instead of special interests So long as the republican majority in the house serves the system it will make little difference whether or not Cannon is member of the committee on rules'
 ''I have only one thing to add," said Repre- sentative Cary "As between party solidarity and complete subservency to the trusts and special interests on one hand, and divided par ty and popular government on the other hand, must, speaking for myself forsake party solidarity. Quote me, if you wish. My inter views and votes in congress correspond"

 Special WashinCtop Correspondence.

''The special interests are just as much in the saddle in congress as they were before the rules were improved The fight put up by the in surgents and democrats was a step in the right direction, but Cannonism was not in any sense of the word throttled Cannon will rule the com mittee of ten just like he did the committee of five"
 Thus spoke William J. Cary of Wisconsin, one of the nine genuine republican insurgents of the house of representatives. Mir. Cary voted for the Norris resolution and he voted for the Bureson resolution declaring the office of the speaker to be vacant. He is progressive" republican, not in spurts, but all the to- day, tomorrow and next week.
 Cary was one of the twelve republicans who voted against Cannon for speaker when the house convened March 15, 1909, and he will be one of those who will vote against "Uncle Joe" when the latter is a candidate at the opening of the next house. Cary believes the Payne-Ald- rich bill was drawn for the special interests and not for the people. He registered his vote against it.
 'The enlargement of the committee on rules was victory, that is, one in name, but not in. substance" said Nlr. Cary to the writer. "A somewhat false construction has been placed on the situation. The proper test to apply is Will legislation desired by the people and Iegis- lation for the people, have a better opportunity to become law now than before the rules fght?' To that question I say, no, and no man who is qualified to answer will dispute my word The new committee on rules is dominated by the same influences that the old one was Whatever the old committee would have done, the new committee will do. Let those who doubt this view watch the situation closely. I have been

REPUBLICAN DISRUPTION

''Three cities in Maine go democratic! Re- pubcans overwhelmingly beaten in Massachu~ setts!"
 Such messages as these have awakened the republican leaders to a full realization of the sentiment of the country. They have at last taken cognizance of the political signboard which reads: "Stop! Look Listen!'
 President Taft has abored under the false be- lief that insurgency was practically confined to such states as Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas. Now it develops that insurgency extends from Maine to California. It appears in the former state in opposition to the reelection of Senator Hale Insurgency broke out long ago in Cali forna in the form of the Lincoln Roosevelt league. The republican party in Indiana is rent squarely by the same force that has divided it in Iowa and Kansas. Ohio, too, is in the throes of the malady. New York republicans are di- vided, and insurgency exists in every republican state in the unon The republican leaders have revealed a political blindnes that has been al most inconceivable, as regards their estimation of the proportions of the insurgency movement But now they see it, one and all. The regulars are trembling The average republican is will ing to admit, though perhaps not for pubica- tion, that the next house will be democratic Here are few of the straws which have each played part in awakening the republicans to realization of their peril
 The anti-rules outbreak in the house.
 The democratic landslide in the recent Four teenth Massachusetts congressional election, in which Eugene N. Foss, democrat, was victorious with a plurality of 5,640, as against a repub- lican plurality of ,250 only two years ago.
 The sudden departure of EX-Forester Clifford Pinchot for Europe, called there presumably by a cablegram from Roosevelt
 The reported refusal of James R. Garfield to run for governor of Ohio on the Taft policies
 The democratic victories in the local elections of Maine
 The 100 per cent gain made by Dickinson, the democratic candidate, over the plurality of the previous democratic candidate, in the Sixth Mis- souri congressional election.
 The result of the Success magazine straw bal lot, which showed 517 republicans approving, and 6,313 disappearing the attitude of Adrich (approved by the president) on the tariff.
 The reducing of the majority of the repub- lican governor of Massachusetts in an election in which the new tariff was the main issue, from 60,000 to 5000.
 How do the democrats view the situation? is asked. Chairman James T. Lloyd of the demo- cratic congressional campaign committee, be- leves the next house will be democratic But he believes it will be democratic only if the dem- ocrats throughout the country take advantage of their opportunities. Success will depend not only upon effective state organizations but upon the organization work in counties, cities wards and precincts.

did that, you promptly hunted up some other be- nighted individual and commanded him or her to admire and adore and enjoy the picture, the music, and the poem, plumng yourself upon your superiority as you did SO, and watching ghoulishly in the artificial ecstasies that your victim produces for the note of falsity that you knew existed in your own.
 If you have had these experiences, and have practised these deceptions, aren't you rather ashamed of them? Don't you think it would be better to be frank about such things? Even if frankness doesn't command the respect of your friends, it will command your own seIf-respect and nothing can compensate for the loss of that If you cant see why the picture that doesn't appear to be picture of anything, the music that doesn't sound musical and the poem that doesn't ring true are admirable, why not refuse to admire them, and say SO? If the picture needs to be explained to command admiration don't be too sure that 1t necessarily is a fine work of art. If the music needs a diagram and verbose description to be understood, don t be too sure that it necessarily is great music. If the poem can't be appreciated without pro- found exposition of it's merits to convince you, don't be too sure that it is a great poem. Lots of pictures, lots of musical compositions and lots of poems are held great only because a lot of self-deceiving pretenders play they think them great Nothing but moral cowardice prevents the exposure of these hollow mockeries of art and the diversion of public interest to works of real merit.
 If you lack the moral courage needed to be frank about these matters, and to confess your lack of appreciation, your willingness to learn and your refusal to admire just because you are told to admire, remember that Tolstoi has said on this subject:
 Nothing is more common than to
 hear it said of reputed works of art that
 they are very good but very difficult to
 understand. We are quite used to such
 assertions, and yet to say that work of
 art is good, but incomprehensible to
 the majority of men, is the same as say
 ing of some kind of food that it is very
 good, but most people can't eat it. The
 majority of men may not like rotten
 cheese or putrefying grouse-dishes
 esteemed by people with perverted
 tastes; but bread and fruit are only
 good when they please the majority of
 men. And 1t is the same with art. Per
 verted art may not please the majority
 of men, but good art always pleases
 every One
 Don't forget that: Good art always pleases everyone" Its remembrance will help you to resist the superclious arrogance of those who judge works of art acording to the number of people who do not like them and who approve nothing that peases the majority. Only don t get to thinking that a work of art is good be- cause it is popular. That isn't any more true than that work of art is good because it is un- popular.
