"HAVINe EYES THEY SEE NOT"
How Few There Are who Apply the
Knowledge They Painfully
Acquire.

In spite of the emphasis that up-to-date
pedagogy lays upon the training OF the
powers of observation. IL remains true that
the average man is decidedly binder than
the much-maligned bat to the details of
almost every picture in natures gallery,
whether by land or sea or sky.
Suppose q new star, as bright as Sirius,
made its appearance in Bootes, or andre
media, or Cygnus. Suppose Sirius himself
vanished from the armament How many
people would notice the change in the
celestial picture? Suppose, by some stu
pendous miracle, all the stars were shifted
about, like the bits OF glass in a kaleido-
scope. and grouped in new consultations.
How many men of the class that calls it.
self educated" would. from personal OBJ
servRtion. gather the slightest mixing OF
what had taken place?
What proportion of the community, be-
yond schoolboy age, can tell the order of
the colors OF the rainbow? Most of us once
acquired this bit OF information from a
book, and speedily forgot It; for the infor-
nation was never verified and fixed in
our minds by an examination OF the rain
bow itself
Vicarious observation is an indolent
habit common to all glasses. Scientific men
are prone TO 1t. Even painters. who. so to
speak. live by their eyes, are, as Rusl0n
has vehemently told us. blinded by con
vention TO the most obvious facts OF ma
ture. The lessons OF Ruskin, and OF others
who have preached sincerity in art need
to be reiterated today. The crescent moon
is still frequently painted with her horns
turned 10 the west, Notwithstanding the
fact that this particular piece of imbecility
on the part Of the artists has been de-
nounced again and again. The midnight
sky is stil shown with its stars scattered
about wherever the caprice OF the artist
chooses to put them. To one who knows
the constellation no amount OF beauty in
the ensemble can save the effect of snch
a picture from being grotesque. As well
represent a heard of cattle adorned with
wings, or the Madonna with a superfluous
nose.
Frank conventionalizing is well enough.
No one expects the flowers In a wall paper
pattern 10 have much in common with
those depicted in botanical text books. But
art that aspires TO be more than decoration
cannot prOfitably dispense with the l7nowl-
edge derived from accurate observation.
The distinction lies IN the fact that the
conventional design does not pretend "a
portray nature, while the painting OF i'm
possible moons and stars does; and We are
repealed by the display OF the artists is
norance. or perhaps by what We feel to be

is enough cocaine in these soft drinks to
give something of the stimulating and
exhilaratng effects that cocaine always
gives.
1T is not uncommon" says DR.. Kebler,
ito find persons addicted to the use of
indicated soft drinks. 1t is a well known
fact that many factory employees stenog-
raphers typewriters and others subject to
mental or nervous strain spend a part of
their earnings for drinks of this character.
Parents, as a rule, withhold tea and
coffee from their children, but having no
knowledge Of the presence of cocaine, caf-
feline or other deleterious agents in soft
drinks, they unwittingly permit their chill
dren to be harmed by their use.'

Some of our poets appear to think that he
is, to all intents and purposes, the same
thing as the meadow lark-they are botn
'1arks." This is like expecting pineapples
to grow on pine trees.
Nature lies close about us, from infancy
to old Age Books are not wanting to en-
able us to intercept her. In fact the lit
erature of nature is just now enjoying an
unprecedented vogue. The books are in
dispensible, even If they serve us no other
purpose than to supply us with our vocab-
ulary-to enable US to name what we see
But let us not trust to books alone, or
chiefly. Let us use our eyes.
Let us apply the great art of observation
instead of merely preaching about it.

Marching Through Georrin.

Other war songs as popular as Wake

were composed by Work. were Babylon
Has Fallen and Marching Through
Georgia" This latter was written near
the close OF the war and commemorated
sherman's march to the sea- and is said to
have eXerted powerful influence in keep
ing alive hope and courage in the army.
II was for a long period a favorite song at
Grand Army OF the Republic meetings and
was usually sung whenever sherman was
near enough to hear It. until at last the
general grew so heartily tired Of il that II
had to be discontinued at GATHERINGS where
he happened to be present 1t ran:

But these facts are meagre in COM
parison with those which will be ne
hand by the time congress reassembles
In December. The same situation ex-
lists with respect TO the cotton sched-
uIe.
II the president were to approve the
wool and cotton bills, passed during the
present session, HE action, he is UNDER
stood TO balieve, would be blow AT the
tariff board from which 1t probably
never would recover. For personal
political advantage he would bring 10
naught the Jealous labors OF govern
mental body created solely for the pur-
pose OF dealing with this subject He
would say, in effect, that the board
was OF no value, that the reform for
which the people worked was one uu-
worthy OF existence and that the good
old time OF tariff log rolling should be
restored
Germany and Austria realized, years
back, that science should be applied 10
tariff revision. They organized boards
to this end. The result today is that
these countries have tariffs which
operate TO the best interests OF the
country as whole.
Charge by the PfoEressiyes
The Dshlot rats :slstsHtly opposed
: tariff board. The progressives earn
estly advocated 4 tariff commission
with comprehensive powers. The
tariff board was the COMPROMISE. This
board is not satisfactory to the progress
sives, but IL is at least step forward.
The administration thinks ii strange
that the progressives should take any
action inimicial to the reform for
which they fought.
Under the circumstances, the presi-
dent does not feel that he can abandon
the tariff board. This means he will
veto the tariff bills which it is pro-
posed to pass. Next December he will
incorporate, ia his annual message, the
findings OF the board with respect to
the wool and cotton schedule.

Even more complicated in Its polits-

by the Senate Thursday afternoon In

days there has been rumors of various
kinds that the Democrats and Republi-
can prOgsessives would unite in passing
q compromise bill. However, as the
substitute. suggested by Senator La
Toilette, did not meet with approval,
the feeling became general that these
two political elements would not be
able to get together. The final out
come was compromise measu re, that
seemed to meet the differences of opin-
lon existing between the Underwood
bill and the LaFollette substitute.
This was offered by the Senator from
Wisconsin and was passed by vote of
48 to 3D. AS the wool revision bill now
stands it must 60 to conference, where

Next Congress viii Be Bmsy Ome
Someone has been trying to figure
out what the next Congress Is likely TO
do. Upon one thing only does there
seem 10 be any agreement OF OpIniOn,
and that lie that everybody will want to
raise the shutters, here in Washington
10 time for the meetings OF the Nation
al Conventi)as next summer. La the
meantime there are q lot OF bOOns that
need cultivatinR. In this connection
most everybody In congress is lnteres-
ested. In the senate Mr.. LaF'ollette is
likely candidate for the Presidency,
while in the house Speaker Clark is
seeking Democratic preferment. The
affairs in different states involving the
election Of q new congress, are in them
selves sufficient TO hasten congress- 70
finish It's labors along next June. With
all the tarif revision to be handled
and reports OF all lhe Investigations
now under way, II appears very ligely
that the next congress will be rather
unusual busy and interesting one.
