THE CRY OF POLITICS.

The Pioneer believes the Duluth
Evening Herald speaks most wisely
in the following words: :,
Though it is surprised that any
body should have raised this question,
The Herald hasn't the slightest hesi-
fancy in answering it most emphati-
cally in the affirmative. The North
ern Minnesota Development associa-
ton should by all means ask for an
extra session for the passage of re-
apportionment bill, and there should
be no division whatever on that ques-
ton. The vote for the resolution
asking it should be unanimous.
'The Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association was formed more to,
secure reapportionment than for any
other thing, because one of it's earliest
discoveries was that while it might,
by constant fighting, win concessions
from the legislature, it never could
hope to get full justice until it had
it's full, fair share Of the membership
Of the legislature.
IF the association ceases its fight
for reapportionment, it loses one OF

hemicycle hall Of the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art last Saturday evening. AS
a whole. the exhibition presents an I'M
pressive appearance, the pictures being
well hung and effectively colorful. Never.
in fact. has hemicycle hall presented a
more pleasing appearance. And when
examined separately the pictures sustain
the impression that the majority are not
only we'll rendered but attractive in COM
position. Six were sold almost imme-
diately. Two by Mr.. Moser. the president
of the club. January Thaw,' a snow
scene. painted with great breadth and
simplicity, and "Gray Day on the
Marshes" a subtle rendering OF half
life effect both enviable possessions. Two,
also. were by Mr.. Holmes, THE Haunted
Mill" a strong, pictorial landscape, some
what reminiscent of Constable and the
great English school, and "A Hurry Call
in the Harvest Field" picture of har-
vesters Fastening to forestall a shower
precipitous retreat. One was by Miss
Jackson, the other by Miss Sawtelle.
The wonder is that more have not found
purchasers, for water colorS are not ex-
pensive luxurieS, and yet they have an
intimacy which peculiarly suits them for

obstacle which con. .nually prevents the

If of sufficient size and strength to prove
impressive in large gallery they seldom
come within the range of house wall.
To be sure. water colers have not always
been regarded very seriously. The use of
the medium is comparatively modern-we
have no water colors by the old masters
Turner used them, of course, and in a
mastery fashion. but not as they are
used today.
In the Walters Gallery. Baltimore, one
may see some of the best of the early
water colors, works by Alma Tadema
Fortuny and others, exquisitely rendered,
but in the style of miniatures. 1t was
the Dutch who first gave real individu-
atty to the medium-Josef Israels now

Kever and others. They painted In broad

color and thereby gave their pictures
depth. tone and virility. Curiousy enough,
the novice can handle water colors better
than oils or, at least. more acceptably;
but it requires master to exhaust their
possibilities. Winslow Homer and Sar-
gent have produced great water colors. A
group of water colors by Homer has re-
Gently been purchased by the Metropoli-
tan Museum, New York: a collection of
Sargents was acquired more than year
ago by the Brooklyn Institute OF Arts and

No museum in this country has as yet,
however. assembled general collection

Nowhere in this country will one find
better water colorists than Mr.. Moser and
Mr.. Holmes of this city, Mr.. Dana and
Mr.. Dawson Of Philadelphia, Mr.. Dyer of
Providence or Mr.. Turner of Boston
Each handles the medium differently, but
all exceedingly we'll. The more important
paintings In this exhibition were reviewed
last Saturday, but attention may we'll be
called to the unusual merit of the still
life paintings shown. Halfway around
the semi-circular wall hangs a group of

fectiveness Of the panel occupying the
place of honor.

trance on the same wall are paintings of
roses by Mrs. Myron Davis Smith and
Miss Janette Messer. which are notable
for merit. and yet farther to the right are
more roses by Miss Wagner and Miss
Godding which commend themselves.
Anna G. Whittleton's ''Daffodils'' are
handsome and finely handled as are also
Miss Muhlhofer's "Jonquils." The two

Saunders, are more ambitious than any
of these and beautifully rendered, the re-

flower paintings is that In them is con-
served the spirit of the flowers: they do
not seem imperishable, artificial, but liv-

words. interpretations, not merely tran
scriptions: works of art, not Photographic
records Of facts.
The miniatures also are notable. Eda

him. He was born in Pittsburg, Pa, in
1859, the son of the Rev. Benjamin

exclusively to religious themes. He
