line with the European capitals. Take,
for example, the works OF the Old mas
ters. Not only are there collections Of
these Of very great importance In the
METROPOLITAN Museum, the galleries Of
the Hispanic Society, and those Of the
New York Historical Society," but the
shops of the New York dealers have be-
come 80 many clearing houses for the
MASTERPIECES Of ancient art that come an
pually into the market. In these smaller
galleries there are held from September
TO June a phenomenal number Of exhibit
tons which, besides old masters, show
forth the works Of al the modern schools.
They contain also the paintings and
sculptures Of our native artists, thus sup
p,ementing the large miscellaneous dis
plays made by organizations IKE the
Academy of Design, the Architectural
League, the Water Color Society, the
Sculpture Society, the Salmagundi club
and so on. In New York also the auc-
ton sales of works OF art have taken on
an importance easily comparable TO that
OF the great sales in Paris and London.
In short, the art student who comes to
New York has only to make use OF the

ART STUDY IN NEW YORK

II has long been the characteristic am
bition Of the young American art student
TO pursue his studies In Paris. He ana
she, too, will always feel that there Is
something to be had in certain European
centres which cannot be obtained any
where else In the world. The mature ar
list. who has been there himself. ana
knows, will admit with a smile OF under
standing that his enthusiastic juniors are
cutie right. YES" he will say. there
are some conditions abroad which are
undcniably delightful and inspiring. The
atmosphere OF the art world there mas
an exhlaration all its own. But, my
Young friends. as / understand IT, your
idea is that you would like TO learn how
TO paint II that is the case, why In the
name OF all that is reasonable do you
want TO so to Europe? Why don't you
stay home? You can get the soundest
kind of teaching right here In New York.
The art student who is not dabbling IN
the subject for mere amusement but
really wants 10 make progress In his pro-
fession will take these words 10 heart.
New York is extraordinarily well sup

United States grounds for denouncine

posals to increase duties one hundred

ANSN Err: Russia, or, to be more
precise the Russian government has
not yet expressed any intention of
applying reprisals towards goods of
American origin. The proposals for
reprisals originated in various quar-
tiers. hut the government has not vet
indicated in any manner its attitude

The Chance for Key West.

Have you noticed the varying ways
in which newsp1 pers lay claim to in
terest in the Flagler railroad to Key
West? New York and philadelphia
refer 10 the manner in which n Leg
islature vas purchased to end marital
difficulties. Boston rejoices because
now it is only "A hours from Hav-
ana. and so on. But Maine boasts
of the man who built the road. En-
eineer PARROT was Pire Tree boy
and he has converted Key West, once
chiefly a settlement Of wreckers, into
the possible site of a great city.
Ire railway enterprise was as dar-
ing as any of the wonderful engip-
eering feats of an age of progress.
II is most interesting TO note that
this town of unsavory reputation,
KEY West, has held a city charter
since 1s32. and is still peopled largely,
as then. by those who survive as
much upon the misfortanes as upon

Perhaps the board of economy and

that the revenue cutter service be
abolished was really working at some
sort of n consolidation of the marine
services and it must be admitted that
there are quite VI variety. There is
the regular navy, revenue cutter,

is little danger of the cutter service
being abolished. Although the whole

Beer a Commodity.

ztMdncheSter Non)
The supreme court of the United
States has to deal only with the
law as it's members understand it..
So. when a ease came before it in
Volving the question Whether a rail
read, being a common carrier. could
be required to carry beer from one
state To another and even in a dry
county iii the state, it WAS compelled
to render a decision according To its
understandings of the law as il stands.

no way responsible for the news

decision was announced, such as

and sincerely, hut the fact remains
that the court could find no reason
for considering beer any less a COM
modify than potatoes or iron and
steel. 1t is the business of the rail-
roads 10 carry commodities. and
railroad cannot lac permitted to dis
crimnate. The ease before the SUI
premo court, which has now been
decided. grew out of the fact that
the state Of Kentucky has a law pro-
hibiting the transportation of intoxi-
eating beverages into it's dry coun-
ties. 1t is obviously reasonable that
ii a county votes to be dry. it should
be permitted to be So, and there
is no question that Kentucky had a
perfect right TO enact such a law,
in so far as transactions within its
own limits were concerned. But a
brewery in Indiana attempted to ship
consignment of beer to dry
county in Kentucky. and the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad. having
the state law in mind. refused TO
carry it. Then followed suit by
| the brewery people and the slow
progress of the case through the fed
eral courts. The decision was uni
formly the same, and has now been
sustained by the highest court in
the land. The decision is that trans
actions wholly within the state are
governed by the statute. But beer.

eventually have bearing upon the
right Of community. whether town,
county or state, to protect its eth
zens from the curse OF Intoxicating

entity, reliance must be placed rather
upon argument, reason and persua-
sion. and the education of the peo-
pie. to refrain from that which only
harms themselves and causes untold
suffering and loss to those dependent
on them. The Louisville and Nash
vile and other railroads must carry
commodities in interstate traffic. and

The Way We Look at Laws.

The object of the law against con-
cealed weapons in various states, Is
TO do away. SO far as possible. with
brain storm Notwithstanding and
s.abbing in sudden frenzy OF temper
One never knows what to expect, if It
person OF ungovernable temper has
weapon about him.
The law against the carrying OF
concealed weapons interferes with
the personal liberty Of thousands
Of people, who feel that they have
the right of self defense in carrying
something with Which to defend
themselves. They have control of
their own tempers. hut they fear the
army of thugs that is constantly re-
of the Old World. Yet no one thinks
of calling the concealed weapons law
sumptuary.
Some sections prohibit the sale of
dangerous weapons. The prohibition
does not prohibit but it lessons the
evil; and no one calls this law sump
tuary
But when a law prohibits the sale
of stuff that robs even the best of
and puts them in mental readiness
to commit any sort of crime, ii is
characterized as sumptuary by those
financially interested in the deadly
stuff.
In case of the weapons, the desires
of the people are restrained by law
both as to buying and to selling, be-
cause the business is a public menace
and requires police powers for regu-
lation. In case of the liquor traffic

the makers and sellers, although a
