The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-12-14
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.


We hear a lot about the Quest of
the Holy Grail"
And of the Arthurian tales.
or Sir Galahad, of Launcelot and
Elaine.
We vaguely feel that it has to do
with the days of chivalry and knight
hood and of the long ago.
We remember to have read Tenny-
sons poem.
But it is Swallowed forth Indefinite
~.
The man who has concretized this
for use more positively perhaps than
has anyone else, however, is Edwin
Abbey.
Abbey, the great American artist,
long resident in England, who took
the Arthurian legend for the subject
Of his series of mural pictures for
the Boston Public library.
No doubt many persons in this city
have seen the originals in that build
ing
Splendid paintings in the grand
manner and of hypnotic richness of
color.
These are among the now famous
mural paintings Of the. world.
In the course of time they will be
known as we'll as is the Sistine Ma
donna
The story of the Holy Grail is too
well known to repeat-but Abbey's
paintings illustrate that recorded by
Sir Thomas Mallory.
THE Holy Grail" is the cup or re-
ceptacle from which Christ drank at
the Last Supper.
And Sir Galahad, son of Launcelot
and Elaine, and a descendent of 10
seph of Arimathea who took the cup
and held it by the cross the while
Christ's blood dripped into it's bowl,
was destined to find and restore it.
To those who have not seen the Ori
ginals, and indeed to those who have,
the Curtis-Cameron prints now on ex-
hibit in the public art galleries will
be interesting.
These prints given an excellent
conception of the originals.
The latter, indeed, lend themselves
very readily to the color printing pro-
cess from their warm, rich tone.
Red predominates.
The robe of Sir Galahad is red
symbolizing purity-the purity of ex-
perience and not ignorance.
And this color is woven in and out
of the fabric of the story and it's paint
ed presentation like the motif in
Wagnerian musical epic.
The pictures are, indeed, epic in
character
And irresistibly remind of the pres
entaticn of ''Parsifal," whose story
follows the spirit of the Arthurian le-
gends.
Abbey was one of the greatest ar
lists this country has yet produced
His art was delicate and refined
one and was at it's apogee in his illus
trationS of the Shakesperean dramas.
AS draughtsmsn he was superb.
And as colorist inimitable.
In viewing these prints one should
bear in mind their raison d'etre.
Or, rather, the purpose for which
the originals were painted.
The art of the mural painter is not
that of the easel.
Inc one decOrateS great wall spa
ces whose architectural environs
must be considered in the painters
conception.
The other is confined to the canvas,
which, no matter what size, is small
in comparison.

The House committee on rules has

tations into the so-called money, ship
ping and harvester trusts. The COM

After Postmaster General Hitchcock
had been in conference with President
Taft for more than an hour, an au-
thoritative statement was made at the
White House that there had been no
friction between the President and the
postmaster general over the latter's
recommendation that the government
acquire and operate all telegraph lines
as an adjunct of the postal system.
The House judiciary committee or
dered favorably reported the Henry
resolution changing the date of the
presidential Inauguration from March
4 to the last Thursday in April and
the terms of representation in Con-
gress to begin the second Tuesday in
January instead of March 4. These
change would be effective April, 1917,
and January, 1918, respectively. The
resolution would provide for extension
of the term of the President and vice
president elected in 1912 to the last
Thursday of April, 1917.

Division of opinion as to the policy
to be pursued by the bituminous and
anthracite coal miners unions of the
country in attempting to enforce de-
mand for higher wages appeared
among the leaders of the United Mine
Workers of America when the annual
convention opened in Indianapolis.
The question to be brought before the
convention is whether individual dis

new wage contracts with mine owners
as they can be negotiated, or whether
the miners as national organiza-
ton shall refuse to sign any contracts
until the operators of all the districts
have agreed to the miners terms.

THE BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.

In the national Republican conven-
lion OF 1908. a resolution 10 appor-
ton delegates TO succeeding Repub-
lican conventions on the basis of the
Republican vote in every state. was
defeated by a narrow majority. The
Intelligencer believes that such a reso-
luton ought to be presented in the
Chicago convention. and ought to be
carried. There is no reason. injustice
or sense for a few hundred or a few
thousand Republican voters in a
southern state TO exercise as much
power in a nominating convention as
ten times the same number OF Re-
publican voters in a northern state.
The Intelligencer has no particular
sympathy with the crusade that is
being carried on by such newspapers
as Golfers. TO show the character OF
the southern representation in the
Chicago convention. Four years ago.
eight years ago and twelve years ago
the same condition OF affairs pre-
vailed every day. Four years ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt used the southern dele
gales and the southern Republican
machine 10 control the Chicago con
vention against the expressed wish OF
a large majority Of the delegates rep
resenting Republican states Now
that these same delegates are being
used against him he and his adher-
ents are sending up a mighty wall.
What is sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the gander The men
who run the steam roller actively ana
continuously. should maintain de.
cent silence when hey happen to get
fattened out.
Entirely apart. however. from the
individual candidates.. the propriety
OF limiting the southern representa-.
ton in the national convention is too
apparent 10 need argument. Let the
convention be made representative OF
the Republican voters OF the United
States. Let the scandal OF office hold
ing delegations from states that never
cast a Republican electoral vote be
wiped out. and let the strength of
these states I'm the national conven
ton be limited 70 their real voting
strength.
