The annual exhibition of Indiana art
polls, is the most important held in the
state.
For by 1t can be judged the status of
production in Indiana since very few
of those exhibiting are resident
abroad.
This year the showing made Is in
teresting.
There Is lot of idle talk about art.
What constitutes it's inwardness, its
excellences and its meaning.
Artists themselves rarely discuss the
first and the last.
They are concerned chiefly with the
second.
The inwardness and the meaning are
dragged into the lists by the women's
clubs, college curriculums, connois-
seurs, alleged and otherwise, persons
on the still hunt for soul uplifts, teach
er's institutes and Chautauqua pro-
gram committees.
Art in any of it's phases was never
intended to mean anything.
Nor Is it constructed for the wrest-
ing forth of its inwardness.
Despite the Browning clubs.
Art, as stated the other day, is a so
lace for humanity-a refuge from the
tragedy of existence.
No one understands it.
Some occultly interpret 1t.
But the vaster number knows only
its effect.
1t is the one great, impersonal mani
festation of beauty. But partial re-
vealment. Binding glimpses Of that
perfect expression about which artists
dream and toward which humanity
vaguely yearns.
About the painting art there is end
less discussion.
There are fads, fancies, moods,
methods-and a few indestructible
facts.
But, in the end, it is the translation
Of light. line and color into terms of
intelligibility.
Although artists and their public do
not always agree upon the terms
through which that intelligibility is
made known.
Hence the latter's bewilderment
over the various new schools which
now and then rend the art world
with their alleged revolutionary meth.

The current exhibit of Indiana art
is remarkable for nothing save it's at
tempted virtuosities. Much talent and
even artistic erudition is evident but
is nullified by extravagances in tech
nique and bizarre use of color.
For, as said elsewhere, it is only the
very great who can indulge in paint.

Easily the most noticeable of the
younger artists is Clifton A. Wheeler.

you do not approve. You stay, how

But, curiously, Americans are not
successful in imparting the atmos-
phere-pagan or classic, or both or
either-which must make the nude
convincing.
That is, those resident here.
Our landscape, as well as our So
ciety, possesses a degree of unsophisti.
cation incredible and not understood
of the foreigner. That is the reason
many an artist of talent is spoiled, If
not entirely ruined-so far as the val
ue of his product is concerned-by a
course Of instruction in European
schools or a long residence in a cont
mental country.
The members of the "Hoosier
Group" are eminent examples of a CO.
terie of painters who returned to their
own state, after an extended sojourn
abroad, and, recognizing the impossi
bility of an amalgamation between
their foreign training and their native
environ, evolved a technique and
method as distinguished as it was sue
cessful in Interpretation.
The pictures of Steele, seen in the

present exhibition, stand forth as the
sanest and most convincing present
ment of our native Hoosier landscape
shown there.
Steele is an artist who uses color
with mastery restraint. And he puts
into his pictorial presentations OF ma
ture personal note, feeling of allur
ing intimacy with his subject which
overwhelms the spectator, also native
to the state, with certain poignancy
of kinship.
Wayman Adams, young portrait
painter who is attracting much atten-
ton, shows an interesting portrait of
George Calvert, an indianapolis con-
noisseur, which is much liked by both
the artists and the sitter's friends.
Adams has a down town studio and
is an attractive personality.
Studying abroad he. also. has return
ed to his home in Indiana to paint the
citizens of the state which he is doing
with eclat.
OF Riley he has painted two pictures
one owned by Booth Harrington and
highly esteemed by the author and
playwright-and another a curious
study-unpleasant in its realism, but
| fascinating in method
This artists portrait of Meredith
Nicholson is easily the most notable
canvas of the entire Indiana exhibit
ton.
| 1t is what the uncou' might call
"swagger'' in effect.
1t possesses distinction in pose,
treatment and conception of personal

And 1t is admirably painted-frm,
sure and direct as to brush-work and
with a certain translucency of flesh
tone. 1t gives the novelist's unfamiliar
profile to the public and, in. this,
might be called on the carpet as to
likeness-but it is merely one of those
curious physiological and psychology
cal aspects of facial topography, If it
can so be put, that is the battling ele-
ment in every individuality.
| Adams has also painted an admira-
BILE portrait of Booth Harrington, who
owns the first named picture of Riley

eulogistic in his expression of appre-

GARMENT WORKERS
Union STRONG

Washington. Jan. 20.--A. Rosenberg,
president of the International Ladies'
Garmenb Workers union. reports to
the membership that thirty new local
unions were formed during the year
1911 in the United States and Canada,
and that the membership is fast APP
preaching the 100000 mark. Mr.. Ros-
enberg reviews the efforts Of the or
g~anization during the year in his re-
port and also makes some observations.
He says is part, as follows: ''The
union is now strong and vigorous de-
spite internal disharmony of a tempo
rary nature, due to some militant
spirits who are, however, cooling down
and becoming more practical. During
the year 1911 we have extended our
activities in various directions. While
WI have not as yet reaped all the fruit
OF our laborss we have nevertheless
cut deep burrows into heretofore un-
titled soil. In the coming year we hope
to pursue our course of organizing and
improving the lot of the workers IN our
trade under fewer difficulties and OBJ
stacles. Surveying the future from the
progress achieved last year. we look
forward with much confidence to q
great future for our international I'M
ion.s

CAR men
FORM new LODGES

Washington, Jan. 20.-The Brother
hood Of Railway carmen, during Mo-
yember and part of December, 1911,
organized ten new lodges 1T the fol-
lowing places: Enderlin, N. D.;
Whiteish, Mont; HilIyard, Wash;
Leavenworth, Wash; Graham, On
tario. Can; Toilette, Quebec, Cam;
Douglas, Ca; Brunswick, Ca; Tampa,
Fla. and Waycross. Ga. The brother
hood also renewed its agreements
with the following railroads: The st.
Louis San Francisco & Texas, the FIT.
Worth & Rio Grande. "A substantial
increase in pay was obtained and
greatly improved working conditions.
The agreements run for one year, sub
Ject to change by a thirty days notice
from either party. The brotherhood
also effected an agreement with
S.. L. Schoomaker and H. M. At
kinson, receivers for the Atlanta

which the nine-hour day was secured,
improved working conditions institute
ed and a satisfactory increase in pay
secured for the car men,. inspectors and

VERSUS
EUROPEAN ROADS
RAILWAYS OF THIS COUNTRY
HAVE THE BEST OF 1T AND
WELL PAID LABOR BRINGS THE
GREATEST RETURNS in THE
END.

According to the Pittsburg Post fg-
ures compiled and published recently
disclose the fact thai upwards Of
1,750,000 persons are in the employ Of
American railroads at the present
time. Assuming each represents a
family of four or five, approximately
5000, 900 people are dependent for food,
clothes and shelter upon the railway
pay envelope. And since $42 Of of
every $1,000 a railroad earns goes to
labor, 1t is easy to figure that the an
nuaI payroll Of American railroads
amounts to the tidy sum of $1,172,181,-
600, says The Railway World.
In addition to the immediate family
Of the railroad employee there is, also,
quite an army of other persons who
have interest in the. disposition Of rail-
road employees wages. But how about
his pay? If he Is a clerk of the gem
eral office class he averages a wage
of $2.3S per day; if he is a station
agent he win average s2.13; If he is q
fireman he viii draw around $2.47; IL ne
is an engineer he gets $4.59 a day; and
If a conductor his average is 1928. IL
he is merely a trackman, Of whom

railroads, his average wage per day
is $l.47.
With more than double the number
of employees the railways Of Europe
and Siberia pay $135, 100000 less to
their employees than do the railways Of
the United States, and many Of the
European railways are under the gov
eminent ownership principle. whereas
the railways of the United States are
privately owned.

eral, he says, are poorer. than what
can be found upon American railways,
day coaches here being equal to what Is
called the nest equipment on English
railways. The only thing in when
there is favorable. comparison is the
roadbed, which is smooth and firmly
settled, so that speed with light equip
ment becomes possible. There is al
way.
Passenger rates average about A
cents a mile and freight rates are
higher than in this country. There is
considerable water competition be-
tween the large cities, but as these only
have short hauls, 1t does not effect
rail rates. Train crews are paid less
in wages than in the United states,
seldom receiving more than $40 or $50
per month for engineers and less for
trainmen. frequently the crews ron
sist of only an engineer. fireman and
conductor. The latter handles switches
and performs all the work outside of
an engine. The engines are without
cabs and the crews are exposed to
the elements, al in the early days OF
~railroading in America. Trains seldom
are equipped with air brakes, except
those or the engines, and the average
capacity Of freight cars is about sew
en- tons.
Even with the higher rates for
both freight and passenger transpor-
tation it is doubtful says Mr.. Holden,
whether English railroads would pay
any dividends If employees received as
much pay as those in America. They
are highly capitalized and all expenses
must be kept at a minimum"
In Germany Mr.. Holden found trans
p~ortation facilities much better, and Of
European countries more nearly ap-
preaching the efficiency of those in
this country.

OISMANTLING THE
PRODUCTS SHOW
BIG SHOW or STRICTLY HOME
PRODUCTS WAS WELL ATTEND.
ED AND DID MUCH eoop-ouT.
SIDE VISITORS PLEASED WITH
EXHIBITS.

The local manufacturers were busy
this morning dismantling their booths
at the home products show which was
held this week in the old Everhart
Candy building opposite the Gardner
hotel on Roberts street. Without
doubt this was one OF the biggest
events Of the week, and its marvellous
success is even surprising to its most
optimistic and enthusiastic supporters
in the commercial club.
Secretary Slime has received many
compliments fer his hard labors in
regard to this show and has pulled off
one of the biggest things that has
ever been ATTEMPTED in the city of
Fargo. The whole show was a rev
citation to the people of Fargo. Many
had no idea that so many things were
manufactured in this city and it has
given the visitors q more comprehen-
sive realization of the real Importance
Of the metropolis Of their state.
1t was the general consensus OF
opinion among all the delegates who
gathered in the city to attend the nu-
merous conventions of the week that
Fargo stood out alone as a comnAer-
ciaIs center I'M the state, and ii was
a city Of which eYHrw loyal North
Dakotan IL proud. No longer will
there be an doabt as K the activl-
ties of Fargo business men, as they
have clearly demonstrated just what
they can do to promote the interest
Of the city as well as their own.
Another home products show will be
given next year at the same time.
during the busy week Of the season.
X will be hoped that BY that time
the city will have a good sized audi
toriuna that will easily accommodate
a good audience. It was demonstrate
ed that n is needed in Fargo. as the
theatres were all filled with various
meetings during the week as well as
other meeting pieces, such as the
commercial club assembly rooms, AS
sembly hall, Sons Of Norway temple,
Masonic temple and many other
places.

The machinists on the eastern lines
of the Canadian Northern railway en-
ployed at Montreal Can, secured an
increase Of 3 cents per hour, by direct
negotiations with the management Of
