state capitol at Harrisburg, the vast
mural paintings that the death of Ed
win A. Abbey left unfinished Miss
Violet Oakley has been recognized as
Abbey's legitimate successor in Ameri-
can art as one of the greatest of mod
err mural decorators
She has been chosen to carry out the
most elaborate and the most costly
scheme of decoration of any public
building in America.
She is the only woman who has ever
been given such commission.
Yet Miss Oakley's early ambitions
lay entirely in the field of illustra ton,
and her attention was turned toward
decoration by the smallest of incidents.
She did a tiny color sketch. as her
first color experiment. when she was
studying under Howard Pyle in this
city, and some one remarked that it
had a strong decorative quality.
To Miss OakIeys surprise. she was
asked to try her hand at a stained
glass window design for a decorating
company in this city From the design
she received an order for the large
window in the Church Of All Angels

POWER BIPARTISAN

Hamilton, O., January 1.-The
great corporation power is bi-par-
tisan'' said Senator La Toilette in his
speech Saturday When it's leaders
were unable to elect enough Republi-
cans they found themselves able to
find enough Democrats to do their
bidding Then I discovered the folly
of trying to fight them on party line.
They had their interests in both par
ties In 1904 I found it best to try to
elect honest men, preferably Repub
icans. but Democrats if necessary.
But YOU know these things You know
you have not representative govern
ment here. A member of the Ohio leg
islature said to me that legislation is
sold in Columbus like cloth in a store.
You know that. The way out is what
you seek. l honestly believe that if
the legislature you elect would hon
estly try to return government to the
people these questions of control
would be ended

To Miss oakley there are two very
important things to be noted about
modern decorative work.
She believes that il has q great fu-
ture in America. probably greater than
in any other country And she be-
lieves that decoration has a higher
function than any other kind Of art
for decoration reaches more closely
than any other kind OF painting the
life of the people. It must Of neces-
sity illustrate the peoples ideal. IL
must embody something Of life. The
very fact that so much Of our great
decoration is in public buildings brings
it closer to the people than other kinds
of art. Like the buildings themselves,
