ART INCENTIVE TO MOB VIOLENCE.

The attack on Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan by
florentine mob, because it was rumored that he
was taking famous work of art out of the
country. is interesting as showing the funda-
mental difference In Anglo Saxon and Euro
pean temperament. There is deal of art In
America which has been imported as it were by
the square yard but no mob would fight for it
England grumbes. but remains peaceful when
the audacious millionaire purchases the price
less heirlooms from her ancestral halls. But
France was thrilled to the bottom at the loss
OF the Mona Lisa and the bare suggestion that
La Gaconde was in Florence and being bar
gained for set the populace dangerously wild,
Imagine, even in those parts OF America where
the people can most easily be melted to indulge
in lynching bees. suggesting mob violence to
revenge assault upon painted picture
1t is Just this difference. OF course. in popu-
lar interest and education in art and literature
that tends to keep the Western civilization
backward In artistic expression. Except in the
case of the miracle OF genius. artistic sense Is
the product OF heredty and talent growing
stronger it finds reproduction through
breathing and gazing on masterpieces OF art,
even the genius is much more likely to happen.
and the men OF talent are, OF course wonder
fully more numerous. The worlds greatest

ings. the great songs. the great books, the
masses of the European countries have an affec-
ton that is reverence. Whereas in America
nine men out of ten had never heard of Mona
Lisa until she was stolen. and nine out of ten
OF those who knew there was such painting
in the Louvre had no idea what she looked like
| until they saw her face in the papers Nat
uraity so long as these conditions remain, the
purchases OF Mr. Morgan and other rich Amer
! leans can avail to do nothing beyond tickling
the Yankee pride of dollars
! Such defect is in part an incident of
national youth. but 1t is also in the character
o: the people themselves. 1t is helped alons

architecture. Because this country has its cen
trail interest In finance and industry it Is i'm
portant that lopsided development be cor
rected by something of the broadening influence
Of love and understanding OF the beauty and
poetry that art nnds In life To this end Mr.
Morgan and his fellow millionaires could great
" contribute. were they to pay less attention
to piling up imported art in empty galleries.
and more toward providing the people with the
opportunity OF catching in their daily life the
inspiration to think in some other terms than
those OF bread and butter. How this il to be
done We do not know. But 1t certainly will
not be achieved by secret traflcng for the
Mona Lisa. or by outraging European suscepti-
bilities by tempting poverty -stricken owners OF
masterpieces to part with what the people con-
slider q patriotic trust.

HIGH ooNpInMENr no OLSON.

The democratic county committee
of Mercer county has endorsed the
candidacy of former Mayor Andrew
Olson Of Moline for the democratic
nomination for secretary of state,
thus paying q handsome and well
deserved compliment to Mr.. Olson.
There is, of course, every reason
to think that Mr.. Olson will get fine
endorsement at the hands of the
democrats of Rock Island county in
the primary election, not only be-
cause OF his personal worth and fit
ness for the ONCE which he seeks,
but because OF his personal popular
ity throughout the county.
Mr.. Olson's nomination and cleo
ton to the once OF secretary of state
OF Illinois would bring to the county
OF Rock Island an honor most worth
lily bestowed, and the opportunity
should not be overlooked by demo.

PREVENTiON PREFERABLE.

The concessions which ended the
long, costly, bloody and shocking
strike at Lawrence would have pre-
vented II. II the mill owners had
given the workers in the mills, with
out trouble or threat OF trouble, what
they have now granted. there would
have been industrial peace and many
cruel and shameful events would not
have taken place.
In this case prevention would have
been better for the mill owners than
cure. IL would have saved the coun-
try from a shameful and shocking
experience and Il would have hidden
many things which will not be for
gotten when the nation has occasion
10 deal with the interests that con-
troll the Lawrence mills, and must
bear the responsibility for the la
inevitable conditions which have exist
ed in the mill district there.

huenee be felt and it's warnings be

tryI

THE GOOD OLD FRAN.

When Amundsen returns from his
forthcoming voyage into the arctic
regions, his ship. the Fran, should be
preserved for future generations to
admire. Il is not very pretty and
Il 10 not fast, but II was built for q
certain purpose and how IL has ac-
complished II is shown by the fact
that as far as present records go, II
has penetrated farther north and
farther south than any other vessel
that ever explored the polar wastes.
Sailors and those closely in touch
with maritime affairs would feel It
q sacrilege 10 permit Il to rot in
some foul, neglected corner of a har-
Dor. or 10 end its days in the FISH
cries or as feight lighter. No HUI
man contrivance so gives the I'm
preston that IL is a thing Of life and
Intelligence as a ship, especially a
sailing vessel. Sailors feel this IN
ltensely and so think and speak of
the craft that bear them through
storm and fair weather, far out from
land.

thusiasm over the recent feats of
POLAR research, but the contrary is

WHEN everything about the place

When things are just about as bad

When every one is IN the dumps,
And none pauses to be kind
Or tries to make the tangles straight,

You know how some days run along
Contrary as a team of n,uies,
When not q thing is in its place.
Nor can lay hand on my tools,
And everything do Is wrong,
And all the fates are dumb and blind,
So when view the ruin wrought
It puts me in q frame of mind.

A poem or an epigram.

And as expressive as q clam

And as read the doggerel

wOOLEY- o
Now, / call that a pretty good in
vention for rainy days" quoth the man
with the blond mustache, even If l
did think Of it myself"
He thrust out one foot and pridefully
regarded the entrousered neither limb.
Looks Just like an ordinary trouser
leg, doesn't it?'' he queried. But look
here"
He lifted the skirt Of his coat and
revealed that what appeared to be his
regular trousers were reilly an extra
pair Of trouser legs fastened near the
hips to the real garment.
"You know fellow always gets wet
around his ankles, even when he wears
a raincoat," he explained. And If you
turn up your trousers at the bottom,
the water Just collects in the folds and
also percolates down into your shoes.
So I thought out this scheme.
81 had these trouser legs made OF
rainproof cravenette so that could
pull them over my regular garment.
You see they are made extra long so
they fall over the instep of my shoes.
No rain can soak through below my
raincoat now, and I'm safe from rheu-
matte twinges as a consequence.
When / get down to my Office sim
ply slip off those extra affairs, and
there l am, spick and span-no mud
no wetness, all ready for business"
"Preftv pood-fOr a man" OuOth the
woman in the yellow raincoat. 81
think I have a pretty good scheme fol-
myself, however. 1t isn't original
some other woman thought of it first
But | find it immensely practicable.
See there!" and she lifted her long
coat enough to show what seemed tc
be an abnormally short dress skirt.
well, my skirt isn't really as short
as that. I've simply fastened banC
/ of wide elastic, with a hook and eye
around my hips and pulled my skirts
%up over It. The elastic holds then
/ firmly, and l don't have to give {
thought to bedraggled skirts. AS yol
see, l wear high boots to protect m!
legs from the wet, to say nothing o
wearing a rubber coat that comes dow
to my ankles"
But none of you amt thought o
nothing to take the place of an um
brella," remarked a wet-looking by
stander, whose leaky rainshed sent
dismal stream down one of his should
ers.
