THOSE STENCIL PLATE ARrIsrs

The annual holiday crop of artistic
calendars shows the poverty of the
men who made them, despite the skill
they employ. One and all, the faces
which are used are those which the
artists have made their sign man
uals, their trademarks, so to speak, as
If they were patent medicine men or
manufacturers OF a new brand OF to-

You can tell Gibson girl, a Coles
Phillips, a Fisher or a Wenzel as far
as you can see her. They have be-
come such familiar faces that their
beauty. their piquancy. their general
allure, has become deadened by famil-
iarity.
Speaking as a6mere layman, whose
joy in work lies largely in the variety
Of it, the fact that these men make
the same outlines over and over again
seems a wanton Dissertation of talent.
The mere monotony of it must be ter
rible, the spirit of commerce which il
obtrudes must have a vulgarizing II
not a destroying effect upon the am
bition.
Here Nare men who do nothing but
stencil-plate themselves over and over
again. Once Gibson did break away
from the grind. He threw away his
| pen and ink and took to the brush
and palette, but the venture was not
a success. commercially or artistical
( ly And so he is now back at the old
trade again. tramping around a circle
like a blind horse in a mill.
The situation is often duplicated al
along the line OF artistic endeavor. II

WILSON'S MOTIVE

ment to be accomplished by boarding
money, calling loans and refusing
credit. He therefore tells the money
trust that he knows its power and
warns it that if it shall attempt the
exercise of that power against him he
will put 1t in "a gibbet as high as Ha-
mans"
Criticising Theodore Roosevelt for
permitting the steel trusts absorb
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
on the representation of Frick and
Gary that otherwise the panic would
spread, Senator La Toilette said that
he would have stopped the panic by
putting a receiver in every Morgan
bank
The temper of LaFollette is the
temper of Wilson. The latter will
suffer no private interest in the nation
to ho.d at its pleasure the prosperity
of the people. He will wreck whoever
sets out deliberately TO destroy pros
perity and shroud him in a public dis
grace which viii live as long as the
members of that mans family sur.
vive."
The money trust is warned. If il
shall nevertheless undertake to defeat
legislation destroying its power By
producing a panic, it can expect Wood
row Wilson as president to smash il
and destroy every man a conspiratol
IN it.
