Modernism i'm Art.

The 'modernist" artist springs
from the continent-from Italy,
France, Austria, Germany, Belgium,
Russia and the Scandinavian coun-
tries. From the continent the re-
volt has spread to England and into
certainn studios and schools on this
side of the water. The participants
fall naturally into groups, which diff
fer as to. method, but agree as to
the end to be gained by the so-called
modernist art, which is the opening
of avenues leading to regions where
there is more actual reality than can
be found in the objective, visible
world. They seek the inner mean
ing behind the bodily form-the di-
vine essence in nature.
Among the groups are those which
call themselves 'post-impression-
ists,'' 'futurists," ''pointillists, -
''fauves" and "cubists.' After Ma
net, the father of impressionism,' -
came the three Titans" of post-im-
pressionism, Cezanne, Gauguin and
Van Gogh. Cezanne's painting, The
Old Woman with the Rosary is
conceded to be the masterpiece of
the French section of the New York
exhibition. 1t is most intimate and
tender in its human appeal. In the
cathedral cities of France one may
meet many such old women patient
ly toiling along the dusty roads to
mass on Sunday. This artist was
the boldest of the revolutionists, one
who departed utterly from tradition
and sought new fields Of expression,
but he remained sane in his respect
for his design, his surfaces and his
mediums. Gauuin, the great bar
barian," learned much from Ce-
zanne; but that artist repudiated
him as a disciple, and Gauguin in
turn ridiculed Van Gogh.. Gauguin
was not well represented at the ex-
hibition. Much of his best work was
done in Tahiti, where he went to
paint savage life and where he final
ly died in 1898. He was in the
purest sense a decorative painter as
shown in his pastoral painting, Fra
Iheihe. From "Art Revolutionists

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Electricity is considered one of the
greatest discoveries of the age. 1t
first supplied power for the COM
mercial industries. A natural out
come was the electrical appliances
that saved work and steps for the
housewife and the hostess. Whereas
before we had to toast over the
stove, boil our coffee in the kitchen,
make welsh rarebit in the kitchen.
after lighting the fire in the kitchen
stove, we can now, by the aid of cleo
tricity, do all of these things right
on the dining room table without the
hostess getting out of her chair.
In most every town or city of any
size there is an electric store or shop
where one may purchase the latest
appliances for electrical use To my
mind, the owner or proprietor of an
electrical appliance store has an op-
portunity worth cultivating.
1t is natural for people to follow
the line of least resistance. To the
electrical appliance dealer l want to
ask whether you have, in your ad-
vertising, tried to really show people
what the goods you are offering
really mean in the matter of person
al or home routine. Do you just say
that you have received a shipment of
electrical chatting dishes at so much,
or do you tell your prospective buy
ers what these chatting dishes will do
in the matter of economy and labor
and time saving? In the case of the
electrical flatirons. do you just say
that your irons are not heated over
red-hot stove, but all you do is
turn button?
Advertising is not stating glitter
ing generalities but personal per
sonalities" of the goods you are Of
fering. Play up the details that
count-from huma ninterest stand
point, not from general or techni-
cal standpoint.

HOW TO HELPYOURC CITY
Ten Ways to Assist in Making Your
Home Town a Place to Stay
Away From.

Buy from peddlerO as much and
as often as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of a man
who has done much to build up your
town.
Make out your town a bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter-
ests of the people.
Sell your farm and garden prod
ucts in the local market, purchase
your provisions and supplies else
where; tell your merchant you got
goods great deal cheaper in a
neighboring town and charge him
with eXtortion. If a stranger comes
to town, tell him everything is over
done and predict general crash sin
the near future.
Patronize outside newspapers and
cheap job offices to the exclusion of
your own and then denounce yours
for not being as large and cheap as
the city papers.
If you are a merchant, don't ad-
vertise in the home paper, but COM
pei the editor to go elsewhere for
advertisements, and then howl like
sorehead because he does so. Buy
a rubber stamp and use it. 1t may
save you a few dimes and make let
terheads and envelopes look as
though you were doing business in a
one-horse town. Expect the editor
to patronize you without reciprocal
tion.
If you are farmer, curse the
place where you trade as the mean
est on earth. Talk this over with
your neighbors and tell the men they
are robbers and thieves. 1t will
make your property much less valu-
able, but you don't care.-Adapted
from the Plumas Independent.

Wild Animals,

VIII hsnmaIS.
. Had Aladdin stepped out of the
darkness of the Arabian Nights with
his magic lamp he could not have
wrought more thrilling and heart
stilling act to satiate the calloused
Romans than of few to be present
ed in Ashland on Saturday, April 12,
when the Al G. Barnes Big Three
Ring Wild Animal Circus exhibits
here. The show will bring to this
city veritable geological paradise
on wheels eclipsing beyond compari-
son any other such similar exhibit
tions ever offered to the public.
The arena has been in use for pub
lie spectacles and amusements from
the earliest ages, and its popularity
has never diminished. The great
changes. however. which has taken
place have developed it into a civil
lied, instructive spectacle, instead
of performance presented only for
the purpose of exciting mems pas
sions.
Lions have always played a promi-
nent part in those public amuse-
ments and exhibitions. They were
led as trophies in the triumphs of
semi-barbarians, and were exhibited
and sacrificed by thousands in the
Roman amphitheater. Six hundred
were provided for Pompei at a single
festival That the lions should have
always figures thus in history is but
natural He is the king of beasts,
and though there ere other wild ami
mails more intelligent in some ways,
he always has hello, and always will
hold, this supremacy over all other
brutes.
No wild animals ever were trained
by the ancients. 1t was in turning
the power and superiority of man
over animals to financial account
that the art of training wild animals
was first conceived, and it was fu-
ture financial gain that it has been
advanced step by step since. 1t has
also been augmented by the fact that
the men of the twentieth century are
naturally more hazardous and seek
to accomplish the most intrepid feats
imaginable
Herr Louis Roth one of the most
famous of all animal trainers, pre-
sents at each and every performance
of the AL G. Barnes circus his chal-
lenged group of twenty forest-bred
African lions. After many years of
conscientious effort he now offers
them to the public for approval.

Medals for Workmen.

Consular Report: The press of
Havre has just published list of Il OF
persons (S4 men, 23 women) en-
ployed in this city and it's vicinity
to whom silver medals of honor
have been awarded by decree of the
Minister of Commerce and Industry
of France for faithful service of
thirty years in the same industrial
establishment or business house.
In this list are included superinten-
dents, managers, dock-foremen, ac-
countants, clerks, weavers, spinsters,
dressmakers, tramway conductors,
masons, cabinet-makers, boiler-mak-
ers, stokers, laborers, etc.
The medal of honor for employees
and workmen was established in
France by the decree of July 16,
1886, which authorized the Minister
of Commerce and industry to give
them to persons whose services had
covered thirty years. This service
must be in the same establishment
although it might have changed
hands several times. Intervening
military service will not interfere.
An important condition is that the
beneficiary be a citizen of France,
although his employers may be
foreigners.
Applications must be made on
stamped paper by the employer in
behalf of his employees to the perfect
of the department, who forwards
them with such notations as he
deems necessary, to the Minister of
Commerce and Industry, and form
| al inquiry is then made respecting
the character and standing of the
persons on whose behalf the appli-
cations have been made. The med
ais are then presented, with suitable
ceremony, to the employees by the
Mayor or his representative at his
office (Mairie), in the presence of
the employers and the friends of
those to be honored.
This institution is very properly
held in high regard by those for
whom it is intended. 1t is, in fact,
form of decoration bestowed by
the French Government analogous
to the Legion of Honor, since those
who have received the medal are
permitted to wear on the lapel of
their coat, or, in the case of women,
pinned on the corsage, a narrow tri-
color ribbon of red, white and blue
There is an organization at Havre,
the Association des Medailles du
Travail, composed exclusively of
those who have received the medal
of honor.
This institution has, of course,
nothing to do with the old-age pen
sion system in operation in France;
but it is undoubtedly a factor in
bringing about industrial solidarity,
esprit de corps, loyalty to employers
and cordial relations between en-
ployers and their employees.

One Noice Music.

Composers have not scorned writing
airs to suit the style of particular sing
ers, thus, as Francis Rogers remarks,
storing up for the usual voices Of sub
sequent generations much travail and
sorrow" Mendelssohn crowded Hear
Ye, Israel" with high F sharps to
give Jenny Lind, whom he adored, a
chance to display the particular beauty
of her voice in that region, with the
result that that air has been sore
trial to most sopranos ever since.
Faure, the famous French baritone,
also had particularly facile and mel
low high f sharp, and many parts
were written especially to give him q
chance to exhibit it to the gasping null
titude. But in most baritone voices
this F sharp is the very limit of the
upper range. and, although it may have
both power and brilliance. it seldom
possesses either mellowness or facil-
ity; consequently all the roles written
for Faurse (Meyerbeer's ''Dinorah, for
instance, are particular trying for the
ordinary baritone.-Ar

A BILL was put through the last leg
islatnre, giving the heads of depart
ments in the state government the
privilege Of fixing the salaries of their
subordinates. The writer opposed the
bill when it came before the assembly,
urging that the power of fixing salaries
should be entirely in the legislature,
but it was nicely explained that the OBJ
ject of the bill was to equalize salaries
in the departments, and that the de-
partment heads knew more of the value
of the service rendered than the mem
bers of the legislature could possibly
learn, and the bill went through. Now,
within thirty days after the adjourn
ment of the legislature, we read long
lists of salary increases at the state
capitol, the increases ranging from $500
to $500 per annum. Probably from now
on it will be something of a salary
raising match between the department
heads and the university regents as to
which can increase the greatest num-
Der of salaries in a given length of
time. We do not claim to know the
various reasons assigned for the in
creases which have been made, nor do
we desire to condemn every increase
made in the state service, but it ought
to be apparent to almost anybody &C
quainted in the smallest degree with
the trend of events that if things at
Madison keep on sky-rocketing in every
direction those who are now applauding
the beauty of the fireworks are likely
to be lodging the sticks as they fall.
Some dismal election morn the people
of the state may rise in anger, go to
the polls utterly forgetful of progress
sive principles, and do something which
hasn't been done since the fall of 1892.
In such an event, even our civil service
law might be torn off the books, and
some now strangers to the state pay
roll might desire to try out the cost of
living at Madison by rendering more or
less expert or non-expert service to the
state at the salaries which have been
so lately and so numerously increased.
The people may not have definite
remedy for the high cost of living"
but they may conclude to try out
remedy on the thigh cost of taxation. .

The New Wisconsin State Capitol.

The fourth highest dome in the world
is that of the new Wisconsin state cap
itol, with a height from the ground of
269 feet inches without the bronze
statue of woman which will increase
it to 2S7 feet, more than the width of
seven city lots. The three domes which
are higher are those Of ST. Peters
cathedral at Rome, $50 feet; the Duomo
at Florence, Italy, 80 feet; and the
national capitol at Washington, 3073
feet. The dome on the Wisconsin cap
itol is more than 104 feet in diameter,
nearly as wide as three city lots, at
the base. 1t is constructed of concrete,
reinforced with 2, 300 tons of steel, with
an exterior wall made of 5000 tons of
white granite. In order to place the
main steel girders, each of which
weighed % tons, it was necessary to
erect a square steel tower through the
center, with derricks which could be
moved from corner to corner. The
dome alone will cost So, 500, 600, consid-
erably more than one-third the price
for the whole building, which is limited
to S6,000,000. A page view of the
building is a feature of the October

THE state tax commission proudly
point to an increase of valuation of
taxable property of about one hundred
and fifty million during the year and
tell US that spreading the taxes over
that amount of newly discovered prop
erty ought to lower the rate and the
amount each taxpayer will have to pay.
Don't believe it. This increase auto
matically raises the university income
about $50, 900 as the mill tax does for
other educational purposes. The one
sole purpose of the commission is to
hunt for more property to tax, and the
legislature will see to it that the state
gets the money. Unless all signs fail,
the largest tax ever known in Wiscon-
sin will be due in January next

The Empty Till.

The lamentable condition of the Wis
consin treasury tells it's own story, the
story of reckless, Anticipated, unscier-
tific business methods. The establish
ment of the states finances on a basis
of economy and efficiency has been the
most important duty of this government
for many years, but so progressive
have our leaders and their campbell
lowers at Madison been in spending the
peoples money for every suggested Of
flee and half-baked reform, that Wis
consin stands pillored today as bank
rupt spendthrift, without parallel
among her sister states of the middle
west.-Free Press. "a,
The state of Wisconsin is ''broke. !"
No money in the till to pay the water
rent and the meat bill. If those large
hearted and open-handed but near
sighted legislators had set their wits to
the task of making the Workmen's
Compensation Act deliver largess to
the state instead of letting it swell the
Golfers of the insurance companies by
several hundreds of thousands, there
probably would be little more ''house"
money in the till. But then, the hon
orable law makers would very likely
pounce on that to buy several more
carloads of mineral water. Democrat.
: State Treasurer Johnson says that
the state will be busted by the middle
of next month. Never mind. When
tax time comes in we will be assessed
80 per head and that will float the
shop awhile. In Illinois the per capita
tax is three dollars and small frac-
ton. The people will right the wrong
some day not far distant. Whitewater

ABOUT $50, 900, 900 is to be expended
by the United States Steel corporation
on new steel plant at the head of the
Great lakes at Superior. The first unit
of this great plant will be completed
within the next year. 1t will employ
from 5000 to 5000 men from the start.
When the plant is completed it will en-
ploy about $4,000 men. This means an
additional population of 10000 for
Wisconsin, it is said.
