Picabla. the French artist and leader

is firmly convinced that the Cubist
school will replace the school which
has produced the masterpieces that
are in every museum. ''Cubism is
the spirit of modern painting and
will develop art as music has been
developed. 1t is far more expressive
than mpressionism and is real art"

Huge Bonfres Lighted to Prevent

BEGGING FOOD AND SHELTER

Ashbyburg, KY, Jan. 22.-Several
hundred persons on the mound here,
an food refugees from Webster,
Hopkins and Mclean counties, will
be put under quarantine tomorrow
" health officers as the result of
the discovery this afternoon OF three
cases of smallpox.
The cases were diagnosed by DR..
II. w Gates, health officer of Nc
Lean county.
Lieutenant Carl Norman, of the
adjutant Generals office, arrived
here this afternoon to attend to the
policing of the refugee camp. Most
of the people are housed in tents
furnished two days ago by the state,
but some are sleeping In stables and
shsds.
Provisions were brought in today
from Madisonyille at the expense Of
Hopkins county The Hopkins
county health officer is now on his
way here. Nearly half Of the food
refugees are children, aud in the
cold wuye ihey ure s0ffering. This
camp Of refugees Is the largest ever
gathered from food in the Ohio
Valley. ~
The health officers tonight advised
Lieutenant Norman that no one
should be allowed to leave camp.
As a result OF this order, number
of terror-stricken refugees who had
jumped into boats and rowed to CAL
houn to escape the plague were
turned back at Calhoun by the mar
shall and posse, who threatened to
shoot any one who landed. Cali
hound is full of refugees, even the
courthouse being tenanted from
basement to attic.
Green river came to stand here
today. The whole flooded area is
full of floating houses.
Hugh bonfires have been lighted
| to keep the refugees from suffering
of the cold. Residents of the little
tented city are suffering from ex-
pesure.
Beseiged for ten days in their
homes cries for food and fuel now
are coming from families whose
homes in Evansville, Ind, escaped
destruction in the flood The in
sistent appeals for rations and for
boats to take off their stock will be
answered Thursday morning when
the steamer Hopkins. carrying a fleet
of launches, skiffs and crews, will be
sent out. The Hopkins will go up
as far as Enterprise.
The fall in the river at Evansville
has been small, and there is no
promise of a marked recession.
While danger of further inundation
is passed, the suffering caused by the
food there is acute since the cold
weather has set in.
Reports of the loss of their houses,
household goods, stock and crops
were made today by half dozen
refugees who reached Evansville
with their families to beg food and
shelter.
Despite the assurances which have
been given out by the officials at
5hawneetown. ILL.,, that the city is
safe from the food, a state Of terror
exists there. When the steamer
Lowry landed there this afternoon
there was a rush by an excited mob
to climb aboard
The Captain allowed sc to cross
the gang plank and then raised the
stage and pushed off. More than
200 vainly clamored to be taken on

and stands at So feet, five feet from

now as high at Shawneetown as il
was when the leyee gave way there

Immediately after the war the work of formally
establishing national cemeteries in places where
Union soldiers and sailors were buried proceeded
rapidly. The last such cemetery to be estab-

For Manufacturers to Explain.

Manufacturers of typewriters IN
this country, in their protest against
that provision Of the Underwood bill
which places typewriters on the free
list, declare that, with the existing
duty of 30 per cent. removed, the
American market would soon be food
ed with cheap machines from Ger
many and England and a deadly blow
dealt to en- industry which has been
built up to tremendous proportions in
little more than four decades. II
that be so, how happens 1t that Amer,
lean typewriters now food the mar,
'kets of Europe, where they have to
compete with the machines from
England and Germany under condi
lions of absolute free trade and with
the cost of ocean transportation
against them? The explanation will
have to be very convincing to satisfy
the American public-a great deal
more convincing, in fact, than the
most ingenious Protectionlst could
make 1t.

domestic commerce might be called
on to inquire into the facts of the
case where manufacturers make the
revision of the tariff an excuse for

To quote Representative Under

When great manufacturing insti-
buttons are ready to threaten their
laborers with reduction OF wages
because they say there has been ad-

What is there to complain of In
this? Manufacturers who protest
against any changes in the tariff

opportunity to prove to the proper

ances are justified. If they are not
justified certainly the public has

Country Stands BY Democrats

OF course the Republicans smiled
broadly when the Underwood bill was
made public. Already that smile has
come off. 1t was suicidal, they sup
posed. The Democrats could never be
held together in support of such a
measure. And the country-well the
country would hunt the Democrats
into their holes for their impudence In
daring to tamper with sacred and
inspired Republican tariff. But the
Democratic caucus has stood by every
feature of the tariff bill, including the
income tax, and the only official ex-
preston of public opinion has been
made in the manufacturing state of
Massachusetts, where, after a cam
paign conducted on the tariff issue, a
Democrat was elected by more than
1000 plurality in a normally Republic
can district.
