A CONNOISSEUR AND A CURATOR
What Can Be Done to Settle the Fate
of a French Work Assigned to Siens!

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: II a wandering connoisseur calls on
a curator TO ask him what critic said tha'
a certain little picture in the gallery be-
longed 10 the school OF Siena, but the
curator will not tell: and II the connois-
seur points out that one OF the themes
therein treated has never occurred IN Tus-
can art. but is familiar in the art or
France at the same period. and refers him
10 a document which comes pat In date
and place. but the curator says that IL 81
no significance: and II the connoisseur
thereafter offers to show that at least two
more OF the themes which appear have
closer parallels in style AZ Avignon and IN
Catalonia, and that the quality OF the
design in another part Is utterly unlike
Sena. but the curator. who has not seen
the Spanish picture and does not know
by which OF his names YOU call a Span
lard when you speak OF him, reariirms
simply and without evidence that the
piece is Tuscan; and II the connosseur at
this point, acting on a strong hint rap
idly takes leave-why, then, what IS
curator for, anyway? And has the public
which so often puts in penny when the
hat is passed around for the museum. no
right to require that paid officials should
keep UP with the present state OF knovl'
edge and opinion?

The President and Huerta.

The gist Of the Presidents message concerning

THE "UNoUIET LADY"

SHAKING UP THE PARTY
A Loyal Republican Warmly Endorses
The Tribune's Stand.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me enthusiastically TO com
mend your editorials relating 20 the Re
publican party demands on the party
leaders II is well that somebody shake
up the stand pat dry bones. The day
Of playing politics with every great ana
necessary public reform and question has
gone by. The people and not parties are

We. loyal Republicans. who have 10y
ally supported the party and It's candi-
dates. insist upon leadership Whlch
leads. and which leads somewhere.
party out OF power has no victories TO
celebrate Only fool leaders will repeat
, the blunders Of the last National Repub-
lican Convention.
Colonel Roosevelts primary campaign
opened the eyes of the people 10 the ne
cesslty for a universal primary system
which should in fact commit the delegates
and control their action. The national
convention should adopt such a system as
would make an end OF the rotten borough
system OF nominations, so called. Is II
not possible for tho party 10 adopt such
primary system as would enable ma
iority Of enrolled Republicans 10 make
all nominations their votes being repre-
scented by their delegates) by giving such
voters a first and second choice? A can
dldate would thus be named by a majority
or a plurality of straight Republicans.
Barring fraud or coercion. this would be
the voice OF the party.
one thing is sure, the party is the vot-
ers, and the leaders or officials are not
the party The dog is not the tail, or vice
versa. There should be no power or au-
thority vested in any one except the vot-
ers To name the candidates az we'll as
elect them. The action OF any interme-
diary is likely To be repudlated by the
voters. Moreover. all local and state
nominations should be made solely by the
voters and there should be no party or
ganIzation candidates before the primary.
Every aspirant for nomination should
have free field, and the plurality or ma
jority candidate would thus become tho
party candidate at the polls. II neces-
sary, the party emblem should be open 10
the use Of ell asplrants for n party nomi-
nation or else no emblem should be per-
mitted. Let the organization keep hands
off at the primary.
But you have well and truly said the
party must line up on the firing line. face
front on all the leading political reforms
Of the day. II not. the party candidates
cannot depend on the votes of the MEM
bers to support them. We may rightly
glorify the history and record OF the c.
o. F.. but the past is past. The people
are In the saddle and are riding to win,
and win they Will 1t is to be hoped our
leaders will not split hairs over nom
essentials, but will face and favor every
new Issue which public sentiment evil
IDENTIFY demands.
Why not be "a wise as Thurlow Weed
who. when asked the secret OF his sue
cessful leadership OF the party. said: "I
always follow a little In advance OF pub
lie sentiment" 1t is a great pity that
some OF his family successors have not
inherited his political wisdom.
