G u BI S 7 AR T
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of cat Good Old Sivvash.~

Cubist art Is that emancipated express
sion of the rectilinear peripheries of cos
mic transcendentalism. which is best
enunciated in passionate planes.
If the reader does not understand this
explanation. he should be ashamed of
himself. That the writer hasn't the
slightest idea Of what it means is quite
another matter. For that is the true
intensiveness of cubist art. Any fool
can paint a picture which he under
stands, but only a genius can paint a
finished, to clutch his cascading hair
with both hands and explain wildly:
What allied me when 1 accomplished
that?''
Thus, cubist art is the question of the
puzzled painter to the intelligent observ-
er. The painter, having had a picture,
and wishing to have it diagnosed before
he has another, exhibits it. 1t is then
the duty of the observer to interpret 1t.
Under the cubist system the same pic
ture can be interpreted in 11.0O0 different
ways. One picture may represent, to the
trained observer, not only the Battle Of
Waterloo, and the eruption of Vesuvius,
but also a composite picture OF the Pres
idents, and the great lumber jam at
Chippewa Falls. The beauty of the sys-
tenn becomes at once apparent. BY buy
ing one picture, the investor can secure
an entire art gallery. and can enjoy it
for years. merely changing the subject
tag every morning. and varying his
drinks a little each evening.

Will Go to the Root.

In another column is an announce
mcnt by the Secretary of the Interior
calling together all parties interested
in the use of water from Reclamation
Service works" This initiates a new
administration policy of direct dealing
between water users and the Interior
Department"
Secretary Lane has evidently had
time, in spite of officeseekers, to look
things over, and is now ready to tackle
some of the attacks against the various
bureaus in his department. When a
new Secretary takes charge of Interior
affairs, a new hope springs in the
breasts of individuals whose interests
conflict with the execution of the laws
OF Congress. They hope that if
enough charges are brought against
the executive officers of the department
the new Secretary will conclude there
can't be SO much smoke without some
fire, and the result will be the dis
missal or resignation of men who are
in the way of well-laid plans to get
something from the government for
less than they ought to get it. The
hope, in this case, will be blasted.

Foolish and Croundless.

With all due respect to our eminent
metropolitan contemporary, the yarn it
has dished up for its readers TO digest
that King George of England has sent
an autograph letter to Gen. Huerta,
recognizing his government in Mexico,
is all bosh. 1t adds that in conse-
quence of such recognition the new
Mexican loan of 100000 pesos is to
be floated in Europe, as after England's
first step there could be no doubt as
to the friendly attitude of the other
European powers.
All this, it is limited in the story
mentioned above, is intended as mott
6cation to the United States as a re-
taliatory measure following Our with
drawal from the six-power loan in the
case of the new republic of China.
British capital is very largely invested
in Mexico, and London, doubtless,
would applaud the Strengthening of the
Huerta government; but it is folly to
assume that the powers of Europe, if
determined to challenge the Monroe
doctrine, would decide to make the
experiment in country that borders
the United States for full thousand
miles.
1t seems to us that the powers have
their hands full in solving the Balkan.
and just now more specifically the
Montenegrin, problem before stirring up
new entanglements in our hemisphere.
Socialism all over Europe is up in
arms against the extravagant cost of
war preparations. The search for
funds for greater ornaments is too
difficult a task. There is no danger
of foreign aggression in Mexico.
The only pleasing thing about this
war scare is its obvious groundlessness.

men who had fought the fight with
him.
A man of such vast powers as was
Mr.. Morgan, a man set apart from
other men by the very forces which
made some fear and others hate while
all admired him, is difficult to judge.
Only these intimately personal thoughts
and deeds that held his mind and
heart when he was making ready for
death can make known the human
qualities of this genius of wealth.
Mr.. Morgan's life can teach many
lessons, but none more cheering and
helpful than this, that this wielder

Japan Displays Naval Strength.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Japan's naval strength was paraded in

spectacular event in the reign of the new
Emperor. Yoshihito reviewed forty-five
battleships and cruisers, destroyers, sub
marines, and torpedo boats-113 in line.
1t was much like Col Roosevelt's review
of the fleet off Oyster Bay when he
was President, but a distinctly modern
note was added by the Japanese in the
two hydro-aeroplanes flying over the
warships, as we'll as the big German
dirigibles that floated high in the air.
Among the vessels in line were three
battleships and three cruisers captured
from the Russians. According to the
American schedule. these would have
been marked obsolete long ago. The
prime battleshfps of ten years are rank
ed no higher than cruisers now, and
only Dreadnoughts are counted as battle
ships of the line. Deterioration is the
weakness of the Japanese navy. But
new battleships cost 100000 apiece, the
japanese are grooming under heavy taxes

WILSON PERFECTING
PARTY GOVERNMENT
George H. SHIRLEY Says President, in
Personally Addressing Congress,
Should Have Support.

To the Editor: Sir-In connection with
the closer personal relations which
President Woodrow Wilson is establish
ing with the peoples representatives in
Congress. there are certain historical
facts that are not generally understood,
and / trust that you will permit me to
present briefly some of them to your
readers
In appearing personally before Con-
gress at the opening of the present ses-
sion, the President has revived only one
portion OF the earlier custom. He evil
IDENTIFY planned that there should be
omitted the two other features that had
caused some friction in the Adams ad-
ministration, namely, the formal reply
by the two houses. and a return of the
call by the two bodies. President Thomas
Jefferson got rid of these points of fric-
tion by sending to Congress a written
message at the time of opening, and 1t
worked admirable.
President Wilson has restored the per-
sonal message, and Congress has not
formally replied nor formally returned
the call. and this, too, 10 working nice

The question naturally arises, What Is
| President Wilson aiming to do?
To get proper understanding of the
situation We should realize that since
Washington's two administrations an al
most complete change in the system of
government has been developed, that of
party government. which operates
through the constitutional government.
Only through party government can tens
of millions of human beings practice
selfgovernment. The people must be
the Legislative and the administrative
bodies, and a test vote between the
contending organizations be taken.
Last year such a vote was taken, and
the Democratic Presidential nominee
was elected, and with him a Democratic
House and a Democratic Senate. The
acknowledged leader nationally Is Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson. and his unques-
toned duty is to use his constitutional
powers to help bring about a fulfillment
of the pledges of the Democratic organi-
cation, pledges that were put forth at
Baltimore by the party's national con-
NcHUUU, ana winch constitute tne QeC-
laration of principles. whereby the party
organization went before the voters, and
by them was placed in power.
President Wilson, in order to be in
position where he shall be better able
to fulfill his duties as national party
leader, planned to address personally his
party colleagues and their associates, at
the opening of the special session, and
followed shortly thereafter by personally
appearing in his room at the Capitol and
comforting with his party colleagues in
Congress. An agreement must be
reached as to tariff legislation, Plainly
his duty is to bring about consultation
and TO cultivate spirit of teamwork
throughout the Democratic organization
from Congress down to the precinct COM
mittees. 1t is all one organization, band
ed together for self-government.
While the President is exercising his
constitutional powers in this direction
he Should receive the hearty support
of every liberty-loving citizen, regardless
of party, for self-government itself is
at stake. Only be developing the party
system to a point where party pledges
will be kept does self-government by

Opening Of the Drowning Season. -

Throughout the summer the news
papers each Monday morning have to
chronicle the Sunday drownings," and
among these the canoe bears far too
large share. Truly, it is a tipsy
craft. To handle it with any degree
of security requires a skill which
comes only with practice. To supple
ment such security, the canoeist also
should be swimmer.
This does not wholly safeguard the
canoeist. A floating hat, a drifting
paddle, a canoe bottomside up, only
too often have written a shocking
epitaph of the incautious or inexpert
who were not sufficiently impressed
with the frailness of the craft.
The university lighthouses have a
system that should be useful. They
start their novices in wherry, pro-
mote him to compromise" and
when he is reasonably skilled let him
take out a shell. The nonswimmers,
the timid, or the infrm have no bust
mes in a canoe And the reckless, if
they can be recognized in time, should
not be allowed to risk their own lives.

Watch I'm The Safety Vault.

From the New York Tribune.
A strong box containing family rec
ords and heirlooms was opened a few
days ago to examine an old manuscript.
The box had not been disturbed for
several years, and the women, who had
taken it into private room, were sur
prised when they removed an old-fash-
Toned open-facS watch from its resting
place to hear it tick loudly. This to
them was evidence that the box had
been tempered with. But everything
was found intact and in keeping with
the memorandum of contents, and they
were much ;perplexed because of the
ticking watch, which ceased it's activity
before the box was returned to it's place.
A matchmaker who was consulted said
that such ''momentary life" in dead
timepieces when disturbed was not I'M

The Latest Puzzle for Experts.

The interesting and often ridiculed
investigation by government experts
on the ingredients of beer and of
whisky, which, however, were given
great deal of attention, are followed
by a report issued by the government
to limit the quantity of cereals in
sausage to 2 per cent and that of water
to 3 per cent. Packing houses object
to this. and the experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture will have to
decide what constitutes proper sat-

There is sausage and sausage, just
as there is whisky and whisky. Some
come up to the standard; others do
not Changing hog prices beget

fine thing, but poor sausage is inn

Government food experts cannot do
everything to smooth the path of the
householder, but a clearing up of the
sausage and butter questions might
help. If we knew what constituted
proper sausage, if our housewives
knew how to distinguish the good from
the bad, marketing would be somewhat

should include other things. 1t GER
