tested against the provision of free
Under that treaty, the United States,

Chamberlain proposes that this agree
ment be called off, thus taking the
ground from under the feet of the
protestants and making it perfectly
plain that Uncle Sam can do as he
pleases with his own property. Most
Americans have failed to understand
why the ships of our own country

the Panama canal, and it is to these
persons that the action taken by Sen
ator Chamberlain will appeal the most.
If the resolution receives favorable ac-

there will be no obstacle in the way
OF free tolls for American ships. 1t is
a wonder that somebody did not think

"WOMEN IN PAINTING AND
SCULPTURE"
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

The number OF women each year
winning distinctive honors in the fine
arts tends to refute the assertion that
the feminine mind is incapable of crea-
tive work. In painting of every kind,
as well as in sculpture, women are rap
idly coming to the front. Considering
how exceedingly difficult it was half
a century .ago for women to secure an
advanced instruction in art, their
progress has been remarkable.
The most important art award ver
pletion of the mural decorations of the
Pennsylvania state capitol at Harris
burg which is now in the hands of
Miss Violet oakley of Philadelphia.
The contract for the decoration of the
building first was given to Sir Edwin
Abbey whose death prevented the
completion of his work. After a
lengthy discussion the committee in
charge awarded to Miss Oakley the
contract which had been begun by
Abbey. thus practically recognizing
her as the leader in American mural
art of the present. Her work consists
of a frieze of IS panels which repre-
sent THE Founding of the State of
Spiritual Liberty" Miss Oakley is
still a young woman, but her work
already is recognized both in her own
country n abroad.

has won a reputation in the opinion
of many critics equal to if not SUI
perior to any living artist. She has a

THE MODERN PEGASUS.

We have long had the desire to ex-
press u opinion of the mar who, in
metrical fashion, undertakes to write
OF things mundane or celestial, bat
we didn't dare. Now, however, we
have no less thar the authority of an
+. r.. c. p. and an +. r. s., to back
Us up IN our expression of opinion.
DR.. F. w. Mott of london has stated
that half the great poets of the world
were insane and he is so well in
formed on the subject of lunacy that
we feel that no one can come back
at us. If the great poets of the world
mad to be insane to have their inspired
thoughts properly appreciated, then
what must be the condition of the
man who writes verse and hands it
Ia the editor with a request for it's
publication? When the average I'm
spired genius of today mounts his
Pegasus and flies beyond the limits of
mortal ken, his efforts are apt to be
regarded more in the nature of a
crime than of inspiration, unless, as
DIR. Mott asserts, the reader has a
leaning toward an unbalanced mind.
We hope these remarks will not be
mlsconstrued by the gentleman who
sometimes breaks out on the sports
page of this paper.
