appropriate funds for such q purpose and
until lately individuals generally have
been reluctant to contribute to what they
denominate the government failing to
appreciate that. In fact, the museum be-
longs to the nation. A better under

On the death of Harriet Lane John
ston. niece Of President Buchanan, in
1908, it was found that she had be-
aueathed her art collection Ito the Ma
donal Gallery Of Art, when one should
be established by the government" That
institution already being in existence,
the collection became the chief exhibit
Of the gallery in 1905. Closely following
the bequest Of Harriet Lane Johnston
came the offer and acceptance of a Gift
under certain conditions by Charles L.
Freer Of Detroit, Mich, of his really great
collection of ,over 1900 art objects. Then
came the gift Of William T. Evans of New
York of a collection of paintings to
which Mr. Evans has been steadily add
Ing. There have been important &C.
QUESTIONS from sources other than those
named and various loans and deposits.
The National Gallery of Art at Wash
ington is destined to become one Of the
great art galleries of the world.

ural New England, whore good roads are

rural New England, where good roads are
not new things, the improvement Of road
sides and the consequent enhancement OF
roadside values have been thought Of and
acted on. In a good many parts of the
country wealthy and enterprising owners
Of land abutting on public roads have
treated the roadside by planting trees.
shrubs and grass. so that travel over that
road is made happier and better and
value added to the abutting lands. But
instances of this kind of thrift, taste and
foresight are by no means common. and
in the country around Washington are
rare.
As rule the land owner will not allow
his interest to stray outside his renee
lines. and perhaps the thought Of giving
any care to the ragged, weedy land at the
roadside between his fence and the wheel
track has not occurred to him. The care
Of the wayside is nobody's business eS-
cept that Of a gang Of men under the
county road commissioner. who come
along at widely separated intervals ana
cut away weeds and other growths mat
threaten to choke the roadside dltcnes
and invade the wagon-way.
A few years ago a number OF persons
in Washington conceived an interest IN
the planting Of wild flowers and wild
towering shrubs along some of the rural
roads in the District and adjoining terri
tory, and a good deal of enthusiasm was
temporarily shown, but that enthusiasm
seemed soon to become chilled or dissi-
pated and the results of this enort at
roadside planting were not conspicuous.
However, this work of Improvement De-
longs to and should be undertaken by
owners of roadside land They are the
persons directly concerned. The work
will probably not take the form. except In
a small minority of instances, of elaborate
landscape gardening, but this is not an
essential to rustic roadside beauty, and
perhaps would not be as effective as the
simple care and treatment which it is IN
the power of all landholders to give.
Along many miles of road in Germany
fruit trees are planted. and their effect
is charming at blossom time and at the
season of fruiting. The revenue from
these wayside orchards is said to be con-
siderable. Along many of the public roads
in India the government has planted fruit
trees, and for caring for these trees the
owners of the abutting land enjoy The

louisiana.

Tho bull moosers will try their hand
in Louisiana this year. 1t is the state
where II anywhere in the south they
should be able to make an impression.
But will they, even there? No law ex-
lists against prophesying.
The tariff will, of course, be the issue.
Man does not live by bread alone, but
for years the business of Louisiana has
lived almost by sugar alone. and sugar
was all but annihilated by the Under
wood law upon the Presidents insistence.
Against the protests of tho business in
terests of the state. and Of the local
democracy as well. it was decreed that
sugar should so on the free list in three
Year,.
This was hard to bear, but the injury
was rendered the more hateful by the
fact that the Louisiana sugar men had
been assured Of protection. They had
supported Mr.. Wilson and contributed
generously to his campaign fund two
years ago upon an understanding that
if elected he would do nothing detri-
mental to their industry. The statement
that no legitimate American industry
had anything to fear from him had sunk
deep into their hearts and minds.
The awakening maddened them. They
strove in every way to influence the
President against free sugar. Their SEN
ators and representatives spoke and
voted against the policy. but the Presi-
dents wishes prevailed with Congress
Unless the sugar schedule OF the Under
wood law Is repealed or materially re-
vised the cane sugar growers of Louis
lana, at heavy loss to themselves, will
have to go into a new business at the
old stand
Here, then. Is stage which under ordi-
set for a spirited drama. There is, prop
erly speaking, no republican party in the
state. If anything is possible it must be
done by the bull moosers
But is anything possible? There have
been protests and organizations against
the Louisiana democracy, and some years
ago success was claimed for and by the
populists, who had made a state cam
paisn under native leadership. But they
did not get the goods The machinery
was in the hands Of the democratic party,
seated.
So now. The machinery is still in the
hands of the democracy, the old cam
paign cries are still potent, and all Of
them will be used this year by those look
ing out for Mr.. Wilson's interests
Louisiana has been scourged, but strong
influences will be brought to bear to in
duce her to kiss the hand of the scourger
Will she do it? One guess is as good
as another, but a guess founded on the
strength of party prejudice and custom
is that she will. For the first time in
nearly forty years campaign in Louis
lana will possess national interest

National Gallery of Art.

Reference has been made TO the PROB
ABILITY that with the dispersion OF 'he
J. p Morgan art collection many OF the
objects included in it will find a perma-
nent place in the United States, and that
at length many of the paintings may
hang in the National Gallery OF Art at
Washington. The growth Of this insu-
tuition has been noteworthy within re-
c.at ears. though for many years its
p.cg-ess was discouraginsly slow. The
creation of a national art gallery at
~ ,shiugton is ascribed to the National
Institute which was organized in Wash
inston in lS40 and Incorporated by Con-
sr.ss for d period OF twenty years. The
National Institute was organized for
the promotion Of science and ii estab-
Hsbed department OF literature and
ar, and. according to National Museum
.,zI!stin on the National Gallery of Art
the National Institute accumulated mu-
seuIn OF considers, die size, located in the
ia tent office building. in which the COL
lections Of the government made prior
to 1870 were also deposited. Both its con-
stitution and its charter provided that
upon the dissolution OF the society it's
collection should become the property of
the United States. The institute had in
its collection seventeen portraits, includ-
ing works by the elder Peale. Copiey.
Gilbert Stuart and Sully. and a number
of miscellaneous paintings of merit. In
the patent Office museum was a govern
ment collection of art works. Indian por-
traits and scenes painted by order of
the government, and rather large
number of busts, some of marble. but
the greater number in plaster.
When the Smithsonian was established
by act of Congress in 1s4s one of it's pur-
poses was the formation of a gallery Of
art Richard Rathbun, in writing on
this subject. has said:
while the art side of the museum was
not destined to prosper for many years.
1t Is interesting to note that the first
collection purchased from the Smithso-
nian fund, even before the completion
OF the building, was large series of
engravings and etchings. the finest of
its kind which. UP to that time. had
been brought to this country. The build

auires considerable means for pur-
chasing or the aid Of many friends

Centenarians' Recipes.

whenever a man reaches an age which
most men do not attain he is commonly
asked to give reason or reasons for
It. The quest for the secret Of youth
or the secret of great age goes on.
And usually when man has passed in
this world an unusual number of sum-
mers and winters he is apt to attribute
this to some rule in his mode of life or to
some personal habit. A great many Of
these reasons for long life find their way
into print, and collector of them might
bring together a varied and contradictory
assortment of longevity recipes.
One centenarian will ascribe his length
Of life to the fact that he took a chew Of
strong tobacco before breakfast, at which
he drank two big cups Of coffee and ate
four fat pork chops, followed by black
cigar, a glass of whisky and perhaps a
pack Of cigarettes. Nearly every man
who lives to great age Ia spite Of to-
bacco and strong drink is apt to give the
credit to those things instead Of to his
invulnerable constitution. Which brings
to mind the story that once the late Sen
ator Vest of Missouri and some friends
were discussing the case Of a man who
had lived to be 100 years old. and who
had taken two drinks Of whisky every
day for eighty years. Senator Vest said
THAT is no argument for whisky, for II
| that old fellow had left liquor alone the
Lord might have had to shoot him on
Judgment day Here and there it is en-
couraging to some of US to read OF a
! centenarian who ascribes his age to the
fact that he does not chew tobacco, drink
whisky or smoke cigarettes.
Centenarians are as much divided on
the subject Of tea and coffee as the doc
tors are, but the weight of testimony
among woman centenarians seems to be
In favor of tea Confirmed coffee drink
ers will see no advantage in living loe
years II it has to be accomplished by the
use of tea Some centenarians insist that
| the wearing of a red flannel undershirt
| and knit worsted yarn socks all summer
! constitute a reliable formula for old age
and some centenarians insist that hats
overcoats, gloves and shoes should not be
| worn at any season. Some centenarians
insis, that old age depends on living in
| the open, and other centenarians insist
that the only way to attain long life Is
bv sleeping in a feather bed with ones
head covered up. However, one rarei!

that ancient axiom that the good die

Champ Clark at Arlington.

At Arlington Saturday Mr.. Clark did
more than relieve an unpleasant s1tua-
tion, though he did that thoroughly. He
made a speech worthy. and likely, to
rank with the best In the annals OF
Memorial day history. He met eloquent
ly and impressively a noble occasion
There was moving matter knowingly ut
tered in his response to the invitation
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic. The
day inspired the orator, and the orator
was equal to his topic.

measures the period since the close Of
the civil war. Mr.. Clark, as he men
toned in his speech, was too young to
60 for a soldier. Had he been old enough
he would probably have taken the south
ern side of the contention. In the section
Of Kentucky where he was born and as
a child lived sympathy with the south
was strong: and since reaching man.
hood he has lived with and become the
leader Of men who in the war times were
of and for the south.
But nothing Of this qualities Mr.. Clark
love OF country today. or affects his ap-
praieement Of the men who saved the
Union. He Is an American, with ma
tional standards. and recognizes all the
obligations that attach to American cit
izenship.
In saIuting the heroism of the north
Mr.. Clark mentioned Mr.. Lincoln; in
saluting the heroism of the south he men
toned Gen. Lee.
Gen. Grant was a great soldier, and
read his title clear to that designation
on a number of battlefields. His services
to the Union cause laid the country under
the deepest Indebtedness to him. and
vet Mr.. Lincoln looms as the larger
figure. The civil hero tops the military
hero.
Jefferson Davis was strong man, OF
large experience in civil affairs. and he
gave his best efforts and devotion to the
Confederate cause. And yet Gen. Lee
looms as the larger figure. The military
hero tops the civil hero. Mr.. Davis
name arouses no marked enthusiasm to-
day. Gen. Lees name is all but wor-
SHIPPED by the southern people. and is held
in much reverence in the north. His
former enemies. while deploring his
choice of sides. concede his great ca
pacity as a soldier, and the beauty and
purity of his personal walk and char
acter.
Verify, "the republic is opportunity"
Mr.. Lincoln sprang from the plainest
of the plain people. BY gifts of rare
wisdom, of unfiagging industry, and al
most unequaled powers Of expression, he
became the greatest individual force of
his era. Gen. Lee sprang from what is
called the patrician class. and from in
fancy was surrounded by all the in
huences that minister to the development
of brain and character. Both were Amer
leans, and as such both today are
appraised and eulogiZed.
