THE REIGN OF THE ARTISTIC

ranged and decorated TO attract and

nowadays must be planned to appeal
to the eye in the most effective way,
for people are realizing as never be-
fore the commercial value OF the
beautiful
Never before in the history. of TIT
world has there been anything like
the present reign of the artistic IN
every line. We are not content. with
the useful. Wherever it is possible
a thing must be attractive as well as
useful Attractiveness today goes
hand in hand with utility.
We see evidences OF the demand for
the artistic in almost every line Of
human endeavor. There is a compe-
tition, especially among storekeepers.
to see whose place will be the most
attractive No cost is spared in their
efforts to Guido one another. Think
of the expense of the arrangement OF
merchandise in our big stores. Win
dow dressing has become almost q
profession, and look at our banks?
Why, the ladies' reception rooms in
our big city banks are almost as at
tractiVe as are the parlors in the first
class hotels. Many of our business
offices are not only artistic. but are
and fittings.
All this marks q very decided steh
in progress. 1t is a definite social
recognition of a definite social need.
Carlyle said THE desire for deco
ration was the first spiritual need or
the savage" The hunger for beauty
is. indeed, a spiritual one.
One of the most beautiful, as well
as pathetic, things l have ever known
of is the work of the poor boys IN
the Reform School on Harris Island,
near New York city, who have made
the waste sand in the potter's field

There is campaign on foot
throughout the United States to
make the placing Of signs ON fences,
stones, wallis or trees along the high
ways misdemeanor. and "a law was
signed recently by the governor OF
Maryland to this cnd-anybody may
rip the signs off and destroy them
on sight This follows similar laws
proposed and passed at the instance
of the National Highways Protective
Society in the States of Massachu-
sets, New York, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania.
We are swinging back from our ex
IRENE OF commercialism. Or rather,
we are beginning to realize that even
the esthetic has its commercial value,
and that it is bad business" to per
nit an ugly thing. And we are be-
ginning TO see that people are inf1u-
creed more through the eye than
through any other organ of the body.
In nearly all lines of endeaVor we
see this effort to appeal to the artistic
to the esthetic. What tremendous
strides the purely decorative has
made in the publishing business! Our
magazines are no longer severe pages
OF printed matter. Our books are
often works of art. 1t is no longer
enough for an article or a book to be
useful it must be artistic, decora-
tive: il must appeal to the eye. One
of the most striking features in the
evolution of both the commercial and
the social world during the last
twenty five years is the tremendous
strides that have been taken in the
development of the artistic.
Business houses which quarter OF
a century ago were extremely plain
and severe are now built and ar
ranged with reference to attractive
ness-to the artistic as we'll as to the
useful.
Hotel proprietors today know that
their patronage depends very largely
upon their ability to appeal strongly
to the eye-to the sense of the
esthetic They know very well that
no matter how solidly hotel may be
built, how substantial may be its bill
of fare, how pure its foods. or how
attentive it's service, if it is net
artistic, if it does not make a pleas
ing impression upon the esthetic ele-
ment in human nature they are
placed at very great disadvantage.
This is also true of our banks, trust
buildings, stores and offices, which
are not only planned for the greatest
possible usefulness, but are also ar

ROOSEVELT ON THE COLOMBIAN TREATY

Before he landed from the Imperator Theodore
Roosevelt gave out statement in regard to the Co.
lomban treaty negotiated by Mr.. Bryan that is cacu
lated to add few gray hairs to the benevolent head
of our unique secretary of state.
The Colombian treaty, called has sat heavily
on the nations stomach since it proudly
nounced at Washington by Mr.. Bryan. 1t has caused
bewilderment and anger and its terms have made
amusement abroad at the expense of this nation,
whose diplomacy has become international joke.
Mr.. Roosevelt handles the treaty without gloves.
He does not mince words in characterizing the re-

1t would seem as if there were
something about the simple life and
gentle manners of the Quakers that
favored celebrity of women. sur
prisingly large number of the dis
tinguished women of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries were MEM
bers of Quaker families, and good
Nv proportion of these were strict
adherents to the rule of life pre-
scribed by the Quakers One of the
most exemplary of these was Martha
Routh. who was born one hundred
and seventy-one years ago today in
Worcestershire, England. When she
was small child she became mem
Der of the Society of Friends, and at
seventeen she left her home to be-
come n teacher in a Friends board
ing school in a nearby county. There
she remained for seven years Where
she worked with unwavering enthu-
siasm. At the end of that time,
when she was twenty-four years old:
she was promoted to the position oil
principal of the school.

Discordant Thoughts.

In wandering through your mental
pleasure grounds whenever you come
upon an sugly intruder of a thought
which might bloom into some poison
Gus emotion, such as fear, envy, hate,
worry, remorse, anger and the like,
there is only one right way to treat
it-pull it up like a weed. drop it
upon the rubbish heap as promptly
as If il were a singing nettle and
let some harmonious thought grow
in it's place. There is no more reck-
less consumer of all kinds of exuber-
ance than the discordant thought,
and wedding it out saves such an
astonishing amount of eau de vie
wherewith to water the garden of

The Political outlook.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
The movement of the sugar barons

Is characteristic not only of modern,
but of universal politics.
The Bull Moose seems to be at once

tween hell and the Iron Works, the
devil and the deep blue sea. Thus he
can swim or eat live Goals, as the
case requires, be woman or man

In the North he is a dissatisfied
Republican. in the South a dis
gruntled Democrat, In Louisiana one
might call him old Sugar-in-th
