Special Correspondence of The Star.

- HICAGO is much more associated
in the minds of most people with
commerce than art, yet there Is
~ good reason today to reckon 1t
with the art centers of America.
This Is the result not so much Of an in
herent love for art on the part of the
citizens of Chicago as desire to have
the best of everything that is to be
obtained When the people of our west
put their hands to the pillow they never
look behind. Whatever they seriously
undertake they carry through, and
whether the enterprise is one OF manu-
facture- or Of art it is the same.
But art has been cultivated in this and
other western cities in very different
spirit from what some might suppose.
It has been regarded not as luxury,
but as necessity-it has been democra-
tized and made a part of the life of the
people The Art Institute of Chicago
is a perpetual hive of activity. 1t is
essentially an institution by the people
for the people: it is supported almost en-
tirely by small annual subscriptions. and
it is visited by almost one million per-
sons a year Quite different is this from
the old idea of the art museum with Its
fixed exhibits and its limited attendance.
The Art Institute Of Chicago is sit
uated in the business district, but with
abundant space for expansion. Archl-
tecturally, it is not especially imposing.

He is by no means the figurehead so

but he has a
That Many Suppose. power over the
house that is very wide. When he thinks
the informal debate following a question
has gone far enough, he simply stops 1t.
The fact that the policy of every measure
has been settled and determined before 1t
reaches the open house makes it far
easier to distinguish between the politi-
cal and the purely parliamentary than it
would be In the American Congress. In
deed, in the latter instance it would be
well-nigh impossible. for there the fate
of measure often is determined by its
parliamentary status.
There is never a roll-call in the house
termined by division in the lobbies. The
speaker puts the question, and II 1t Is
not decided by the viva voce vote, d.
vision is ordered. The members voting
in the affirmative then march into the
lobby at the back of the government
walk into the opposition lobby.
Then they march back into the house
through a set of stiles, which are appor-
toned according to the first letter in the
individual members names. At these
stiles voting clerks record the name of
the member voting as he passes back into
the house. Although there are $40 mem
bers of the commons, division in fun
house is accomplished in about ten min
utes. This compares most favorably with
the forty minutes required for the roll
call in the House Of Representatives at
Washington. where there are only few
more than 400 members.
To sum up. it may be said that prac-
ticaly everything done In parliament is
cut and dried according to the plans OF
the cabinet with the single exception OF
the questions. They may be asked by
any member of any cabinet officer about
any matter Of government. On one day
recently the prime minister was asked no
fewer than 1O1 questions on the Ulster
situation alone.
1t must be understood that this arti-
cle as well as the one that preceded it
and the one that is to follow tomorrow,
discusses the British parliament entirely
without reference to the excellencies or
shortcomings Of the theory Of RESPONSE
BILE government; that is to say. govern
ment by cabinet directly responsible to
the legislature. They are designed rather
to treat of the ordinary affairs of the
house OF commons and the cabinet. which
are generally overlooked in the broader
discussions of the theory Of their con-
stitution.

in our memories some of those old
Fourth of July celebrations which
we used to have when | was aIe,i.

The continued success which
seems to follow the annual fair,
an institution which had its birth
some years after we moved away,
as with those old Fourth of July
celebrations, is evidence that Jasper
is in the habit of doing the thing
up brown whenever she makes the
attempt.

possessions are number of kodak
pictures of jasper personages and
Jasperian seems And the choicest
OF these are a number Of snapshots
and flashlights of the Jasper Band
in its various and divers poses.
One of these was taken while the
band was in action at one of its
night rehearsalS in Brother Dray's
blacksmith shop, then located on
the corner opposite the Methodist
Church to the Moth. The black.
smith shop was naturally rather
gloomy place in which to exercise
the art of photography, and when
you add to this the darkness of the
night one can realize what flash
light had to overcome in order to
get the likenesses of the members
of the Jasper Band on the plate
without breaking the plate. The
result was that out of a rather
dense gloom | can recognize fear

However, the conspicuous feature
of the picture is the array of horse

shop.

the band in all of its glory march
ing down Grand Avenue at the
i. head of one of those famous
Fourth of July flower parades
which we used to have.
The best picture of all. however,
is the one taken of the band Just
after they had received their new
uniforms which consisted of elabor.

and caps. We we're all posing for
