WOULD GLADLY RECEIVE FOR
THE COMPANY, NOT FOR
MYSELF.

To the Readers of the Jeffersonian:
I guess you saw Mr.. Watson's no.
tice on the front page of last weeks
Jeffersontan. If so I would Suggest
that you read 1t again, and then act
at once. Now I will make a sug-
gestion similar somewhat to one
that l noticed in the weekly Jeff
some time ago, which is this: Let
every reader of the Jeffs at once
send IN one dollar or more, as their
ability may permit, to Mr.. Watson,
TO be used by him as he sees best
without any expectation of receiving
1t back in dollars and cents), and
continue to do this as often as once
or twice each year, until the strain
is over. This much from all his
readers would mean much to him
and not hurt either one Of us very
much. Moreover, if Mr.. Watson can
afford to give his time and labor
gratis, and bear all the prosecutions,
face all the dangers and criticisms
and abuse, | think what I have sug-
gested is as little as we could afford
to do, as the fight he is making is the
fight of every liberty loving tndi-
vidual the world over, whether they
know it or not. We can't afford to
see such guns as the two Jeff's
silenced before such enemies as they
are throwing their bombs into, just
for the want of financial fuse, if
We can help it. Now in this case you
could al speak at once without caus-
ing much confusion, what say YOU.
I have read many letters Of appre-
citation of Mr.. Watsons broadsides in
the Jeff's, such letters usually clos
ing with may God bless you and

process. Among the photographers Mr
George Bellows and Mr. Boardman Rob.

with sufficient force u not with any
esthctic charm whatever. But none Of
these performances is at all thrilling.
and IN the field Of etching. where the
exhibits are more numerous. the at
mosphere is even less inspiriting.
The etching done with aptitude and
taste has become a commonplace Of
The graphic arts. Two years ago, when
the Association Of American Etchers
held its second annual exhibition, it
presented a quantity OF undeniably ex-
cellent plates, but nothing 20 show
that American etching was al that
time notable for power or style. The
Painter-Gravers now leave the subject
where they found it. There are a few
highly accomplished ctchers in their
show-Mr. T. w. Benson, Mr.. Ernest
d. Roth, Mr.. Ernest Haskell and one
or two others. But save for the sport
ing subjects OF Mr.. Benson and the
clever Whistlerianisms of Mr.. Roth
even this group is Of limited interest.
Then, too, certain men of whom some
thing notable was to be expected arc
curiousiy disappointing. Mr.. Hassam
falls far below the level Of that ex-
hibition in which he made his debut
as an etcher in 1915. THE White
House is his only persuasive print, in
a group of thirteen, and it is not, to be
sure, in the least brilliant Mr.. Weir's
four plates-save for the sensitively
drawn Head of Theodore Robinson

charm which he once exerted with the

characteristic Of him and of Thayer, IS
illustrated in one or two other paint
ings. notably in Mr.. Dewing's "Green

painting is endowed with the emotion
evoked by beauty. and in a couple OF
subjects Of Mr.. X. II. Miller, whose
technique may some day catch up with
his ideas and his modest but agreeable
sense Of color. And then there are the

The picture of the West painted by
William r. Leigh, who exhibits twenty
five csnvsses at the Snedecor gallery,
is literary and romantic. He tells OF
the drama OF the West in the manner
Of the Buffalo Bill stage settings, when
Indians counted the white mems scalps
on their belts, and forest fires, quick
shooting cowpunchers and thirst-mad
prOspectors would appear TO have been
rather the rule than the exception. He
paints with considerable ability, Of nm
academic turn. In pure matters OF
fact his drawings of figures in action
might be said to vie with those OF
Fortuny. The difference is that For
tuny had a great aesthetic gift, sense
of color. an individual notion OF de-
sign. Mr.. Leigh's West is the often
described one which appears to have
been completely bereft OF all beauty
Of color by the alkali of the desert.
the absence of atmosphere, the hard
light of a cruel sun. Some time some
body will find aesthetic themes in the
West, somebody neither sentimental.
romantic nor commonly accurate, and
then we shall doubtless have a new
school of painting. The old schemes
do not work there, and the new ones
that have arisen in the course Of
few years have proven very nearly
worthless.
