Observations on Art.

1t is plain to the observer of pic
lures that there are as many denom-
nations in art as there are in religion,
Each brings some beauty from ma
ture to the great clearing house Of
art knowledge. One may bring color
and light, a second may bring form
and detail, yet another quality. When
a painter appears who belongs to no
particular school, but who expresses
the noblest qualities of all the schools
in a message which is essentially his
own, he wins the admiration of his
fellow artists, which is more to him
than the approval of the million.
OF the various important depart
ments of painting, the one which re-
quires the greatest susceptibility to
truth, together with the most thor
ough mastery of art, is portrait paint
ing. The great painters in all ages
have at one time or another given
their attention to portrait work. No
other branch of art requires so much
knowledge and skill, and since the
advent of the camera the demands
upon the portrait painter have been
even more exacting.
One may notice that in our exhibi-
tons the landscapes and idealistic
paintings greatly outnumber the por-
traits. One reason for this is that it
takes less ability to paint creditable
landscape. For example, if land
scape painter, on account of his ina
bility to draw truthfully, should add
a few feet to the height of tree, or
set it forward or backward hundred
yards; or if he should lift a hill a
thousand feet or more, or distant
cloud a mile or two higher in the
sky, no one would be the wiser. Few,

~N his interesting lecture the
sEB I'll other day before the Fine
RNA 4 Arts society and the
kta1eass Drama league, Granville
EkWeSyh Barker defined art as that
little extra individual touch
which person gives to any work he
may do through which he expresses
his Joy OF living and pleasure in doing
the work. How it would illuminate
the work OF many a conscientious
musical worker to keep this con-
stantly in mind; how it would trans
form many students drudgery if he
approached his study in a different
state of mind, realizing that it was
not a duty alone, and not leaving any
part Of it until his work was a pleas
ure to himself as he did it, and he
could really express his Joy Of living
through it. But the touch of art pre-
supposes intelligence and skill. Work
can't be pleasure unless it is well
done, nor can one find JOY to express
in it otherwise. The trouble with
most musical work is that it is not
done we'll enough and that often just
when we get the different parts or the
whole of our work almost to the point
where the individual touch may enter
i'll, and make it our own we think it
is finished and leave it. There would
be more art in the world in the re-
suits of every sort of labor if there
were less superhciality in the work
itself.

49, rience in the presence OF
mountains or the ocean. The soft
warm light which falls from the
stately windows gives fascinating
richness and mystery to the purely
Gothic interior The effect is strongly
conducive to deep thought and con-
tent and the beholder is awakened to
his finest sensiblities, feeling himself
within the impressive realm of mas
ter work which expresses something
of the grandeur of the ever-present
Eternal. To the artist the effect is
most satisfying and his first impress
sion is only deepened by further &C
quaintance. Indeed, this noble struc-
ture would seem to be an excellent
addition to our architectural wealth.
The amateur picture buyer has but
little to guide him in his purchases ex-
cept the reputation OF the artist whose
work he seeks. Should worthy
painting happen to be the work of an
artist without laurels the picture buyer
often feels that he must smother his
desire to possess il If the artist in
volved displays a list of honors an
inch long he is reputed good" and
the buyer considers himself fairly
safe in his venture; if the list is three
inches long the artist is reputed very
good and the buyer feels himself
quite removed from the zone of dan
ger, while if the painter exhibits six
inches or more of awards, medals and
prizes he is reputed excellent" infal-
lible indeed, and the buyer dismisses
all further inquiry from his mind,
considering himself immune from er-
ror. Now where the picture buyer
fails is in supposing that because an
artist is medal man that everything
coming from his brush is conse-
quently good. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth. One might as
well expect to find members of FAM
lily evenly matched in physical and
mental attributes. And so the pic
ture buyer is often unknowingly at
sea.

Memories of the Mendelssohn
Choir concert in connection with the

last Monday evening keep returning
to the mind and will remain long in

There were so many excellencies
about it. One could almost have filled
all entire edition of the paper the next
day in telling about them. The work
of the soprano section of the choir,
constantly alert and artistic, in which
Mrs Kelly plays such star part,
which never failed to respond when
wanted and now sang above the rest
of the choir in a beautiful melodic
strain or rose to brilliant dramatic eff
fects with impressive results; the
mems section which though somewhat
smaller than in some previous years,
exceled i'll quality of tone, and sur
prised by its versatility of expressions;
the scnsitiveness of the Choir, tone,
color and mood pictures which it at
tains, and the many characteristic
touches which it brings out in each
number reflect the greatest credit upon
conductor and singers alike. 1t makes
Omaha people able to say that our
Mendelssohn Choir does solo work,
for it is not many voices that we hear,
but the one voice of the Choir like
that of a great instrument. The new

TO PLAcARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan 70
Raise Standard Of Cleanliness In
Residences and Business Houses.

The city Of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed a unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and busi'
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition Of the various premises Is to
be shown by placards bearing the In
scriptions Clean 'Dirty'' or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health will be ~placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands Of the authorities.
This action was decided upon BY the
board OF health, which appointed Q
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health Of the city.
The board of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
60 afix the placards to every house IN
the city. Those r~esidences which can
be designated as "clean" will not be
~placarded, but those In which sanitary
conditions are d~isregarded will be des-
ignated as "dirty" or "hlthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
As the board Of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
! cards must remain on the houses or
/ places of tusiness until the board Is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down tho placards, the extreme PEN
atty Of the law can be enforced.

The adoption Of a city manager ~
the town Of Bristol, Tenn, with &

utical viewpoint except for one reasof'
1t adds to the evidence that the city

inference almost q certainty that 1t II
4 question of time only until admins
tration by city manager is taken up BY
the biggest cities as well as the smaller
towns. The choosing of a manager for
Bristol for a term Of three years prom
lses that the plan Is to be given a fair
test which It should have If any COM
parison that will be satisfying is to be
made between the towns old political
system and the new. Unless 4 man
ger Is allowed the necessary time to
work reforms and present results, the
handicap would probably be too heavy
and In case Of failure would register

REDUCE EXPENSE Of HAULING.
improved Roads Put Farmer In Poes
tIon Where He Can Go to Market
Every Day In Year.

Permanent road building costs
money, and 1t is well to look at the
cold-cash side of the proposition. True.
the beneficial effects upon the social
and educational standards Of the com.
munity are not always susceptible OF
exact calculation, but they are certain
to come; and since a permanent road
costs money, we must know there is to
he a profit from somewhere to offset
the cost. Something for nothing nas
never yet been found.
Profits from a permanent road come
to the farmer In the reduction Of haul
ing costs. It puts him In q position
where he can get to market every DAY
in the year, and where he can haul two
loads at one trip instead Of having a
make two trips to haul one load.
