his distinction? In what is rooted his
incompatible style? Is it anything
save the love of beauty which is the

Il is the sense Of beauty that has
been left out of Senior Zuloaga's COM
position. A realist, like all his great
predecessors in Spain, he has neverthe-
less missed the magic which has rem
dered their truths immortal. 1t is be-
cause he does not feel beauty, is not
interpenetrated with a passion for 1t,
that he gives us such clay-like surfaces,
such hot flesh tints, such garish color
generally. 1t is because he does not
feel beauty that his light suggests SO
little of nature and so much of the
windowless studio, that the grays per-
vading so many of his pictures are
leaden or leathery. The artist unites

A NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA

''The lower the wage, the greater
the profit" is no longer the motto of
American capital. A new era of in
dustrial idealism is rapidly spreading
over the United States. Besides
adopting the principle of safety first"
for the mutual benefit of labor and
capital, employers are now beginning
another movement of similar nature,
but more important. which provides
health for every man"
Employees are examined physically
at regular intervals, and if they are
ailing they are helped back to health.
If they are well, employers are help
ing them to keep well by shorter
hours, better ventilated factories and
more cheerful surroundings. The
rofit-sharing system has been
adopted by many large corporations,
and wages have been increased from
time to time to meet the changing
economic conditions. Capitalists are
no longer 'scrapping" men in the
sense that they scrap old machinery;
they are removing otherwise the OBJ
stacles of old and sick men and those
who have gone wrong.
The result is that the old antag-
onism which came down from the day
of the master and servant is gradually
passing. and employers and employees
are becoming co-operators.
Under these new circumstances,
Ida NJ. Tarbell, nationally known
writer on economic subjects, predicts
that the United States may win the
trade of the world, for it will be able
to make the best goods at the lowest
price.

the Emperor of Japan, through his for

They are finding a new joy in living
the joy of living for something else
than themselves. They are discover
ing a new purpose in wOrk-a purpose
larger than the satisfaction of their
own selfish interest. War is a bad
thing, but it can be a good thing for
individuals. We hope today that it
will be a good thing for humanity
for in the bitter realization of strug-
