THIS from the Ohio Valley Times:
"Ihe howl going up from the press
all over the country because of the
move to deprive them of "wet'' ad-
vertising is both amusing and instruc-
tive. The proposed Outstanding Of
the press is merely the coming home
to roost Of that large fowl of fanti-
cism which the press at the dictation
Of the Anti-Saloon League has helped
to raise.
This chicken of magnificent proper
tons seems to be crowding the cash
register on the press home roost,
hence the frantic howls from the bus
iness office. The press of the country
has been and still is Subsidized through
fear, and added to this lack OF cour-
age, this c%owardice, has been the base
and ignoble idea that hypocritical
pandering to this element would be
profitable.
The press has catered to that cam

OF the press, and this is only a begin.

the press Of the country may as we'll
prepare for 1t. The abject surrender
OF the news columns OF the press to
these propagandists led as naturally
as night follows day to the assump-

kind Of proprietary interest in the
advertising columns also.
The surrender in the first instance
had been SO extremely abject, the
spirit of toadyism so servile, that 1t is
not strange If the regulators presumed
that no demand they might make

HERE is what Golfers Weekly
thinks OF California, which has the
greatest wine industry in America,
and recently voted against prohibition
by an overwhelming majority: "Cali-
fornia, as it stands to-day, is the most
successful experiment in human So
ciety that has ever existed on earth,
1t has 10 poverty; it has no slums; it
has the maximum of political freedom;
the wealth is generally distributed.
The average family living in Cali
fornia to-day has ces to comforts
and material pleasures such as are ut
terly unknown to large portions of
the population, not only OF Europe,
but OF Eastern United States; and as
for the Economically idealized
civilizations of Florence, Rome and
Greeee--hardly the meanest Califor-
nian would have cared to be a patri-
clan among the Caesars. To some ex-
tent, CT course, this is due to climate;
to some extent to soil; but some folks
think a good deal of it is due to the in
teiligence with which the affairs OF
human society have been treated in
California for some years past"

Craftsmanship as an Asset

An inquiry into the character OF an
exhibition follows, naturally, very sim
pie lines. One is curious to sec, in
the first place, if the work shown is
we'll done. But all the time one is also
in an eagerly receptive mood, keen on
being interested, anxious TO meet the
picture that will compel long, de-
lightful pause. The Spring Academy
bears reasonably enough the first Of
these tests; under the other it makes
ono of the poorest records in its his
tory. If it were not for the landscape
mon it would suffer something like hu-
initiation. But they can always be re-
lied upon 20 come to the rescue, and
this year they do as they have done
before. supplying so many spots on the
walls which, if not brilliant. are, at all
events, pleasing. The first picture, en-
countered on the very threshold, Mr..
K. Sloan Bredin's December slight
affair, is nevertheless a good omen.

There is an art of tushery in paint
ing. as there is one in letters. At pro
digious cost. in time and energy you
learn how to paint, which is to say that
you learn what every journeyman ought
to know. Then you pose your model in
the studio or in n garden, apropos Of
nothing. and reproduce the scene on
canvas as well as you can. And there,
if you are a good tusher, you leave It,.

another with an energy that is as tire
less as it is amazing. Life is so full
Of things to paint. so full in its variety,
that in his desire TO miss nothing it is
very possible that he has missed every
thing. But we shall return to this
later
This artist is by nature a realist;
by nature and training. He is Of the
school of Americans whose antecedents
are Daumier, Balzac. Flaubert. Degas,
and. perhaps. Goya. His view of nature
may be obscured a little by the glasses
that these men have handed down,
glasses that tend to make the record
suggestive of academic thought. In any
case, he has his eyes wide open for

treating each. whether a man or a
mountain. with equal interest; equal
interest in so far as real attention
and sympathy are concerned. That Is
a trait Characteristic of virtuosi. In
the years since Mr. Bellows's first ex-
hibition he has evolved a language
which is definitely his own. Like q
good many Americans and to a greater
degree than most-he possesses an ex-
ocutiye ability which lends TO anything
from his brush an element Of conclu-
siveness. so that we realize. in any
instance. that the plan of action was
we'll conceived and carried out with
facile mastery. He comes back from
a summer in the country, for example,
with a hundred pictures. done pell-
nell or at haphazard, but always with
certain finish, giving a kind Of
salience 70 each one. despite the fact
that they may be all born OF the same
thought

do but little toward deviation from the
original idea lodged in the painters

Mr. Sidney Dickinson. All these pieces
will pass muster in technique, and
most OF them have, into the bargain, a
certain plausible sprightliness. If only
one could shake Off the impression Of
futility which they convey In 1888,
when he was staying at Hyeres. and
embarked upon the writing of "The

weight he had no illusions at all, Ste

thus announced his occupation: 81
