Gentlemen: In the April issue of
your magazine, l read the article on
page 5S1, styled Intimate Glimpses of
Wallace, IDAHO" by your travelling
editor, and needless to say, had to
read the article over two or three
times to understand whether l was
really reading about Wallace or some
other town. I am writing you as a
disinterested party, as l am not a
resident of Wallace, nor have I any
financial interest in Wallace, my in
terest being only that of commercial
traveller and as l have been visiting
wallace, Idaho, off and on for the past
10 years on my trips through the west
and have watched the city develop.
must say that your travelling editor
must have been imbued with some of
the cheap liquor that is usually
struggled into a dry territory and af-
ter waking up he had forgotten what
city he was writing about.
wish to ask, are your readers ex-
pected to place the same amount of
confidence in all of your articles as
they do in the one you published re-
garding Wallace? If so, to put it
mildly the magazine is not worth the
paper it is written on. hereby chal-
lenge the following statements of
your travelling editor:
ming town, dingy dirty and tumbled-
down in appearance.
2. That the mine owners have
anlassed large fortunes almost over
night, or more rightly since the I'M
paralleled demand for lead because of
the war.
3. The merchants of the town are
there because they see opportunity of
selling clothing, food and other arti-
Giles to the miners at exorbtant prices.
4. There is little of permanence in
Wallace. This is due to the fact that
no one knows "how long the boom
will last"
3. Miners do not build permanent
homes when they don't know from
week to week whether they will be
there or not.
6. Merchants do not establish

The publishers of Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, of Chicago, must real
ize by this time that close censor
ship must be maintained on the ma
terial that fills its pages. even If the
contributions come from the pen Of
one who is dignified with the title OF
travelling editor" The Miner de-
voted considerable space to showing
the libelous character of the article
on this city which appeared in the
April issue of the magazine, and
Mayor Brown wrote the publishers to
the same effect. But indignation over
the publication was not limited to the
people of Wallace. About the time
the article appeared William F. Lewis
of st. Paul, travelling salesman rep
iesenting china and cut glass house,
dropped into Wallace on one of his
regular trips. He has been coming
here periodically for almost twenty
years and is well known to Wallace
business men, with whom he has built
up an extensive business. Mr.. Lewis
Is personal friend of DR.. and Mrs j.
Il. St. Jean, this friendship dating
from Anaconda, where Mr. Lewis and
the doctor formerly resided While on
his last visit here Mr.. Lewis was en-
tertained at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
ST. Jean, and it was there that his at
tention was called to the slanderous
article in Popular Mechanics direct
ed at this city. He was indignant be-
You'd expression and stated then that
he would write the publishers and let
them know from disinterested
source the extent to which they had
wronged the people of one of the most
public spirited and permanent cities
in the west. Mr.. Lewis kept his word !!
as evidenced by the following copy of |
his letter received this week by DR.. ST |

PORTRAITS BY PYLE
PUT ON EXHIBITION
American Artists Best Sitters
Have Been His Wife and
Himself.

An exhibition OF paintings In the
KTaushaar Galleries introduces an Amer
lean artist. William Scott Pyle, OF whom
we shall doubtless hear often In the
future. lie has clean, crisp talent for
portraiture. This talent is still In proc
ess ''of finding ITSELF" but It il already
enough developed to command the re-
spect OF Mr.. Pyle's youthful contempo-
raries. which IN a great deal. Hereafter
they will always wish TO see what he
does
Mr. Pyles two best sitters have been
himself and his wife Mrs Pyle has been
painted In profile out Of doors. with q de-
tailed vista of a formal garden and an
American hillside stretching out into the
distance. Francia. the great italian, has
not been copied. but nevertheless Francia
springs to mind at sight OF this portrait.
Mr.. Pyle Is such an honest and sincere
painter that there is no necessity OF ac-
custng him Of plagiarism.
Whatever there IL OF F'rancia IN the
portrait OF Mrs. Pyle must have been
put In consciously. Doubtless he even
said when beginning the task. II will do
little Francia business Just for fun"
To go the whole way with Francia IN
these days would be OF course impos-
sible, for Francia was n supercraftsman
and drew and painted with such amazing
forcefulness that no one could question
his results The people OF to-day. how
ever, find II impossible to be so search
ing with their analyses either OF land
scapes or people. There is n nervous
ness In the air that operates against sus-
tained effort. Mr.. Pyle's landscapes are
simply indicated. not painted, in the
Francian sense.
The figure has been laid with unusual
a n ain NJ L.. 81.
with that Of a great italian predecessor
has already been made. II would be per-
haps unfair not to hint that the place
ment OF the ear is uncertain. and that
the features. though finely Indicated. are
not as largely indicated as they might
have been. In the self portraits there is
an appreciable gain In breadth.
In portrait study called The Com
poser Mr.. Pyle has been very dashing
and clever. There are few Americans OF
the present who can introduce a piano
so cavalierly into a composition as that
few who can get as much fun out OF
painting the sheets OF music. the black
and white keys. and the polished woods
There is very little TO the picture
though besides the bravado>of the paint
Ing. and since the Workmanship is not
wholly without haws-one can lay one 6
finger here and there on tones that jump
out OF place-it is disqu!eting to see the
painting so quickly succumbing to what
is after all the prevailing sin among
American craftsmen-the wish to shirk
work.
Degas, who is famous for his Goose
handling. went through a long appren-
ticeship during which he studied the
model with as relentlessly hard "A vision
as Bouguereau. SO II the "looseness
which Mr.. Pyle desires is to come to
him It would really be better for all OF
us were he to continue to think of Fran
eia's completeness for some time to come.

Eugene Hale-"Gene" he was called

one or two decades ago among whom he
was by no means the least powerful

party. Failing health forced him out OF
the senate in 1911. but By that time ne
had achieved his ambition of having
seen longer service In the upper branch
of Congress than any other man then
serving in the Senate.
legislative experience was not new to
the man from Maine when lie was elected
to the Forty-hrst Congress, He was
not an orator, and his methods were
not nearly as picturesque as the men
among whom he labored. Nevertheless
he was a never varying conservative
who stuck doggedly to his opinions and
hi. co,yictiops and rose to a leadership
that was az powerful almost as any ever
welded in Congress.
He entered public life soon after the
close OF the civil war. when he served
three terms IN the Maine Hotlse OF Rep
