Most Encouraging Report
TO Governor
ASKS STATE TO
PURCHASE Him AUTO

State Collector Of Revenue John Titus
has submitted to Governor Townsend
his annual report. which shows a large
Increase In revenue collected from
merchants and manufacturers. The in
crease for the past three years has
been nearly S9s.0O0, or an average OF
almost $4,000 q year.. In his inyestlga-
tions, Mr. Titus says that he found
many cases OF false returns being
made. During the year he travelled 49,
600 miles collecting the revenue and
making investigations. In his report
he asks the State 20 furnish him an
automobile. The report follows:
Hon. John G. Townsend, Dover Del
Dear Sir IL submit herewith foc your
information a report Of my work os
collector OF State revenue during the
year 1918.
During that time / travelled about
1900 miles through the State. this be
ing caused largely by the necessity Of
investigating reports, that many per-
sons and firms, throughout the State
were engaged in various kinds Of busi-
ness without a State license.
A large number Of statements made
under oath by merchants and manufac-
turers when applying for yearly
mercantile license, were investigated.
and In nearly every case the amount
sworn too was greatly below the
amount ascertained by my examination.
In a few cases where ID was plain that
there was no criminal INTENT the party
at fault was permitted to make cor
rection upon payment Of the difference
plus a penalty OF % per cent. for not
paying at the time required by the
statute. The remaining cases were
brought to the attention Of the Grand
Jury OF the different counties. and in
all cases the defendant was indicted,
and when brought into court, plead
guilty and received fines Of from S25
to 500, and compelled 10 pay the DIFF
ference with the penalty OF % per cent.

tons during the last three years is a

The Personal Touch Versus
Academic Discipline

So long as Mr.. Hassam paints land
scape he is on safe ground. The charm
of his pictures may vary, but funda-
mentally they maintain their vital, in
teresting quality. With the figure he
takes his chances, sometimes hits the
mark, but as often stumbles into dull
ness. The nude, brought we'll into the
foreground, almost invariably battles
HIM. The cleaning bodies now and then
enlivening his outdoor scenes are paint
ed on a small scale, they are no more
than piquant accents on the main
theme, and they fit pleasantly into the
picture Ioslated and studied at
full length, they are sadly disap-
pointing. Take the "Spring Gar
land" of 1909. or the youth" Of
1914. They are pretty bits, but that is
all. They disclose no distinction of line,
no skill in modelling. Curiously, they do
not even reflect the gusto which is ordi-
narily inseparable from Mr.. Hassam's
work. They seem to have been painted
doggedly, by main strength, and at the
same time. if we may risk the seeming
contradiction in terms, feebly. What
has become of that personal touch on
which we are inclined to lay so much

sable in art. Lacking it, the artist
might as we'll put up the shutters. 1t
has worked and still works something
like miracles for Mr.. Hassam. 1t has
placed him in the front rank of Amer
lean painters. Because he has it, his
work remains an admirable example
OF good American painting" And vet
We never see a collection of his pic
lures, rich, as this one is, in sensa-
lions for which we are grateful, with
out wishing that divers other virtues
had been added unto him. Think Of
what his nudes would be like if they
were put together with more construc-
tive powert Think Of what his art
would be with finer elements of in
ventive design, with a deeper imagina-
tive glow, with a wider scope as to
ideas! But to think these thoughts is
possibly to go little nearer than we
ought to go to the unlawful process
of asking Mr.. Hassam to be somebody
else. Let US rejoice, instead, that his
ardor for beauty, for light and color,
and for the sheer poy of painting takes
him as far as it does. 1t takes him a
long way.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-23

haps, but there is a difference, and it
IS IN this difference that we find the
explanation of Mr.. Hassam's success as
all artist. His craftsmanship is more
sensitive than theirs; he has a more
eXact'ng taste. He has founded his
ivory tower not on any reconcile ideas.
He has no interest in subject as sub
ject. There is only trace of senti-
ment, and that a slight one, in this
entire exhibition, the picture of the
girl at the piano, "Thc Marechal Mel
Rose" But all through his paintings
there is disclosed the best foundation
of ALA feeling for beauty. There
are times when decorative beauty at
tracts him. Witness the background
in "The West Indian Girl" the web of
form and color based on fruits and
LEAKAGE. But as a rule the beauty for
which he searches is in no wise con-
fined within the borders of a pattern.
1t is, instead, the beauty of nature
pure and simple, an affair Of light and
color, of some casual moment of SEN
suous charm. Specifically consid
cred, Mr. Hassam seems a versatile
type. He uses all the mediums. He
paints the figure and he paints land
scapc. Still life interests him. He has
wandered far and WIDE here and in
Europe, in pursuit Of his themes, and
wherever he goes he interprets what
he sees with marked sympathy and un-
derstanding. Nothing could be more
intensely local" than his delightful
pastel, "The Graveyard at Lexington,
Mass" unless it be the tiny sketch of
an English seawall, the "Broadstairs !"
There is versatility, we suppose, in all
this. Yet there is one thing which he
does better than anything else.
This is the kind of picture that is
represented by "The Laurel in the
Lodges, Appledore," or by "The Sea
Gull" Such works as these inspire the
surmise that if Mr.. Hassam had devoted
himself altogether to landscape he might
have made himself one of the greatest
pillars of our school. He has the salient
merit of our school, which is to exploit
than to work out the ACCIDENTALLY bal
anced composition. His open air sub
jects are never forced-they happen.
He has wonderful gift for the defni
ton of ground forms, for the free but
exact delineation of rocky shores, for
| the painting Of green things, and the
clear, cool illumination of skies. The
sylvan sweetness of the October
Woods" is beyond praise. He has
dealt over and over again with the
motive of this composition and in those
versions of it which have set nude fig
ures against a screen of trees he has
sometimes deviated into somewhat
specious effect. But the October
Woods" doesn't harbor a single mere
tricious stroke. Here his wonted sim
certify again wins the day.
