BLAKELOCK, PAINTER,
DIES IN ADIRONDACKS
Artists Real Worth Was Not Rec
ognized Until He Entered
Insane Asylum.

NEW YORK, August 11.-Ralph "A.
Blakelock. whose power as a painter
was recognized only after he had
been committed to the Middletown
Asylum for the Insane, died Saturday
in a camp in the Adirondacks, accord
ing to word received here. His friends
recently had obtained his release from
the asylum and had sent him to the
camp in the hope that the quiet of
the woods and mountains would re-
store his health.
For many years he hawked his
paintings about New York, obtaining
for them never more than q few dol
lars and undergoing the severest
hardships., In 1899 his mind gave
way and he was taken to the asylum.
suffering principally from a delusion
that he was the possessor of great.
wealth.
Partially restored in mind, he was
brought back to New York by friends
in 1916. The subways, the great
Pennsylvania and Grand Central ter
minals. the Woolworth building-all
these were new to the artist and he
laughed and rejoiced over them like
q boy. A year later. however, he was
returned to tho asylum.

Efficiency and Economy.

Declaring that efficiency and econ

to the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living. Judge Clark added

THE existing state of industrial
warfare" he added, dis more costly
workers or to the owners of capital.
Any plan for the solution Of the rail-
road problem which seeks the in
dorsement of the public should pro-
vide for share by the workers; in
the management and in the profits
arising. from increased efficiency. We
therefore welcome any we'll con-
sidered movement toward democratic
zation Of the railroads as being in the
interest not only of the workers, but
even more in the interest of the pub
lie.

To Protect Property Rights.

1.-THE rights of private property ac-
tually invested in the provision of
transportation service for the public
must be protected. At the same time
it is imperative in the interest of
economy and efficiency, and as a
means of decreasing the inflated cost
of living. that the returns to the
owners of capital. invested in the
transportation industry shall not ex-
coed the amount actually necessary
to secure their investment. and shall
not be paid upon fictitious capitalize
tion."
