PUBLIC PROTEST ENDS AN ART CONTROVERSY
Philadelphia Public Ledger)

Those who believe that conspicu- ous object of public art should be an espisodic revelation of bizarre person nel ideas will rejoice that the Ameri- can committee appointed to decide the vexing controversy as to what statue of Lincoln shall be set up in London has chosen the St. Gaudens Lincoln over that of George Barnard.
 For more than a year and a half very unseemly controversy has ragged over the curious decision of the Amer ican peace centenary committee to send to London a replica of Barnard's grotesque statue. The controversy. which is now ended, became unseen ly and acrimonious owing to the fla natical attitude of the Barnardites. who made the acceptance of Lincoln as a barnyard rOustabout almost a matter of religion. With them there was no half way about it. The dig nified protest of Robert T. Lincoln against the Barnard caricature of the great president and martyr, his father, was unanswered.
 Calls for Comparison
 However now that the smoke has cleared away and London will not be confronted daily with a statue of Lih- coin that deliberately refused to rep resent him as the president and sa- yior of the Union, but chose to show l him as a lanky farmland, one must congratulate the American artists and sculptors who rose in their might and upset the plans of those who had elected to foist Barnard's statue on London. largely because it was thought and paid for" And mo money had been secured to make a duplicate of the St. Gaudens statue. l As this precise moment It IS not necessay to compare the St. Gaudens with the Barnard work or to attempt ito place" the merits or demerits of the Barnard statue. Many a work of art produced by a master presents a certain character which may make It an interesting museum piece, but which, if the work were placed con- spicuously in a situation that calls for continual public examination, may quite fail to meet the public and monumental needs. no matter how much of a genius or man of talent the creator may be.
 To Serve High Purpose
 The idealization Of St. Gaudens will have stimulating effect on the ef- fort of the English people to under stand a great American.
 It has met the test over here and will over there. and if there be any craze in England to see Mir. Barnard vision, the demand can easily be ac- commodated by presenting the sculp- ture to any one of the art galleries or museums in London that may ap- ply for it.

They Ride in Cars

Judge R. A. Kingsbury, deputy tax assessor for the Mesa district, fur nishes the following bit of information relative to the number of autos in this vicinity. as proportioned among the taxpayers. He noted 102 assessment schedules on his desk and 75 of them contained notice of auto ownerships, several carrying more than one ear. Tractors were not included in the list. Judge Kingsbury figured up the occu- pations and found that more than 75 per cent of the 102 assessment lists were from farmers. and almost without exception these owned their autos. The above should indicate somewhat of the probable attitude of the1valley farmers toward the question of good roads.

THE TOLEDO FIASCO

Now people know that Jesse Will
lard never whipped Jack Johnson at
Havana and that Johnson simply
"laid down. to the big Kansan for a
stipulated price We never believed
johnson was licked by Willard and
the writer published the statement at
the time of the fight that Johnson
had .1aid down. The colored fighter
sent messenger to his white wife
who was in the crowd near the ring
side, telling her to leave, that the
fight would be over the next round,
and she left. Johnson did not have a
mark or scar on him. The next
round he ''went down for the count"
and Willard was declared world
champion.
Willard has never fought since. He
has had few boxing matches with
men of inferior calibre, but he re-
fused to fight for the benefit of the
Red Cross or any of the army work
cused of being yellow" and slack
er, and he is all of that and more, too.
He is the prince of takers. He has
held the world championship as a
prize fighter for four years and has
never whipped anybody.
The fiasco at Toledo on July will
do much to kill prize fighting. Two
fake fights in succession will disgust
the sporting world. Willard has been
a big bluff and his hackers knew it.

Loss of Appetite

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for few days you will soon
have relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a sec
ond meal is taken. Then if you eat no
more than you crave and take rea-
sonable amount of outdoor exercise
every day you will not need to worry
about your appetite. When the loss
of appetite is caused by constipation
as is often the case, that should be
corrected at once. A dose of Cham
berlain's tablets will do it. J

RAPID ADVANCEMENT.

A woman from Kendrick remarked
that she attended the Fourth of July
celebration in Moscow 10 years age
and that DR.. Gritman's automobile
the only one in Moscow, was almost
as much of an attraction as the air
plane was this year.
This simply calls to mind the rapid
advancement of the world. Twenty
years ago the automobile was cur.
iosity Today it is a necessity. To-
day the airplane is a curiosity, but
in five years it will be a commercial
necessity and will be carrying pas
sengers, freight, mail and express to
many points.
Great Britain is fitting up its
bombing airplanes used against the
Germans, for passenger service and
the planes that were used to drop
bombs on the Huns, now carry II to
20 passengers at 60 to 80 miles an
hour and they ride in perfect east
and comfort in luxurious upholstered
furnishings and in as great safety
as the early automobiles furnished.
Surely the negro who exclaimed

expenses were many, many times
greater than the amount paid for adj
mission. Willard got 100000 for the
fight. He demanded that sum before
he would enter the ring and risk the
| title which he had never earned. Jack
| Dempsey, real fighter, much small
er than his gigantic opponent, got
only $27.500 for winning the fight,
being guaranteed that sum "win or
lose" which was the guarantee to
Willard, who got the long end of the
dirty purse.
Willard can retire and live at east
on his ill-gotten gains. Every dol
lar he has secured from the public in
the past four years, has been by false
pretenses. He is respected by no
one and his money will buy him lit
