FHE salient exhibition of the mo-
ment is that of Courbets paint
ings, which has just been
opened at the Metropolitan Museum,
an exhibition dedicated absolutely to
the modern spirit. That is the spirit
prevailing in all the galleries just now.
But perhaps for this very reason
welcome doubly warm should be given
to the show current at the Canessa
gallery There is nothing modern
here. The great room In which Mr..
Altman used to hang the masterpieces
now assembled at the museum is re-
filed by the Messrs. Canessa after the
fashion of some rich Florentine pal
nzzo. Old furniture, old pedestals and
the lofty walls covered with some dark
stuff supply the needed stately back
ground The treasures arc Of ana
tiqnity and the Renaissance, with
sculpture playing leading part. An
exhaustive catalogue by Mr. Ernest
Govett, Miss Stella Rubinaten ard
Professor Arduino Colasanti describes
body of nearly four hundred objects.
One is in the atmosphere Of the
classics. 1t is remote, beautiful and
embodies the steadying influence to
which it is always desirable to return
from time to time under the pressure
of modern things.
Beginning in the smaller rooms,
which serve as a kind of introduction
to the main exhibition gallery, the col
lection begins also with some of the
earliest chapters in the history of
plastic art. A group of statuettes in
bronze and faience illustrates the
genius of Egypt, enchanting fgurines
recalling the age in which the grand
style was often fused with minute
ness of scale. An important piece in
this section is No. 10, superb royal
bust in rock crystal. The Greek and
Roman bronzes are likewise impress
sive. The Greek statuettes are works
of great beauty, notably the little
archaic Athena (No. 22), but we would
direct attention even more urgently
to the three sculptured disks believed
to have formed part of an Etruscan
chariot and to the magnificent bronze
tripod of the sixth century, bit of
craftsmanship of extraordinary rarity
These things, and the lovely axle head
Of bronze bearing the head of Medusa,
are, indeed, no less rich in pure beauty
than the early Marsyas, say, which
figures more conspicuously among the
Greek bronzes. The antique marbles
make a small but distinguished array
Leading them all is the fourth century
Head of a Poetess" (No. 46), which is
presented as perhaps an idealized por-
trait Of Sappho or Corinna. The idea
Of portraiture is confirmed by the sin
gular tenderness of expression in the
work. 1t is a little miracle of Greek
naturalism, as subtle in feeling, in true
emotional Interpretation, as it is lofty
in style. Its most notable companion
in the Canessa exhibition is a group
of the Three Graces, group akin to
that which travellers in Italy will re-
call from the library at Siena. We
note in this section some fine busts
and two remarkable Graco- Roman re-
liefs, Manads in marble, figures full
OF movement and grace.
Around these larger objects there are

affair, having an historical interest out
of proportion to its scale. This perfect
little collection serves to illustrate at
full length memorable aspect of
great talent. From the point of view
of pure etching it is not, perhaps,
extraordinarily important. Manet never
used the needle with the authority Of
the brush. He never was fully initi-
ated into its genius. Line was not to
him medium of expression cultivated
for its own sake and developed to a
point of brilliance which would have
made him denizen of the same world,
say, with Whistler That master, in
deed, could not merely have taught him
much as to the intrinsic magic of line,
but could have opened his eyes where
they most needed opening. He did not
comprehend the great law of the
etcher's being the law of omission. In
TYPOGRAPHY, too, he showed that he
could not draw as he could draw with
the brush. But he was Manet, which
is to say that he was an artist with

quality which distinguishes his paint

DRESIDENT WILSON'S progress through the
= Far West was painful indeed to the partisan
organs. In their attempts to explain the num-
bers and unmistakable friendliness of the audi
ences which greeted his eXpositions of the
League of Nations these newspapers find them
selves between the devil and the deep sea- If
they admit that it is the president and not the
league that is being acclaimed, they are thereby
forced to concede his personal popularity in
section that is normally republican. If they
attribute to the general sentiment for the league
the throngs and the enthusiasm which met him,
then they are compelled to admit that he was
right when he contended, and they wrong when
they denied that "an overwhelming ma jority
of the American people favors the league"
Whichever view they take they must necessa-
rily reverse their own previous assertions
TO those who are not myopc or otherwise
affected in their vision, it is plain that both the
president and the league are popular. Whether
the league is acceptable because Of the presi-
dents popularity, or whether the president is
popular because of the desrability of the league
is question which the partisans may discuss
as much as they choose--but without hope of
comfort, howsoever they answer it.
1t is only among certain republican senators
that both the league and the president are dis
liked And the league is dstasteful to them not
because of its intrinsic evils, weakness or de-
fects, but for the sole reason that Woodrow
Wilson is its chief sponsor.

A WORD TO VOTERS

Mo CITIZEN, man or woman, worker or EN-
Y ployer, can fairly answer the question
What has the special session of congress done
for me?" without sense of regret at having
voted last autumn to supplant the democratic
majority. More than two months have elapsed
since President Wilson recommended to the
special session the passage of certain statutes
which were intended and required to curb the
cost of living, and to restore business to the
normal status of peace. Not one of the presi-
dents recommendations has become law; no
substantial progress has been made toward their
serious consideration.
In the house of representatives the repub-
lican majority is composite of factions which
are a unit upon only one policy-that of oppos-
ing the president. In every question of con-
structive legislation they are an incoherent ag-
gregaton of cabals and coteries, unable and un-
willing to cooperate either with President Will
son or their own putative leaders. The senate's
record of inactiOn and recalcitrance is known to
all the world. 1t has become notorious under
its reactionary republican control, not for what
it has DONE right or wrong, but for all that it
has refused to do Opposing peace under what
ever guse Of patriotism its partisan directors
have chosen to assume it has perpetuated every
condition of war save that Of certainty.
What do the republican masses think of
their representatives in congress? What do they
purpose doing to correct the evils which they
voted upon the country-though perhaps un-
willingly? They cannot escape responsibility
for their party save by reforming or repudiating
its leadership.
