CINCY HAS NEW USE FOR
ITS WORKHOUSE

There is some talk in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, of re-opening a part
of the wofkhouse of that city
which has been closed under
Prohibition-not to take care
of the victims of drink as in
former days, but to hold those
arrested for selling liquor con-
trary to law. Well, if men
have to be locked up it will be
a gratifying change to see boot
leggers and speakeasy keepers
in the cells rather than men
who are too weak to control
their appetites.

AN OVERWORKED CHEMIST

City Chemist Knapp, OF Cleveland,
says that the testing of the liquor
taken in raids by the police OF that
city will prevent the speedy prosecu-
ton of liquor law violators, as he
can not keep up with the work. He
is now about 100 cases behind. He
explains that each bottle of liquor re-
quires a separate analysis, and the
chemist who makes the test must tes-
tify in court when the case comes up.

THE. AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Portraits of Moses by great artists,
very just in the degree that these ar
lists vary from each other, and may
always be explained by time and
place. But each is an inspired
presentation of great idea. To
Raphael and his epoch he was pic
tured as great law-giver who bore
himself like Roman, sometimes
having rays of light about his brow,
sometiems actually horned. Rem
brandt's Moses, holding above his
head in his two hands the tablets of
law, shows us the head of a suffering
man, noble in it's burden of almost
agonizing grief.
For the rendering of stupendous
terror, of the awfulness of the pla-
CUES and the destruction of the
Hosts, of all super-human powers let
loose, none can compete with Gus
tave Dore. The imaginative quail
ties of his engravings must awaken
anyone to the grandeur of the old He
brew literature. Still another treat
ment of a Biblical happening is the
purely poetical one adopted by Arthur
Hacker in his picture entitled "And
there was great cry in Egypt" We
are on the outskirts of a sleeping,
moonlit, oriental city, as yet quiet,
ignorant of the catastrophe. The
Angel of Death is speeding on it's
great wings from the city it has
stricken with it's flaming sword, his
face hid in his arm, as though hor-
ror-struck at his own power.
The modern treatment of these
stories in their best manifestation,
from the standpoint of painting, CIV
ing us all the curious beauty of ar
Genealogical detail, and presenting all
the splendor of the rich and mighty
kingdom of Egypt, the beauty of the
carved stones, the gorgeous enamel
ings, aristocratic luxury of it's princes
and priests, is that Of the English ar
lists Alma Tadema, Sir E. F. Poyn-
ter, Ernest Normand, and Sir Freder-
lex Leighton. Poynter's Israel I in
Egypt" is a panorama of the Egyp-
tian city with its splendidly carven
walls, tall obelisks, gigantic basalt
statutes. Two great Sphinx are be-
ing drawn on huge wooden trucks to
their places before some palace, the
procession preceded and followed by
princesses and personages in power
in gorgeous palanquins with fanbear-
ers and musicians and every concomi-
ytant of Indifference to realities of ,hu-
man suffering. aus The great trucks
with their. burden of tons of stone are
being drawn by hundreds of Hebrews,
encouraged or. forced on by taskmas-
tiers with long lashes. Poynter also
painted a "M6ses and Aaron before
Pharoah," showing the interior of an

Egyptian palace, both scenes, how
ever, lacking in any great artistic in
spiration or real emotional appeal.
Ernest Normand's "Death of Phar-
oah's First-born" is more human in it's
sympathies, and beautiful as we'll in
it's handling of textures and detail.
We are on the terrace Of the palace
and women are lamenting over the
young boy who lies dying on his mo-
theirs knees. Fanbearers, priest
over his incantations at one side, and
Pharoah standing apart in perturbed
and gloomy meditation make up the
picture. Lord Leighton's death of
the First-born" is even more human
We are in no palace, but in a plain
Egyptian house: A father bathing
the brow of the sufferer, a wailing
mother, the Angel of Death flying
past the window, are composed with
a feeling of gloom. Alma Tadema's
First born" is again that of the
King. He is impressive, erect, immo-
bile, hiding all vestige Of emotion be-
fore the weeping women, the helpless
and baffled physicians, the chanting
priests still trying to induce the gods
to yield. The boy lies across his lap
his bandaged hand dropping into his
mothers lap. Through the open door
we may perceive the figure of Moses
and Aaron awaiting the decision of
the King. Psychologists assert that
all to the minutest detail in the pic
ture is correct, as also with his love-
lier, because gayer, canvas, showing
the Finding of Noses" in which the
baby's basket, fringed with lotus
flowers, is borne on the shoulders
of slaves, a painting that was done
to celebrate the opening Of the Nile
dam in 1902.
Finally, we come to Tissot. Here
we feel that, though hampered in
certain directions by the times in
which he lived from achieving great
ness, yet his work in illustrating the
Bible has been done with love,
deep religious feeling, and great
technical proficiency. His costumes
and detail of all kinds as to building.
scenery and history, are correct and
yet they do not seem to him to be
the most important part of the paint
ing; and his types of personages have
individuality, racial characteristics,
and are sympathetically understood.
His have, too, the distinction of be-
ing the only paintings of the Bible
which were actually. painted on the
scene, in which they originally took
place: Tissot lived and worked on
the7sbanks of the Nile and in the
desert ofvArabia, and, cutting him
self off from modern Western life,
became absorbed by his subject.
Thus he achieved sincerity that is

clared in his immortal speeches and
public documents, for the establish
ment of League Of Nations to pre-
vent war and AN international court
to adjust and settle disputes between
nations, not word Of criticism was
directed toward his policies; but no
sooner had victory crowned our arms
and before the diplomats could gath

partisan hatred and intrigue of "A cot

signed and cabled their opposition to
Paris to discredt and destroy our
President who was negotiating it.
They discussed and condemned the
treaty before il was submitted TO the
Senate and before they knew what it
was, and still they ask intelligent
Americans To believe them sincere in
an opposition to it. There is not a
criticism that has been made TO the

leaders for now conducting pre-

pandering to support of pro-germans,
who wish to destroy the treaty of

at the record made by it in this state

7. We condemn the use of eXces-

we have by the eXtention of the

suffrage by amendment to our Fed
eral Constitution, and rejoice that
such great reform should be in eff
