NEWS FROM STATE CAPITOL

Jefferson City. Mo-, Feb. 25.-While
the editor of the page, "Art and Art
ists," of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat in the issue of Sunday, February
20, in no soothing and gentle manner
dashes cold water on the fitness, eff
ficiency and reliability of State Sen
ator William G. Irwin as an art critic
mural expert and master on what
constitutes symmetrical proportions,
accuracy and propriety in oil paint
ings, the bombastic, derogatory har-
angue of that toga wearing official a
few days ago, directed at the costly
decorations in the Senate chamber,
has had the direct effect of defeating
measure to expend 100000 more to
reproduce further scenes depicting
early Missouri history on the walls of
the House of Representatives and
elsewhere in the magnificent and
costly State Capitol. "''-
When the measure which set aside
for further mural paintings that
amount of money from the balance to
the credit of the Capitol building
fund came UP in the House for en-
grossment it was overwhelmingly de-
feated by the representatives from
the counties often politely referred to
as rural Missouri" These legislat-
ors undoubtedly possessed with the
same spirit that swayed Senator r.
win the day he delivered his now fam
Gus metaphorical TRADE against the
historic masterpieces on the walls of
the Senate chamber, deemed it sacri-
igious to appropriate money to dec
crate the walls of the House with
scenes which are dear to the descend
ants of Missouri's pioneer settlers
while the park around the State Cap
itol remains unsightly. barren of
trees and shrubbery, and without
walks, driveways and other finishing
touches.
While the art critic of the "Great
Religious Daily" Of st. Louis did not,
in his criticism of the satyrical dis
sertation of Senator Irwin on the Sen
ate chamber mural decorations that he
Is a hummer, or even worse, q diet
tante, yet his language would have
been softer and not as penetrating
had he let him down with the asser-
ton that when it came to supposed
masterpieces in paintings he was an
iconbclast Senator Blodgett of st.
Louis comes in for his share ct atten-,
tionyin the same article for upholding
Senator Irwin in his contentious.
Bouquets are lavishIy tossed on Sem
etcrs Collins, Proctor and McCul-
Ioagh for then knowledge of what
constitutes real art; and, forstheiss at
titude in opposition to the pofnp6tis,.
learned and intelligent discourse on
mural decorations. Here is the eu-
phuistic reply of the Art Editor of the
st. Louis Globe-D Democrat to the
highly interesting commentary of Sen
ator Irwin on the extensive Senate
decorations:
