Willard Straight
A Welcome Memorial of an Able
Craftsman

Two very different American artists
both lost to US, come to mind in the
presence of the drawings by the late
Major Willard Straight which have
been placed on view at the Arden gal
lery. One is John La Fargo. The other is
Robert Blum. They are the salient mem
bers of our school associated with ideas
of the Orient. They went to Japan and
brought back memorable impressions.
We think of them now because we be-
lieve they would have liked Straight's s
drawings, would have recognized in him
worthy fellow adventurer. And
Straight was, we suppose, what is gem
orally called an amateur, man who
sank artistic impulses in business
career, drawing only for his own pleas
ure. He proves, once more, that that Is

something artistic and beautiful. Thev
form a category apart, both stimulating
ana troublous to the critical imagina-
tlon. One balks at what is irnmature
so to say, in their works And one is
always coming back to them with q
certain appreciation.
Mr.. Bryson Burroughs is of their
line. He has collection of PAINTINGS
and drawings at the Montross gallery
the flrst exhibition he has made in
three years. 1t revives all his old
charm and leaves all his old foibles
practically unchanged. We say "foibles"
because it is, to tell the truth, a little
difficult to believe that he really needs
to deal in such inert surfaces, in color
schemes that often deviate into
repelient slatiness. 1t is in his draw
ings that he wakes these thoughts of
his having more technique than he
cares to carry into his paintings. The
drawings are frequently beautiful
! things, beautiful in touch, with the
subtle lifting OF line to higher status,
so that it is expressive of individuality
and feeling. Is there an echo in them
of the style of Puvis? We have won
dered before, and we wonder again. But
it does not matter. If Mr.. Burroughs
has sat at the feet of the great French
man it has been with the ardor of a
disciple, not that of an imitator. The
outcome is fine atmosphere about his
craftsmanship, an accent of nobil-
:ty. All the more disconcerting is it,
then, to find the paintings with this
atmosphere not precisely blighted, but
at any rate lessened almost to the point
cf being dried up.
There are times when Mr.. Burroughs
delightfully."- realizes his aim. Look at
the simple pastoral which he calls
"June," the scene in which an episode of
the American countryside is Transcribed
with the detailed realism of Primitive.
Technique and idea are harmonized. The
observer is at perfect peace with the
artists impression. It is so with few
of the poetic compositions, with "The
Admonition" (in which the color is un
usually rich and varied) and again in
the blond "Nausicaa." In the main,
however, the persistent key of rather
grayish tone is left deplorably cold, de-
plorably lacking in quality, and disap-
.pointment is increased by the painters
failure to draw with the brush half so
we'll as with the crayon or pencil. There
remains the spell of his ideas, the ro-
mantle glamour Of his NEUROLOGICAL and
other conceptions. These have an au-
thentic spirit in them, and they are set
forth with considerable power of design.
Corporeal beauty evidently does not
greatly concern Mr.. Burroughs. Neither
his forms nor his faces are impressive. |
1t is the broad imaginative purpose in
his work that counts. On that point he |
scores over and over again, with unmis-
taxable originality, an originality which |
may have been stirred, as we have in
dicated, by Puvis, or, perhaps, by Giotto,
but which preserves its integrity. He is |
true to the tradition of his group. No
matter how much we may wish his
technique developed there is no gain
saying the force of his ideas.

WIVES COMPENSATION ."'
WOULD DESTROY MARRIAGE
BY Edith c. johnson in Daily
Oklahoman

Husbands are to assume the role of
employers and wives that of en-
ployes in the state of Kansas if a
wives compensation bill, introduced
in the Kansas legislature by Mrs.
Minnie Grinstead of Liberal should
become law.
The bill, which was introduced this
week will permit a wife to recover
damages from her husband if in per-
Torrance of her duties as house wife,
she suffers any injury.
Suppose the wife descending to the
cellar to procure a can of tomatoes
to cook for the family dinner, trips
and falls an the stairs, breaking an
arm or a leg. She will be under the

ages. Or suppose she steps out of thu
back door some sharpe winter morn
ing to hung up the teatowels, ant
slips and falls on the ice, injuring hel
spine, perhaps permanently. The next
step will be to call her lawyer and
launch a claim against friend hus.
band. Or, perhaps she catches her
finger in the wringer, crushing the
end Of it. Friend husband may be
sued for $500 or $4,000 according to
his ability to pay.
If it be the purpose of Mrs. Grin
stead to abolish marriage in Kansas
all she needs to do is to get her bill
passed and functioning actively in
the state.
We know that marriage is based on
property, that the man says to his
wife at the altar with all my world
ly goods thee endow."
The very last consideration with
men and women who love each other,
however, is the matter Of property
rights. They pool their interests,
they serve equally, and they share
equally alike. If the husband be-
comes i'll or disabled, and they have
no money, the wife goes out and
earns aliving for herself and her
husband so long as he may live.
If the wife is disabled, the husband
works and takes care Of her to the
best of his ability. No lawyer is
called in to settle claims for dam
ages. They would be shocked at the
very thought.
It will be a sad thing for this
world when husbands and wives be-
gin to war on each other as labor
and capital long have. The most SER
ious question we have before us in
the world today, barring those ques-
lions involving marriage and home
and children, is that of capital and
labor. In some places there is open
in others an armed truce.
Each side fights every inch of the
way for advantage. In some parts
of the world, as we know, labor would
start a revolution if it thought it
could get away with it.

added, declined to be bound by instruc-
