Republican activity in South Caro-
lima? The state has for so long a
time been a one.party bailiwick the
report is interesting.
Interesting also is the announce.
ment that former Secretary Of the
Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw is to be a
speaker in the campaign. He Is one
Of the best stumpers in the country,
and personally popular north, east
and west. This should insure him at.
tention also in the south.
What explains the awakening? Is
there chance to elect a republican
representative or two in the Palmetto
state? If SO, what explains that? Have
the new issues growing out Of the war
taken such a hold on the electorate
a division there at last is possible?
Whether there is a chance or not,
the republicans have taken an intel.
l;gent step. They ought to be active
in every campaign. with candidates in
the field and organizations to support
them.
Most intelligent, too, is their choice
of visitor to lend a tongue. Mr..
Shaw will state the republican case

charging from SO to $685. q ton. What
Is charged for the remaining 10 per
cent is not stated.
The purpose of this agreement is to
bring the 20 per cent production
operators down from the prices they
have been heretofore charging, rang
ing up to $12 ton. But the consum.

whether 1t will not have the effect OF
also bringing up the prices charged
by the 70 per cent operators.

Another radio man has stuck to his

particularly vivid manner. When the
fire was found to be beyond control.
and the passengers were put off In the

but the nearest land was $40 miles
away. The radio cracked the call for
aid. and soon several ships were rae.

steamer West Faralon was first to ar.

picked up the boats and RATS. An
order was flashed to her from shore to

Art League to Present Noted Sculptor and
 Lecturer
By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

IA R R. LARADO TAFT. who will IWl speak tomorrow evening at AVA the Southern club. under the auspices of the Alabama Art league, is a sculptor of power and genius who has worKeo faithfully at his art for many busy years. He has produced during that time groups and single figures which have caused him to be recognized as one of the foremost of contemporary sculptors, and it Is said of him that when he has not been "chiseling soul into marble or molding high thought into clay" he has been featuring on his own art and on art in general.
 As an author, Mir. Taft writes bril- iiantly of the aims and ends of his craft and as a teacher he has left his impress on hundreds of students.
 For 22 years he was instructor of modelling in the Art Institute of Chi cago. From 1892 to 1902 he was a lecturer in the extension department on the University of Chicago and for many years has been actively iden- titled with the work of the National Sculpture society, the Society of Western Artists, the Chicago Society of Artists. the Municipal Art league and the Municipal Art Commission of Chicago. He has delivered more than 1000 lectures upon art subjects and though he now maintains three studios, he spends a great part of his time featuring in different parts of the country.
 Mir. Taft's work, because 1t Is big and vital, is of compelling interest; but he himself is equally as interest ing. He possesses a striking per- sonality and a noble and unselfish generosity which have made him uni versally beloved.
 His first great success was the commission for two groups at the en- trance of the horticultural building of the Worlds Columbian exposition. These, "The Sleep of the Flowers and The Awakening of the Flowers" attracted wide attention and placed him at onoe with the Dig men" in American art.
 Two groups, "The Mountain" and "The Prarie," made for the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis, were his next great works and "The Solitude of the Soul" won him a gold medal at the same exposition, and has since been made the subject Of numerous poems.
 His next important work was "The Great Lakes" in which the five great lakes are typified by five beautiful
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-19

female figures, joined In composition by q line of water.
 Best known of all Mir. Taft's work, Is "The Blind" for which his in- spiration was found In Maeterlinck 8 drama of the same name. This group represents the crucial situation in the play, where a company of sight less men and women who have for long been the wards of an aged priest, realize that their leader is dead, and that their only hope for guidance rests with the little child around whom they crowd. There is note of despair in the group, yet the dominant suggestion Is of faith and trust in the hope that "a little child shall lead them" The concep- ton, the grouping and the delineation of the grouping, huddiing, sightless ones. is said to be marvellous,
