The Frick Library of Art.

The work which the Friek estate
has undertaken in establishing COM
plete reference library of pictorial
art is amazing in its magnitude. To
collect, arrange and index photo
graphic reproductions of all the
paintings and drawings OF the last
eight centuries of Western civiliza-
ton Is a task fit to arouse the ad-
miration of all who realize the diff
Guilty of the undertaking as we'll as
the value of the result.
How many men and women of Eu-
rope and America have toiied to put
life on canvas or paper with brush
or pencil and have been successful
enough to have their work preserved?
Nobody can say exactly. but a huge
biographical work, planned in Ger
many before the war, listed more
than 100000 artists. And of many
artists work there is almost no end.
The greatest and most careful of all,

sand paintings and sketches.
The territory which the collectors
must cover ranges from the Caspian
westward to the Golden Gate. Every
country of Europe has its treasures,
big and little. There are worthy
paintings and drawings in galleries,
museums, churches, monasteries, pub
lie institutions and private homes.
Italy alone boasts $4,000 churches
and chapels, each Of which, from the
Sistine down to the 'humblest wor'
Shipping place of the peasant, con-
tains some pictorial art. Who would
net envy the photographer assigned
to make the rounds in few win
ters? Leave the figures for the rest
of Europe to the Imagination. Com.
ing to the United States, the fact
that there are 100000 prints in the
Library of Congress suggests the
hugeness of the job which is to be
done through the munificence of the
late HENRY G. FRIcK.
The reference library should be a
great help not only to students OF
art and architecture but to all who
are interested, academieally or com
mercially, in professions or bust
nesses with which art is linked. The
historian, the novelist, the play
wright, the decorator, the theatrical
producer, the costumer, the furniture
maker-all will have at their com
mand, when the work is given to the
public, the most complste collection
Of it's kind ever assembled. The his.
torian of water supply viii find DA

pump logs. The Wild Yves. novelist
will be able to see how REMINGTON
dressed his characters.
America has at present nothing
which at all fills the need which the
pictorial reference library will sat
isfy. Thanks to Mr.. Tricks gener.
osity, we shall soon have something
expected to surpass the collection OF

Better Jurors Needed.

Several incidents occurring within
few days have indicated mat some
thing is wrong in this city's machine
of justice. First we see Judges dis
charging juries because the jurors
acquitted prisoners against whom the
police testimony was strong. Again
we see a mistrial declared-and
properly so-because a juror broke
out with a plea to the prosecuting
attorney to give the defendant a
chance. Judges are disturbed, jurors
grumble, lawyers argue.
The worst thing about these oc-
currences is that they tend to arouse
suspicious among the unthinking as
TO the soundness of the jury system.
That system of itself is all right.
After more than five centuries of
trial II is still the best bulwark Of
common justice that has been de-
vised. 1t is written into our Consti-
tutions, Federal and State. 1t must
stay there. 1t should, as the New
York Constitution says, remain in
violate forever
If we are to assume what Is prob
ably true, that the faults which have
recently come to the surface so dra-
matically are due to the poor per-
sonnel Of juries, then the juries are
not to blame. The fault lies in the
manner of choosing jurors; and, COM
ing down to the final analysis, the
onus must be put on the man who
doesn't serve on the jury rather than
on the one who does serve and fails.
Unless his sense of public duty is
on a par with his intelligence and
prosperity the American male SHES
at a jury notice. He tries in every
way his conscience will permit to
wriggle out of service as one of
twelve good men and true. lie has
been known to join the National
Guard or the suburban fire company
merely for the sake of keeping off
juries. If he is not exempt and is
called before the Commissioner of
Jurors or court he gives every
thinkable excuse for escaping.
The result of the intelligent citi-
zen's avoidance of service is that
many poorly equipped men arrive in
the jury box. Once there, however,
their rights as jurors should be re-
spected. Under the law-and it is a
good lay--the jury is the judge OF
the facts. It's verdict must be ac-
cepted. The Judge who discharges a
jury for not accepting the testimony
OF the police is not helping the
courts For one thing, he Is shaking
public faith in the jury system.
Again, he is making citizens all the
more eager to avoid jury service; no
man cares for a judicial scolding.
Thirdly, and most important of all,
the Judge is likely, however good his
intention may be, to prejudice the
case of defendant Better that an
occasional scoundrel should go Yp.

Wagner's Tristan und Isolde" was
given last evening the Metropolitan
Opera House for the third time this
season. The performance differed largely
from the two previous ones because of
the important fact that Nine. Florence
Easton sang Isolde in place of Nine.
Matzenauer She had impersonated an
English tongued Isolde with the COM
pany at this house once last spring.
Well schooled in the traditions of Ger

foregone conclusion that Nine. Easton
would readily adapt herself to the role
when sung in its original tongue. Her
portrayal of the Irish princess was
again wholly lovely in conception, but
with the artistic gain In power OF re-
stored musical symmetry and color
through use of the German text. Her
voice needed more warmth and volume IN
parts of her music, but her fine skill In

the high notes, together with her ad-
mirable intelligence in action, served to
preserve the correct Interpretation of the

Another "Why" of the Tragedy

The statement attributed to the
Chief of the Army Air Service, Major
General PATRICK, that there was
enough helium in the country TO fill
the Roma, points to one of the vari-
Gus mysteries that should be un-
yelled at the investigation of the
tragedy. If there was enough he
lium, why was it not used? If the
Roma was not suited to helium in
fiation, why was the dirigiblc bought
after the production of helium in
large quantities at a low price was
achieved?
But there are altogether too many
why's" in the history of dirigibles,
and particularly those which the
United States has bought abroad.
Why we should turn 70 Europe for
it's cast off balloons, why we should
not avail ourselves Of the opportu-
nifty Nature mas given us, and only
us, in the way of non-infiam-
mable gas; why we should send our
men in time of peace on an errand
more risky than war-these are the
why's" that must be answered
But the largest why" Of al is,
Why the dirigible? Why nurse the
slob of the sky when the athlete of
the air is ready for practical use and
capable Of further development? Why
play with the big gasbag, prey OF
winds and weather, when the swift
strong, resistless airplane is ours for
service?

whipped of justice than that an inno-
cent man should reach prison.
There is only one answer to the
problem, and that is better juries. Let
the courts arrange the system so that
business men called as talesmen need
not sit in court day after day, idly
waiting to be called. Let the citizens
themselves consider more seriously
their duty to society and go more
willingly to the ordeal of jury SER
vice. Let the Legislature wipe out
the exemptions that are unnecessary.
Then we shall have more intelligence

Anti-Bonus Voters by Millions.

If there were 100000 ex-army
men coveting in their own selfish in
terest a five billion dollar bonus dis
tribution-and it would be a slander
upon hundreds of thousands of them
to say that all the ex-army men were
demanding the bonus-there are in
the United States more than 11,000,-
600 savings banks depositors whose
interests would suffer from a bonus
in any form.
The six billion and a half of dol
lars to the credit of these savings
banks depositors are largely invested
in Liberty bonds. If there were
bonus bond issue it would knock mar
ket value out of these Liberty bonds
which are so considerable a part of
the assets of the savings banks. II
there were special bonus taxes they
would fall upon these 100000 saw
ings bank depositors as upon others
and eat deeper holes in their small
incomes from their savings.
The savings banks depositors OF
the country are up in arms against
the bonus grab, because, as the SdU-
in9S Bank Journal says, to under
take the payment of such sum as
the bonus would call for without
the money in sight, and except by a
further mortgage upon the economic
liberty of the American people, would
be both foolish and disastrous"
And if there were 100000 ex-sol-
diers coveting the bonus to their
own selfish interest, as there are not,
there are in the United States more
than 100000 farmers whose in
terests would be sacrificed by the bo-
nus grab Whether the bonus were
paid out of a bonus bond issue or
paid out of special bonus taxes the
farmers of the country would have to
foot part of the bill.
But already the American farmer
is bending if not breaking under his
load of. direct taxes or of materials
and supplies he must buy at exces-
sive costs because of the war infla-
ton in them. The agricultural jour-
nails are relating in every issue typ
ical instances of farmers who are
abandoning their land because they
cannot get enough out of what they
produce to provide the necessaries
they must have from outside the
farm.
Already there are organized move
ments among the farmers to refuse to
pay the taxes that are now imposed
upon them. An example is a resolu-
tion signed among many other West
ern farmers by j. II. SMITH, State
director of the Washington-Idaho
Wheat Growers Association, declar-
ing against the payment of taxes un-
der the present desperate agricul-
tural conditions. To the warning
that il they do not pay their taxes
they may lose their land and their
property their answer, as stated by
one is, 1--WE have counted the cost
and are prepared to go all the way"
If there are any citizens anywhere
more representative of the general
public than the 100000 farmers of
the country and the 100000 saw
ings banks depositors Of the country
THE New YORK HERALD cannot imag-
inc who they are or where they are
to be found. Politicians on the hunt
for votes to be bought with a bonus
payment to soldiers will do well to
count the reckoning at the ballot
box with these 100000 farmers and
100000 savings bank~depositors
who will camp on the trail Of the
bonus Congressman, no matter what
part of the country he calls back
home"
