assault on bucketeers.
With f. NJ. Fuller and Edward F.
MCGEE, accused of bucketing in Jail

all our inoralists who find fault
with our present amusements /!
What are they doing to elevate
the public taste for a better lit
erature, a better drama, better
music and better pictures? They
would rather destroy the little
we now possess than encourage
a higher and broader develop
ment. -..
The human race has passed
the animal stage where food and
shelter were all important. We
are reaching out and up toward
a higher life, for more enjoy
ment of mental, rather than
physical, character. The mental
requirements of the common
people-the masses-are grow
ing at an alarming rate and they
must be fed with sound artistic
edifcation. The time is here
when every place of amusement,
every theater, must become a
temple of beatitude that must
go hand in hand with artistic
accomplishment.
What must be our local atti-
tude toward all this? We must
encourage every art endeavor, no
matter how insignificant and
small it may seem. Under pres
ent conditions, it is almost heart
breaking to see our apathy. We
disregard or discourage our boys
and girls in whom has been
kindled the spark of godliness
that reaches out toward art, and
instead of using encouragement
to fan this tiny flame into a blaze
we smother it with a cold blanket
of Indifference.
We must have faith in them
and in their talent because they
are so near to us. We must give.
them their chance, not alone for
their sake but for our own up
lift.
We must do what we can to
eradicate envy. 1t is discourage
ing but true that much envy ex-
lists, even among the few artists
we have. There is no more ex-
cuse for envy in art than in re-
ligion. You do not envy your
neighbor just because he is more
religious than you? Then why
envy the superior talents of an
other?
Artists do not work for money.
When they do they are not true
artists, They struggle for an
ideal, a principle. They are en-
dowed with a god-given gift. 1t
belongs not alone to them but
to the world. They are false to
their creator and false to them
selves when they withhold their
talents from the enjoyment of
their fellows.
The true artist is one who will
struggle on in spite of obstacles
and opposition. He does not live
nor thrive upon the acclaim of
the people. He has a world
within him that is infinitely rich
er and greater than all that sur
rounds him.
Let us all first learn to ap-
preciate and respect all artistic
beginnings. And we will soon
become a greater and better ma
tion without petty prejudices and
small town jealousies. The
American people are destined to
save modern civilization and to
carry on to the highest develop
ment the artistic heritage of the
past.

m HE lives of the vestal vir-
gins were consecrated to
u the preservation OF the
holy fires of ancient Rome. In
to their keeping was given ma
tional ideal and a great people
had to perish when they lost
faith in the religious institutions
they them selves had created.
Without a national ideal no
people can long endure or be-
come great! No matter wheth-
er these ideals are based upon
a false or a true principle, a
united people must have some
thing to look up to. And it is
even better to worship false
god. than none at all.
; I Czardom was the ideal that
kept Russia intact. We know it
was based upon a wrong prin-
ciple but at least it kept a peo-
Pile together. Militarism was the
fetish to which majority of the
German people bowed in wor-
ship. We abhor it but it served
a purpose.
Both Russia and Germany
have been forced to discard their
old ideals and they have fallen
into a state of chaos from which
they can only rise thru the
creation of a new national ideal.
There was time when the ma
tional ideals of Germany were
concentrated upon its masters of
letters, it's masters of art, its
masters of science. This laid the
foundation for future greatness
and Germany must return to this
foundation again if she is to take
her place again in the world sun.
France, also always militaris-
tic, was the first nation to set up
a national ideal in the protection
and encouragement of her arts
without which she would have
fallen long ago. 1t was classical
Greece, one of the smallest ma
tions of ancient times, that per-
ished only with the decline of
her arts. This all tends to prove
that the mental strength of a
nation has always been of far
greater Importance than mere
physical force.
If physical strength were all
important, the Patagonians and
South African Negroes would
rule the entire world.
The nation that will set up the
arts as it's national ideal will live
and prosper. 1t will be safe from,
the aggression of other people
who will flock to worship at its
shrine. 1t is the artistic and the
thics which have made religion
strong and dominant in every
cline.
All the religious denomin-
ations of our country should
unite to foster and perpetuate
the arts as the national Ameri-
can ideal. All religious beliefs
are based upon the Immortality
of the soul. Theologians have al
ways sponsored artistic ideals
altho only a few are able to give
a satisfactory definition of what
art really is.
Ask the artist, and he will tell
you:
"Art is the expression of SOUL"
If this is true and if each
mans art is the expression of
his soul, what are our saviours
doing to develop a healthy and
and useful art, thus stimulating
the growth of soul? What about
