did a great deal OF his most i'm
portant work, and where he died. He
has been greatly honored by the
people of England, as well as in
America and France. In the great
National Gallery in London. a spe-
cial room was set aside for an ex-
hibition of his portraits of Vert
heimer family. This was a de-
parture from the rule of the Ma
tional Gallery. which. prior to the
hanging of the Sargent portraits, had
never admitted the work Of living
artists.
Art and its value to humanity are
becoming more highly regarded in
America, where the energy of the
people at first was devoted to win
ming a nation from the wilderness
and then to the upbuilding of a ma
terial prosperity that has been q
wonder of the world. Sargent has
played his part, and very great
one, in this advance by the American
people toward an appreciation of art.

Safety at the Pole.

Capt. Amundsen is quoted in a dis
patch from Norway as saying that he
would feel safer in an airplane over
the North Pole than in an automobile
in crowded Oslo street There is
surely no traffic congestion in the
sky over the North Pole. No infor.
nation is at hand as to traffic con-
ditions in Oslo, but automobile nature
is, perhaps, much the same the world
over, and riding in an automobile in
Oslo may be as dangerous as nearer
home. If the streets of Oslo are
perilous for automobilists. how must
it be for those poor wretches called
pedestrians? In a fair city MANY
degrees south Of Oslo's latitude and
Is degrees west Of Greenwich there
are many persons who will not dis
pute Capt. Amundsen's statement.
And II 1t is safer to be in an airsbip
over the North Pole than in an auto
in a city street, how very much safer
a pole aviator must be than a pede,
trian on the sidewalk or a crossing,
Although Amundsen Is right, and an
airplane over the North Pole is safer
than a car in the city, the thought
comes that flying above the North
Pole may not be altogether a safe Job.

John Singer Sargent.

John Singer Sargent, a great Amer
lean, n great artist, has passed on.
His works, however, live after him
and will continue to live, at once a
delight to the eyes of millions who
will see them and an inspiration to
those who possess, too, the spark of
genius.
The beginning and the end of his
life were in Europe; indeed, the
greater part of his life was spent
away from the United States. But
always Mr.. Sargent regarded him
Belf as an American, and it is as an
american that he stands in the very
Forefront of the array of great paint
ers the world has produced. He was
born in Florence. that center of art
for centuries, and it was there he
hrst handled a brush, though it was
10 Paris he went eventually to study
and work and to come into prorni-
hence while still a very young man.
MIR. Sargent's parents were both
Americans, his father, DIR. F'itzwilliam
and author. 1t was Boston that Mr.
Sargent frequently visited during his
trips to this country, and some Of
his most famous mural decorations
are to be found in the Public Library
and the Art Museum of that citv.
His claim to pre- eminence, how
ever. lies not in his mural decora
lions, but his portraits. AS a paint
er OF portraits he made for himself in
the course of his long and busy life
place in the world or art that is
unique. His portraits are treasured
today in many countries, and picture
men and women of many nationau-
ties. Among the famous Americans
whom he painted were President
Theodore Roosevelt and John Hay.
Although Mr.. Sargent lived in many
lands, It was In London where he

Brothers of the Angle" "

Fishermen here and everywhere
will rejoice to learn that Presi-
dent Coolidge was misquoted as to a
conviction that fishing Is a pastime
appropriate only to childhood and as
to a lack of comprehension as to
why grown men spend their vaca-
tions on fishing expeditions. 1t seems
that what Mr.. Coolidge really meant
to convey was that he himself, with
his own youthful ana aduir prefer
ences in mind. had always thought
of fishing as sport connected with
childhood. which is quite a different
matter. There are thousands of peo-
pie WHO will understand and sym
pathize with the Presidents clarified
and corrected comments. On the
other hand, there are many thous-
ands who are totally unable to appre-
ciate the fact that 'once a fisher
man does not mean always a fish
erman."
Fishermen are born, not made, and
if one is so born, fisherman he
remains TO the end. Nearly every
one has f1shed at some time or other;
that does not mean the person is q

self dropped his carefully spat-upon

Some men who never landed a fish
until they had reached middle-age
have discovered, none the less, that
they were born fishermen.
A true anglers love of his art-for
art it is-cannot be explained to a
non-angler; one can never get the
viewpoint of the other. Fishing is
a sport of childhood, but not of
childhood only. A boy can do it, but
a man can do 1t better. That there
is in essence nothing childish about
it-that it is a real mans game-is
evidenced by it's pursuit at the hands
of such men as Grover Cleveland,
Zane Grey, Christopher North, Emer-
son Hough, Henry Van Dyke. Joseph

Earl Grey Of Fallodon and dozens
of others who will come readily to
mind. Some Of these men caught

Some one once said that the thrill
Of hooking and playing a game fish
persists with mankind longer and in
the face of more physical disa bilities
than any other pleasure. Diminution
of a mans strength, eyesight or
hearing may bring him to the point
at which no field sport except fishing
is possible. But as long as he is able

Proposed French Capital

The Buffalo News asserts that II is
"a question of submitting to taxation

the budget or of going into bank

Political jugglery is seen by the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. which re-
marks that Herriot was "risking his
political life as if upon the flip of a
coin" The Ledger continues: 1.-The
only real solution lies in drastic taxa
ton, which no government in France
will dare impose. Poincare presented
a financial program and fell. Now
Herriot's turn has come. Such is the
custom in French politics, and it is
not likely to be abandoned in our
day. But each recurring crisis brings
its struggle between political giants =
such as they are-and the prosaic
shadows over which they contend are
forgotten"

A plan for more drastic taxation

be the logical remedy for conditions
