Cowboy to Cabinet

From the great west, comes Jardine
Born in Idaho As years ago, he spent
the first sixteen years of his life on
his fathers ranch He punched" cat
tie, broke broncos, at % cents each
and attended district school in the
winter At IL he felt the call to be
out and doing, so he left the home
ranch and went to Big Hole Mont,
where he got job on cattle ranch
performing the usual tasks of a
ranch hand.
He then became interested in dairy
ing Realizing the need of education
he entered Utah Agricultural College
graduating in 1904. Those years al
school were active for young Jardine
He was up and doing and active in
sports. He played four years on the
varsity football team, captaining il
the last year. During the summer he
pitched hay and worked on dairy
farms. One summer he was out with
surveying gang.
Farm to Washington
After graduation he taught for a
year, then sought and obtained the
job as manager of a farming company
which was tilling acres on the whole
sale plan in Utah Then came his
first contact with government work.
He sought and secured job as an
assistant in the cereal branch of the
Department of Agriculture. He work
ed there three years, from 1907 to
1910 Then he returned to the rugged
west he knew so well, little realiz-
ing or with little ground for hope
that fifteen years later he would re-
turn to Washington to head the Do
partment of Agriculture and sit as
cabinet member.
When he returned to the west in
1910 he was offered a professorship
ait Kansas Agricultural College. At
ter three years as professor of Agron
onmy he was made Dean of re Div
ision of Agriculture and Director of
the Experiment Department In
he succeeded DR.. H. ). Waters as
president of the Kansas College. That
is the post he now leaves to become
Secretary of Agriculture.
DR.. Jardine is rugged westerner
who will bring to Washington first
hand knowledge of agriculture. He
has always been an outspoken advo-
cate of the farmers interests. He is
openly opposed and a foe to govern
ment price-fixing on farm commodi
ties. He runs counter to the views of
many men prominent in the AgricuE
ture Department and the influences
of the farm bloc in congress.

In the room downstairs there Is a
group of paintings in oil by Gladys
Brannigan, formerly of this oity and
now of New York. These are un-
commonly forceful and successful
works. done with distinct virility and
evident appreciation of artistic ef-
fect-works which ask no concession
on the ground of femfninity. Mrs.,
Brannigan has profited by the mod
ern movement, but she has fortu-
nately not accepted it's extravagances.
Perhaps the most noteworthy Of her
exhibits is the large painting en-
titled, Ready for Blue Water" a
picture of ships on the ways painted
at Gloucester last Summer. Much.

praise for her Blossoms and Fra

esting both because of the personal
touch and because of the description
OF the great events in which the Mas
sachusetts Senator was involved.
To those who have yisualized Sena
tor Lodge as cold and rather ruthless
inspired by political motives rather
than patriotic, Mr.. Groves book will
come as a surprise. To those who
may have grown to consider Senator
Lodge as the arch conservative, il
will be interesting to know that he
entered Congress some 81 years ago
with very definite and progressive
views" To those who have heard
only OF the successes attained by Sen
ator Lodge, the discussion of his early
defeats-defeats that would have
driven less courageous and persist
ent man out Of politics-should
prove interesting.
Senator Lodges relations with two
great Americans of sthe last quarter
century - Theodore Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wflson-are handled with
no little understanding by the author,
an understanding arrived at through
long conversations with Senator
Lodge. OF the former. Senator Lodge
was the great friend and admIrer-
a friendship and an admiration that
were mutual or the latter, Senator
Lodge became, largely through force
OF circumstances, an enemy. In his
attitude on the League OF Nations
which brought Senator. Lodge into
deadly conflict with President Wilson,
the impelling motive.', says Mr..
Groves, was love Of country He
was arrayed against an abstract sen
timent, an appealing idealism, to
which a not inconsderable element
in America responded with enthusi
asm. He sought only to save his
country from International commit
ments which he believed dangerous
and to preserve the constitutional

various phases of the story he seeks

fallen. He has painted a clear. def

"HE Phillips Memorial Gallery
has been feat uring a Series
of special exhibitions this sea
l. son set forth In the Little
Gallery" lately added. The
collection now on View therein is cen
tered about a. number of works by
Arthur B. IAvies, chief among which
is his unique and elusive Tissue Par
nassia1" which was hung once be-
aorc, but which is shown again TO
otter advantage. 1t is painting
done in tempera or gouache on very
fine canvas or linen. 1t Is in The
most delicate shades of gray and t.ln.
suggesting the coloring of 4 loves
wing, and in style and spirit it is a
little reminiscent and suggestive Of
the paintings of the great artists OF
centuries ago in China. 1t represents
n height on which grow trees and
is the scene of joyous festivity in an
idyllic state. The nude figures which
occupy the foreground are beautifully
drawn, and they were introduced, one
feels, not from any human interest,
but rather as rhythmic notes In a
harmonious composition. The whole
Is veiled, as it were, in mist.
There are also shown two early
works in oil by Davies and three new
water colors made on his recent trav.
els in France and Italy. One OF these
was done at Venice and shows what
is probably the Island of Murano in
the distance across gray water. a
number of black gondolas lending
accent in the foreground sketch
done very much in the Whistler spirit
and with similar sensitiveness of feel
ing and perception.
A distinct novelty in this collection
is cool and delicious fantasy in
tempera, by Walter Beck. Life at
the Bottom of the Sea-" Here in the
transparent depths are fish. seaweed
and flowers, while trooping across the
upper portion of the picture are
white-robed personages with bare feet.
AS the artist cuts off his composition

identity of these mysterious personali-
ties will never be known. Each OBJ
server Is free to do his own imagining.
