Two Great American Painters.

George Inness, jr., Is dead at the
age of seventy-two. His father, George
Inness, died thirty.two years ago.
Thus passes a name famous in Amer
lean art. Two brushes that produced
great works are now finally stilled.
The second George Inness had no son
to carry on his art, as he had carried
on that Of his father.
Rarely, If ever, has son followed
SO faithfully and so successfully In his
fathers line of art as did the son of
George Inness. The world has never
before witnessed such a long span of
art production in a single name. For
seyenty-five years these two were at
work with paint and canvas, produc.
ing landscapes of rare merit. Today
the works of the elder Inness are
priceless, and those of the son are
highly appraised. They will probably
in their turn become treasured for
their exceptional merit as have his
fathers.
To some who hold with the modern
list conception Of art the products of
the Inness brushes are out Of mode,
old.fashioned. But. happily, these are
a minority. They may scott. but they
do not persuade. They are them
selves representative Of . passing

of eccentriclty and defiance of estab.

style Of painting. but 1t will not be-

principle.
In all the range Of art development
since man first began to depict scenes
with pigments for his own pleasure
or for the recording of history. there
have been movements" expressive of
individual peculiarities. The history
of art Is full of secessions from stand
ard. Collections and galleries note
them with examples. but they remain
only as exceptions, as accents Of dis.
sent. so to speak.
The art OF the Inness father and
son Is the art that survives, to which
the attention Of later generations
turns with approval. In carrying on
his fathers work In his fathers spirit
the younger Inness showed fidelity
not only as pupil but as a devotee of
the highest principles of the art.

Two Crime Mysteries,

In Ohio and in New Jersey are now
progressing inquiries into two crimes
of a battling character The Ohio
crime took place only a short time
ago, the killing by gang of the
editor Of local newspaper engaged
in vigorous war against vice and
corruption. The New Jersey crime
took place four years ago, the killing
of popular clergyman and a woman
member of the choir of his church.
terest in the New Jersey crime has
been revived by the arrest of the
widow of the slain man on the
strength of newly discovered evidence.
Little tangible progress is being
made in the solution of the Mellett
murder mystery. Several persons
have been arrested, but after exam
ination have been released. Four are
now held, but without any indication
that they are more likely to be con-
nected with the crime than have the
others who have been investigated. Ex-
traordinary efforts are being made to
discover the instigators and per-
petrators of this crime, with the gov
ernor of the State urging action and
furnishing facilities for investigation.
In New Jersey, likewise, the gov
ernor is acting to effect solution of
the murder mystery. 1t develops that
it was upon his initiative that the
newly discovered evidence was utilized
to cause the arrest of the widow of
the murdered man.
In both of these cases there is no
question whatever that crime has
been committed In Ohio, Mellett,
whose life had been threatened, was
shot down from ambush. In New Jer-
sey the two victims were found dead
with no possibility of suicide. Jeal.
ousy was plainly the motive of the
crime. Did that jealousy inspire the
wife of the dead man or the husband
of the dead woman? The latter proved
an alibi that stood all tests, and
furthermore refused to believe his
wife to be guilty of relations with the
pastor. Upon the woman, then. con.

but to cause a specific accusation and
the arrest of the wife. She is now in

prosecuted to trial it will probably be
one Of the most interesting and sem

country. The social position Of the

celebrated case" 1t would seem now
that a trial is almost certain to be had.

Trade Clearing House.
Washington Called Natural Cen
ter for Such World Agency.

To the Editor of The Star;
In your issue of the 26th instant an
idea was set forth in a New York dis
patch that is worthy of more than
passing attention. 1t was the sugges-
ton of Rodman Wanamaker that a
national reserve bank of commerce
established by the United States as a
clearing house for the worlds bust
ness could do more toward clearing
up the financial chaos in Europe than
the League of Nations.
An idea similar to this has been set
forth at various times in your columns
by the writer. who, although making
no pretense of being a financial au-
thority, has felt that such business
center is a necessity, and that wash
ington is the only logical location for
such a center The great cities. with
their local influences, waves of specu-
lation and selfish interests, are not
fitted to house the clearing house OF
the worlds commerce.
Right here, under the eyes of the
American Government, which is so
deeply concerned in all such an insti-
tuition may imply. is its proper site.
In your issue of March "a, 1907, near
ly 20 years ago. the writer outlined
permanent international exposition for
junction with States buildings, and
used the following words: This
means the commerce of the world
with it's heart beating in the Capital
If the greatest of all nations, and, with
the growth of trade, a strengthening
of the ties of harmony with all men
Again in your issue of January %.
1910. and on many subsequent occa-
sions, the writer set forth in detail
plans for a clearing house, for the
worlds commerce in conjunction with
a permanent international exposition
at Washington.
We cannot, if we would, escape the
international duties imposed upon US
by our supreme wealth and resources,
the results of the World War and the
growing means of communication and
transportation among nations. We
will not seek to control the personal
affairs of any nation, nor submit our
selves to their control, but just SO
sure as we have loaned them money
and given them other help in their
need. we will have to keep it up for
the sake of our own interests as well
as theirs.
There will be no dictation nor med
ding on either side, but we will help
them and ourselves by putting in OPP
Grafton a scientific, effective means of
Accommodation which will do for
all what the telephone switchboard
does for business, or as brain func-
tions in animals. There is well de-
veloped opposition here and elsewhere
to a League of Nations, and the World
Court idea does not have plain sailing,
But the United States of America. as
an elder sister among republics, with
a wealth and generosity that dis
count. and ignore the envy and in
gratitude of other nations, must sup
ply the coming world center at Wash
ington. It will do good to all and
harm none, and operate to prevent in
ternational strife as nothing else
can do. LINDSAY S. PERKINS.

THINK 1T OVER
Automobiles or Children First?
BY William Mather Letois,
President George Washington University

The purchase of an automobile is
matter to which the family gives
serious and intelligent attention. me
merits of the various makes are dis
cussed, agencies are visited, drives
are taken, owners are consulted.
How helpful 1t would be If we gave
similar consideration to the choice
of a college or university for our
children? Usually the son goes where
father went, or where the largest
number of his own friends are going.
Neither of these reasons is ade-
quate. There are approximately 500
colleges and universities of high
standing In the United States, TO
which 100000 young people will go
this Fall. There is the right insti-
tuition for each youth; the institu-
ton where the environment and the
curriculum and the instruction suit his
needs. But it will not be found With
out careful search.
Discuss around the dinner table
some evening the following ques-
tions: Is it wiser to attend college
in the home city, if opportunities
for higher education are provided
there, or in some other locality? II
in another locality. should the East
ern youths go West and the Western
their outlook on life? Is the tenn
permanent and character of the youth
such that he would benefit most in
the atmosphere of a small college or
a large university? Is a CO. educa-
tional or a non coeducational insti-
tuition preferable?
Having settled these and other inn
portant questions, visit some OF the
institutions which in a general way
measure up to your requirements,
meet the officials, inspect the living
accommodations, observe the sur
roundings, gather first-hand informa-
ton as to the type of student which
attends. Find out what interest is
taken in the physical and social and
spiritual life of the undergraduates.
All the above will take time, but 1t
| well may mean the difference be-
tween success and failure for your
child in his educational development,
and in his after life as well. Ger
tainly our children mean more to US
than do our automobiles.

Suggests Market Site.
Southwest Area Held Feasible
for Relocation Project.

To the Editor of The Star:

1926. that a relocation of Center Mar
ket is under consideration, and |
suggest, If / may, a site bounded on
the north by line straight with B
street southwest. on the east by
Third street southwest, on the west by
Seventh street southwest. and on the
south by Virginia avenue.
This section has ample street car
service nearby to all parts of the city,
and, If necessary, tracks could be re-
located to suit new conditions. The
main lines of the railroads are con-
venient and the old James Canal could
be opened up as near to the market
as desired, thus making the location
accessible by both rail and water. The
fact that the railroad tracks are pro.
vided with under passes at all street
crossings in this section should not
be overlooked. Sites for storage
houses and what not could be had
at reasonable prices.

location, everything considered, for a
big united market" in or around
Washington, which could be had for
as little money as the one 1 have
suggested, and. besides, the develop

city improvements, together with the
extension of the Botanic Gardens,

The Farmers Best Bet.

Claude r. Porter, Democratic nom
inee for the Senate in Iowa, in a key.
note speech at the State Democratic
convention, has attacked the Repub.
lican protective tariff and urged the
farmers to turn their backs on the
G. o. P.
Many Of the farmers of Iowa, not
all by any means, are today dis.
gruntled because the Republican ad
ministration in Washington and the
Republican-controlled Congress failed
to support or to enact the kind of
farm-relfef legislation they wanted
the McNary-Haugen bill. Many of
them are sore enough to forget party
allegiance when the time comes to
go to the polls, provided they have an.
other party to which to turn which
offers them what they desire But do
the Democrats make such an offer?
They do not. 1t is well understood
that with sufficient Democratic sup.
port the McNary. Haugen bill would
have passed the Senate. The Demo.
Gratis also were responsible for the
failure of the administration farm
relief bill, the Fess bill They have no
constructive record to offer the farm
ers of the West. The only tangible
thing the Democrats offer is to tear
down the Republican protective tariff,
in he Iaaf xu,hn he iii &c
enough the prices which the farmer
pays for some of the things he has to
buy will be lower.
The American farmer is no fool,
even though he has been the butt of
many joke in the comic papers. The
domestic market for his crops is of far
greater importance to him than a for.
eign market in which at best he may
hope to sell only very small per-
centage of his entire output. The
domestic market depends upon the
ability of the consumers to buy, and
their ability to buy depends upon the
condition of industry and business. A
lowering of the protective tariff is not
likely to stimulate American industry
American manufacture. A lowering of
the prices for manufactured articles is
not calculated to increase wages, but
to reduce them. Then what becomes
of the domestic market?
Mr.. Porter is an amiable and pol.
tshed gentleman. But he and other
Democratic leaders who are seeking
to win the Western farmer away from
his allegiance to the Republican party
must find better argument. These
gentlemen forget that the Iowa farmer
and his brothers in Kansas and Illinois
and elsewhere are asking for system
to bolster up agriculture, much as the
protective tariff has bolstered up
American manufacturing industries.
While the Democratic party continues
to hold its opposition to such systems,
how can the farmer expect to get
from the Democrats what he seeks?

The motoring class, however. will

outcome of all of this work, which is
now well on it's way to completion.
Motorists should adjust themselves to
the temporary disadvantages of closed
streets with the thought that they
will soon be able to enjoy broad high

WORLD TRADE
RECEIVERS
BY julius Klein
Director, Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.

The most important cause of the
recovery in total world trade is the
marked improvement in economic
conditions in Europe. This is far from
meaning that the great bulk of the
total addition to world trade has been
in the trade of Europe itself. In
creased trade of Europe has meant,
of course, more trade for other con-
tinents with Europe. There has also
been a marked advance in the trade
of the other continents with one an
other-for example, in our own trade
with all parts of the world. But I'M
less the rest of the world were selling
more to Europe and buying more
from her its aggregate trade could
not have gained nearly so much. AS
a matter of fact, no very great differ
ence appears among the several con-
tinents in the rate of growth of trade
in recent years.
Europe's total foreign trade-eX-
ports plus imports--in 1926 was about
half again as big as in 1921. Between
1929, when our exports struck bot
tom, and 1925 there was a gain of 2S
per cent in the sales of the United
States to the outside world. AS COM
pared with 1921, the low point in our
imports. the increase in our purchases
from other countries was 68 per cent.
1t is by no means matter of regret
that Europe's exports during this pc
riod increased faster than our own.
If they had not done so, our exports
would have grown more slowly. Eu-
ropes trade had been tremendously
cut down by the war. Ours suffered
far less Recovery in Europe was es-
sential to the greatest progress of all
other countries in trade. AS 1t is, our
own exports in 1925, allowing for price
changes, were about 81 per cent great
err than in 1918, while Europe's ex-
ports still are considerably below pre-
war figures.
\ n \ X
Gradual recovery in Europe's trade
was, of course, to be expected. 1t
would have been an unthinkable dis
aster to Europe and TO the entire
world if the blow struck by the war
