Artists Return to CIassicism at Annual
Paris Salon, With Marked improvement

! the atmosphere as strongly as 1t Is felt
before the picture of WhistlerS mother
Guerin's portrait is perhaps the best
and the most powerful in the salon.
Some critics have compared 1t with the
best works of Dutch masters. But with
the realism of the Dutch it also has
that touch of refinement characteristic
of the French school.
Internal Light Employed.
Life is apparent also in two small
landscapes exhibited by Laprade. They
are Illuminated by some mysterious IN
ternal light which makes them shine
| the subjects are simple. There Is the
sea, a boat, branches Of tree, but
through them breathes the harmony
of the universe.
Bonnard and Dufrenoy have bril-
| liantly proved that the art OF nature
morte painting did not die with Cezanne
and Van Gogh. The former has made
| a lovely composition of a coffee mill.
, coffee pot and jar, colored in scale
of tinges going from yellow to brown.
The latter has thrown dead bird on
a sheet Of newspaper and has played
like q master with black, white ana
gray.
It is strange to note that portrait
painting Is almost non-existant at the
Autumn Salon. Except for wonan's
portrait by Van Dongen-typical, as
usual, of this painters tendency toward
| facile modernism-and a few minor
things, portraiture has been entirely
monopolized by sculptors. Every room
of the salon contains several heads Of
women and men that doubtless are por-
traits. Many among them are good,
human and simple and characteristic
Of the models.
Handicap in Decorative Trend.
It would be difficult to say why people
seem to prefer nowadays to have theif
faces represented in marble, plaster or
wood and In three dimensions rather
than on fiat canvas. Perhaps 1t Is
because sculpture is an art which f1ts In
better with present tendencies in in
terror decoration.
It Is striking to see at the salon,
where all branches of art are repre-
sented, what a serious blow modernistic
architecture and interior decoration
have dealt to painting. Not much place
has been left in the quiet, straight-lined,
sober monotony of modernistic apart
mentS for colorful landscapes or pic
lures of human faces. Panels especially
made for the setting of the rooms are
perhaps the only works that could be
placed on the walls. Carved heads and
figures of animals seem quite In place
In new drawing rooms.
Sixty American artists. men and
women, have contributed to the Autumn
Salon. Among them are painters, sculp.
tors. engravers and book illustrators.
Some of their work is excellent,
especially In sculpture. Much attention
has been drawn to a bust of Clemenceau
by Barbara Herbert, to two birds by
Malcolm Arbuthnot and to o torso by
Ralph Jester. n.

would be the Republican hope If the
situation were reversed.
Let the reader ask himself this cues
ton: Suppose the new Congress is
forced by public opinion to do some
thing about prohibition-in that case,
would the Democrats prefer to have the
responsibility?
In short, the Democrats and the In
surgent Republicans have q common
interest (stronger with the latter in
having Congress organized not by the
Democrats but by the Republicans.
Out OF this situation will follow, in.
creasingly, curious political moves and
gestures, moves that will have what Is
called In billiards, reverse English"

legislation as in passing that which is
wise and essential.
Unless there is a marked change in
conditions this Winter and throughout
1881. Washington will be focal point
for all manner of plans and propositions
whereby the Government can be
brought to wave the wand of prosperity
If it could discharge its duties in an
atmosphere not impregnated with poll
tics. that would tend much to simplify
matters. But the Capital of the United
States is naturally the habitat of poll
tics. Especially Is this so in the months
preceding a presidential election, and
by the time the new Congress gets down
to business the next presidential cam
paign will be only Q short distance
ahead

PARIS.-Although the Paris public is
used to considering the Autumn salon
as the chief artistic event Of the year,
seldom has this exhibition attracted as
much interest and comment as this
Fall. To art critics and connoiSSeurs
who, as rule, visit the salon merely
to fulfill tireSome duty-for 1t Is a
tedious task to inspect some 1000 pic
lures hooked to the walls of the Grand
Palais-the present exhibition has
marked q new era in the history Of
Partisan art.
It is too early to speak of a renais-
sance in painting and make optimistic
conclusions But this first show of the
year has given hopeful indications Of
the fact that the letter-too much
knowledge and skill-has not yet quite
killed the spirit in art. There are at
the Autumn salon some works which
could be considered as real master
pieces and, in general, the level Of
painting Is much higher than for many
years.
Recent Work More Serious.
Many believe that the economic crisis
which has depressed the art market
has acted like q whip for some artists.
Unable to find purchasers for their
paintings as easily as before, they seem
to have gone to work more seriously.
They have made this year a visible eff
fort to improve their productions and
many of them have brought real works
of art to Paris.
OF course, not all the pictures ex-
hibited are of the highest quality
Masterpieces could easily be swamped
under the mass of dull, if well painted,
works If the names Of many producing
the superior paintings were not already
wal hVAAT 10 &E1A -
lis. Bonnard, La2rade, Charles Guerin,
Duffrency, Chariot, Flandrtn and Kiss
ling have sent to this years salon per-
haps the best works of their lives.
The exhibition gives evidence Of
distinct return to classicism - but
clasSicism taken in the widest sense of
the word. The vogue for freaks seems
to be over and there is a desire on
the part of the artists to penetrate
deeper into their subjects and into
their own internal world. They have
they have studied more deeply the
things before their eyes, and at least
for the real artists, this new tendency
has resulted in great progress.
ImpressiOnist Influence Felt.
The influence of the great impress
Sionist movement Is still strong on
many exhibitors. It Is perhaps even
stronger this year than for long time
before. The feeling of atmosphere and
sunlight which Monet and Manet re-
vealed so years ago throws life into
many of the landscapes. Pictures of
bowers, brightly and skillfully colored,
are abundant. But there ID also APP
parent a deeper insight which could
be called superrealism had not this
word been so clumsily misused.
Thus Charles Guerin has succeeded,

4 \ will be formally inaugurated
early in the new year as the
president Of the University of Mis-
souri,, almost the first seat of learning
set up beyond the Mississippi.
Thus Walter Williams, who ended his
formal education half a century ago In
the eighth grade of a tiny Missouri
country school, has broken another
tradition.
Twenty-Five years ago he founded and
became dean of the now well known
School of Journalism Of the Univer-
sity of Missouri. That was the first
college tradition he shattered. For
a man without a degree to be named
dean of a school of an important
university was an unheard of thing.
Now, in his election to the presidency,
he has broken two other traditions. He
is still without a diploma-that's one
and, so far as available records have
disclosed. he is the first newspaper man
ever to be elected president of a great
er American university. And Walter
Williams has been a newspaper man
since the day he left the crossroads
school and got job as printers devil.
Tradition Is Ignored.
The nine curators of the university,
in announcing the election of Dean
Williams, sensed this trait of his for
disregarding tradition. They had met
at noon one day in the university at
Columbia and had sat, closeted, until
the sun died over the prairie. Then an
elderly man, opening a paneled door,
gave newspaper men waiting in the
corridor the news of the decision.
I'VE have chosen Walter Williams"
he told them. And, after a moment
pause with which to emphasize his
words, he added: He never went to
college in his life"
In other aspects, though, the career
OF Dean Williams had shown the tide
marks Of merit. He had been president
Of the Missouri Press Association at the
age OF %. Before he was so he had
presided over the Press Congress Of the
World. He was the first editor ever
to conceive and carry into practice
the American notion that journalism
could and should be made a formal
part OF a college curriculum. He was
the founder. therefore, and had been
dean for 20 years of the School of
Journalism Of the University of Mis-
souri,. He was a power in this field
OF American education. He was an
influence on the national press. And,
more than all that, he was one Of the
Nations greatest college
graduate or not he was one Of those
few persons able to convince the
younger generation as well as give it
advice.

Much is being said about the fact
that some Democratic leaders shrink

Is dismissed as political hokum In some

morning after Sitting her throat,

Smiths prints resemble closely

murderer.
However, when enlarged, the
photographs blurred so badly their
lines scarcely could be distinguished
and the Chicago investigators asked
for the sill on which the original
marks have been preserved.
Smith lives in the neighborhood
of the Woltman home, and told
police he knew both the slain girl
and her elder sister, Henrietta, 20,
whom police believe was the asail-

He said he had called at the Volt

denied any connection with the
murder, and refused to explain why
he visited the Woltman home.

The girl was murdered in her

After almost hacking the girls

escaped from the house in the same
manner in which he entered, leav-
ing his bloody prints on the sill.
