Nature and Art.

The Western sky this morning, at
about $50 o'clock. was majestic,
burning opal, beautiful beyond the
power of words to tell or of any artist
to paint The sun, slowly rising in
the hidden East, worked a special
magic over the banks of low-lying
mackerel-back clouds, touching them
with fingers Of smoldering fire, picking
them out from an azure background
indirectly frightened by the ascend
ing orb. The resultant beauty was
ephemeral; II endured only few mo-
nents, but 1t was richly memorable
Few, indeed. were they who, beholding
1t, failed to respond to the attraction.
But, even as they watched, the effect
passed.

nomena too delicate, too transitory to

No Time to Deal. +"

The death of Senator Wesley L.
Jones of Washington serves to call at
tention again to the narrow margin
by which the Republicans control the
present Senate. Senator Jones Will
certainly, it is believed, be succeeded
by a Republican, appointed by the Re
publican Governor of Washington,
Hartley, to fill the vacancy. This Re-
-ublican appointee will continue to sit
in the Senate until March 4, the ex-
piration Of the coming short session,
even though a Democratic Governor
will succeed Hartley in January, for the
simple reason that when the Democrat
comes into Office there will be no va
cancy in the Senate to be filled.
Notwithstanding the narrowness oi
the Republican control Of the Senate, il

been but little more fortunate. The
profanity of paint. as a modern artist
critic has called it, forbids success in
the representation of living light. The
earlier men often we're colorists, but
celestial illumination was beyond them.
Not even Michelangelo was master of
landscape. Giorgione, Correggio, Titan
and Raphael tried in vain. Canaletto,
Claude Lorraine, J-B. c. Corot, John
Constable, j. M w. Turner, George In
ness and James A. McN. Whistler wres-
tied with the subject valiantly, but
their victories were not complete. The
Spanish artists, Sorolla and zuloaga,
managed to catch the effect. but the
thing itself was beyond their genius.
Not even the camera craftsmen of the
past two decades have been competent
to serve as adequate historians of the
sun
But is nature superior to art? The
question often IS asked. There can be
no final, decisive answer. The reason
is obvious: Neither nature nor art
is static. both are constantly chang
ing. However. it may be true that the
creative impulse in Man is making
gains. No one can deny that now
and again g. work of art transcends in
its power and beauty the object 1t Is
intended to represent. The Greek
sculptors of antiquity, Phidias, Myron,
Praxiteles, Polyclitus and the rest,
created in marble figures more graceful
and lovely than any human being ever
was. Botticelli painted more beautiful
girls than any he ever saw. leighton
and Alma Tadema imagined fairer
earths than any they ever knew. In
the realm Of music the very greatest
victories have been won. Beethoven
was q truer master of circumstance
than even the mathematics which
creates the Summer thunderstorm. His
materials, his instruments we're but
but behold what he did
with them!
Certainly, the discussion is academic.
Man exists within, not without, the
boundaries of nature. He is part OF
the universe in which the sunrise, art,
music, science and philosophy are but
other fractional integrals. That is his
and the source of his courage.
In that respect, at least, all is well.

The way to enjoy books in the home
is to keep some of them sprinkled
around the house. not all of them
Gagged in cases. as if they were wild
and ready to bite.
The bookcase has its proper uses,
but. like most good things, those uses
may be carried to the imperfect extent
Of repression.
When a reader finds himself merely
harboring book treasures, rather than
reading book friends. it is high time
for him to bring some of them out
on tables. window sills and the like.
There they will have double oppor-
tunity, not only to be read, but, above
all, to bring home again the necessity
for so plain and simple duty.
A book is to be read.
All of the collectors ardor is Sec
ondary to that supreme purpose, in
which writer, publisher and reader col
laborate for the good of all.
X 4 II
It is better to have books every
where, so that one tumbles over them,
than to have them so neatly placed
away behind glass that none dares
touch them.
The value of good care, however,
may be retained. at the same time
books are always readily available by
the common sense expedient Of keep
ing a certain number lying around.
The practical way of handling this
pleasant problem is to place the new
est books in the household on the vari-
GUS surfaces where they are most easily
found.
This is a sensible and at the same
time the most natural method. one
often carried out without thought, but
which may be realized all the better by
giving a few minutes attention to its
necessity.
Living in the modern home is at all
times a struggle between two great fac
tors, the practical and the aesthetic,
Not always do the two harmonic. by
any means. That was the reason why
old-fashioned households had 'parlors." "
where things could be kept straight
ened up" and sitting rooms, where
newspapers, magazines and sewing
could be left Lying around"
That is why the modern living room,
as distinguished from the old sitting
room, is a compromise, where a de-
both neatnsss and easy, comfortable
living.
Even with this ideal we'll kept in
mind, however, the most scrupulouS
persons often find that a modern living
room can become supremely untidy in
appearance, If the necessities of life and
living are permitted to obtrude too
much over the desire for the aesthetic
effect.
Hence the booklover who values the
appearance of things will think twice
before permitting his beloved volumes
to overflow all bounds.
This means that he will not pile
them one on top of another, but will
see to it that there are as few books
lying about as may be consistent with
the eternal desire of the human heart
for neatneSs and order.
Between the extremes of too many
books and too few of them the proper
solution lies in just a few. AS to the
exact number which constitutes lust a
few not many persons would agree.
1t may be said in general, that no
more than two to four volumes should
occupy any table, at any one time, re-
gardlesS of its size.
Two are preferable.

looks as though the G. o. p. would run
the upper House for the remainder Of the
Seventy-second Congress unless the Re-
publican progressives, and possibly some
of the regular" Republicans, should de-
eide to turn the organization over to the,
Democrats. The Democrats will have to
consider whether they would gain by
such tactics. 1t is true they would have
the patronage which goes with the con-
troll of the Senate. But this they will have
in even fuller measure when the newly
elected Congress comes into existence
March 4. So far as legislative matters
are concerned, they could muster no
more votes under the nominal Demo-
cratic control than they can with the
Republicans holding the organization.
The progressive Republicans and the
Democrats in this Congress have had
the real control of legislation. 1t is only
by continuing such an alliance that the
Democrats could hope to function If
they were placed in the position of con-
trolling the Senate committees and or
ganization. II these allies should kick
over the traces, however, the Democrats
would find themselves in a minority
position.
One thing seems now certain. The
Democratic Senate leaders are not in
clined to make any kind of deal with
the Republican progresSives in this mat
ter of Senate organization. They are
not going to bind themselves on any
subject or any offices. Within a short
time they will have an overwhelming
majority Of their own in the Senate.
Furthermore, the Democrats are be-
coming more and more convinced that
if the progressive Republicans, Norris,
La Toilette, johnson and Cutting, had
all kept their mouths shut during the
recent campaign, Roosevelt would have
won to Office by just as impressive figures
as he did after these gentlemen had
campaigned for him. In others words,
the Democrats believe that they do not
owe the progressives thing. Probably
this is not the way the progressives
look at the matter. But 1t is nevertheless
true that Ohio and Illinois and In
diana, Republican States generally, all
cast their votes for Roosevelt, despite
the fact that there was no Republican
progressive leader in any one of them
to lift UP his voice against President
Hoover and for Roosevelt.
The progressive Republicans, holding
the balance of power in the present
Senate, should make the most of their
opportunities for causing trouble during
the next three months. After that they
become minority of minority party.
Vocal, 1t is true, but absolutely inpotent
SO far as voting power is concerned.
This will be new experience for some
Of them, who have been in the Senate
only during the Coolidge and Hoover
administrations, when the progressives
always held balance of power in the
Senate. For the country's sake, 1t is
entirely well that the Democrats will
have complete mastery of the Senate
as we'll as the House in the next Con-
gress, and that the Senate will not
continue to be wagged by the tail of

Japan's Case in Manchuria.

Japan has not waited for this week S
momentous proceedings before the
League Council at Geneva to get her
case in Manchuria before the bar OF
world public opinion. In memorandum
issued In various foreign capitals, in
cluding Washington, by its embassies
and legations, the Toxic government
today takes vigorous and detailed issue
with the Lytton report, which is the
basis of the consideration the League
is about to give to the fourteen month
old Sino-Japanese controversy.
Nippon rejects categorically each one
of the contentious made by the Leagues S
commission of neutral investigators,
among whom was Maj. Gen. Frank R.
Mccoy of the United States Army.
They are accused of bias, misrepre-
sentation and superficiality, and their
findings all along the line are assailed
as building up position which Japan
cannot and will not under any cir
cumstances accept.
Proceeding from the general premise
that the evidence gathered by Lord
Lytton and his confreres "is invariably
against Japan and leads to complete
misconstruction of the motives which
actuated the Japanese armed forces" in
the Mukden outbreak of September 18
1881, and its aftermath, Toxic argues
% that the creation Of Manchukuo
was "a genuine, spontaneous, popular
and natural movement sponsored by
Chinese who had been Systematically
Squeezed defrauded and oppressed by
their rulers: CD that there are many
instances in other continents where in
dependence has been proclaimed by the
presence OF foreign forces, and there
that independence has never been ques-
toned; 90 that, as far as the nine
power treaty is concerned, "f in the
due fulfillment of her lawful rights. a
signatory power finds herself in Chinese
territory, she cannot be responsible fol
the consequences, and If these conse-
quences impair Chinese sovereignty OF
integrity, it is not she who is to blame,
and (4) that, as for the Lytton Com
mission suggestion that the japanese
withdraw from Manchukuo in favor OF
an autonomous government to be Great
ed under the Chinese Marking Ma
tionalists "this would amount in prac-
tice to a disguised international control
and could not be acceptable to Man.
chukuo or Japan"
Finally, Japan's argument before the
League will be that with an efficient
Japanese administration, Manchuria will
set an example for the Chinese, which
will eventually clear the way for settle
ment of the far greater question OF
China herself-as well as the Man
churian difficulties.
The Japanese leave little doubt that
they are in no mood either to accept
the Lytton Commissions verdict, with
its specific denial Of the basic Japanese
claim of self-defensive action in Man
churia, or to withdraw from Manchukuc
if the League of Nations approves the
Lytton report. 1t has been PERSISTENT!
reported that Tokio's rejoinder to sucf
action at Geneva would be Withdrawal
from the League. That would not NEAR
withdrawal from Manchuria, which il
the main point at issue. How that is t.
be brought about constitutes one Of th
gravest problems ever to confront worlt
