BROWN COUNTY

COFT haze hangs cver the rugged and picturesque
hills OF Brown County The spring pilgrimage
to one Of the most beautiful spots in the Middle
West has begun. In week or two, thousands will
be thronging to Brown County State Park to see
the blossoming Of the dogwood and redbud.
Always, from the art standpoint the greatest
emphasis has been placed on the autumn beauty of
Brown County
1t seems to us that this Hoosier hill country never
Is more inviting, more splashed with vivid color,
than in the spring
In winter it has simple, rural fascination that
most Of the summer visitors never see The transit
ton of the seasons that may be today accentu
ates the appeal of the steep hills the winding roads,
the wooded valleys and foliage.
Adoph Robert Shulz, one of the earliest artists
of the Brown County group, describes the lure of
the region for artists as
1.-THE Hoosier hills the Hoosier people, the
Hooser spirit the beautiful opalescent atmosphere
where the artists live their normal lives and
pursue their life work. each in his own individual
way"
T~HEY live among the people of the soil. The
- rugged folk of the Hoosier hills are their friends
and neighbors.
Probably because they close to the soil them
selves the artists of the Brown County colony have
their fame spread year after year. Artists who
have lived and painted there have added i'm
measurably to the Indiana art tradition.
Many built their homes in and around Nashville.
They speak fondly of Bill and Mandy Pttman and
the hospitality of the cheerful hotel they operated
in the early days. The place convenient and
1t drew the painters there rather than to other iso
lated parts of the vast hill region The same hospi-
tally marks Brown County today; the SIM
pcity of the people, the same feeling that here is
the spirit of Indiana and of America.
TIME trek of visitors has steadily increased. In
L. terest in the art colony has grown. The result
is permanent exhibition of painting, sponsored by
the Brown County Art Galleries Association and
open to the public
Eventually this should mean permanent colec-
ton of some of the best Hooser art-a tribute to
the Brown County colony and its creation of some
thing significant in American art
1t is spring today in Brown County. Thousands
will go there the next few weeks because it is near
Indianapolis and accessible.
But the natural beauty of Brown County Is the
beauty of the whole great hill country of southern
Indiana There are redbud and dogwood timber
and shrubhery, in all that vast area. Indiana has
only begun to develop this great playground.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A T the invitation of friend who works there
I visited our state capitol not long ago. My
friend is woman of 49, unmarried and with a
father and mother to support. Like good many
others nowadays she lives in constant dread of
losing her job. and knowing the instability of po-
litical favors no one will argue that such fear is
unjustifed.
But after closer view of what she does I feel
less fearful for her. She has important point in
her favor She is a hard worker
About her office niche seethe crowds of men and
women who are concerned only with political pres
tige. The dawdling, the incompetence the down
right ignorance of many who draw pay from the
state is dreadful thing to see. 1t is enough to
make any honest taxpayer writhe. For he plows
his way through throngs that clutter up Offices and
corridors, some hangers-on and others who render
a minimum of service for maximum of pay.
Yet, even in state capitols there are the few who
really work. If we could not count on them to
possess such knowledge as is necessary to hold
departments together the whole structure of state
craft would fall to pieces with each outgoing admin
istration. The peoples business would be in even
worse than it now is.
1t is this handful of workers who often stick
through many gubernatorial regimes. Even dem
agogues and clever politicians realize the need for
a certain amount of efficiency SO that the danger
ously loose construction of houses of state will
stand. large proportion of these hard workers. 7
find, are women. They have particular political
ambitions, they want only to make honest living.
Obscure amid the blatant crowds they often go
unheard and unnotced, while our attention is held
by the raucous voices and empty gestures of the
politicians. But let never forget that these
humble workers are the only true servants of the
people They deserve more Of our gratitude than
they get

LOYALTY

IL neutral in moment" He loyal COM
pletely.
Of1cially. Col Howe was President Roosevelt's
No secretary Actually he was one of his most
devoted personal friends and wisest counselors
newspaper correspondent in Albany back in 1910,
Howe met and became attached to the young as
semblyman. He liked young MIR. Roosevelts views
and with an almost uncanny prescience, decided
he was man of destiny. Through the years Howe
never ceased to believe in his friend. And until
illness took him away, he stayed at his friends slde
Together they were in Washington during the
war. Together, they went through the disastrous
1920 campaign And during the dark days OF his
friends illness Howe sat at the bedside day and
night, helping, encouraging willing the sick man
to win back his health. In the 1882 campaign Howe
was one of the master strategists. When Roosevelt
took office, he occupied little room in the White
House as sort of political mentor an "alter ego"
to the President.
Ten years older than the President, Col. Howe
seemed in many ways 10 years wiser in the arts OF
politics At least in the last year. while this secre-
tary-friend- adviser lay sick in bed, it has seemed
that the Presidents political has been lower
than through the years when Louis Howe was at
his elbow. Howe was born in Indianapolis.
Certainly the President had need of some OF the
fine Howe strategy through those months when
Messrs Ickes and Hopkins gave public exhibition
of the Administrators inner dlscord and again in
the Gen. Hagood affair. Incidentally, the last IL
months, while Col Howe angushed abed and was
not available for constant counsel, have seen the
orgination of one obviously political tax bill revo-
lutonizing the corporate tax structure and another
almost as obviously political proposing to reform
reform which hasn't yet been given chance to
work One can only speculate. of course, but it
might have been otherwise had the subtle COL
Howe been at his post.

unselfish and wise. He may never have who
