MICHIGAN'S GOVERNOR
LAUDED FOR EDICT
By w. K. J

BY w. X. L.
The old question of just how
much the public is entitled to know
about the public's business has at
last caught up with the right an
SWer in Michigan.
The answer came decisively from
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald after the
Michigan State Prison Commission
decided to bar newspaper men from
it's sessions.
Gov. Fitzgerald sat on that plan
with thump. He held that, in
effect, newspaper men are liaison
officers between the public and it's
government and that, therefore,
they must be admitted to all meet
ings of all state commissions.
There is no excuse for conducting
any of the states business in the
dark, Fitzgerald pointed out.
Thus the Michigan Governor
sounded the keynote of good gov
eminent. The salutary effect of
conducting all public business
where it should be conducted, in
public, can not be overestimated.

SAYS TARIFF AGREEMENTS
VIOLATE CONSTITUTION
By Hugh S. Johnson, New York

By Hugh 5. Johnson, New York
When such a reciprocal trade
agreement" as the one with France
becomes effective. the tariff reduc-
tons made in favor of France on
any particular item are instantly
and automatically available to any
other country with which We have
most favored nation treaty"
We trade it out with France and
say, IF you will let more of our as
paragus come to France, we will re-
duce our tariff rates on your lace"
That sounds fair enough. Each
side gives something and each side
takes something. But if we reduce
our tariff on French lace, instantly
Belgium or Italy has a right, under
their unconditional most favored
nation treaties" to the same re-
duced tariff rates on their lace and
they haven't given us anything at

EMPTY HEART
BY VIRGINIA v. KIDWELL

I am the victim of emotions I can
not control.
Against my will they force me on
to hurt myself and YOU
A desperateness deep-seated per-
meates my very soul

marks me all day thru
To all the best within me. Who
cares If there's a best!
Not I, and since you're dead and
gone. who cares about the rest?

nN the News, Rogers was given
- a low partitioned cubicle next
to that of Meredith Nicholson but
he didn't stay long. 1t was too
noisy, he said. He stayed long
enough, however, to meet J. M.
Bowles who ran an art store at the
time and this meeting probably had
as much to do with shaping Bruce
Rogers career as any other one
thing. H'
They first met at the Portfolio
which had rooms in an old remod-
eled church on the northwest
quadrant of the Circle where Henry
Ward Beecher had once preached.
Tom Hibben used to say that Port
folio was "the headquarters for
souls who have either artistic symp-
toms or synpathies."
Bowles lost track of the boy after
that. The fact of the matter was
that Rogers, driven away by the
noise in the News, had gone home
to stay for good. He was back again
in 1893.
When Rogers returned, Bowles
was an art salesman in the II. Lie.
Der Co. During Rogers absence he
had found time to start an art
magazine on the side. Herman
Lieber, a realistic during business
hours, let out yell when he heard
of it but he didn't fire Bowles. He
deemed it the better part of wis
dom to string along with his clerk
and watch the fantastic scheme
from the side lines.
COMEHOW, Bowles had persuad-
~ ed Hollenbeck, the printer, to
back him, and together, with sup
ply of French charcoal paper fur
nished by Herman Lieber, who was
coming around by this time, they
started to put out an illustrated
quarterly called Modern Art.
Modern art back In 1893 meant
Whistler, Monet and Beardsley, who
were as extreme then as Picasso,
Klee and Roualt are now. And hu-
man nature being what it is, it
ought to give you some idea of
what Bowles was up against.
Rogers was probably in Lafayette
when the first number was issued
in January, 1893. At any rate, there
were no contributions by him in that
number. After that, beginning with
the title page of the second issue,
Modern Art was full Of Bruce
Rogers.

This is the story Of Modern Art.

THIS IS the story of Modern Art,
- a quarterly published in In
dianapohs in the gay nineties. Like
as not, 1t will turn out to be the
story Of Bruce Rogers and Joe
Bowles and how they got the job of
turning out the catalog of the
famous Walters collection in Bal
timore.
Bruce Rogers came to Indianap-
oils in 1890 by way of Lafayette to
be an illustrator on the News. He
had graduated from Purdue that
spring and had some extra-curricu-
lar achievements 20 show for it.
In his spare time he had designed
the 1889 covers for The Exponent,
The Souvenir and Debris and
old-timers credit him with the cover
of the schools catalog.
He came by these jobs honestly
enough for it is known, for sure,
that he was one of the two males in
the art class at Purdue. John T.
McCutcheon was the other. George
AIDE and Booth Harrington thought
some of joining the class at one
time but they never could quite
make up their minds about it.

The Senate fund would pay for

Cotton

lotion breeders are working to bring
to the cotton field the blood" of as,
American Indian cotton, that has onIv
one important good quality-exception-

Recent tests have revealed thar
strength and wearing quality is assoc;-
ated with fine fiber, as much as it is with
long hoer. Heretofore growers and spin-
ners alike highly priced Sea Island COT
ton tor its strength, took it for granted
that 1t was the long fiber that was the
essential characteristic.
Experiments In the Department OF
Agriculture have exploded this belief
ana indicate that strength is more re-
suit OF hneneSS of fiber than OF length.
In breeding to secure fine fiber. the De
partment has turned to all almost worth

Now Hopi isn't market cotton, since
it yields only a few pounds to the acre

Chemical warfare against injurious
bacteria, viruses, and parasites has done
much to reduce the hazards of the live
stock industry, according to Dr. John
K. Mohler, Chief OF the IT, 5. Bureau
OF Animal Industry.
While species of livestock parasites
number thousands, through diligent re-
search science has not only devised means
OF keeping such enemies down, but has
succeeding in practically annihilating
certain species.
DIR. Mohler points out that the cam
paign in the South against the cattle tick
has reclaimed about 81 per cent OF the
area formerly infested by this parasite.
Eradication of bovine tuberculosis has
been so successful that 40 entire states
are now practically free from the dis
ease.
Much of the success iii these states,
DIR. Mohler feels, has been due to the
whole-hearted cooperation OF livestock
owners and public veterinary and i've
stock officials. He also credits manu-
facturers of disinfectants and insectlcldes
with having a most important influence
by providing chemicals for use against
animal diseases and parasites
