A Very Modest Proposal

DEAN SWIFT, famed satirst, made what he
~ termed 'modest proposal" to end famine In
Ireland by eating the children of the Emerald Isle
Mr. Roosevelt now makes equally modest proposal
to end democracy in the United States by swallowing
the Supreme Court.
Even the corrupt English Parliament Of the reign of
Queen Anne refused to adopt Swifts suggestion
But the enlightened American Congress of 1897 will
doubtless adopt that Of the President.
Certainly the House of Representatives will do
Already the rubber stamps of that palladium of our
liberties tumbling themselves in the scramble
to indorse it.
And though the Senate may prove less amenable, Mr..
Roosevelt has held out to it the lure of additional Fed
eral udgeships, with all that this prospect implies in
the way of patronage Under these ccumstan 'who
could refuse''? Not the average Senator nowadays,
certainly.
Thus dictatorship in fact can be-and seemingly will
be-accomplished in America and democracy become
but quaint memory.
Congress already has abdicated its functions to the
Executive and the only remaining protection against
personal government is to be removed by legislative
coup detat.
The way will then be clear for 'totataran' STATE

The worlds greatest stronghold of representative
governments-and the American people will take the

They will like it, incidentally, because they will

FOR WE, NOT THE OTHER
FELLOW, ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE HAPPINESS AND
HARMONY OF OUR OWN LIVES,
AND AT FAULT IF THEY GO
ASKEW!
Our trouble springs originally,
from our childish Interpretation
of life" We think that life
means a series of outward acts
We do not realize that these out
ward acts are only a film a
mirage shallow, deceptive,
transient as a Hollywood set"
Our REAL life goes on inside us,
in the secret places of our own
spirit. And that real life is a
one-man business forever in
violate and apart.
FIRST LESSON
So the first lesson we all must
learn is to LIVE FREE to be
responsible for our own mental
and spiritual order or disorder,
health or sickness to safe
guard and maintain that inner
life regardless of the Other Eel
lows conduct.
Even admitting hat the Other
Fellow is as weak Oh coarse, unfair

our first JOB is to put our own
house in order and keep it so.
And this actually can be and has
been done under the most exaS-

stance.
Not that I'm advising anyone to
stay with a human menace-re-
gardleSs. That is an individual
decision which no outsider should
attempt to influence. But Separa-
ton, in itself, never solved any
human tangle.
The great problem is not how
to get along with the other fellow
but how to get along with your.
self. how to conduct your own
inner life so that it will be bal
anced and bundant, strong
enough to resist the mauling of
outer circumstances. This prob

Take the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the reorganization OF
the judicial system. There are
more constitutional experts to the
square inch in the Senate than
you could find in any given area
anywhere in the length and the
breadth of the land.
But let's turn to the proposal
of the extension of the East front
of the Capitol. The line of battle
in this instance is even more
clearly drawn than on the Su-
preme Court. And, do these men
have substantial backgrounds!
Take Harry Francis Cunning

The Human Side of the News = By Edwin C. Hill

>learned to paint in the academic
manner, but tossed it over con-
temptuously, and through years
of desperately hard work with
meager reward, stuck unwaver-
ingly to just one Self-imposed rule
in every stroke of his brush, he
painted exactly what he saw and
felt.
A wiry, leathery, Swarthy little
man, he painted with an elaborate
disregard of whether the panjan-
drums of art liked his pictures or
not. They most emphatically
didn't at first, but year b. year,
he gained recognition.
Singularly outstanding in the
world of art today is the versatile
portrait artist, Edmondo Pizzella.
Trained in rigorous European
schools and for many years an
exhibitor in Paris and other Euro
pean cities, the celebrated artist
came to America in 1911. The
superb quality of his work gained
him immediate recognition here
too, and he has made portraits
for such notables as Clarence
Mackay, Florence Kip Clarke,
Mrs. Charles B. Dillingham; and
Mrs. Lewis Latham Clarke, and
many others of prominence.
MODERN MODE
Pizzella prefers working in pas
tells, carrying on the gay tradition
OF the Eighteenth century masters
OF the craft with a modern alert.
ness and SmartneSs that is very
much in the modern mode. In his
New York studio the other day,
Plzzella explained:
Il prefer to paint in pastel
because l find it much more
effective, especially for women.
With 1t l can catch the quail
ties l want to paint-their ex-
preston, their elegance, their
graciOusness. Nothing else can
SO portray the delicate flesh
tones, the intensity of life."
Glancing around his charming
New York studio, it was evident
his work substantiated his state
ment. For the rare genius of
Plzzella lies in the secret of his
ability to capture that Intangible
and elusive quality of animation
that so strongly characterizes his
portraits. The effect Of his sub
jectS on cold canvas is sometimes
startling, as they almost breathe
with fire and beauty.
Pizzella paints with a keen
sense of form, a dramatic feeling
for light and shade, and while he
respects the great traditions of
his medium, he doesn't particu-
larly admire the art fakers-
these sly fellows who defile the
great altar of art with their
wretched angularities and sense
less curves, stupid prisms and
general obscenities. Pizzella paints
true to life and according to his
own ideals. A great artist, Piz-
zella, placed by some in a class
with Michelangelo, and the world
of art today is richer for his
contributions.

ment. His choice of bleak, forbid
ding subjects, his contorted figures,
his occasional savage satire of
some brutal or banal aspect of our
national life have brought the
charge that though his paintings
may be clinical documents they
are not art. That probably never
will be finally decided.
One reason why art is long is
that it is forever { wide open
subject. One mans art is another
mans bunk. But there are artists,
men whose work has survived and
whose names are still green, who
were savage caricaturists of the
life around them-Daumier, for
