PUBLIC BUILDINGS OWNED BY TAXPAYERS
Local Art Galleries Should Be Open to Anybody for Exhibition Purposes Government Officials Admonished to "Smile and Look Pleasant."
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. By the way, who owns the public art galleries? ' A resident artist stated the other day that the local painters couldn't give an exhibition or have the use of the galleries without the consent of i the president of the Richmond Art As-j sociation. Another local painter said "The president, has kindly consent td to let me use the galleries for an ; exhibition of my own." ' Kindly consented." That is good. The fact is that the public art galleries are In a public school building erected by the money of the citizens of the community who pay taxes. Anybody with a legitimate object consistent with the purpose for which an art gallery i3 erected, or set aside, certainly should have the right of it,s use. This divine right business is not only laughable but has no part in a eountry supposed to have democratic institutions. It is said that arrangements have been made for an appropriation by the city council to be made to the local Art Association. For what purpose? The exhibition scheduled this year under the name of the Richmond Art Association, and which contained one picture by a Richmond artist, is openly r.n avowed private business enterprise. The exhibition now on is neither fish, fowl nor good red blood. Several jears ago a public spirited citizeness of the town instituted a prize for the best picture painted by a ! resident Indiana artist and one for tne beRt ,)y a Richmoud painter The pictures entered for the prize were exhibited at the annual exhibition of the association. This year they were not, since the doners were out of the country and it was uncertain whether or not the prizes would again be given. So the exhibition was arranged later, and is now on. Three artists from out of the city are made the jury and it is up to them as to what Richmond artists shall be permitted to be represented in this exhibit. The Indiana prize has never gone to a Richmond artist. It may this year since its constant bestowal otherwhere has proved high,y unpopular locally Once the Richmond prize of (25 was given to Bundy. This was positively funny. Bundy one of the leading landscapists in the county whose product is included in the Evans collection. The sardonics of this is obvious. Last year, when the unpopularity of the exclusion of the Richmond artists from the Art Association's exhibitions was apparant they were allowed permitted to have an exhibition of their own. It did not prove a success because nobody knew anything much about it and had supposed the annual exhibition was over. To reiterate, the present exhibitions of the, Richmond Art Association are personal enterprise The exhibit now on is one of Indiana artists to compete for a prize. Therefore what is the council appropriating money for? To fnake up the deficit of the Richmond Art Association's budget last year and this? The truth is that if the council appropriates money for this purpose it should certainly do so for the Richmond Symphony orchestra which is actually a local organization for the benefit of local people and out of which no one is making any money. But the legality of any of these appropriations is doubtful. However, if it is given for the Art association, as now constituted, it should be given any other local enterprise which so requests. The Fall Festival, in instance. Or the South Side Improvement association. Or the May Festival. Or certainly the Symphony orchestra. j None of these have asked for it. But they might and if they did there would be no reason for refusing. The appropriation made by the council as originally instituted was railroaded through by a newspaper man who was secretary of the Art Association and a member of council. Through some sleight of hand performance this appropriation was made an annual affair for several years. Theoretically government encouragement of the arts is ideal. But practically, as illustrated in Richmond, Indiana, it is a joke. Still on box. I'JLMf 35c needless, and should submit to

An official is sitting with back to the grand entrance, tilted in his swivel chair, with his feet comfortably elevated. Perhaps he's reading the Cinicnnati Enquirer, or the New York Journal or the Chicago American. In any event he reads on. You approach and say "Pardon me but may I No answer. "Excuse me but I'd like to ask " A sudden swift turn in the swivel chair exposes a frowning and august countenance. "Why I wanted to ask you about the cement curb you know 1 " "Well what do you want?" says Jove majestically. "I er I " "Well I can't sit here all day wait-1 ing. My time is valuable." "I just looked in," you murmur apologetically, "to know why the contractors cut down my tree when " "I have no time to discuss that matter today," says Jove turning his back and resuming his perusalof the McNamara case. "I was told you had the matter in charge " "I know nothing about it. You'll have- to cousult the city attorney." "I did, but he said you " "This is not in my jurisdiction and I can't be bothered. I'm busy I told you." "Well, of course, I hate to take up your time, but I just wanted to know " You find yourself addressing .the broad and manly back of Jove. You project a few other polite interrogations into empty space only to be re warded with a terrible rattling of the ; Enquirer or the Journal or the American, and a well directed rejection of ; "the filthy weed" toward the window, j hospitably open. For 'tis the summertime. Finally you retire feeling abject and crushed and relegated to oblivion. Once George Ade wrote a funny Fable about a man who became very, very great and was approached through a half dozen doors each guarded by a flunky who subjected you to the third degree before you reached the awful Presence. A banquet was given in honor of this man in the course of things as a testimonial to his public services. And, sitting at the head of the table, he squirmed uncomfortably under the calm and sardonic gaze of the head waiter, who w ent to school with him in Podunkville and knew what a mean lime ueasi ue always was, aim aisu knew how he, the head waiter had licked him once within an inch of his life for stealing a girl's dinner at noon and eating it all up behind the schoolhouse. The man in Ade's Fable is not the Only One. Although the United States has the smallest foreign going merchant marine in the world it possesses the most perfectly equipped and elaborate lighthouse service to be found on any coast line. During the last half century this service has cost $150,000,000, and its maintenance calls for the appropriation of about $7,000,000 annually.

A. (Remedy No (Family Should GDo Wifthouft
Ko matter how healthy a human being- may b It Is safe to say that not many months are passed without some obstruction of the bowels, in other words, constipation, even if only temporary. The bloating, the dull feeling may start after the evening meal. If a laxative is not taken that night It Is certain that sleep will not be sound, and you will awaken unrefreshed. Hence, it is important for you and for all the members of your family that a good, reliable laxative be always kept in the house for just such emergency. It is sure to be needed, and when needed you want it at hand. No family that is careful of its health can do without such a remedy. But the question of which remedy to have on hand is also of vast Importance. The laxative most highly recommended by the majority of intelligent Americans as ielne best for babies and grownups is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsary. Each gue6t came bearing a gift for the honor guest and all spent the day in a delightful manner, partaking of a sumptuous and delicious dinner at noon and spending the afternoon in talking over family interests. The guests included H. L. and Mrs. Ashley of Richmond and son Howard of Purdue university; Robert and Mrs. Ashley and children, J. W. and Mrs. Morehouse, Harry and Mrs. Tobias and children, all of this city; Ed. and Mrs. Ashley and son Maurice, Mrs. Morgan, Bert and Mrs. Verbryck and son, and Miss Ethel List of Galveston.
