Again and again I am asked by people who know nothing about art, but know what they like, what there Is to admire In the pictures of Van Gogh, two of which have just been acquired for the British nation. I only run the risk of being laughed at If I say that Van Gogh did not paint a mere chair, but the soul of the chair, and that it is impossible to explain it to those who do not feel the passion with which that wonderful Dutchman realized his conception of the real nature of inanimate objects as well as of living beings. The wonder to me Is not that there are people willing to pay $15,000 and more for one of Van Goghs pictures, but that this practical recognition of his greatness was delayed until after his death, and that he was allowed to spend his life on earth in sordid poverty and neglect and on the verge of starvation. But such is the story of the masters of the Nineteenth century, and more particularly of the Impressionists and their immediate precursors, Jean Francois Millet, the painter of the Is a notable inAngelus, stance.

These unusual sums are not given merely because of the common interest partisans have in their parties. Both political parties have for years placed themselves in an indefensible position in these matters. Referring to revelations before senate committees, Senator Borah said these must not be acceptei as an impeachment either of the American form of government or of the capacity of the people to rule. Rather should they be acceptd as a call to duty to preserve and hand on to our posterity that inheritance which our forebears gave into our keeping.

A decrease In earnings in 1923 over 1922 amounting to $90,412.72 is shown by the i i Light and TracHon company report filed with the public utilities commission.

That the building record in Provo will reach a new mark during the current year is evidenced by the number of permits issued by A. A.

War brings waste, and extravagance, and then corruption. But the people of this country are sound, nevertheless. The government as a government is not corrupt. There are honest and faithful public servants and loyal and patriotic constituents. There are men and women, thousands and millions of them, just as willing to sacrifice for the honor of their country and just as capable of serving the cause of clean government as were their forebears. But the demoralization consequent upon the war does not tell the whole story. The country was shocked to learn that a very large sum of money was given to a high official by a party having business with the government What have we to say about an individual having business, or expecting to have business, with the government giving a very large sum of money to the political party, which is in control or seeking control of the entire machinery of the government? You can buy influence with a political party quite as effectvely as you can an individual. In the latter instance, it is still denounced in the former instance it has become an accepted practice. It appears, for instance, that one Individual gave 550,000 to the Demo, cratic party and another $75,000 to the Itepublcan party, and both were to do business with the How Much Can Man Lift? Just what a man can get under and lift with his back is a mooted question. I have seen a man get under a platform upon which 22 men were standing and rear up and stand with it for over a minute. When I was nineteen years old I picked up with my arms and carried for a few paces a casting weighing 640 pounds. Later I carried a sugar barrel full of chains weighing around 900 pounds and have carried exhundreds of barrels of oak-bar- k tract ranging from 600 to 800 pounds. I used to be a trifle proud of these feats until I got to perusing the World Almanac and noted real lifting and carrying feats which made my best look like childs play. If I remember rightly the heaviest lift made with the hands (unassisted with a rope around the neck) Is around a ton. Edgar Young in Adventure Magazine.
