Softly touching ARTIST BLAKELOCK Seated at a piano in a bungalow studio built for him at West Engle- wood, N. J., Ralph Albert Blakelock, the landscape artist whom fame found long after he had quit painting and had been sent to an insane asy- lum seventeen years ago, told his liberators that he would paint him- the s to accompany his words, he gave a picture of what he hoped to do despite his seventy years. Blake- lock was brought from the State Hos- pital for the Insane at Middletown, N. Y., by Mrs. Van Rensselaer Adams of Orange, N. Y., to Lynwood Lodge, a private sanitarium. Mrs. Adams, who with other admirers of Blake- lock’s art had arranged for his re- lease from Middletown on a six court ordering that Blakelock be placed in her care. Blakelock hopes to paint such a picture as he believed is expected of him because of his election to the National Academy of Design last year. It is probable that landscape along the Hudson will be his subject. A fund of $10,000 has been raised for the painter. If he makes pictures such as he used to make he will soon be able to repay his benefactors. It was when he peddled his pictures in vain seven- teen years ago in an effort to sup- port his family that he lost his mind. The career of Blakelock has been one of the tragedies of Ameri- can art. He was born in New York in 1847. He never attended an art school, but studied alone and gave play to his talent. His first fame came from Indian canvasses, but his landscapes won lasting place.

If you Have all the Money you Want--- F you could not use another Dollar for yourself or anyone else; if all your wants higher or lower, selfish or unselfish, private or public, for the things money alone can command are fulily satisfied; if there is no debt for you to pay, no book, picture or automobile you would buy, no trip you would take; if for you there is no “Cause that needs assistance, no wrong that needs resist- ance, no future in the distance,” nevertheless the Human instinct prompts you to go where you know there is more to be made. For money the swindler cheats, the scoundrel steals and the over ambitious sells his soul. For money largely teachers teach, preachers preach, and nations wage bloody wars. Some seek money in excess; some seek it in moderation. Some seek it now, and for themselves only, while others seek it for a future more or less remote. For the one the goal is “That I may be rich” and for another it is “that we all may be rich!” But what- ever the mode of procedure, the degree of intensity or the character of the motive, we all seek wealth, The root of all evil Those who call money “the root of all evil” are wrong on their facts. “There is a reason” why we all want money. We live in the flesh and are like the boy after the ground- hog—we’ve got to have it. Most of us have to eat, drink, wear clothes and live in houses. These essential wants supplied, we want better food, clothing and shelter. And we want a lot of other things—Ileisure, literature, art, travel, society, everything. If you are a Slave of Mill, Mine or Shop--- F you are tied down in a factory, business, mill, shop, mine or desk, and seek emancipation, or if you are tired paying rent, working for a landlord, and would love a home of your own, or if you are perfectly satisfied with your present location, occupation, con(}itions and prospects and would not move under any circum- stances, but could nevertheless, use a little more money, you surely would be interested in achieving liberty, power, social standing, opportunity to reach outward and upward and realize your innate potentiality. And preach or prate as you may, you cannot do without money. Acknowledge the corn and meet the issue! Moses found the highways closed Moses found looming above every highway the legend “no thoroughfare.” Others find in every path the same sign-board and hence their bitter, despairing cry “who shall deliver us?” To blame the system helps little. How can we change the system without money? It is like mak- ing brick without straw or catchirg birds by salting their tails. The move means a bill, then comes the collection, then a deficit, and then—!!! the Fireworks. Poverty is unnecessary Don’t believe that for you, your family, community, class, cause or race, poverty is necessary and inevitable. Once you accept that doctrine of Devils, your race is run, your sun is set. “All things,” says the Holy Writ, “are Yours.” Then let’s gird up our loins and go after them. Facts are facts, whether concerning ourselves, our families, our community, our class, our cause or our race; we must get money or surrender, and surrender is Death. The Hunger For Wealth OME say “Money is the root of all evil.” They are absolutely wrong on their Scripture, because Paul never saic'i it. It was not money, but the “love of money” he condemned. Even so, he meant excessive love of money; avarice, the blind ravenous appetite for too much; for money to be used in besotting ourselves and bludgeoning our fellows. But that is another story. Paul wanted money, just as Billy Sunday wants it—just as most all of us want it. Labor poils and organizes strikes, and the capitalist schemes, dreams and incurs nervous prostration for money. The author writes, the artist chisels, paints and sings, and the statesman runs for office. We may be Divinely moved to meet a crusade of sin, poverty and economic servitude. But we've hardly started till we face the demand for cold cash—the coin of the realm—and facing it vainly, thousands called with high callings to uplift and redeem the race, have been driven back to their holes and kennels to hunt a job or slave for a boss. It’s the World-wide, Age-long Tragedy Inspired souls would slay the dragon, poverty, but are themselves slain because of their own poverty. Through life, they tread a vicious circle; they would be free, but there is no Freedom without money. And it takes money to make money with which to win freedom. To be free in every sense of the word means highest achievement obtainable by human beings. The first step toward this goal is an abode of your own, be that abode a Hut, Cottage or Mansion. GEORGE G.
