Kidney declared h'fs intention to re?
quest the district attorney to prosot
cute the members of the band. "I have
no prejudice against this organ iza
tion," he said, "but I pretest against
a band of masked men, whether theiv
masks black or white, entering,
ray church in the midst of the most
solemn service of the year and fright
ening womon *rtd 'children and dis
turbing the service. It is a violation
of law and I think it has gone far

dealt with as such."

Mexico's his
tory Is close
ly killed with
0I<1 Mexico.
It was the
Spanish Who were its flfst ex
plorers, De' Yaca visiting this
region in 1530 nn<i Coronado
four years luter. The natives^
were tlie I'uehlo Indians, al-/
though they are sointlmes errone
ously reputed to have been Az
tecs as they were well advanced
in the arts and had a compara
tively high civilization. '.These
Indians were conquered In 1098
by Juan de Onate and became
subject to Spanish rule, being
forced to work the mines and
pay tribute. Missions were estab
lished and Santa Fe was founded
about 1005.
Except for a period of ten
years when the Indians .evol ted
and maintained their Indepen
dence, New Mexico remained un
der ifyanlsh control until in 1821
Mexico gained its Independence
from Spain and New Mexico
became a province of Mexico.
Thus it remained until the out
break of the Mexican war, when
in 1840 Colonel Kearny marched
from Fort Leavenworth with his
troops, occupied Santa. Fe and
declared this region a part of the
United States. Iiy the Treaty
with Mexico in 1848, the upper
part of the state was formally
vetted to the United States and
the Territory of Mexico was or
ganized in 1851, which reached
from Texas to California.
Arizona was set off from New
Mexico in lS(?.'i and a few years
later a portion was contributed
to Colorado. Application for ad
mission as a slate started in
1850, but it was not until 11)10
that New Mexico became the
forty-seventh state.'
New Mexico ranks fourth in
size among rhe states with an
area of 122,0,'M square iniles, but
is sparsely populated and accord
ingly has only three electoral
votes for President.

18 ANCIENT ART
There Were Caricaturists Among
the Cave Men.
Leonardo da Vinci Prominent in Hi*
Da,V for His Work? Has Been
Powor for Qood.
Some of the most striking carica
tures oNtunr are from the hand of
Leonardo da VlncL They aro aatlrl*
ca 1 portraits of his contemporaries
ami distorted impressions of charae
tors encountered during a busy day
by the muDy-shled Italian gonitis;
they might have been inado for a
modern magazine, mo vlmful are they,
cruelly drawn, so vitally interesting.
Hut it was long before Da Vfncl'll
day tiiut tin* ea\e men who had their
rugged abodes In tWe cavern^ of
France and Spain, about which M.
File Fuure lias written so fascinating
ly. It has roiiiijined, however, for the
modorn mind to evolve a style in
caricature that makes of It a distinct
and engaging art.
<ioya and Daninier were of the cult
in its finest manifestations. Uustuye
Dore, who nev?vr really learned to
draw with provision, 1ms bequeathed
to use some gorgeous caricatures and
(among the nonprofessional artists)
Victor Hugo has shown himself pos
sessed of a spirited gift for the de
lineation of grimly humorous por
traits drawn with a sureness of touch
worthy of (lavarnl.
In our own country caricature has
become, an integral part of the dally
press, not cartooning, which Is a
branch of drawing as distinct from
caricature as pftstel painting Is dis
tinct from etching, hut the slmoA-pure
depletion of well-known figures In the
news: humorously stressed and keen
ly accentuating their facial and bod
ily characteristics. If we are to have
a national schopl of caricature we
must reckon with those native pioneers
of the. craft, Carlo do Fornaro, Alfred
Fr&uh, b)rn*?st Haskell and Oliver
Hereford.
Some yjay It may occur to sortie
wealthy patron of the liner arts to es
tablish a foundation for the instruc- I
tlon of .would-be caricaturists. The
ftian who has t lie temerity to do this <
will, of course, he taking his life In
his hands, /or the Ideaful caricaturist
must remain untrammeled in his art;
you cannot padlock Pegasus and ex
ix>et him to fly. If I were a million
aire 1 would ' secretly endow a school
of caricature and watch my wards
lampoon my friends.
More evils have been abated, more
polite crimes have been exposed by
the best of the caricaturists than all
the sermons preached In Christendom.
While Thomas Nast was chiefly ii car
toonist, his single figure of the Inre
Hill Tweed, with roving eye and n
costumo of prison plaid, and with
dollar Inarks cunningly Inserted In
the interstices, was the instrument
through Which public opinion finally
functioned in -a way that sent i.he arch
robber of New York politics to the
safe If uneasy haven of a penitentiary
career.
Given a caricature with fhe punch
of an Idea hofclnd It and you can work
'wonders of righteousness. Hut any
one can draw a distorted face; the
real art of, -caricature is llmt in which
there is purpose and a discernment
of such frailties as prominent flesh Is
