committee which they themselves had selected, consider the Royal Exhibit-
ion of 1908 and what that stands for, and the so-called Linked-Ring-Photo-
Secession Salon and what that stands for, and make their choice. But, in
choosing, let them not forget the fate of the Philadelphia Salon; for inevita-
bly the same fate is in store for the “ Linked Ring,” if it does not keep true
to itself and the progress of the times.
There can be no half-hearted or temporising measures. The fate of
the “Linked Ring” is at stake. It had better die than be false to the
traditions and standards of its finest past; better not be at all than exist to
become but a dead weight to the movement in England; holding back the
progress of events, till thrown off and thrust aside by a body more capable
of conserving the interests and progress of photography as a means of
original expression.
