A CI,I.en,s Opinion.

The sentiment which leads each town in
our country to erect its soldiers monument is
such noble one that II seems ungracious to
complain Of the monotonously commonplace
character Of the monuments themselves; yet
the fact remains that the conventional figure
of the soldier is overdone. There are too
many of them. The good housewife may
take solid delight in framing ''Wide Awake"
and East Asleep" but when she sees the
same chubby cherubs adjoining the "best
rooms" Of all her neighbors, the glory Of the
chrome begins to fade. Machine-made works
Of art suff,r fatally from over production (;
they stare each other out OF countenanoe.
They have, however, one excuse for being /;
they come cheap. Originality is expensive,
and only the few can afford it.
II Brattleboro were not especially favored,
it would be wild extravaganza for her to think
Of investing in real work Of art. All that
she could afford would be to order her soldier
from the foundry, assured that he will be no
worse than the rest of the regiment which
came from the same mould. But it happens
that Brattleboro has given birth to sculptor
of worldwide reputation, and has an oppor
tunity to procure the work which brought
him fame.
Not only the intrinsic merit of Mr. Meade
conce ption and the historic interest it woult
have as a reproduction of his original work
but the appropriateness of it as a memorial
render his offer one which Brazil, boro canno
afford to lose. One can hardly believe tina
there can be any serious difference Of opinion
as to embracing this rare opportunity. II /
is suffered to slip by, it will certainly be
source of long regret to our citizens.

There is a curious notion which sometimes
finds expression in discussions about the
proper memorial for our soldiers, that sol
diers' monument must necessarily have fig
ure of a soldier. This idea is based upon
total misconeeption Of the purpose of a mon
ument 1t is not primarily meant to keep
alive any form or costume-this is the use of
a sentiment The different ways in which
this can be done is simply matter of art,
The Bunker Hill monument and the Washing
ton monument answer their purpose, though
they give no pictures of the persons or scenes
they commemorate. The Egyptian obelisks
and the Roman triumphal arches told their
own Stories One of the oldest soldiers
monuments in England is the Battle Abbey
built by the Normans on the field Of Hast
ings. 1t was as truly monumental az though
it had been a statue OF William the Conquer
or. In the hands Of true artist the ideal
figure has many advantages over the literal
imitation of any well known form. This can
be seen in the army and navy monument on
Boston common. The soldier and sailor
stand at the base, but the browning figure is
the ideal 'Genius of America" on the sum
nit The sentiment of Larkin Mead's "Re-
cording Angel" is even more in harmony
with the feeling which prompts the raising of
a memorial to our dead soldiers The ming
ling of tender care and joyous confidence in
the upturned face tell the story of the war

The plan Of the smith Men.


There is a generally e1 pressed wish to know who

John Gregory Smith is not, Of the papers OPP
posed to Mr.. Edmunds would have the public believe.
SO far they have agreed upon one IT, as In the
instance Of Hon. Redheld Proctor, they have advo-
Gated another, the nominee has promptly declined.
There many for the prevalent opinion
that the fight is carried solely in Mr., Smiths in
terest Among the grounds for this conclusion are
these:
1. 1t lie known to all wel-informed persons that
Mr.. Smith has long hoped some time other 10 sit
in the United States Senate. He Is not young as
Mr.. Edmunds, who, unless the present opportunity
embraced to Gust him, could sit till he chose to
retire. Hence 1t is fair inference that Mr.. Smith
considers 1t a case of "now never"
2. The newspapers either Immediately under Mr..
Smiths control, like the Messenger in the hands
Of his friends, are solid against Mr.. Edmunds.
g. The men who do the most talking against Mr..
Edmunds all those who have acted with Mr. Smith
heretofore.
L. The campaign has been carried in the way
Mr. Smiths movements always are silently and mys-
teriously.

be stirred up, and, then, If the raid against Mr. Ed
munds seemed likely TO succeed Mr.. Smith could an-
nOunce his candidacy; but IT, the other hand the
anti-Edmunds boom did not materialze, II could be
claimed that Mr. Smith had not been in the field at
