SOMETHING TO SIT ON.

A local architect named Scherrer proposes
to advertise himself by instituting legal pro-
ceedings to set aside the action of the Sol
diers' Monument Commissioners in selecting
the design of Mr.. Bruno Schmitz, the Ger
man artist. Scherrer's grievance is that his
design was not selected. He was clerk or
helper of some kind in the Office of the late
Edwin May. Mr.. May could not have taught
Scherrer anything about monumental archi-
lecture, for the simple that he did not
know anything about it. Scherrer may have
picked up some ideas the subject from
there He has never been heard of as a
monumental architect, and there is no more
reason why he should have competed for the
design of the soldiers monument than any
other householder. But he comes before
the public with a grievance, and proposes to
go to law to prevent the commission from pro-
ceeding under its contract with Mr.. Schmitz.
1t is just such proceedings as this that have
given Indianapolis a bad name. It has
been common remark, for years past,
that no public enterprise or improvement
could be proposed here that would not excite
opposition. There seems TO be spirit Of
narrowness and selfishness lying in wait to
attack every movement of the kind. Some
times it takes the form of defending the pub
lie interests. and sometimes of asserting pri-
vate ones. It was hoped the soldiers monu-
ment would escape the assaults of this petty
spirit. but it seems not. The interests of
one man are to be set up in opposition to the
popular viii, and while the public is waiting
for what is to be the finest monument in
America it is to be treated TO an exhibition of
Of Mr.. Scherrer's sore toe. Nothing since its
war record has given the State as wide and
honorable mention as the action of the Legis-
lature and the commission relative to the
soldiers monument. The selection of Mr..
Schmisz's design was approved by
the highest expert authority, and was
universally Endorsed as the beginning
OF new era in art in the United States-an

COMMENT AND OPINION.

For nearly every man who fingers in a saloon
some one waits and prays at home. Every man
who fingers in a saloon sacrifices something
his intellect, his integrity, his reputation. his
home, his love, his prospects, his hope There
is compensation. If, to the little children
who so seldom stray inside les gilded walls, the
poor MASTERS of life at the bar are kind and gen.
erous, this much is to their credlt-but it adds
no beauty of philanthropy to the foyer of hell in
which they wait.-Omaha World.
THE people of this coast will resent the mani
fest and outrageous Discrimination: they will
stand for their just rights and for protection.
Protection under the tariff. protection by in
ternal revenue, protection for American citizen-
ship. Oregon will sound the tocsn of the cam.
paien in June. 1t will be the battle cry of the
campaign. 1t will have dubious sound. It
will be the alarun bell to every other State
in which protection shall be the motto. and VIC
tory the result. And it Will win.-Portl and
News
PROHIBITION will still engage the attention
and command the sympathy of that consider
able mum Der of people who never Get below the
region of abstract speculation and of the still
larger number whose actions are guided by senti-
ment rather than reason. II may have resur-
rection in the remote future, when the habits OF
the people have undergone radical changes. For
the present, busy world. engaged in doing the
best thing under present conditions, will forget
all about it, in an attempt to promote practical
temperance by practical methods.-Sk Paul

In our opinion, there are certain so-called

so far as the South Is concerned. but long as

A DISPATCH from Huron, OAK, shows a

In the course of quarter of century,
more or less, we have observed quite number
of ambitious young men, who have come to
Indianapolis to astonish the country by build
ing up great and powerful newspapers. begin
their life work by attacking the Journal, with
the purpose to extinguish it and upon its
ruins rear their colossal ideal. Up to the
hour of going to press the Journal is doing
business at the old stand, while as to the
young men and their ideals-go ask the keeper
of the indianapolis newspaper cemetery.

The New York Times, in an editorial notice
of the proposed new plan of attack by the
Prohibitionists upon the public liquor saloon,
says:
what is worth considering, and what the
ProhibitioDists in laying out this novel plan
of campaign seem to have overlooked alto
gether, is the inevitable result of a decision of
the highest court in the land to the effect that
all liquor selling licenses are unconstitutional.
That result would be that unrestricted traffic
in liquor wonld at once take the place of the
present licensed system. TO abolish licenses
would not abolish the whisky trade, as the
Prohibitionists seem to imagine. There would
be no crime in selling liquor if licenses were
declared Unconstitutional, unless the State
Legislature made it a crime by passing pro-
hibitory law, so that after getting rid of the
licenses. which means increasing the traffic
while taking away the revenue for the State
which it created the Prohibitionists would
find themselves facing the same problem
which they have faced since their movement
was begun. They would still have to secure
prohibitory legislation to effect their objects
while they would have knocked away the only
support which temperance has in the form of
restrictive laws. Before any further action is
taken to make rum free throughout the land
the men who are said to be contemplating
such a move will do well to look an inch
ahead of their noses and get view of the
precipice toward which their rashness is
hurrying them"
