A card IN this issue of THE DAILY
LEADER from the Rev. DR.. Wolff on the
local election issue is no doubt well
meant, but i'll advised. The Doctor is
much more weighty in distinction than
be is in difference when he tries to sep
arate reinforcement" from prohibition
IN South Dakota or in the city OF Mad
ison. Voters will fail to recognize any
difference. And again, the Doctor could
not have looked in upon the convention
which nominated Mr.. Iarkin when he
says: "Shall Larkin be elected by the
worst elements Of the city," The Doc
tor is evidently induIging in his usual
pharlsaism, and so must that little select
band of thirty-tive who remained behind
in the Presbyterian church after ''the
worst elements OF the city" had depart
ed, when they nominated Mr.. Whitmore
But then even this little lmmacu-
late band should not forget that the
great outside world has its laws OF be-
ing which must be taken into considera.
ton even to the discontinue OF MIR.
Whltmore or the Doctor himself. Past
mayors Of this city lave not ruled In
disregard Of law or order. nor will Mr..
Larkin. The cause Of law and order has
evidently far more TO fear from it's fool
friends than from its enemies.
20 would some power the gift but give u,
To see ourselves a. others see us.
It would from many Il blunder free Us.

DOESN'T LIKE THE CARVING.

The Ornamental Work on the City
Post Office Building Criticised.
Mr.. Dominick A. Walsh, writing to The
Star from Newark. N. J., In reference to
the stonework on tho new city post office
building. says:
1.-THE miserable attempt at beautifying a
government building in Washington with
such an assemblage Of badly designed and
cheaply executed carving as has been done
on this building should not be allowed, and
rather than have 1t done In such a manner
it would have been far better left plain.
trusting to the architectural lines alone for
beauty. This Is particularly noticeable on
the front elevation. On the east and west
sides there Is a disregard entirely for orna-
mentation. The stohes that should be
carved to be In keeping with the front are
left plain or rough, asrthe case may be. The
excuse may be made that the material
used will not admit Of technical handling
in ornament, but this Is not the case, for IN
granite, like any other material used in
buildings CT the present time, the highest
degree Of excellence can be obtained in or
namentation. We have only to look at the
magnificent new Library Of Congress, built
Of the same material, and the eye Is charm
ed with the beauty of its ornamental de-
tails. Compare the carving on this build
ing with that of the post office, and ask
yourself where are the art and artists that
the city of Washington boasts of to allow
such building to be disfigured without a
protest?"
