also apply to the Peace Monument, once
dedicated with BETTING ceremony and
brilliant parade to the valor and patriot
ism of the marines and sailors who gave
their life's blood to prevent the disruption
of the Union. 1 am prompted to register
this kick upon overhearing a party OF
tourists who We're at the time wondering
why such conspicuous monument should
be allowed to dry up and almost fall into
decay. Is such condition of Indifference
Or neglect conducive to civic pride, or
does it even indicate proper respect for

perpetual memento? OF course. / am
aware that it is somewhat old-fashoned
as compared with modern artistic ideals,
perhaps somewhat lacking in artistic
taste.' but the public in general is not
inclined to accept this esthetic opinion of
it. If it is not artistically proper then re-
move it. and replace it with one COM

THINKS SENTENCE SEVERE
COL. CORNMAN A VICTIM OF
TECHNICAL WRONG.
President Approves Sentence of
Court Martial for Alleged Viola
ton of Army Regulations.

President Roosevelt has acted on the
cases of Col. Daniel Cornman and Capt
Charles G. French of the 7th' Infantry
at Fort Wayne, Mich, recently tried by
court martial for alleged violations of the
regulations regarding the issue of forage
The sentence imposed by the court In
Cornman's case was suspension of one
month and a reprimand. which the Presi-
dent approved.
In the case of Capt. French the SEN
tence was dismissal, but that was modi-
fed to a reduction of fifty files in his
rank. which sentence was approved by
the President.
A press dispatch from Detroit says
that Col. Cornman made the following
statement last night regarding the
case:
Acted as He Thought He Should.

The only way in which I could have
found what officers of the post were guilty
of the conduct complained of would have
been to call each one before me personally
and accuse him of something which !
had no evidence to verify. That, l think,
would not have even been honorable.

Capt c. G. French, post quartermaster,
who is reduced fifty files, referring to the
modification of his sentence. remarked
that it was good to have friends. and that
while he had been In line to be promoted
soon to the rank Of major it would now
be three or four years before he would
again be in line for promotion.
