For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America of
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has different taste. To
whose inclination. then, is he to
bend?
NO, MOI Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac-
tical experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.

take on more and more the character
of beautiful creation in architecture

the struggle between the north and
south occupy conspicuous positions in
the most advantageously located of
the parks and circles with which the
seat of government abounds-yerdure-

though they might have been special
ly provided as sites for just such he
roic or life-size figures. Some of the
statues are under the shadow of the
capitol, others cluster about the White
where they will kindle Inspiration in
the patriotic pilgrim to the capital.
Much of the impressiveness of the
statues to the military heroes of the
Federal armies is doubtless due to the
fnct that almost all of them are eques-
trian. 1t is customary In all countries
to portray as 'men on horseback"
only the so-called royal personages. or
men who were actual commanders of
troops. or enjoyed the title of COM
mander. The first equestrian statue
ever erected in the Western Hem
isphere. was the one of George III. of
England, which stood In Bowling
Green at tho foot of Broadway, New
York city, and which during the war
for independence was melted up and
cast into bullets by patriotic daugh-
ters OF Miss Columbia.

equestrian statue In the United States
is the renowned one of Gen. Andrew
Jackson, which stands in the park d.
rectly in front OF the White House at
Washington. 1t is estimated that there
are 400 equestrian statues In the
world, of which number the city on
the Potomac will have. with the com.
pletion of the Grant memorial, a total
OF 12, most of them representations of
Civil war heroes.
The first statue arranged for in
honor of warrior identified with
the Civil war was that in which Gen.
winfield Scott is depicted mounted on
a charger at rest. This monument
was ordered In 1867. and was erected
seven years later. General Scott is
in the uniform of lieutenant general.
The material for the figures of horse
and rider was derived from cannon
captured during the Mexican war in
which General Scott won his greatest
fame. The pedestal for this statue is
