CARDINAL GIBBONS AGAINST TRUSTS Cardinal James Qlbbons believes the public has a night to exercise intel ligent control over corporations which serve it with necessities, in a recent public utterance the distinguished churchman denounced monopolists as heart less and said they exhibit a grasping avarice which has dried up every senti ment of sympathy and created a sordid selfishness which is deaf to cries of justice and fair treatment. SEEING THE CAPITAL STATUARY HALL A SIGHT NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED. Place Where the States Set Up Sta tues of Their Dead Statesmen As a Warning to the Living. Btatuary hall in the eapltol Is the place where the states set up statuos of dead statesmen as a warning to . the living. Any statesman who ever had any as pirations to ho great usually Is cured after ono look at the stat ues there. No matter how loudly the call of fame sounds In his ears ho If apt to think twice before he takes a step that will put him on a pedestal In a pair of baggy trousers and a coat that hikes up In the collar. )n an ngo when statesmen wore a different stylo of clothing tlipn Is now the fashion, a statue, when turned out by a skilled union statue builder fre quently was not only a work of art, but looked something like the person It was intended lo represent. Jn the days of togas and such like flowing raiment, when statesmen went bare legged and two-button vests and swal low-tailed coats were unknown, sta tues wero all right ; and it was worth a statesman's while to conduct him self In such a manor as to win one after he became cold in death. With nil duo respect for the late trainers of the constitution, they were not, as a rule, built on physical lines adapted to being gracefully reproduced in cold marble, particularly when the sculpturing Is done by Infant prodigy homo talent. We have the greatest ad miration for the live pronged intellect possessed by the lato Mr. Sam Adams I fcef Massachusetts. He spoke some of .the best pieces ever heard In Boston ?l a time when every patriot was work ing overtime thinking up sassy things to say about the king of England. It is to Mr. Adams that American his In Btatuary Hall. tory I? chiefly Indebted for tha notion lll?t_Qsorge_. 1H._ was a, d?ej>,_wily, clever tyrant?when us fi matter or fact ho was a harmless olil gentloman subject to fits, and passed most of his time tied up to the bedpost, counting the buttons on his vest. IJut, to get back to tho point, Mr. Adams while endowed with an Intellect that would give an ordinary man a headache was not exactly an Apollo in form. Pon dering over state questions had given him something closely akin to a dou bio chin, and even tho tongue of Hat te? y would hesitate to ascribe to him an. 'hing that could be described na a wa.r.t line. Had Mr. Adams been a Roman proconsul the sculptor would havo represented him In a bathrobo, with a battle ax In bis hand, and such llttlo physical defects as have been pointed out would not be noticed. Hut attirod as a substantial citizen of Bos ton, at a time when tailors were still proceeding on the theory that the mas culine form was a thing of beauty and adorned in knee pants, a spiked tal,nd coat and a frilled shirt, the Massachu setts patriot does not look to the aver ago spectator like a man capable of teetering the throne of England. Some Improvement in tho general offect of statuary hall might be pro duced if the sculptors did better team work. A convention of statuary hail .sculptors which would adopt rules and regulations and some sort of uniform specifications undoubtedly would make for good. Tho Hrst thing such cooper at ion should strive for should be a standardization of statues as to size. As it is. no two are executed on tho same scale, and as a result what might l)e Called Iho sky line of statuary hall Is very bad. ? vriitlc, consideration aside, tho conclusions Invited by com parisons arc most unjust to the states men represented. Some are giants in size and some are dwarfs. Uniformity of style in the matter of clothes also would work Improvement, it is not too harsh a criticism to say that the average tit of clothing in statuary hall is very poor, and a good consulting tailor would not be a bad addition to tho staff of sculptors. Still, as has been pointed out. statu ary hall has Its uses. Aspiring con gressmen who paws through ? every day derlvd therefrom a wholesome chastening effect such as could bo con veyed in no other way, except per haps by the reversal of tho majority In their districts.
