tSin-There is a suggestion being made and apparently being con- sidered by the Government of mak- ing an extension to the Provlnciai _ Building to provide, additional room, and to give it the character 0f 8*War Memorial. .

The Provincial Building is the only purely artistic building -wc rpossqes and shmiid be cherished as such. it is questionable whether the Architect exists who could 011M126 its present pure and chaste lines without seriously impairing, if not. destroying, its beauty.

"We have been reiitllnf; in the daily press for over two years of proposed memorials to the hon- ored dead who fell in the G eat War, and it must have struc us manv times that there is abroad in the land a very erroneous idea as to just what a memorial should be. On the other hand we have those who consider that thc proper kind of memorial is the purely utilitarian type. that something useful should he erected, not some- thing iu-iqxitiiful or rsuggostlvc, a sliating rink or a hospital. not u memorial uruh or monument. This llidiea scouts to me to ‘bc quite‘ wrong.

Current Comment:

The Patriot continues to grow smaller, and is becoming so infin- ltcsmniiy small that at its present rate of contraction it will be so small and insignificant, if it. is not that already, that it will not be able to find a hole small enough to, crawl into in future when it wants to escape or hide its shame. Hon. A. E. Arsenault was the elec- ted and recognized leader of the Conservative, local, party in this province. ‘He was also an ex-Pre- mier. Me was, to the chnrgin ‘of

the Patriot and its "powers behind" but most wisely on the part of the

Government, elevated to the Sup- reme Court bench. His first duty was to sever his political connec- KUS, and on the 3rd of June, BE- FORE HE ENTERED UPON THE

DUTiS Ofi‘ HIS OFFICE, he wrote a letter of retirement from the leadership of the party. and that

letter has driven the Liberal muck- raker jnto mortal spasms. To write, pr publish, a letter of tnrs kind, according to the Patriot, is “Lacking in Judgment" and "tn exceeding bed taste." Ia it the 0D- lnion of this Liberal non-entity that Mn‘. Areenuult should still con- tinue to hold his position as s party leader, or if not, that n: should keep the psrty, in whose service he had spent the best por- tion of hie life. tied up in ances tainty as to their course. simply

because he was about toenter n whereof ﬁtles to ‘his trout

But if we read the evening oar- per arightthe offense in not whnl- ly in writing the letter but. in plin- lishing it. Anything in thc line of open candor is, and has always been most repugnant both to [ms Patriot and to local Li-beraiismltir. Arsensult was always too Cilfltllil land outspoken to fit into their craf- ty ideas of the ipolitlcal gamc. His great offence to them was in telling the truth, and in insisting tlpun it as the duty of all public mun to be truthful and honorable. 'l‘his kind o! theology was most distasteful to the whole Bell Government craft whose sailing were at all times run .~by the char-ta of trickery, tie. caption and underground and biti- den methods of operation. Witi. honest people, however, a differ- ent standard a adopted, and a. let- ter, which is in good form, in pro per taste, and not only‘justified. but an absolute reuirement of good manners, if suitable to be written at all, is equally suitable for pub- lication. Therefor, while it is not sunprislng to find the Patriot up to its old ‘time reputation in mud- elinglng ahthoso who have frequ- ently bronght it to humiliation in the put, its scandal making will not effect any but itself.

The works of Shakespeare unrl Dickens. the paintings of Sir Joshua. ‘Reynolds and Turner, the curving of Grinilng Gibbons, the monumental architecture of lnigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren. the cathedrals of England, these are a heritage of the British and

soul of the people."
