AH courthouses have to have domed. People wirVSo think that a courthouse would not be a courthouse without a dome. They have im bibed this idea probably from the fact that tho old courthouse at home had a dome. It is tho same way with soldiers' monumeuts. At one time the country was flooded with inartistic soldiers' monument, and now we can t get rid of them. We in America are suffering from a new disease which is not suffi ciently appreciated by its victims. It is THE XATIOXAT, DIS EASE OF PROSPERITY, and it leads us to a failure to appreciate material things.
