The soldiers’ monument will be located in the southwest corner of the court house yard, the committee evidently not agreeing with the suggestion that a monument park be arranged. However, this location will not prevent us all from admiring the handsome monument and believing in the patriotic spirit for which it stands, loving those who have served the flag, cheering those who are with us still and revering the memory of those who have joined the silent cavalry. We are all proud of our soldiers and we are all glad that a monument is to be erected to their memory. Secretary of State Bryan is for a world-wide treaty that will stop war in every nation of the globe. The millions who inhabit the earth are with him in this great work. His task is big, but he is prompted by pure motives and will succeed to a large degree at least. Judge Andrew A. Adams, chief justice of the appellate court of Indiana, has resigned to accept September Ist, the position of general counsel for Arbuckles Brothers of New York City. Judge Adams is a lawyer of great ability and will succeed in the big job for which he has been employed. He will be succeeded on the appellate bench by the Hon. Fred S. Caldwell of Winchester, than whom there is no better lawyer in Indiana. Mr. Caidwell was a candidate for the democratic nomination as judge of the supreme court two years ago, w-hen Judge R. K. Erwin was selected. His many Adams county friends will rejoice that he has been honored at this time, believing in his ability and admiring him for his many splendid traits of character.
