A SUGGESTION
To Memorial Societies and OrganI-
zatiOns.

1t has very. appropriately been sug-
gested that while many organizations and
associations of various kinds in Texas
are raising funds for the purpose Of erect
ing, a. some time in the future, mUnu-
mentS, memorial tablets, etc., in memory
of their honored dead, it would be adj
visable to save their funds and increase
them so as to erect such memorials in the
nav state capitol, whose early construc-
ton is fixed fact. We have been in
formed that in the rotunda, and in the
wall lines of the galleries above, inches
and large panels will be left for statu-
airy and memorial tablets; also in the CORR
doris are places for pedestals and statuary,
and, if desired, crypts can be made
the dome walls for the resting place of
our most distinguished dead. These
crypts can be sealed up and memorial
tablets placed in front of them, making
an imposing architectural effect.
If this idea should be carried out, the
rotunda would be made not only of per-
manent historical value, but one of the
handsomest and most attractive portions
of the great structure. Such statuary
could be placed in the building at any
time, and the organization OF association
placing memorial tablets or statuary to
their dead heroes in this building could
feel, what they can seldom feel when
they place them in graveyards or in pub
lie grounds, that here they will be
preserved and protected for all time
TO come. And in such a place as the
new capitol building far larger num-
Der of strangers will have an opportu.
nifty Of paying homage to our illustrious
dead than if the memorial slate were
placed elsewhere.
There is also in the building large
room for military museum in which
could be placed the various arms of The
military service, and if properly fitted up
with the art of skillful armorer, will af
ford great deal of interest to the Wis
itOr
