Senator CUllOm's announcement that
he will N the coming session Of Con-
gress propose an extensive memorial
Of Lincoln in Washington, viii not fail
to attract attention It is not proposed
that it should in anyway interfere with
the plans for a memorial to Mr. Nc
hinley, and It would be misfortune il
IT should do SO. a proper sense Of pro-
priety would seem to call fo- both
For obvious reasons it has beeen bet
ter to wait til time had healed some
OF the wounds of civil conflict before
proposing a memorial to the great man
whose public service played such an
important part in the history OF the
Republic The character of the man
and his services are now better appre-
ciated by all sections of the country.
In the history of the first century of
the Republic three names will occupy
a unique promiaence-those Of Wash
ington, Lincoln. and Mckinley. We
have a suitable memorial of Washing
ton, great white monument as beau
tiful as his character and as substan-
tial as his fame. If now we erect a
Su4td}lc lllCLltULt+l 70 l1tENlltlsE, " ASH
ington VIII be left with scant recogni-
ton of the memory of Lincoln We
have nothing but the Freedman's Non
ument in Lincoln Park and the modest
statue in front of the District Building.
The proposition for a Lincoln memo
rial may we'll go hand in hand with
the extensive plans now formed for the
a.
for the transformation OF the Mall
These plans might with reason include
such a memorial and the generosity of
a people who hold Lincoln's memory
dear VIII respond TO an appeal for
such a purpose without in any way in
terfering with the plans for a tribute
Of the same generous proportions to
