Director Rowland now announces
that Mr.. Lincoln's portrait will not
hang beside that of Jefferson Davis
in the Hall of Fame, but will be
placed in the Historical depart
ment of the capitol building. This
conclusion was reached after the
people had repudiated his original
intention, does not relieve MIR.
Rowland of the EN- barrassing POI
sition in which he had placed him.
self. That Mr.. Lincoln's picture
was solicited for the Hall Of Fame
and then relegated to another de-
partment because of adverse criti-
cism, is painfully evident. If this
be true, Mr.. Rowland has made a
great mistake and has subjected
both sections of the country to un-
necessary modification. The great
ness of Davis and that of Lincoln
are predicated on opposite causes
and both men could not be rever-
enced equally by Mississippians
without violence to patriotism and
loyalty. This does not detract one
iota of greatness from either. 1t
means that Southerncrs can never
revere Mr.. Lincoln as they do Mr..
Davis because from their stand
point Mr.. Davis was right and
they are unwilling to concede any
thing to Mr.. Lincoln's greatness
that lessons their reverence for the
cause that the Confederate chief
tain advocated and lost.
The Hall of Fame should be
suspended until the Legislature
meets in 1904. Much of the his
tory being emphasized there at
present needs to be regulated by law
and not left to caprice, politics and
sentiment Let it be shut up un-
til the Legislature establishes it and
determines in some practical way
how to emphasize State history
there and to be just-just to all
Mississippians deserving of dis
tinction.
