THE SO-CALLED HALL OF FAME

Little, perchance, did Stonewall
Jackson or Edgar Allan Poe think
when fighting or writing, respective
", that after the lapse of time their
names would be under consideration
by jury for tablets in an American
Hall of Fame. Yet such is the case,
and we learn from New York that
this Jury" has rejected the soldier,
Stonewall Jackson, and the poet,
Edgar Allan Poe, rs not of sufficient
greatness to occupy inches in this
temple of worldly Immortality, while
mt the same time we read that n tab
let will be placed there TO perpetuate
the memory of thewomanwh wrote
Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,
and another to stand as a memorial
to the poet Whittier, while Yet an
other places on the list of immortals
the Federal Admiral Farragut.
These are only samples OF the names
which this so-called Jury has seen fit
TO place higher on the pedestal OF
American fame than those of Stone
wall Jackson and Edgar Allan Poe,
and vet, after all is said, Jackson was
one OF the greatest military geniuses
this country has produced and one
of the most wonderful soldiers the
world has ever seen. while Poe stood
and still stands high abovea any Eng
lish speaking literateur, excepting, OF
course, the greatest of all literary
men, Shakespeare. The American
people may be able to understand
that this jury, which barely allowed
bv a small number OF votes over
those required a tablet to be erected
to Robert f. Lee, was actuated III
its rejection of Jackson's name by
some smouldering jealousy OF the
great Southern soldier, which years
OF peace and calm consideration have
been unable to Danish from their
hearts and minds, but understand
ing, while deprecating this, they will
still fail to understand or cOmpre-
bend how men of supposed ability
and intelligence could cody strike
down the name OF Edgar Allan Poe
and at the same time raise to tab
let of fame the name of Whittier.
Reason, Judgment and intelligence
reject such a decision as unjust and
unacceptable, and the only result OF
this verdict will be to make the
Hall of Fame, which might have been
a success. a veritable and overwhelm-
ipo failurp
