Dynamic Interviews.

The agitation In Germany over the
kaiser's loquacity and disposition to keep
in the limelight by means Of the print
ing press evokes curious situation. In
old times a censorship virtually existed
i'm Germany, with the effect of preventing
the free expression of public sentiment.
Now the press is not only free in Its
expressions of opinion. but startlingly
outspoken. and the suggestion has been
more than once printed recently that the
kaiser himself should be subjected to q
censorship. The fact that Chancellor Won
Buelow did not prevent the publication In
London OF the now celebrated interview In
the course of which the emperor posed as
the savior OF Great Britain in the Boer
war is bitterly resented by the German
people. who seem to feel that the chancel-
Tor is in ONCE largely to keep his chief out
of trouble. This situation is accumulated
afresh by the discovery that had it not
been for a change OF mind at the last
moment one OF the more important of
the American magazines would have
printed an article embracing an interview
an American writer recently had with
the kaiser. in course of which the German
ruler. 1t is limited. sharply criticised the
Vatican and the British government. and
otherwise generally rubbed the fur of
Europe the wrong way. The announce
ment that the article will not be printed
has. OF course. whetted the curiosity of
people on both sides of the Atlantic, and
IL will be surprising IL in the end the In
terview is not published In full In some
form. Just now interviews with the
kaiser are commanding a premium In the
literary market.

The Lincoln Memorial.

The project OF a Lincoln memorial in
Washington appeals strongly to the pa
tYiotic sentiment OF the American people.
Already the suggestion that q peristyle
be erected on the Union station plaza
has attracted attention as q specific move
In the direction Of accomplishment. In
another column on this page is printed
. comment by the Troy Times which
indicates that the standard contemplated
by The star for the government OF this
matter Is regarded az none too high.
There will be no dissent from the country
in case the Lincoln memorial project
Is undertaken on q basis Of. adequate
commemoration without regard to ex-
pense.
Alternative propositions are not lacking.
For example. the New York Times prints
q letter from Mr.. George Keller Of Hart
ford proposing that the Lincoln memorial
should be equivalent in size and Impress
iveness to the Washington Monument
Indeed Mr.. Keller's proposal is no less
than the erection Of a duplicate Of that
great shaft at point south sufficient
distance to bring the two obelisks SYM

axis of the Capitol and the Mall Mr..
Keller's idea is that ihasmuch as the
Washington Monument was by an error
Of engineering placed 375 feet on the
intersection OF the axes OF the White
House and the Capitol. the Lincoln
memorial would serve as an appropriate
means of re-establishing the balance.
The New York Times. commenting upon
the suggestion, regards 1t with disfavor
save from the point of view OF sur
veyor. 1t does not, however, dissent
from the thought that the Lincoln
memorial, whatever form 1t may take,
should be OF monumental proportions.
unique. artistic and fully symbolical Of
the position of Lincoln In the national
history. 1t says:
There will be suitable site for such
q monument In the newly planned grounds
of the Capitol. 1t should be built by tbs
whole nation without regard to cost and
should perpetuate the memory Of no Sec
tional dispute"
1t Is permissible to question the ad-
visibility OF considering the Capitol
grounds in this connection. The Lincoln
memorial should possess two distinctive
characteristics: difference from the ira
ditional form Of memorial creation and
empiacement In q manner to insure a
maximum of observation. 1t should not
be overshadowed by q public building
such a. the Capitol In the manner that
the Grant memorial Is now threatened
with comparative extinction. 1t should
lie upon one Of the great axes OF travel.
East OF the Capitol there Is no such po-
sition, and furthermore there Is already,
one mile to the eastward OF the building.
bronze Lincoln static. West OF the
Capitol the ground Is too low. The
peristyle suggestion for the station plaza
meets the requirement OF q conspicuous
site without the danger Of an overbalanc-
Ing.
Discussion Of this project should proceed
along the line Of an earnest desire to
accomplish results. There should be no
question whatever about securing from
Congress at this coming session a legisla-
tive enactment providing the funds for a
distinctive Lincoln memorial which will
adequately typify his relationship to the
American people.
