IN HALL OF FAME
STATUES OF WASHINGTON AND
LEE TO BE PLACED THERE.
Virginia Will Offer Bronzes of Father
of Our Country and Confederate
Leader to Congress at Its
Next Session.

Washington.-The last vestige of the
line which formerly divided in the Uni
ted States all that was northern in
feeling i"om all that was southern will
be obliterated when, at the coming ses-
sion of congress, the time arrives to
accept the two statues which the state
of Virginia has offered as her contribu-
ton to the nations hall of fame, Statu-
ary hall
For, along with the statue of George
Washington, the Old Dominion is offer
ing as her second choice of all her il
iustrious sons the sculptured likeness
of Robert Edward Lee, the knightly
commander of the armies of the lost
casse.
The story of Virginia's choice is one
of the most interesting episodes of re-
cent times, serving as it does to show
how generous is the appreciation of
the American people for a fine charac
ter, and how eager the nation is to for
get the bitterness of the great struggle
which once threatened to disrupt the
union of the states.
1t was not without some misgivings
lhNt the leSiSialuie { VI NhSinld ueclueu
to offer the statue of Gen. Lee to the
nation 1t was, in fact, the first time
she had chosen a statue for the hall
for the plaster replica of Houdons S
Washington which has long had a
place of honor in statuary hall, was
never, it now appears, offered by Vir-
gipia, although for many years sup
posed to have been her gift No one
has been able to find out how the
The Colorado statesman., 1909-08-21

rather shabby cast of the Father of
His Country" got into the hall at all,
and it is only now that it is about to
be replaced with a fine bronze copy of
the original statue by Houdon, which
stands in the rotunda of the state capi-
tol at Richmond, that inquiry has been
made.
The original statute by which con-
gress in 1916 set aside the former
chamber of the house of representa-
tives as national statuary hall pro-
vided that each state of the union
should have the privilege of selecting
two of its deceased citizens, "Illustri-
GUS for their historic renown or for dis
tinguished civic or military services"
to be commemorated therein by their
statues in marble or bronze
In response to the invitation of the
statute the Virginia Legislature, Janu-
airy 13, 1903, passed bill, offered by
Don P. Halsey, providing that one of
the statues to be presented by Virginia
should be that of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
This decision was arrived at not
without lengthy discussion and ex-
tended comment While the bill was
under consideration some members of
the legislature expressed the fear that
its passage might be the occasion of a
great storm of disapproval in the north
and thereby rekindle sectional feeling.
This fear led two members of the SEN
ate and seven members of the house
to vote against the bill. These votes
were for the most part cast by former
confederate soldiers, to whom the
memory of Lee was too sacred for
them to risk any possibility of hostile
criticism to the proposed presentation
OF his statue to the nation The two
senators eventually realized that this
fear was not justifiIa, and not only
withdrew their opposition to the bill
but accepted membership on the COM
mission having the presentation in
charge.
When the bill was sassed the discus
sion was at its height and Gov Monta-
que declined to sign it and allowed it
to become law without his signature
The Lee statue was designed and
modelled by the eminent Virginia scu1p-
tor, Edward V. Valentine of Richmond
Va, the same artist who made the IA
nous recumbent statue of Lee which
rests over his tomb in Lexington. It is
a splendid life-size likeness of Lee as
he was in life, having been made by
the sculptor to conform exactly to
measurements and photographs which
were taken of him personally during
and after the war. The very uniform,
sword and boots worn by Gen. Lee dur
ing the war were copied in their mi
nutest details, and the statue is not
only notable work of art but yun-
doubtedly the very best portrait of Lee
as he was that has ever been made.

SENATE CHAIRS AS KEEPSAKEs
Upper House of Congress Refuses to
Depart from Rule Not to Give
Seats Away.

Washington.-It is not strange that
the relations of the late Senator ALI
son should have made repeated and
strenuous efforts to obtain the chair
in which he sat until he became the
nestor of the body Such trophies
make heirlooms of the most intimate
interest. but in spite of the apparent
reasonableness of the desire the SEN
ate refuses to break it's rule in such
cases.
1t is stated that the one man who
was allowed to retain his chair was
Vice-President Hamlin, permission be.
ing given him, not by the senate, but
by two or three committees control
ling appropriations. Their action was
criticised by the main body. and an
understanding reached that there
should be no repetition of it.
Chairs wear out in time but the
desks put into the senate chamber
when first occupied are still there,
though, of course, new ones have been
necessarily added as new states have
been admitted Efforts to get posses.
sion of those occupied by famous men
of the past have been frequent, that at
which Jefferson Davis sat being most
in demand.
Perhaps it would be profitable ven.
ture of the government to make a
clearance sale of senate desks and
chairs. Doubtless enough could be
realized not only to stock up anew
throughout, but have comfortable
surplus. 1t is stated, however, that
the desks with the most famous as,
sociations are known to but few,
though record is kept. This is to
guard against the irresponsible relic

Coming down the corridor one after

it dawned upon the newspaper man

to be discussing him. Things seemed
