WASHIYGroN,s LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

WASHINGTON'S LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
The report of the Council Of Fine Arts on the
site for q Lincoln memorial IN Washington,
suggested IN the bill introduced In the House
of Representativ by Mr.. Mccall, OF Massa
chusetts ought to prevent the passage Of that
III advised measure. Mr.. Mccall wants to have
Lincoln memorial of a monumental character
built on the ground between the Capitol and
the new Union Station. He has said that his
plan does not interfere with the plans OF the
PARK Commission. which suggested the con-
struction Of a Lincoln memorial ON the axis Of
the Capitol and the Washington Monument at
the point where a line drawn from the Capitol
through the monument touches the Potomac
River. The Massachusetts Representative con-
tends that though memorial OF some kind
should thus eventually be built on the Mall
axis to carry forward the original plans for
Washington's development II need not be
tribute to Lincoln. He prefers to reserve Lin
coin for his own project, which has relation
to the scheme outlined by rEnfant and devel-
oped by the Mcmillan Park Commission for
the adornment of the national capital. He says
that the Park Commission exceeded It's func-
tions when it invaded history" and appro-
prlated Lincons name and fame for it's river
side memorial.
The Council of Fine Arts reports that the
portion Of the city between the Capitol and
the Union Station is unsuitable as a site for
any, monumental work Of consequence. 1t is.
above ell things, unsuited 10 a memorial "of
the dignity and grandeur demanded in
memorial to Lincoln. The true site for such a
memorial the council rightly says. is the site
already selected. Mr.. McCalrs project would
involve an unfortunate attempt to beautify a
section of the city which does not lend itself
to the treatment which he proposes. 1t would in
volve a large expenditure on work not in har-
m0ny with the true plan for the capitals en-
bellishment. which it would impair by detract-
ing from the value of the real Lincoln memo
rial when It is completed.

CORRECT THE NAME.

A bill has been introduced into the New Jer-
COZ. State Senate for the commemoration or the
Hndson tercentenary which is in part COM
mendable. but also in part decidedly repre-
bensible 1t provides for the laying out con-
strfIcrion and maintenance of puDhc dFi'e

state Palisades Park, with suitable branches
connecting it with the river bank ana WIN
the crest of the Palisades To that extent IL
is a good measure and deserves TO he enacteu
Rut we observe that it directs that the drive
wsv shall be called the "Hendrlck HUDSON
Drive" and declares that ii is to be estaolisned
In celebration of the tercentenary of the as
covery of the Hudson River by "Hendr1ck HUI
SON" In that respect the bill urgently needs
amendment The discoverer Of the HUDSON
River was not Hendrick Hudson The man
who achieved that great feat was not known
nv that name in his lifetime, either III MS
native country or in the foreign land whose
service he entered for a time. Engiishmen
and Dutchmen alike called him Henry HUDSON
That was the only name to which he answered
To call him anything else is perverslon OF
history To give the spurious name OF Hen
dricl' Hudson to any memorial of him WOuld
be I'm impertinence and an injustice to his
memory
The bill In question should be corrected be-
fore 1t is passed. Let the truth Of history be
preserved"

Mr.. Ivins's remark, in reply to a suggestion
that charter legislation is improbable this
wear. that all the commission has to do is TO re-
port charter, is true enough technically. but
all good citizens desire the passage OF new
charter before the next municipal election SO
that the next administration can make a fresh
start. The Charter Revision Commission Is
surely not exempt from this consideration. 1t

that the new charter could not have been ready

RECORD OF THE Seventeenth
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Senate Favors Warrant Bill.

Senator Gove's bond bill to fund out
standing warrants with interest got
through the House on second reading
at Saturdays morning session. after a
prolonged discussion. taking so much
time that no other business was trans
acted. Mr.. Helbig proposed amend
ments regarding the taking up of these
warrants. He said that many of them
had been bought at heavy discounts,
some of the buyers paying only 80 per
cent OF the face value. Hence the peo-
pie who had first helped them had lost
great part of the money. He was
willing that the state should pay to the
buyers OF the warrants just what they
had expended, and If there was some
way to make up to the original holders
what they had lost in the forced sale,
he would be willing they should be re.
imbursed up to the full amount of
their claim. His amendments were re-
jected.
