no more time in paying to Abraham Lin
coin the tribute of a memorial here at
the National capital. 1t is eminently fit
ting that the year of his centenary should
be marked by the enactment OF a law
providing for an adequate expression of
the country's gratitude. With the senti-
ment engendered by the anniversary as an
influence it is believed to be possible to
obtain this legislation during the present
session. To meet the objection of mac
feasibility raised against the riverside
plan. without the bridge as an appurte-
nant feature. and that Of prohibitive cost,
with the bridge included in the plan as
component part it has been proposed to
erect a Lincoln memorial on the brow of
Capitol Hill. so designed as to harmonic
with the nearby large buildings and so
placed as to be conspicuously in view
from a long distance and easily reached
by the people.
One of the leading advocates Of this
plan to place the memorial between the
Capitol and the Union station has urged
it's adoption on the ground that 1T would
be within close view of the American
people every time train came in. The
visitors to Washington would see Lin
coin first. upon stepping forth upon the
plaza. The memorial would be visited. as
shrine, by perhaps thousands daily. 1t
would become a vital force for the
patriotic uplift of the country.
This plan has been declared architecture
ally feasible. The passage of the bill
which provides for the purchase of the
necessary land and the procuring of
suitable design appropriating for these
purposes 81 coo. GOETHE largest sum ever
allotted by the government for single
memorials understood to be virtually
assured. This measure can pass at the
present session, but it is absolutely GER
tain that a bill to- place the memorial to
Lincoln on the riverside, with or without
the bridge, can not pass now and perhaps
not for A dozen years to come. Opposition
to the so-called plaza plan for Lincoln
memorial is therefore calculated to men
ace the execution of tribute to the great
President. already too long delayed, with
out making in the slightest degree more
probable the adoption by Congress of the
ideally superior but practically unattain-
able project which is the dream of the
architects. Such opposition. having gone
to legitimate lengths of argument and
representation. should cease if it becomes
clear that Congress will consent only to
would be unpatriotic and futile.

Judge Wright.

The miners union of Butte. Mont, has
adopted the following resolutions:
The members Of the Butte Miners
Union. in harmony with the forces OF
progress. a higher humanity and in the
name of right. justice. liberty and human
brotherhood. hereby go on record as
holding the decision of said judge in utter
contempt and reiterate the statement Of
Gompers Morrison and Mitchell that the
Buck Stove and Range Company of ST.
Louis is unfair to organized labor. and, in
the words of Patrick Henry: If that be
treason. make the most of II.
1t is this spirit which incites cranks and
reckless persons to write threatening let
ters to Judge Wright, and to make it ad-
visable for the police TO keep an eye open
as to his safety. Union labor is injured
by all such public expressions. Judge
Wright's decision. until overruled. is law.
and the man who holds the law IN con-
tempt is himself in contempt.

The Inaugural Resolution.

The introduction of special rule to
give the joint resolution making provision
for the inaugural preparations right Of
way in the House insureS at least an
early settlement of the question of
whether or not the citizens committee is
to have the use of the pension building
for the ball-reception. In all likelihood
Ii insures the passage of the resolution
as it was approved by the Senate. 1t is
hardly to he conceived that Congress will
at this late hour refuse the use of the
only building in which can be held the
social function which crowns the in
ausural ceremony and enables those in
charge TO provide the customary features
IF the occasion The citizens of Wash
ington have for years been carrying the
burden of preparation and execution in
order to make the presidential inauguraIs
worthy of the American people. and they
are proud and glad thus to participate in
the chief national ceremonial. If any
other plan than that pursued for quar-
ter of century is adopted it will be
necessary for the government itself to
take entire charge of the details of ar
rangement and to assume the full finan-
cial burden. 1t is impossible adequately
tn provide now for the Inauguration of
Taft and Sherman any new basis, and
inasmuch as there is no disposition dis
cernible at the Capitol to discriminate
against the newly elected President and
Vice President i'm the matter of the cere-

when the resolution is brought finally be-
fore the fun House it will be promptly APP
proved, not grudgingly, but with hearty
appreciation of the necessities of the oc-

Raines' Nomination of Root.

II was difficult task the Hon. John
Raines tackled at Albany last night
How we'll he succeeded is matter for in
dividual judgment. The probability is he
satisfied himself.
Mr.. Raines belongs to the political
school that is passing, or has passed. in
New York. He was a leader of 1t in its
days of power. lie represented it in
Congress for several terms. but has been
for longer time one of its working
forces in the state legislature. Naturally
he recalls its performances and celebrates
his old associates. That, in a way, is
credtabe to him.
A new school and new day are at
hand. and MIR. Raines recognizes the fact.
Still in office himself. and realizing that
he must march with the procession if he
is TO be of service. he halls the new chief
and pledges support.
But in doing this, Mr.. Raines, true to
his training. plays politics. In sal1Itinc
Mr.. Root, NE refers less to the latter 8
pre-eminent qualifications for the senator
ship and what his selection for the office
signifies than to his unbroken record as q
party man. He seems to regard Mr..
Roots party regularity as his chief claim
to consideration.
To emphasize his point Mr.. Raines
makes a thinly-veiled attack on Gov.
Hughes. He sees in the latter the man
who has attracted large support of
independent voters. and therefore. as he
thinks. is a menace to party organiza-
tion and duty Beware of leader
whom independents admire. He is as
a Greek bearing gifts. His strength
TN hoe
is the friend.
AS matter of fact Mr.. Root and
Gov Hughes point in the same direction.
Their success at this time means the
same thing. They admire and trust
each other. Mr.. Root in the Senate will
mark the same progress in New York
republicanism that Gov. Hughes at Al
bany does. Both men. in equal degree,
are an expression of the desire of the
people for new order of things. Each
would serve in the others place to the
satisfaction of all who are filled with
the prevailing sentiment. Mr.. Root at
Albany and Gov. Hughes in the Senate
would meet all the requirements of an
awakened public conscience operating in
matters of public policy.
Mr. Raines, therefore, may console HIM
self according to his needs. He cannot
confuse the situation or misinterpret the
result. In vain will he strive to praise
the one man at the expense of the other.
Both men are entitled to praise, and
for the same reason. Both are good re-
publicans. and good organization men in
all things bearing upon making the party
organization an instrument for advancing
sound policies rather than a machine for
obtaining and dividing political patronage
and other favors.
