whereas, if this great highway wsfe
built it would be but a pleasant Jour
ney which thousands and hundreds Of
thousands would take every year.
According to the tentative plans
suggested by Mr.. McCleary, the road
would be two hundred feet wide, with
a greensward, interspersed with flow.
er beds, extending all the way. On
one side if this greensward would a
roadway of the most approved con-
stIA - - - use of iswifter
vehic1os, IKE the automob.s and a
similar roadway on the other Side for
carriages and other slow-moving We
hicles. Bordering these roadways
would be a right of way for trolley
lines, one devoted to the swift express
service, such as could make the trip
to Gettysburg in two hours, and the
other track for slower trolley ears
1t is suggested that each state
should be allowed to beautify and
adorn certain sections of the highway
according to its own taste. Accord
ing to the idea of the promoter, the
fame of Lincoln is growing year by
year, and his memorial should not be
a finished" monument, like a shaft
or arch, but memorial which the
generations which are to come after
us will take a pride and pleasure in
improving with successive contribu-
tions. So, like the great highway of
Appius Claudius, the Lincoln highway
could be lined with monuments and
villas and adorned in those countless
ways to which such highway would
lend itself.
The whole project comedies with
the good roads movement which is
now abroad in the land. While the
proposed highway would be in many
respects a thing of beauty, it's utility
would by no means be overlooked. 1t
would establish communication be-
tween two important sections of the
country, rich in history and in pres
ent day activity.
The plan is unique, and we feel
sure that the more it is considered
the more generally it will be ap-
proved.

A LINCOLN MEMORIAL HIGHWAY.

The proposition to construct mag
nificent highway from Washington to
Gettysburg as a memorial to Abraham
Lincoln is taking strong hold upon
the minds of the people, and it is
hoped that the suggestion will soon
take on definite shape
Mr.. James T. McC1eary, of Wash
ington, spent several months in Eu-
rope as the special representative of
the Lincoln memorial commission ap-
pointed by Congress, in search of
ideas for this national memorial and
in an article contributed to the Re
view of Reviews last fall he gave his
reasons for selecting a great highway
as the most fitting memorial.
He discusses the question by a pro-
cess of elimination. He shows that
the national capital already has in
the Washington monument the mob
blest memorial Of the kind that could
invite comparisons, which should not
be made between two such men as
Washington and Lincoln. He points
out that one-tenth Of all the eques-
trian statues in the world are located
in Washington. Paris has her Arch
of Triumph and London her Nelson
monument in Trafalgar Square.
The memorial to Lincoln, he thinks,
should be something unique, and SO,
in wandering about Europe, he came
to Rome and travelling along the APP
plan Way the thought occurred to him
that from every point Of view such
monument would be the most appro-
pirate memorial to Lincoln.
The triumphs in war and peace OF
Appius Claudius are long since for
gotten, and yet the great highway he
constructed twenty-five hundred years
ago still keeps his name alive and is
still in daily use, one of the most mo-
table OF all the monuments of the
Roman empire.
The proposed highway would be
seventy-two miles long, and would ex-
tend from Washington to Gettysburg
In its course it crosses Mason and
Dixon's line, and hence would be a
bond between North and South. It
would terminate at the battlefield
park of Gettysburg, where the nation
II government has already spent sew
N millions Of dollars. This park,
which is the finest of its kind in the
world. is one of which every Ameri-

Through The Argus, renown,
On the Giants going up,
Tobacconists going down.
This subject is easy,
We will all compete
For the situation,
The highest seat.
Now is the question,
How is this found?
The Giants going up.
TObaccOnists going down.
Twas some days ago
The Giants were third,
Tobacconists on top
And eating Red Bird.
Things seemed gloomy,
All very sore,
But oh, you Brandon,
And what about Stoehr,
Giants killing Red Birds
To the tune of four.
And the Tobacconists
Get three dips at the shore.
Now "R. E." is yelling all
Over this town
Giants going up and
TObaccOnists going down.
We all were there.
The weather was hot
But after the game
Oh such lot.
Andy" they cried,
Your arm needs a poultice,
Never again pitch
Against OTIS
WAS the umpire fair?'
Someone asked,
Yes, my friend, alas, alas.
Mobiles and buggies
Were now moving around,
The Giants were going up,
TObaecOnists going down.
The cry was heard
Far and wide,
Mr., is that option
yet alive?''
I'VE still have Andy.
Your word and bid.
Take him, sir,
1t includes the kid
The manager is in the country
Not in town,
For the Giants are going up,
TObaccOnists going down.

To sound and resound, ~
The Giants are way on top

Sept. 8, via New Orleans. Sept. s.
Much interest has been created in
Honduras by a rumor that the United
States was preparing to establish a
protectorate over this republic.
The rumor appears to have had it's
basis in the appointment of repre-
sentatives from this government to ar
range for refinancing of the foreign
debt of Honduras with bankers of New
York. President Davela has named
Juan E. Pardes and Pauline VAL
ladarez as emissaries of the govern
ment in connection with the proposed
loan. The former is vested with the
title of minister plenipotentiary and
envoy extraordinary, on special mis-
sion to the American government.
