A New Lincoln Highway Plan
ro the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
| Is the question of the location of the
Lincoln memorial still open? The de-
cision of the arts commission. backed by
the Endorsement of President Taft and
the congressional committee. that the
s. 0O0. 600 which has been appropriated by
the national government to commemorate
the life and deeds of the man who shares
| with Washington the love and esteem OF
every true American citizen should be
expended in the erection OF a suitable
edifice upon the Mall left the general
public under the impression that the
only question yet to be determined was
the form which the memorial shall take.
The recent announcement of the Presi-
dent, however, that he would, Tuesday,
hear any arguments which the advocates
of the Gettysburg road may wish to ad-
vance, and his further statement that the
location of the memorial may be carried
! over until December, would signify that
Senator Cullom's efforts to honor Lincoln.
which have extended over twenty years,
are still far from final achievement
There is no American. regardless Of the
section of the country from which he
may come, who will question the appro-
priateness OF memorial to Lincoln, but
should we endeavor to link with the COM
memoration of his name the field on
which the boodiest struggle Of this ma
tion's civil strife took place: the field
which Is stained with the blood of the
bravest men of the north and south
lands?
This is the day of peace. The United
States is the birthplace Of the world
wide peace movement, and President Taft
might we'll be called the father of that
movement Does this nation, which has,
through the consummation of treaties
with England and France, just signed,
done more to further universal peace than
any other nation, wish simultaneously
TO commemorate war by building a mag
nificent highway to one of the worlds
bloodiest. battletieds?
1t is true, there could be no more ap-
propriate means of honoring the name OF
nations hero than by building road
way to bear his name. This road would
not only recall to posterity the name or
Lincoln. but would. as well. confer
benefit upon the country. Such monu-
ment may appeal more strongly to the
practical than would another FORM But
what points shall this highway connect?
Lying on the banks of the Potomac, in
accessible, save by boat or railway, lies
the home of the country's father, four
teen miles from the capital which he
planned. Washington and Lincoln the
former the father of the country, the lat
ter the preserver of it's unity. are linked
in the minds of US all. Why should we
not, If we wish htto honor Lncoln's name
in such manner. build the Lincoln high
way from the District of Columbia TO
Mount Vernon. spanning the beautiful
Potomac with a bridge as magnificent as
any of those works of art which span the
Seine? Has the memory Of Washington
been duly honored? Let the Lincoln me-
mortal take the form of a highway. and
build that highway to Mount Vernon,
thus honoring Lincoln. and at the same
time bringing the home and tomb of
Washington within access of the capital.

No one was killed or seriously injured

Under the glorious rule Of the two
great Suyereigns Spain emerged from

but the benefits of statesmanlike use of

The decay that followed as a result
OF gross miSmanagement is in evidence
everywhere in the ruin of agricultural
lands through neglect of forestry ard ir-

ruin Of roads and bridges. the shrinking
