Regardless of where the Lincoln
memorial may be located, it is graft
flying TO know from the character Of the
models now on exhibition AT the National
Museum. that the creation promises to be
artistic and a fitting expression of the
national sentiment. Both OF the designs
shown at the museum depart from the
conventional mode Of concentrating
great men. Formerly the highest con-
cept of a portraying souvenir was an
equestrian statue in the case of a mill
tary hero or standing figure to denote
a statesman. Washington is contested
with men on horseback, the main diff
ferences in these memorials being slight
variations in pedestals. The Washing
ton Monument stands conspicuously
alone among all such creations. With
out anything externally to denote the
purpose or significance of the great
shaft, it is nevertheless known instantly
to all beholders as the national tribute
in stone to the first President. Both Of the
Lincoln designs thus far evolved are
based upon the idea Of horizontal rather
than vertical impressiveness. 1t would be
obviously unsafe to evolve anything
similar to the Washington Monument,
especially in the near neighborhood of
that singularly effective and inspiring
obelisk.
AS regards the proposed Potomac Park
site. 1t Is always to be borne in mind

1t Is conceivable that British rule in India

to dictate another peoples system OF gov

years of furious storm because the mon

drift Of the French revolution. And
France at last became a republic In spite
of the restoration of the Bourbons after
