tion on the part of our public men and !nfluen-
tia citizens to devise in recognition Of the
services of the Civil War President memorials
of even more elaborate and imposing character
than the statues that have been erected in
30 many of the states that he abored to keep
under one flag.
recent notable instance of this trend was
found In the provision of an impressive memo
rial structure the famous Lincoln farm"
in Kentucky. The erection of this monumental
edifce, which was dedicated by President Taft
only few months ago. represents but one
phase of an ambitious project to restore and
protect the birthplace of Lincoln and the scene
of his early lfe making 1t, as 1t should be-
patriotic mecca to which great numbers Of
Lncoln's fellow-countrymen will make pilgrim
ages just as they do to the home of George
Washington at Mount Vernon and to the home
and tomb of Thomas Jefferson at Charlottes-
Vile. Virginia
Even more pretentious is the project now
before congress for $2.000,000 memorial to
Lincoln that shall be In the fullest sense a
tribute from the reunited nation. Visitors to
the seat of government in recent years have
often expressed wonder that whereas there are
In Washington appropriate testimonials to the
Father of His Country and other national
idols there has been no memorial commensu.
rate with the commanding place which Lin
coin has occupied in the history of the coup
try. The government has not been uncon.
scious OF this lack. but merely deferred action
until such time as there could be provided a
tribute worthy Of the great man who nspired
It This Is now assured. owing to the liberal
sum that will be expended in this labor of love
From the time 1t was decided that the occa-
sion had arrived for congress to take definite
action with reference to a national Lincoln
memorial there has been discussion and dif.
florence OF opinion to the form which this
acknowledgment Of the nations gratitude
should take. Most Of the men having voice in
the matter seem to have come to the CON
clison that the Ideal memorial will be a mas
sive monumental structure-a sort of temple
OF fame to be built of white marble ON the
banks OF the Potomac at Washington and
adorned with statues of Lincoln and repre-
sentations OF persons and events conspicu-
ously identified with his career The effect
would be. of course. to create companion
patriotic shrine to that at George Washing
tons Mount Vernon estate a few miles farther
down the same river.
However. many persons of prominence have
all along argued in favor of other forms Of
memorial. memorial bridge between the
national capital and the national cemetery at
Arlington beyond the Potomac has repeatedly
been suggested and has a memorial arch,

ing the mask. particularly difficult task ow-
ing to his high cheekbones. but the undertak-
ing entirely successful the mask coming
of in one piece and being especially satisfac-
tory in that 1t included the impress of both
ears-something that in many instances must
be omitted in the securance of a life mask
One of the most interesting OF all the LIN
coin statues Is the bronze figure in Lincoln
Park at Washington. which shows Lincoln
freeing the slave-an emblematic figure of the
great emancipator striking the shackles from
the hands of kneeng negro The signif-
cant feature in connection with this unique
statue Is that 1t erected by money con-
tributed through popular subscription by the
freed slaves. Another interesting memorial
to Lincoln at the capital he saved is found In
a simple silver plate on the pew which he
always occupied In the church, a few blocks
from the White House. of which he was
member. Congress has paid $780, 900 for the
house in which Lincoln died. and will, In all
probability. in time convert 1t into a Lincoln
Memorial Museum under governmental aus
pices. This will involve the expenditure of
considerable money because the building ia
now closely hemmed in by other buildings
which ought to be torn down in order to prop-'
erly safeguard the historic building against
