Part of Message.

Resolutions were introduced in
both houses Of the General Assembly
Thursday calling upon the legislature
to appoint a commission to make the
investigation and report on the mat
ter at the earliest possible date. 1t
is said that r. H. Jennings, the State
treasurer, has addressed letter u

tor Mauldin is expected to introduce

until after we had arrived in New

kentucky May Put Them in the Ma
tional Hall Of Fame.

Dispatches from Washington and
from Kentucky's state capltal =
Frankfort-say the state legislature
soon will have under formal consid-
Grafton a bill providing that the Blue
Grass commonwealth place in the
Hall of Fame at Washington statues
OF Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.
Kentucky, with its long list OF
notable men, has no representative
figure in statuary hall. 1t is pointed
out that inesmuch as the Blue Grass
state was the birthplace OF the two
great leaders OF the civil war, It
could with propriety place statues OF
both Lincoln and Davis in the Hall
oe Fame.
Another thing that authors Of the
idea have in mind is q test OF na-
tional sentiment. They say 1t is de-
clared on all sides that bitterness
and rancor growing out of the inter
state struggle Aas disappeared. II
this is so, the statue promoters point
out there will be no opposition to the
possibility of Kentucky's placing
statues of It's two great dissenting
sons side by side in the Hall Of Fame.
This would symbolic more than
cny other thing, it is declares, the
disappearance Of the old ''war spir-
it." The Kentucky legislature IS now
in session and may act upon the
statue proposal within month.
