KentaCky'S Stale Capitol.

The following paragraph relative
to the new State Capitol of Ken
lucky is going the rounds of the
newspapers of the United States:
The people of Utah, about to
build a State capitol sent a CON-
mission all over the country to find
the best model. They selected
unanimously the Kentucky State
Capitol rs the most beautiful and
the best. Built of Indiana lime
stone, the structure at Frankfort
cost about 81, 100000, but the Salt
Lake Capitol will be constructed
vi Utah granite or Utah marble. "
The compliment to our building
is deserved. None can examine
the building from either the inside
or the outside without being i'm
pressed by its beautiful proper
lions, the general excellence of
architectural execution and the
loble simplicity of the design.
Moreover, it is a thing to be re-
membered by every citizen of Ken
lucky that this splendid building
was erected without . suspicion of
graft, without a dollar being was
ed, without the cost of any of the
component parts in any way eX--
ceeding the estimates
Although the final touches upon
che new Capitol were concluded
tfter Mr.. Beckham left Office as
Governor, all the details for the
building were arranged during his
incumbency, and the building was
nearly complete when he left office.
During the primary of 1906 an at
tempt was made to criticise Mr..
Beckham because he did not select
IN architect for the Capitol by
competition, but that remarkable
criticism was the only one made
then or since relative to the work
of the officials who superintendent
this building.
The Legislatures that have met
in this beautiful building have not,
however, been a credit to the
building or the State. 1t is pleas
ant to have other States commend
our Capitol, but it will be even
more gratifying if the work of our
next Legislature is such as to fur
nish a model for other States
