The Lincoln Memorial.

\ clearance OF all questions relative to
the Lincoln memorial contract having
been effected. and all officer designated to
supervise the construction, the decision
of the commission and the Secretary OF
War to start the work formally on the
anniy of LincolnS birth, next
THURSDAY, is most gratifying The Star pro-
posed this appropriate date for the actual
breaking of ground as soon as the de-
cisiou regarding the award OF the con-
tracts was reached and sought to have
all the preliminaries arranged in season.
While it Is. in sense. unfortunate that
there is not sufficient time to permit the
arrangement of striking program on
this occasion, the simpIe breaking of the
ground for the great memorial will suf-
flee to mark the date and set a new mark
in the record of this enterprise, so long
under way, and now about to be consum-
mated.
The record of the Lincoln memorial
project has been long. and at times dis
couraging in the delays encountered. At
one time the very enthusiasm of those
who worked for the proper commemora-
ton OF the War President by the nation
threatened 1t. Various propositions were
advanced as to both the form and the site
for the memorial. These plans ranged
from simple shaft to a great road ex-
tending from Washington to Gettysburg.
Within this city many places were pro-
posed for the setting of the memorial.
whatever its form. At last the plan was
adopted of an architectural creation OF
appropriate size and design, non-utili-
tartan. but expressive In its lines and
significance of the character and services
of Lincoln Then a specific project was
chosen and at last definite situation
| was selected. which. when considered in
conjunction with the proposed and virtu-
ally adopted plan of a memorial bridge
across the Potomac to symbolic the re-
| union Of the sections, Is probably the
most suitable in all respects.

Value Of State Constab abulary.
hiladelphia Telegraph

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
In spite of some prejudice that has
anpear to have fully understood the
purpose which led to the creation Of the
state police, that body has proven Its
utility and justified itself over and owe,
again. Under the direction of Mai.
Groome it has been made model organi-
cation which has attracted the attention
OF authorities in other states which
sooner or later will have similar force
Of their own.
There is no other way in which pro-
lection can be assured on the country
roads and in rural communities. The
local authorities could not IL they would
maintain a guard of any real importance
and efficiency In such sections. The
cost makes 1t impossible. 1t is In these
exposed communities that the state police
has been most needed.

Misunderstanding Libraries.
the Pb,ladelphia Inquirer.


The plan for establishing character
building Libraries in number OF the
public schools is deserving OF en-
couragement. The matter is in charge
of the committee on elementary schools
of the board of public education, and
they propose to begin operations by in
stailing such libraries in three of the
downtown schools. If these prove sue
cessful they will be gradually extended
until all of the schools are supplied.
According to DR.. Brumbaugh. these
miniature libraries will contain only
and wornanly traits in the boys and
girl. and that will have tendency to
elevate their moral natures. The books
will be approved by d committee of the
board of education and of prominent
citizens interested in education. 1t is
the belief of those who are urging the
innovation that once the libraries are
started there will be many donations
Of suitable books from friends of the
children.

not be the work of year. however. lhat
may be regarded as assured. LOT sucn
large undertakings progress slowly. How
ever, it Is to be hoped that no time VIII
be lost, but that the spirit which the au-
thorities now show in the matter Will per-
sist, and that at every stage the work
will be pressed to the utmost consistent
with the care necessary TO pfoouce an
everlasting monument to an American
whose name is undyinS and whose serV-
ices haxe been of immeasurab.e value TO
the nation.

Pictures in Parks.
From the st. Louis Times.


Before anybody comes forward with the
suggestion that the park commissioner
plan for moving pictures in the parks or
Fairgrounds is whimsical or that it would
involve the city in extravaganza it is to
be hoped that the proposition will be
studied from all its aspects. The most
extravagant course city can pursue
is to permit its children to go wrong.
There are the public schools. of course;
but despite the existence of these safe
guards there are large numbers Of sadly
unschooled children in the city-children
whose parents appear to lack either the
ability or the will to attract young peo-
pies interests. Anything the city can do
to attract the interest of these children
in harmless or wholesome things is well
worth doing. Children who are interest
ed in moving pictures are not contemplat-
ing mischief of any kind. Young people
who are capable of realizing that the city
is interested in them are sure to become
interested in the city, if they are en-
dowed with normal reasoning power.
