Much Discussion Over Plans.
There was much discussion Of the
subject in and out Of congress before
the character Of the Lincoln memorial
was finally decided upon. Some peo-
pie thought that a road from Washing
ton to Gettysburg would be most APP
propriate; others suggested a mem
Orial bridge connecting the capital
with Arlington, where the soldier dead
Of the civil war are buried. Such a
bridge, indeed, will almost surely be
constructed later on, crossing the Po-
tomac to Arlington from the Potomac
Park, wherein the memorial is now in
process Of building; but II will be mere
ly incidental.
Some people were Of opinion that the
memorial (when finally it was de-
cided that a monumental building would
be most appropriately might best be To-
Gated at Arlington. Others were in
favor of the Soldiers Home, on the out
skirts OF Washington. The latter seemed
undesirable because not very accessible
other objections were offered to Airing
ton. The Potomac Park site had two
obvious and undeniable advantages: it
was where multitudes OF people could
easily visit II, and the memorial, If
erected there, would harmonic with
the general plan of the city.
Situate din the midst of a plain, with

memorial will be an object almost as
conspicuous as the Washington monu-
ment, when viewed from the heights
that surround the city on all sides
From the Virginia hills, across the
river, IL will loom superb Wherever
there Is point OF vantage for observa-
tion from many miles around, the
structural triad represented by the
capitol, the Washington monument. and
the Lincoln memorial will dominate the
