that there We're state laws in force which
would greatly delay the calling together

IIc Is Eligible

There has been y great rattlng OF dry
bones in the House of Representatives re-
Gently over bin to permit the erection
in Washington of y statue OF James
Buchanan. AS The statue is to be Il gift
from Buchanan's collateral descendants
and the government is merely asked to
provide a site for it, the objection made to
the project savors Of pcevish discourtesy
as well as mossback bigotry. Why black
ball Buchanan as long as Washington
abounds in squares. circles and street in
tcrsectons designed to accommodate the
bronze or marble clligies of sufficiently
dead Amcricanso
Buchanan was not Il great President.
But he was a conspicuous public function
airy in the middle period Of the Republic.
He lasted through an era, and was per
haps q better representative of it than Il
great many others. Throughout his career
he was ranked as a Northern man with
Southern principles. But in that respect
he was not different from Lewis Cass or
Northern Democratic leaders. After all,
as "Unclc Joe Cannon wisely said in the
House the other day, Buchanan repre-
scnicd the attitude and policies Of a major
ity Of Americans from The time of Van
Buren, to The time OF Lincoln.
That era is far behind us, and It's acri-
monies may be safely left to the historians.
Let the District OF Columbia have a statue
OF Buchanan. lie can do no harm now to
tourists or to the native "cavc dwcllcrs. p"
If his image rises to artistic merit, every
thing else will be gladly forgiven him.
And it is still something to have been a
