With the near approach of the pri-

ilege of announcing as representative

but men of broad vision: men who

FLORIDA IN sTATUARY HALL

Thirteen years ago the legislature
of Florida passed an act providing
for the erection of a statue of Gen.
Edmund Kirby Smith in statuary hall
in the capital building at Washington.
Each state has the privilege OF being
represented in this collection by the
statue of two of its distinguished sons
but there are not many states that
could have the privilege of being rep
resented by general who was never
in battle that was not victory.
This was Florida's privilege, for her
son who became famous on the battle
Fields and later in the halls of learn
ing, enjoyed this unique distinction.
Fighting through two wars lasting in
the aggregate more than six years,
and in a number of Indian warS,the
army he was with-always as an Of
| ficer and sometimes as COMMANDMENTS
chief-invariab slept on the battle
| field from which the enemy had fled.
! This is not the record of one who had
| been in few battles but OF one who
had been in as many as any man of
! his generation or any American of any
generation.
Another privilege belonged to Flor
! ida which no other state could claim.
Gen. kirby-Smith was the last OF the
Confederate commanders to lay down
his arms and he did this not because
the forces under his command had
been defeated but because the Con
! federacy had crumbled everywhere
else and further resistance was use
less.
So the legislature made a most dis
tinguished selection for the man to
represent Florida but it seems as if
one delay after another has prevented
the carrying out Of it's plans. The leg
islature that made the selection failed
to make an appropriation but the sum
Of $4,000 was appropriated seven
years ago for this statute and after
Eanother delay the contract was let
and the statue had been completed
and in place for two years, but it has
never been presented by the state
and accepted by the federal govern
Iment. The unwilling ceremonies have
never taken place.
1t is not about time this matter was
attended to? Is there any excuse for
further delay? 1t has been stated that
congress has been very busy but what
has congress to do with the matter?
The statue was provided and paid for
by the legislature-this has all been
done and the statue is in place. 1t is
not a matter that calls for discussion
by congress. Nothing remains but
for the commission acting for the
Estate to present the statue and for the
government to accept it. Why not do
it at once?
