The Cathedral Tomb.

If it should be definitely decided to
make the Washington Cathedral the
last resting place of Woodrow Wilson
the National Capital would for the
first time in history become the
sepulcher of one of the Presidents. AS
was noted when President Harding
died, the remains of those who have
held the executive office have been in
tered usually in the places of their
chief activities before entering or af-
ter leaving the White House. They
have all gone back, so to speak, to the
people with whom they lived. Mr..
Wilson. however, was after his retire
ment from office definitely sojourner
in Washington. This was his home;
save for his retention Of voting resi-.
dence in New Jersey, his only home.
So far as is known he had no thought
of ever leaving here. Whether he
would have made Washington his
home if he had been in perfect health
at the end of his term of office may
not be known.
Selection of the cathedral rather
than Arlington as the place of burial
may have significance. Mr.. Wilson,
though war President. was conspicu-
ously an advocate of peace and Of
measures for insuring peace to the
world. Perhaps on that score 1t Is
most fitting that his remains should
rest within the precincts of the church,
founded upon the injunction Peace
on EARTH" Yet at Arlington he would
have lain with the nations soldier
dead, and he was soldier COM
mander-in-chief Of the forces in the
greatest war in history, head of an
army that waged war for the sake Of
world peace. There would have been
appropriateness in that placing of his
tomb.
So, as at present it is understood.
Mr.. Wilson's body will lie within the
fabric of the cathedral, a place Of
highest honor. place accessible to all
who may come in the years to follow
and who wish to visit it as a tribute
of respect, and with him within the
same precincts may lie other great
Americans who, as the years pass,
leave their work on earth and for
whom a national enshrinement is
sought.
