sionally now the matter comes up in rnyster1-
Gus way, for which one is willing to take
responsibility, but the idea is always speedily
checked
The last occasion when the rumbling of dis
content was heard was in the Spring Of 1928,
but. through the timely action of the Southern
Democrats and particularly Senator McKellar
Of Tennessee. the matter was checked and
every one in official position denied intention
to remove the statue. But maybe some day.
when Congress and the people are not looking,
some one will slip joker into bill and before
knowledge leaks cut the statue will be taken
down and stored away-just as they did IN
the case Of the statue Of Lincoln in front OF
the Court House. which. however. was later
restored. when a popular demand was made
for its re-erection on the same spot
Andrew Ja.kson's statue should lend courage
and determination to any President, just as
the monument to Washington to the south Of
the White House should inspire the Chief
Executive with those lofty ideals with which
the Father Of His Country was so freely
endowed. What If it is not work Of art
today, it considered to be so when it
was erected 80 years ago, and if it grows in
favor as the ancient Greek and Roman sculp-
ture has done, perhaps in thousand years it
may be looked upon as distinct work of art.
The statue is the work of Clark Mills, and

nowadays had his dificulties, for much dam
age was done to the trees along the highway
between the two places, for which an allow
ance in money was made
However. it finally arrived in this country
July 81, 184l, where q further problem in
handling the great bulk of 20 tons had to be
met. It was brought by boa. up the Eastern
Branch to the mouth Of the city canal and

drawn by means of capstans to the Capitol
and in due time was placed in the rotunda,
where 1t received all sorts Of adverse criticisms.
such as ''the distinguished citizen without a
shirt" THE Father of His Country about to
take BATH" ''the Roman George Washington"
etc Indeed it received Little favorable COM
ment, and in 1874 Congress directed that it
be removed to the grounds to the east front
Of the Capitol with the proviso that it be in
closed in temporary building. 1t had cost
the Government up to the time it was placed
in the Capitol $21 900. and to remove it from
there further appropriation of IS 600 was
made. In 1s47 the temporary structure sur

rounding it was removed and an iron railing
installed at further cost of 81 900, and 1t Is
in this condition that it is recalled by the early
Washingtonian.
In nearby Alexandria there is, of course, the
George Washington Men51ial, erected by the
Masons of the country and dedicated on May
IL, less than a year ago, and the Clark Mills
equestrian statue In own city at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Twenty-fifth street was un-
veiled with pomp and ceremony on February
%, 1860.
THE bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson in the
] Capitol is significant at this time, since
for 40 years it stood in the White House
grounds not far from the temporary statue
ornamenting the entrance to the Inaugural
Court of Honor. It's history is equally as inter-
esting, If not even more so as is that Of the
Greenough statue Of Washington.
The Jefferson statue was executed by David
dangers in his studio in Paris upon order Of
Uriah P. Levy, a Leutenant in the United
States Navy. It was modelled from an excellent
portrait Of Jefferson by Sully. in the posses
sion of Gen. Lafayette, and which is said to
have passed the ordeal of that venerated
patriots criticism, and when the work was

COR many years another statue to President
] Washington stood in the open to the east
of the Capitol. This is the famous Greenough
statue that for a few years stood in the
rotunda of the Capitol, was subsequently re-
moved to the east front of the Capitol where
it was enclosed by temporary building, and
finally in 1908, removed to the Smithsonian
Institution, where it now stands.
This statue was provided for by an act OF
Congress passed July 4, 1882, the contract being
given to Horatio Greenough. then but 81
years of age He was the son Of well-to-do
merchant in Boston, Mass, where he was
born September g. 1905, and his father gave
him good education, concluding with course
at Harvard University
He had natural talent and early began to
carve figures in chalk without previous in
struction. Soon, however Solomon Ward OF
Boston gave him some instruction in modelling
in clay and Apheus Cary, a stonecutter, gave
him an idea in the carving Of marble, and
his artistic skill was further developed by
a French sculptor named Binon. then residing
in Boston. In 1927 Greenough took up his
residence in Florence and here the statue was
made, and with much difficulty taken to Le'i-
horn fc- shipment to this country.

as Figures in Art Dis

BY JOHN CLACETT PROCTOR.

Roosevelt returned to the White
Y n House after having taken the
NM oath of Office a week. ago Satur
v day, it was quite fitting that he
should ride between the tenn
porary statues of George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson placed to the right and to
the left of the entrance to the Court Of Honor,
on Executive avenue.
For many years the different Presidents have
been constantly reminded of the illustrious
Washington every time they chance to look
to the South from the White House and upon
one occasion the late Calvin Coolidge even
turned the sight of this old shaft into telling
rebuke, when, after being called upon by a
newspaper correspondent tc express an opinion
on the unfortunate modern tendency in some
quarters to strip from the first President some
of our most beautiful traditions he turned to
the famous obelisk and simply said: Ills
monument still stands" And, SO it does; but
far more lasting will be his fame and great
ness, for these will for centuries outlast even
the great white shaft erected to his memory
by grateful people
There are not many memorials in the open
parks of the Capital to our former Presidents,
To Washington there are two, the obelisk and
an equestrian statue, one equestrian statue to
jackson, statue to Buchanan, two statues
and memorial to Lincoln, a statue each to
Grant and Garfield and a memorial begun to
Theodore Roosevelt.
There are no outside monuments In Wash
ington to the first John Adams nor to Jeffer-
son. Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams,
Van Buren, w. H. Harrison, Tyler, Polk. Tay-
lor Fillmore, Pierce, johnson, Hayes, Arthur.
Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison. Mckinley, Taft,
Wilson, Harding Coolidge or Hoover, and there
seems to be no present intention of erecting one
to these former Presidents.

early learned the trade of ornamental plas-

promise as a sculptor in Charleston, S. c.,
that his friends had arranged to pay his ex-
penses of studying art abroad. 1t was when
he was on his way to Europe with this inten-
ton in view that he visited Washington,
where his talent and original ideas made such
an impression that he was induced to give
up his foreign trip and remain to make the
statue of the hero of New O-lcans.
Up to this time there had been but one
equestrian statue executed and set up in the
United States, and this one, a statue of George

PROVIDENCE, r. l., September 8
(NA.N.A.) Like many another Eng
lishman visiting the United States, Peter
Barber will return to his native heath
this Fall. But, unlike the departing
lecturers, actors and run-of-the- mine
tourists who will patronize their favorite
steamship lines, Mr. Barber, who is OF
a small and select fraternity, will navi-
gate his own craft, 36-foot cutter.
Mr.. Barber's cutter, which will be 40
years old long before the owner can
claim the same degree of comparable
venerability, has seen plenty of ocean in
its day. So has the skipper
He and it arrived in New York few
weeks ago from CoWes. via the west
coast of Africa, the Canary Islands,
Gambia and other points of interest, to
the clan which delights in plotting di-
nlinutive shells across large and heav-
ing oceans. Barber had a steamboat
sailor for a crew when he anchored of
Port Washington. The fellow was by
way of being stranded in Gambia and
wanted to get back to America. For
the rest of the voyage, the young Briton
was alone.
To Have Refrigerator.
Only two improvements of note will
be made to the cutter, which he calls
1.-THE Enterprise. One is the installation
of an auxiliary engine. The other is
the addition of kerosene operated re-
frigerator The necessity for making
this second concession to effete travel
was impressed upon Barber during the
last 700 miles of his cruise. After
passing Bermuda his food went bad.
He was compelled to subsist on peanuts
and boiled rice, the peanuts, fortu-
nately. having'been thrust upon him in
Gambia
Barber recently left Bristol, r. l..
where he was the guest Of the Bristol
Yacht Club by invitation of Commo-
dore Charles B. Rockwell. He has &C
cepted the suggestion that his return
voyage, to be made early in November.
be started from Bristol.
For the benefit of lanlubbers who
may enviSion the Briton and his
little cutter being tossed high and tur-
bulently by belligerent November gales
and seas it can be explained that
whereas he scornS the luxury of the big
liners, he also has a jddicious turn of
mind which prevents him from trying
to make the Eastern trip obliquely
across the Atlantic. His plan is to lay
a course for Gibraltar, then coast along
the shores of Italy, across to Algeria
and then to Cairo.
An Interesting Trip.
Cairo is important. Barber had an
entertaining trip over Spanish Moroc-
can deserts during a hiatus in his sea-
faring on the westward trip. It seems
that his cutter was the first of its kind
that had been welcomed at Villa CiS-
neros. The skipper was admirably feted
and taken on 2000-mile camel jaunt
before he put to sea again. He wants
to break up the voyage in a similar
manner this Winter. Thus Cairo.
For a while he entertained the idea
of making it a Bristol, R. I.-Bristol,
England cruise, but calm consideration
of what the English Channel, in typical
Winter mood, might do to the fragile
little Enterprise, caused him to stow
the idea
