"I speak for the negro race," he said.
"Upon us perhaps More than upon any

"No one ia more sensible than the
negro himself, of Ip* incongruous po

But be it recorded to his everlasting
credit that no failure to reap tha full
reward of his sacrtAces has ever in the
least degree qualified his loyalty or
cooled hit patriotic fervor."
"A race that has produced a Feeder

a Booker Washington in the aftermath

JOHN HAYS FIRST
TO SUGGEST SITE
i
WASHINGTON, May SO. A nation’s
tribute to ita glorious dead reached
its climax today at the <}ediration of
the memorial creeled beside the Poto
mac to Abraham Lincoln by hia grate- *
ful countrymen. A former President
headed the commission which has lav
ished endless thought In making the
•tone emblem of* American gratitude j
worthy of the man whoae memory it
wiH perpetuate for America always.
The Preaident in person accepted the
work in the nation's name.
Spread across the pule terraces, the
lawns and the circling driveway* that
have been wrought do give the. memorial
building a setting, were thousand* of
Americans and the most distinguished
men in this country from foreign lands
also came -to pay their honjage at this
hew shrine of demorratfrlibcrty. ( lose
in about the rising tiers of jnsrble step*
were gathered the men who today
in their hands th« destinies of .tint
government ’'of the people, for the peo
ple, and by the people,” which Lin
eolrt Q gave his.-life to maintain, but be- i
hind these over a milk wide, sweep of
the Mall and- clear away to the, base
of the Washington monument a Inile
distant, from the meenarial were the '
common folk* from whom Lincoln came,
and for whom he -toiled rmllesely until
he was cut down by an assassin's bul
let. "
« The Nation’s Gift
The Lincoln Memorial, ike gift of
the nation to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, i|,*oAs of the* world’s moat .;
beautiful structures and the greatest
shrine of Ihr man who saved the union
impressive in its simplicity, the memo
rial probably is the. ma'sterpreeq of
all the' public buildings and memorials !
in the United States. It stands in Po- I
lonise park facing the Washington 1
monument, and its eonatnoction was
begun on Lincoln’s birthday anniver
sary in )9Ji. The total cost has been
approximately —-4
This monuffiept to Lincoln is a large
rectangular, building of • white . marble, ,
designed by Henry Harpn, a NaW York
architect. It hay « beautiful setting
on a direct east slid West line with the j
Washington monument yind the nation'*
rspitol and-rises 144 feet above the lev
el of the park. It ia composed of fou.r
principal features a statute of lh‘-
man, a Memorial of his Gettysburg ad
dress, a memorial of hia second
guru I address and a symbol of the L’rt *
ion of the States.
The Lincoln Statue
The most important object, in ' the
msraoriaf it the statue of Lincoln in
marble, by llaniM Cheater French, a*
New York sculptor, placed In the cen
tral halt where, by virtue of its im
posing position in the place of honor,
it predominates all-else. The statue i»
Cujossul in site and yet distinctively
pergonal. It represents Lincoln, seated, ;
In a thoughtful mood, and it the Arst
thing that meets the eye as one passes.-.)
through the immense colonnaded en
trance. Smaller halls, one at either '
side of the central halt, contain monu- !
imntal tablets in which deeply incised ,
letters reproduce word for word, Lin
coln's Gettysburg speech on the left
wall and the' address made by him at
,hls second inaugural on the right wall
Aboire these are two lafigv mural paint
ing* by Jules Guerin, a New York ar
tist, one .typifying "Emancipation” and
ihe other typifying ''Reunion." Their
firodurttpn occupied three years’ time.
The i atonnade
Surrounding the exterior of the walls
inclosing these memorials ia a magnifi
cent colonnade-forming a symbol of the
-union, each column representing ona
of the »fl states existing at the time
of Lincoln's death. On the outer walla
above the sblonnsde and auppqrteil at
intervals by eagles are 4* festoons, one
for each state existing at the present
time.
At one end of the great axis, planned
over a century ago. is the copilot of
the nation, which is the monument of
the government, and a mile westward
frum the capital is the 111 foot grantt*
■haft which ia the monument to George
Washington. Now. on this same great
axis half a mile west of the Washing '
ton monument stands the Lincoln Me
morial. This completes an unparalled
composition, a triology which imparts
to each of Its monuments s value in
addition to that which each standing
alone possesses
