C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1907. THE traveler entering the Ohio city of Canton from whatso ever direction can' see from afar the national McKinley memorial, a massive bulk, of white. dominating the city much as a feudal baron's castle stooa guard over a forti fied town or old Europe ia tha days of chivalry. I'rom the crest of Monument bill the mausoleum thrusts upward into the blue its bundled feet of white granite, shimmering and gleaming, ri valing in purity the stone of Carrara or the white clouds above it. It overlooks the city, and the city is very proud of the monument. Most Americans knew McKinley as a public man a presi dent. Canton knew McKinley also as a Cantoniau. Ilis old ngishbors can tell of McKinley's first political vic tory, of las election as prosecuting at torney or Marti county. In congress, as governor, ha had their well wishes. but not until the days of 1890. still memorable ia the county seat of "old Molly Stark," did they give him up en tirely to the nation. That summer the of vision he vzv.il perforce turn his at tention to the marvelous beauty of the approaches and surrounding parks. The crest of Monument hill is seventy five feet above the nark land round about, and the slope Is almost uniform in all directions, rs though the hill had been cast in a- mold for the purpose. From tha olaza at the head of -the Longwater, the hilt of the sword, a terr raced stairway almost sixty feet high and as wide as it is long, leads upward to a, stone platform ITS feet In diame ter, the base of -the tomb. Another hundred feet the dome towers, and to the apex of the Interior it Is more than seventy-five feet. Even at a short, distance the pink Milford granite' of which it is built appears almost pure white, the more clear doubtless for the touch of tint. . The stairways of the same stone have prepared the eye for the simple, domelike expanse of white, which belies with an appearance of greater size its actual diameter of seventy-eight feet on the exterior and fifty-eight within. sarcophagi are most prominent The place is a tomb severely classical. In conception and execution. It does not," like the Garfield monument, more Ro manesque in design, unfold Itself to the passing glance. The first impres sion is not the most pleasurable im pression. The McKinley memorial does not yield up all its grandeur without study and contemplation. Every pleco of ornamentation is pregnant with sig liineunte. The columns are Doric. An American eagie is the most notice able bas-relief. The dome bears a sen tence from McKinley's Buffalo address: Let us ever remember that our inieictt is in concord, not con flict; that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war. The tomb itself is the impressive centerpiece of a landscape plan of a maguincence and appropriateness of afc "would hear President Roosevelt pronoanee the oration at the nnveiling exercises on the afternoon of the last day lit September, would hear Justice Day's hletorteal address and would lis ten to the nation's patriotic son as the melody was hurled to Its echo In the " surroendinr- woods by a male chorus of more than a hundred Toices.

And now Canton, which has watched its progress from the time the first stone was placed, gives up to the na tlon the McK'nley tormV In three ways the McKinley national memorial is held to be unique It was built by popular subscription in the fullest meaning, of that term; it has been completed within the time set in the contract: it was built within the first estimate of its cost v The citizen.1 or the nation paid for the McKinley caaselevm. The people at large gave the $600,000 needed for the building f.ud maintenance of this tomb. No contribution exceeded '$5,000, and few were of that magnitude. In the committee which had charge of the arrangements on that day of sorrow when " Canton received the great men of the nation as mourners at the dead president's bier, the Me Klnley Memorial association had its inception. A few days after the funer al an organization was formed under the laws of Ohio having as its name the McKinley National Memorial asso ciation. , President Roosevelt was ask ed to name trusteesr A statement to the public asked funds. It was deter mined at the outset that men of vast permit necessary landscape gardening and furnish a sufficient income to keep the proper attendants In charge, ine plan to do away with the necessity of charging an admission iee nas oeen successful.

C city's streets were tilled with marching j men, who passed beneath a triumphal arch to the home now to-be preserved as a memorial and asked McKinley to lead the nation.. In the past oecaae Canton has burled McKinley, has bur led his widow and has seen his mauso leum grow. The mausoleum stands on the north western edge of the city of 50,000 in habitants. On no one of the seven hills of Rome not on the Capitoline it self or off to the southeast, wher.' stretched tbf Forum and the Coli seumwas there a temple so imposing, so appropriately expressive of "the spirit of tho place," as the memorial a modern nation has erected to Itr. fallen chief in tho. twentieth century. The mausoleum, with its approaches, forms a sword with a cross in the hilt, aud the scheme is rather symbolical of the history of y? United States. Tne sword with the hilt In the shape of a cross was not to symbolize the war with- Spain. That war, however, ex plains one phase of Its meaning. The main approach to tne monument is the blade of the sword. As the vis itor walks from the point of tho sword toward its hilt ho -sees before him a thousand feet or ro In the water of a shallow lagoon 575 feet in length and fifty feet widethe "Longwater" of the "McKinley mausoleum the reflec tion of the tomb itself, the broad white granite dome mirrored in the clear streatn that flows sedately over four cascades to Its subterranean outlet be ,ay h ilrive he follows.

The finished grading cost $d0,OUU, the Longwater $70,000 and the mauso leum itself about $423,000. The me morial as a whole represents an out lay of $r25.000. Grant's tomb cost as This memorial was erected by contributions of more than a miUion men, women and chil dren in the United States and many others in foreign lands. . mm wealth were not to be permitted tO contribute munificently to the memo rial fund. The tomb was to be In tlw truest sense the nation's memorial. It was to be erected at Canton. McKin ley's home, on an eminence overlook ing his residence, within sight, too, of the old McKinley home In which his mother died, almost within a stones throw of the graves of his children and but a similar distance from the littlo moss grown Westlawn vault where, since his death, regular soldiers have guarded his remains. -At the outset of the movement the trustees drew up a schedule or tne amounts they " thought each state should give. The estimate was based tee of the trustees as a board or award. Of the many who had sub mitted designs four were chosen to en ter with six other leading architects of the country a paid contest. Before the close of 1904, at the beginning or which year the new set of designs had been submitted, itVas announced that H. Van Buren Magonlgle, architect ot the proposed monument to tho sailors of the Maine in New York, had been chosen to erect the McKinley mauso leum. But slight modifications were made !n the design be submitted. There had been a preponderance of plans calling for shafts. Mr. Magonl gle conceived a simple, stately dome. regarded as peculiarly expressive of McKinley's life and achievements, an ert J. Lowry, Georgia; Ell S. Ham mond, Tennessee; Charles Warrea Fairbanks, Indiana; William McCon way and Thomas Dolan, Pennsylva nia; Henry T. Scott, California. James Gary of Indiana, was afterward added. Of the trustees four did not lire to see the monument take shape Marcus A. Charles Henry Nlehaus, sculptor of the statue, also designed the ponder ous bronze doors to the tomb, the lar gest ever cast in a single piece. Tasslng within them, the visitor finds beneath the apex of the simple dome at the heart of the cross the sarcophagi con taining the bodies of President and Mrs. William McKinley. The base of each sarcophagus ia of black Berlin cranlte, antl the sarcophagi them selves are of dark green Windsor gran ite. Outspread beneath the feet are seven varieties of granite and marble black Berlin granite, green marble, black marble, red Champlaln marble, pink and gray Knoxville marble and verde antique.

The trustees organized by the elec tion of Justice William K. Day, presi dent: Marcus A. Hanna. vice presi dent; Myron T. Herrick, treasurer, and Ityerson Ritchie, secretary. A main office was opened in Canton, and other offices elsewhere. Since the resigna tion of Secretary Ritchie arly in 1902 Assistant Secretary Frederic S. Hart- cell has been secretary of the associa tion, with headquarters at Canton. The nation's love for McKinley was shown by the nation's generosity. spontaneous and hearty, In making possible ' a glorious memorial to his name. In October, 1902, the trustees chose the site for the memorial. From Westlawn Cemetery association, and from neighboring property holders a plot of more than a score of acres was bought By the middle of 1903. not two years after McKinley's death. $500,000 had been subscribed. The trastees decided that an endow ment fund of $100,000 was needed to statesman in stone. A contract with the Harrison Gran ite company was entered into In the spring of 1905. The Harrison company sublet the setting of stone and the mar ble for Ihe interior to George W. Maltby & Sons. June 6, 1305, Architect Magonlgle took from the center of the site the first spadeful of earth and placed It carefully In a metal box, to be preserved and placed in the corner stone. In their first great tasks, the accumulation of the fond, the saving of nucleus for the endowment fund yet uncompleted, by careful award of con tracts. In their choice of a suitable de sign, the trustees bad succeeded. New laborers took up their share of the work. Contractors, Incessantly busy, became wrapped up In the task. To build a mausoleum like the McKinley memorial la but a trifle over two years was in some respects almost herculean. The Maltby works In Buffalo were partially destroyed by fire this year.
