A former resident headed the commission hich has lavished unrelenting en- rey on making this stone emblem of \merica’s gratitude worthy of the man whose memory it will perpetuate for Americans always. The president i erson accepted the work in the nig fon’s name. Spread across the wide terraces, the awns and the circling driveways that have been wrought to give the mem. rial building a setting, were thous- nds of Americans and the most dis- tinguished men in this country from foreign lands, came to pay homage at new shrine of democratic liberty. ‘lose in about the rising tiers of arble steps were gathered the men who today hold in their hands the des- tinies of that government “of the people, for the peog’e, and by the »eople,” which Lincoln gave his life maintain, but behind these, over 1 mile wide sweep of the mall, and clear away to the base of Washington monument a mile distant from the memorial were the common folks— from whom Lincoln came, for whont he ceaselessly tolled; and from whont he drew his greatest inspiration. Foremost among the men who gath- ered at this culminating ceremony of Decoration day were the aged vet- erans of the Grand Army of the Re. public, men who at Lincoln's call put aside their implements of husbandry for army uniforms of blue, and set out for battle determined to seal with blood if need be the unity of the Am- erican nation. To these old soldiers who knew him and obeyed him in life was given the place of honor im this last and greatest tribute to the leader under whom they had Served—and with them, as mute testimony to the greatness of th> emancipatcr's vision stood other old and feeble men in the gray of the southern ccnfederacy, also tary attaches and of the marines who guarded and patrolled the pathways through the great throne were the only signs today of martial life except that the officers and men of te British flagship Raleigh, now at Washington navy yard, were mingled with the thousands of democratic pa- triots who stood in a blazing sun to hear the addresses of former Presi dent Taft and President Harding. The speakers’ rostrum was at the head. of the wide stairway leading to the square marble bulk of the memo- rial, in which the huge statute of Tancoin is the only object in a state- ly chamber, roofed with transparent white marble. Below stretched the great crowd, and the amplifiers from the roof of the me- morial carried the words of thé speak- ers far across to the wooded sweeps of lawn on either hand that reach to- ward the monument to Washington in one. direction and looming bulk of the capitol other.
