Lee, it was the original intention of those Inter- ested n placing the statue of the great ander in the statuary hall of the Unitéd States capitol, to have the formal presentation take place on that date. But the adverse ecfiticisims heard in some places will result in a postponement of the date of formal presentation at least to February 2, the birthday of Washington, and perhaps indefinitely. It ls sald to be the wish of the family of Genera] Lee that né formal presentation be extended so long as thers is serious objection to its recep- tion from any quarter. in deference to these objections, the presentation ceremonies shall be postponed efinitely, the effect will be farther reaching than the Lee controversy, for the reason that the state of Virginia s also presenting a magniticent bronse of Wash- ington, and the country will be treated to tho spectacle of a statue of the Father of His Country standing in the statuary hall without formal reception. It would be an unfortunate situasion, but not @ reaily serious one, because the statue is there by law. The formal presentation ceremon- les are but the frills and furbelows, avd have nothing o do with making the pres- ence of the statugs legal. As a Virginia congressman of long service and delib- erate judgment has sald: “‘The statues of Washingion and Lee are there by law, the letter of which bas been compiled Witn, and nothing but u specific act of cungress, of an et Of vandalism can get them out. The law under which these gifts are pre- sented was passed yeats ago, shortly after the wings of the eapitol were bulit and the house vacited whai ls now Statuary hall. In ordor to creats a national vaihalla congresd set apurt this room and provided that each state should be entitied to send thereto the statues of the (wo ueceased persons whom At might select. It will by observed that the chelce rests wich the state itself, and that the only conditions are that the effigles shail represent the dead and thoss ara Aeemed most worthy of the honor.

When the statues are placed in position (hat ends all the necessary formalities. When ‘the one of Father’ Marquette, the Jesuit explorer, wes presented by the state nt Wisconsln, theve was & Strong protest trom anti-Catholle ources because of the presence of the robes of the order and troublo seemed imminent in the house. The senate did its part in formally accepting the statue, but the —acceptance by the house was not asked. This offigy of Mar- quelte stands there now on as sure a fonling as If it had recelved a hundred formal mecoptances, and no one thinks of objecting 1o its presence. When Tee was firsl considered for a plaece in Statuary hall there was some dif- forence of opinjen In Virginla as to the advistbllity of his selection. Jvery ‘one agreed that he was, next to Washington, the best beloved of Virsinfa’s heroes. lut some thought that perhaps the time was Inopportune, and that the matter had bet- ter he deférred. To every one it scemcd to be a procedure warranted by right, hut to' some -1t ‘was" not -considered expedient. At this juncture Senator Martin gave ox- pression 1o the view that every other state had exercised its right in the premises with out let or hindrance, and that If Virginia were to be denied that right; the Virginia which had tigured so conspiesously in the founding of the government, ‘then it was time for its people to know it. 'This seemed 10 volee the general sentiment and the legislature forthwith ordered the cast- ing of the statues. The objections to the acceptance of the statue of General Lee comes from the fact |that he is elad fn the confederate uniform, rather than from objections to the man himself, ‘There are severa! other confed- érate soldiers in the hall, notably MeKenna and Curry, from West Virginia and Ala- bama, respectively, but there was no se- rious objection to them. The prescntation of the staties of Wash- ington and Lee was timely, at least so for that of Washington is concernyd. In recent years, since Illinols sent tho' stotue of Frances E. Willard, the lud‘crousness of the location of the statue of Washington has brought to the ¥ace of the visitor a smilo of amusement rather than a look of veneration. In the first place, Washington was represented by the smallest and most insignificant statue there. BSecondly, with- out malice aforethought, he was placed in & position which gave the effect of his peeping out from behind the skirts of Miss Wiflard itke a bashful boy hiding behind his mother. This little statue of Washington is noth- ing but a plaster of parls replica of the Houdon statue In the Virginia capitol. That it 1s a magnificent likeness is shown by the fact that Jefferson observed that beholding it suddenly gave the effect of Washington himself standing there. The new statue of Washington is also a repiica of the Houdon masterplece, but it Is In bronze, on a befitting pedestal, and makes & splendld appearance, It is sald to have been the ambition of Valentine, the sculptor, tc make as ex- cellent a portrayal of Lee as Houden's statue Is of Weshington. That he has faflled to do so is asserted by many who were acquainted with the dead commander, In speaking of the matter recently a mem- ber of the Virginia delegation in congress stated that the statue could hardly have looked less herolc and less like the gallant commander than it does. To him the poise seems totally unifke that of Les, and one arm appears shorter than the other. Another adverse critfclam came from a eamp of confederate veterans whose mem- bers made a pligrimage to Statuary ball to see the new likeness of their leader. Not one of them thought the statue did Lee full justice. In behalf of the scuiptor it is urged that ne one could expect fully to catch all the | subtle shades of beuring that made Lee| one of the most gallant and commanding | figures ever seen on a fleld of battle. It 18 also sald In defense of the sculptor that lils work in designing the celebrated re- cumbent etaiue of Lee at Lexington, in which the great soldler had gatherod the drapeties of his couch about him, is suf- ficlent assurance that he has come s near @ catohing the noble mein of General Lee a8 it can be done in impassive bronze. Valentine was a follower of Lee, and no man In all the southland was more an- xlous to have the work a fitting memorial. The commission created by the state of Virginia to look after the casting of the statues was composed mainly of young men, but one or two of whom had ever #een Genéral Lee. The author of the bill providing for the work was Don P, Halsey, nephew of Senator John W. Daniel, He and Senator Daniel supervised the placing of the bronzes, which were given con- spicuous places In the hall. With €ach state the sole judge of the statues It presents, including subjects, size and material, there can be little continuity of purpose in the filling of the hall. The result is that some are lite size, and some heroic in proportion, some are on low pedestals and some on high ones, some are made of weathered bronse and others of bright new bronze, some of polished mar- ble and some of unpolished, some exten- sively inscribed and some without exten- than the name of the author stated upon them. In short, it represents a patriptic Jumble of characters, materials and de- signs. Withal, understanding the lack of conformity in the system by which the statues are assembled, the effect is not so incohgruous as it might be. While Robert E. Iee lives In every southern heart as the very personification of everything good that was, Is, and will be sacred to the south, holding a foremost place among the defeated commanders of all history, there are comparatively few monuments to his memory in the south, New Orleans, Charleston, Richmond and Lexington are the places where the prin- cipal monuments of Lee may be found, and of these the recumbent statue over his restng placc at Lexington (s the most famous. If the presentation of the statues of Washington and Lee takes place on the 24 of February, another coincidence of history will relate them. Born in the ad- jacent countics of Westmoriand and Staf- foid, related through the ties of marriage 50 direct that Lee {nherited the home where Washington wooed and won his wife, each led a cause which was sacred to his people. Later Leo became the pres- fdent of the college through th patronage of Washington, and his name was added to the title of the institution. Then Vir- ginia selected them as her most distin- guished sons, not more for their splendid military records than for the great ex- ampies of pure, honorable and 'self-sacri- | ficing manhood which they bequeathed to posterity, Tomorrow—1THE BSPREAD OF VAC- CINATION, New Club House Now Planned by the Omaha Club Annex Ydea Turned Down—Annual Dues Increased and Oificers Chosen for Year. | | In annual meeting Saturday night the |Omana club flatly turned down a proposi- {tion to build an expensive annex to tho { present elub house, with a plan In view to | ercet an entirel |few years.

HONOR SYSTEM AT PRINCETON. Satisfactory. Results Indicated on Its Anniversary. Tomorrow, January 18, is the seventeenth anniversary of the institution of the Honor System of holding examinations at Prince- ton university, and thq mid-year ex- aminations beginping on the Zith of this month will be the elghteenth set held without faculty espionage of any sort. Dur- ing these years there has been no question of the unqualified success of the practice and it is belleved that the very few cases of cheating detected and punished have been practically all that ever took place. “1 pledge my honor as a gentleman that, during this examination, 1 have neither given nor recelved mssistance.’” That pledge, with the signature of the student taking the examination, has taken the place of the old system of hay ing professors keep watch during tests It applles to every examination taken by course, not to entrance taken before matriculation. Princeon men consider themselves under the obildgtion to report any cheating that might come under their observation in an examination. Trial of the accused s held by an undergraduate committee, and & verdiet of gulity results in the offender's having the privilege of withdrawing from the university within twenty-four hours or appealing to the faculty for a review of the decisjon. In 1503, when the system was inaugu- rated, there was a strong sentiment among the students against the mode of con- ducting examinations then prevalling. Not only was the practice of watching to prevent and detect cheating keenly feit, but the shame of the existing state of affairs was oconsidered highly derogatory to the moral standards of the students themselves. The students suggested to the faculty that examination be conducted along lines similar to those in the University of Vir- ginta, and on January 18, 103, the faculty adopted a resolution which recognized the repugnance of the students for cheating and the desire to have the examinations #0 conducted that they would be put on their honor not to cheat. The resolution abolsihed faculty supervision and estab- lished the pledge. Nowadays, If & professor Is In the room during a test, it is only to answer ques- tions that students may want to ask. The men may leave the room and even ths examinations, | butlding, if they wish; their pledge gives them the utmost freedom. The result of the system has been that cheating is far ffom the mind of the man taking an examination. Some violations have been: detected, probably all those which took place, but they have been very few and confined mostly to freshmen who aid not realize the full import of their responsibility and the reproach connected with thelr offense. The Honor System is a Mving ideal held to by each student in Princeton with a zeal that brings It as near to absolute perfection as such a system can be brought. KEducational Notes.
