|| Monuments We are accumulating some monuments in this country tiat is, places that were the scenes of our history making. And with time we will accumulate more of them,and there should be some system for preserving them—future generations will remember us more kindly, France has what is called the Commission of National His- toric Monuments. Its function is entirely sentimental rather than material. It restores and preserves all buildings that have had to ‘de with the history of France. For instance, no private purchaser of a chateau can make changes or build additions to it without first submitting plans to this body for approval. ; This French commission is made up for the most part of architects who have made a special study of periods or historic styles of architecture. ~ We are about ready for such a commission in this country. © Some of the best of our historic monuments have only een preserved thru the patriotic efforts of individual citizens. Some of the best examples of our splendid colonial archi- tecture, even public structures, have been ruined by ill- edvised changes and additions. The home and tomb of George Washington was only faved by the efforts of one woman, Miss Ann Pamela Cun ningham, of South Carolina. For 50 years after the death of General Washington the ; rephe was owned and occupied by John A, Washington, a ny e w of the father of our country. : land grew poor and keeping up the house and frounds became a profitless responsibility. The house became unsafe. John Washington offered the property to the government @nd then to the state of Virginia, but both offers were declined. Miss Cunningham organized the Mt. Vernon Ladies’ As- " sociation of the Union that paid $200,000 for the house and " grounds in 1859 and a large additional sum was expended in yestoration. This organization now holds title to the buildings and 200,000 acres of land around them, and it is made up of a _ representative woman from each state in the union. x An average of 13,000 persons visit Mt. Vernon per month. ' An admission fee of 25 tents, together with the income _ from endowment funds, not only pays for the upkeep, but Bs» i The restoration of the mansion indicates a close and in- elligent study of the manner of building and landscape gar- of its time—even to the care and way of trimming of th pride in some of his correspondence. it they can be replaced in exact duplicate if destroyed A any cause. A Nationa! Commission of Historic Monuments, if one is established in this country, can well take pattern from organization that has extended Mt. Vernon into all time. Hiteheock’s remark that all the lawless elements in * eccmescee = ‘The Star: Your paper quoted Mayor Fitzgerald's disapproval aliens being kept on the city payroll while exeervice men are out of I heartily agree with him, for the soldier has sure been hit hard. I experience. are some of us who may lose our homes because we went to prove that the old U. 8, stood for justice while these same slackers stayed here on a good fat salary and bought and paid men overseas were told that they were exempt from taxation in the service, but on coming home they found they were only ‘exempted temporarily; they had six months in which to pay up all back taxes with 5 per cent added. i How, under heaven, can a man coming home after two years'’s service, | practically penniless, with a family to feed and educate, living expenses as are—ever save up the hundred or so dollars accumulated taxes nd interest on his little home in six months or even a year? Some well-meaning sou! (I forgot who) did try to get to either pay thelr service men’s taxes or remit them, but I notice no one @lse got very enthusiastic over it. Again, some time ago some patriotic (7) soul waxed indignant thru the eolumns of an afternoon paper because the soldiers were working in their uniforms. He said it was not fitting that the uniform be so dis Sraced, more especially since the government had given the men $60 bonus Wwhich would provide civilian clothes, Well, yes, it would wry for them, ‘Dut many a soldier brought his $60 home to try and recuperdte the health Of a wornout little wife, who had struggied to keep the family and home “going on the government allowance which was far too small at present Prices and had lost her own health thereby and some had to pay the _Gemandq of tradesmen who hadn't been able to sue hirn while overs but Who inéisted on his money ‘nas soon as the soldier sect foot in his own home town. I say all honor to the man who put on a pair of overalls over his beloved uniform and went out to work to supply the ot bis family. an Some of our lawmakers are very anxious for the “boys” to organize 0 support the laws of the land and that’s alright, too, but when thoes boys set out to support or enforce laws they will see first that the laws le are just and worthy of support. In the same edition of your paper ‘was an offer by a U. 8. aviator to assist Senator Lamping in his campaign for governor (should he run) and I’m hoping Lamping enters the race, for Just as sure as he does h» will be elected (by soldier votes) and then the Doys will get a square deal. We do not begrudge our services to our coun- try, but because we did our best to save this land we ought to have our Own little 50-foot lots free of debt and taxation ONE OF THEM There is no question but that many of the matters com plained of deserve the censure of the soldiers. That they should have been given an extension of time on taxes and other payments which their absence caused to become de- linquent, goes without saying. That they should have been be needs undebatable. And it will be the soldiers who, in the last analysis, must see that so-called “patriots” who refused to ive them even the small measure of relief afforded in the ‘a mping bill, shall go justly rebuked at the polls in the next elections. Before the war, we heard very little of morale. since the war we see very little of it. And D VANCE COOKE 7 Quite a few days ago, as it might be inferred, ‘ A man was erected. “Erected” ‘s the word!
