Legislation proposing similar appropriations have already been Introduced In the United States, Cuba and several other countries and the first step, that of holding a competition In which the lending architects of the world have been Invited to submit designs, toward realization of the memorial project already has been taken. No one will deny the appropriateness of thla form of a memorial to one of the most famous Buvlgntors of all time, and most Americans will applaud the Idea of thus honoring once more the man whose courage In facing the terrors of the 'unknown set him pon that voyage which mnrks the beginning of American history. From our school days the story of Columbus has been a familiar one to us all and his name stands out In our memory as one of the great figures In the history of our nation. It should be remembered, however, that the discovery of America was not a strictly Individual proposition and It does not detract any from the fume of Columbus to give proper credit to others who were concerned In It. When a final reckoning of credit due Is made, outstanding among the nnmes of those who were associated with the Genoese sailor In his great undertaking Is the name of a Spanish queen to whom America owes a debt of gratitude which has but scantily been repaid. For had It not been for Isabella of Castile, royal consort of Ferdinand of Aragon and queen of Spain, the voyage of Christopher Columbus might never hare been undertaken.' To most of us. depending npon our school histories for our Information about events times. Ferdinand and Isabella of those far-of- f are little more than mere names and. except for Jhelr association with the name of Columbus, are but dim and shadowy figures In the pageant of Amerlrar history. We know that after failing to Interest the ruler of Portugal In his nuihltlous project to find a short route to the wealth of the Indies by sailing westward over the Atlantic. Columbus determined to lay ht$ case before the rulers of Spain. To sn American historian. Washington Irving, we are Indebted for a clear pen picture of these two monarchs. and especially of Queen Isabella, who were destined to have such an Important role in the history of our nation, fn Ids "Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus' Irving n e, e writes : ' The time when Columbus thus sought h!s fortunes st the court of Spain coincided with one of the most brilliant periods of the Spanish monarchy The union of the kingdoms of Araaon and Castile by the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, bad consolidated the Christian power In the peninsula, and put an end to those internal feuds whch had so Ion distracted the country, and Insured the The whole force of domlnatior of the Moslems united Spain wae now everted in the chivalrous Moorish the conquest The Moors enterprise of who had once spread over the whole country like an inundattnn. were now pent up within the moun-taiboundaries of the kingdom of Granada Th victorious armies of Ferdinand and Isabella were continually advancing, and pressing this Berce people within narrower limits Cnder these sovkingdoms of Spain beereigns the various petty gan to feel and art as one nsron, and to rise to eminence in arts as well as arms Ferdinand and not Isabella, it has been remarked. lived together unlike man and wife, whose estates are common, s der the orders or the husband, but like two strictly allied They had separate claims to kingdoms: sovereignty, in virtue of their respective often distant they had separate councils and were , eir.p-teof their in different parts from each other Tet they were the roxal authority each .xeri-isui- g so happily united by common views, common Interests. and a great deference for each other, that this double administration never prevented a unity of purpose and of action All acts of sovereignty n mon-areh- b-- sj. pa t.

He had threo objects at heart from the commencement of hla telgn, which he pursued with bigoted and persecuting seal: the conquest of the Moors, the expulsion of the Jews, and the establishment of the Inquisition lo his dominions. Contemporary writers hava been enthusiastic In thslr descriptions of Isabella, but ttine has sanctioned their eulogies. She la one of the purest and most beautiful characters In the pages of history. She wae well formed, of the middle else, with great dignity and gracefulness of deportment, and a mingled gravity and sweetnev of demeanor. Her complexion was fair; her hair auburn, inclining to red; her eyes were of a clear blue, with a benign expression, and there waa a singular modesty In her countenance, gracing, aa It did. a wonderful flrmnesa of purpose and earnestness of spirit Though strongly attached to her husband and studious of his tame, yet she always maintained her distinct rights as an allied prince She exceeded him in beauty, in personal d gulty. In acuteness of genius, and in grandeur of soul. Combining the active and resolute qualities of man with the softer charities of woman she mingled In the warlike councils of her husband, engaged personally In his enterprises, and In some instances surpassed him In the firmness and intrepidity of her measures: while, being Inspired with a truer Idea a more tofly and generous of glory, she intus-temper into his subtle and calculating policy.
