It will be even more familiar on the latter after July 1 of this year when the new smaller-alzecurrency goes into circulation and the Washington portrait appears uim the bills. Not a day passes that tils name does not appear In our newspapers many times, for the capital of the nation, from which so much important news comes, hears his name. And there is not a state In tbe Union which doea not have either a county, township, city, toun or village, or a. street or avenue In one of tbe latter three, bearing the name of Washington. One of the forty-eigh- t states bears his name, and he la the only President who has that distinction. The annual celebration of bis birthday Is one of tbe holidays In the American calendar which are legal holidays throughout the nation, and only one other President shurea that distinction with him. Thousands of Americans hear Ills name as their two given names. In fact, so common was thla practice In the early days of tbe Republic that it called forth a quaint and vigorous protest from tbe editor of one of the first newspapers published west of tbe Mississippi. Writing In tbe Missouri Intelligencer at Franklin, Mo In the Issue of April 29, 1823, the editor said: Thla la tha Christian nama of of the maaculine Inhabitanta of tha United States. This name waa dear to every American when it conveyed the Idya of the father of freemen, but now it serves no other purpose then that of one part of mankind from the other. made a very packhorse. Every It is universally thinks it the greatest tribute of stupid blockhead respect be can possibly pay to the memory of the hero to call a son. negro or a grog-sho- p by the same name. It is a practice scandalously common for publicans to paint tha likeness of the hero on a board, hang It up to the vulgar to gase at aa at a monkey, and to beguile silly travelera to become their gaests. who Judge of what la In hours by the sign. What has the father of liberty done that hia name shouldto thus be concontempt? signed to infamy and his likeness Aside from tbe everyday reminders of tbe name and fame of George Washington, there are many other ways In which his memory Is preserved. While there may be more statues of Lincoln erected in various places throughout the United States, Washington has been honored thus more' in foreign countries. The Latin American republics have not only memorialized him in bronze and stone, but Simon Bolivar is known quite as much as the "Washington of South America as be Is "The Liberator, and Mexico had a Benito Juarez, whom history calls the So there Is a special "Washington of Mexico. element of appropriateness la the fact that in th Colonia Juarez In the capital of Mexico there should stand a statue of George Washington. In this country the outstanding memorial to Washington Is the famous obelisk which dominates the skylin,. of our national capital. The Washington monument originally was Intended as a tomb for the first President. The proposal to erect the monument as a tomb was made by a congressional committee, which launched the project immediately after Washingtons death. Permission to remov. the body from Its burial place at Mount' Vernon was refused by the gen erals brother. Charles Custis, a leader In the movement, pro posed an earthen pyramid as a memorial. His plan was to have all soldiers who had served under Washington go to the capital, each depositing a shovelful of earth In a designated spot. The appeal proved popular and was seriously considered until it was pointed out mathematrcally that before the memorial could be near completed the Revolutionary veterans would be dead. As late as 1S3C, after congress and committees d one-doll- one-eigh- th th' . filbert Stuart l;. ,.r . Lit. i . Vi , Washington Statue in Mexico City at least this large would be required to provide such as architects recommend. With the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of Washington's birth approaching a movement Is now under way to have a suitable base con structed in time to make its completion a part of the celebration. A site wa8 given by congress several years ago to the George Washington Memorial association for the specific purpose of erecting the kind of memorial It had proposed to build and endow. The cornerstone was laid by President Harding; since them foundations have been completed and paid for through the efforts of the association.' Th-si- te is at Seventh and B streets, where once stood the old Pennsylvania railroad station. In a public meeting Chief Justice Taft urged that the whole nation should contribute to the project, width he described as one of grout national utility The main feature of the building wilt he a vast auditorium with a seating capacity of from 7,000 to 11,000 people. Besides this. It will have several smaller auditoriums of varying capacity for conferences, lectures and reunions. Each state In the Union and each territory or colony would have a room In the building which will belong to It In perpetuity. When completed the memorial will be under ttie government of th" Smithsonian institution. One of the features of the great auditorium will be the finest organ that can be built concerts free to the public will be given on Sunday afternoons and also on other occasions In a word, the memorial win be a people's a bnse ; building. Although there are many statues of Washing ton in various of the United States the latest addition to the number being the beautiful equestrian statue which was unveiled In recent months and now stands before WashlDgton'8 bend quarters at Morristown, N. J. two are perhaps the best known of them all. One stands on the steps of the subtreasury building In Wall street In New York city and the other stands In the rotunda of the state capltol at Richmond, Va. The latter the work of the famous French sculptor, Houdon. is of special interest because tt is acknowledged to be the most exact likeness of Washington In existence. Art connoiseurs place its value at a million dollars. ; that , hud quibbled and argued tor fifty years without any action, tbe plun for a scries of pyramided temples was proposed. It was this plan thut hud been agreed upon when John Marshall, then eighty years old. headed a national society, members contributing 31 each toward the momrmenL But not until July 4, ISIS, was the cornerstone actually laid. By that time the plans hnd been revised until the present shaft was agreed upon, although a Greclun temple to be erected around the base was still part of .he builders conception. After the shaft had been raised to 154 feet, the Civil war came and construction was halted and was not resumed until 18S0 under the auspices of congress. The capstone, weighing 13,000 pounds and pointed with aluminum, 555 feet from the ground, finally was set in place In 1SS4. Yet, with all Its majestic 555 feet of height, the Washington monument Is not yet finished. It has a noble head but no proper feet The fine shaft lacks a base to match. Architects have pointed out that sound proportions call for, not a mound of greensward, but a massive and stately marble terrace. The monument Itself cost $,1S7,710, and a sum The portraits f Washington are so numerous description of Ahem ail and the story of how they were painted would fit! a volume. But of ail the painters who made portraits of Washington, there Is none to whom more Interest attaches than the famous Rhode Islander, Gilbert Stuart, whose renown Is so closely linked with the name of Washington. It was Stuart who painted the Washington portrait (shown above) which appears on our two-cestamps and which Is so familiar to all Americans. I low Stuart became the most famous of ail Washington portrait painters was told In an nrtiele which appeared In the Kansas City Star during the celebration of the cenelennry of Stuarts death last year as follows: For many years Stuart had had In the bark tt his mind plan for palntln George Washington, lie didn't know precisely how he waa going to realise thla ambition, but ho never let the thought of ft die away. So when he landed In New York In 179 he began to make arrangement to hnv th famous revolutionary leader sit for him. It waa not until two years later, however, that he succeeded in this purpose. While congress was In aesaion In Philadelphia Stuart went there with a letter of Introduction to Washington from John Jay. He met the Prealdent at a public reception and was greeted by Washington with "dignified urbanity." Washington had heard of tha painter and did not require the letter of Introduction. He said he would he pleased to put himself at the disposal of Stuart at such a time aa the latter's arrangements and his own public duties would permit. A aeries of sittings soon was arranged and Washington presented himself with his customary punctuality. The first sitting proved unsstlefactory. It largely was Stuart's fault. For the first time In He nervous. Jestwho had his career he became ed with kings and played pranks upon his famous In was unnerved the presence of teacher, Weat, this great man. It always had been a custom with him to draw out the suhjecta true personality the course of conversation while painting. But Washington's manner precluded any possibility of such a method resulting successfully. Although not austere, he was calm and not communicative. Tbe hard line of his face, produced by those yenrs of etrife, had not yet softened Into a genial expression sufficient for Stuart's aim. However, Stuart went to work with nervous energy and painted a portrait showing the r'cht s'de of the face. Afterward he destroyed it. declaring it unsuccessful. But he msde copies of It. the best known of wh'ch is th portrait now In the Metropolitan museum. a New York. At the second sitting Stuart executed portrait snowing the left side of the Th's painting Is in the Lansdowne collection in ' fr y "Gibbs-Chamtim- h London. But the best of ait was the result of a tiil-- d sitting. It la said Washington rebelled against thi Ihird portrait, but yielded to his wifes entreaties. Another account la that Stunrt waa intentionnllv late on the afternoon of this sitting In the hope of getting a show of displeasure on the roun- tenance of the punctual President He wanted of the rough vigor he always lilted in pur- men he 0 loved to paint trat of strong-wille- d The resulting portrait, known ns ths "Athenaeum head," showing the left side of the face. the on now so widely s epted as a faithful likeness of the great man. Mark Twain once said If Geers' Washington should in facetious mood: rise from the dead and rnouM not resemble th Stuart portrait he would be denounced aa an Ira postor!" The original hangs In the Boston Mufoi seum of Fine Arts. But Stuart, with an business, made fifty copies of It. So today, any ar; nama can boast its collection worthy of the Stuart portrait of Washington was finished canvas never This, "Athenaeum" Stuart It Is sS'd. had promised to present thit it was completed portrait to the family when was so pleased with It and found the bua'nesi of making replicas so profitable that he intentionally left the costume unfinished, although the fact When Mr. Curtis, father of Mrs was perfect. Washington, made s trip to Boston to remlnf Stuart of his promise, the srtist merely showef him the canvas and said: "But you see, my deal sir, that It is not finished." And It never was Stuarts failure to finish Washingtons coat alsr may be explained by the fact that he never cared to spend much time on backgrounds. Hia Interest copy the works ol alwava centered on the face. Uod. he declared, "and leave clothes to tailors and mantua makers."
