Get back that lost 4 IIEODORE ROOSEVELT'S memory will lo visually kept fresh In the minds of future generations hy the most Imposing fountain on earth nt the National Capital, If the plans of the Roosevelt Memorial assoelatlon are carried out. These plans have been submitted to the Sixty-nintcongress, which will pass upon the question of site, upon the plans and upon the whole proposition. What follows concerning the proposed Roosevelt Memorial is in no sense whatever nrgumentlve or controversial. The writer carries no brief for or against the Roosevelt Memorial or for or against the proposed site In Washington. Tho purpose of (Ids article is wholly Informative. Washington was laid out by President George Washington and Major LEnfaut. Their street plan made the Capitol Its center. The city Is divided Into four sections N. K S. E., S. W. and N. W. by three streets (North Capitol, East Capitol and South Capitol) and The Mall. Tho Mall is a long park that extends west from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial on the bank of tbe Potomac, The White House stands Just north of The Mull. Its corner stone was laid In 1792 by Washington. It was the first public building to be erected. John Adams was the first President to live in It, taking possession in 1SOO. A popular niovemeht to erect n memorial to George Washington began before Ids deatli and be was requested to pick out tiie site, lie chose the best a spot In t he center of The Mall .opposite the White House grounds, about two-thirof the distance between the Cui itol and the site of t he Lincoln Memorial. This Washington Memorial . was originally Intended to lu an equestrian statue. It ended up ' ns the Washington Monument, completed in ISSt. The Lincoln Memorial, of recent construction. Is nt the west end of The Mall, on the east hank of the Potomac river. It is on a slight eminence. Is surrounded by an open area, and Is of Impressive size and beauty. Here will begin the $10,000,000 Memorial P.rldge across the Potomac which will carry a magnificent highway extending from the Capitol to Arlington National Cemetery and its Amphitheater and tomb of the Unknown Soldier." Looking at the picture given herewith to nid the reader to visualize the scene, It will he soon that George Washington displayed nil his traditional efficiency in picking out the site of the Washington Monument. Today, looking from the windows of the pyramidion of the obelisk, r17 feet nhove the ground, here Is in brief what the observer sees In the foreground of a twenty-milcircle: Pacing north, he sees close nt hand, beginning where The Mull leaves off, the grounds of the executive mansion and the White House Itself. Facing east, he looks along The Mall for a mile and a half to the Capitol a view which gives tiie correct understanding of the size and proportions of that truly magnificent structure. Fucing west, he looks along The Mall to the Lincoln Memorial, Hourly a mile away on the Potomac. Pacing south, the observer sees a group of government buildings n little to the right. Ills gaze goes past them to the Tidal P.usin in Potomac Park, the Potomac and the Virginia shore beyond. view from tiie Washington Now, this bird's-eyMonument of its Immediate surroundings Immediately makes evident to the discriminating observer two things of manifest Importance In connection with the tentative selection of the Tidal Basin as the site for the proposed Roosevelt Memorial : One is that the one remaining site for an important imposing memorial Is In the Tidal Basin or Its Immediate vicinity. The other Is that such Importune and imposing memorial erected In the Tldul Bun will If for no other reason than Its location take rank with the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The discriminating observer will therefore draw the conclusion that should the Roosevelt Memorial of Mosoecetlcacldeater JCOQKzzy& ifrc&rjicRZc'iTair ar be of civic righteousness and the square deal, of na tlonal defense and natlanal unity and the helping hand across the sea. Is always America. A son of the North and the South, of the East, by birth, of the West by adoption, knowing no harriers of race or creed or class, at home In every state, among friends amid all manner of men through the confusing details of a multifarious life rises clearly and powerfully the living, radiating spirit of his Americanism. It Is to Roosevelt tho American, exemplar of patMotrt devotion, that this design is dedicated: not to exalt an Individual but to recall the basic American principles which that individual upheld and defended. erected in the Tidal Basin future generations of observers will naturally assume that the Great Three" of American history are Wash-lngfoLincoln and Roosevelt. The Tidal Basin has been selected by tiie Roosevelt Memorial association as the site of Its proposed Roosevelt Memorial. The Sixty-eightcongress gave permission to the association to use this site ns the basis of a competition nmong lending American and architects, sculptors landscape engineers. A Jury passed upon seventeen designs and made selection In October of 192. of a design by John Russell Pope which has now been submitted to congress. James R, Garfield, president of the Roosevelt Memorial association, gives out the following description of tiie proposed memorial and tiie reason for selecting the Tidal Basin as Its site: - h of Apparently there is considerable difference opinion in Washington and elsewhere regarding the Roosevelt Memorial. There is no opposition, of course, to the erection in the Capital of a memorial to Roosevelt. The difference of opinion Is in regard to the site and the plan proposed by the Roosevelt. Memorial association. The New York Times, for example, in telling of the submission of these plans to congress, says bethey will bring to an Issue the controversy the and President dead of the tween the friends That newspaper Roosevelt Memorial association. goes on to say : The Art commission, many members of congress and President Coolidge feel that the memorial should be placed near Rock Creek Park, at the gateway to Washington, and serve to accentuate Roosevelts life in outdoor life and Ills activity in developing Rock Creek Park. Now that the design has been submitted to congress tiie location will be decided. footTiie arrangement by which the Army-Navball game of 192(5 Is to be played In Chicago moves the Washington Star to say editorially: At the center of an Island of white granite, set a circular body of water, flanked by majesilo colonnades, a living shaft of water rises with prodigious powor two hundred feet. From the base of the fountain symbolical ships carry the message of Uoosevelt's life to the four points of the compass. Tho Island from which the fountain rises Is 2S0 feet In diameter, the basin, 600 feet; from the center of one colonnade to the center of the other Is 800 feet; the colonnades themselves are each' 670 feet long and 60 feet high. The "column of. water Is forced upward by a modern automatic electrical power pump, and Is entirely Independent of the Washington water supply. The water Is from the lotomac river entering the Tidal Basin on the west, passing through the ponds to east and west of the central feature of the plan and cleansing the .Washington channel through tidal In gates. the Park Commission plan ns best harmonizing with the general architectural scheme of Wash- ington. In selecting this site, after close examination of numerous other ltesand frequent consultations with members of the National Commission of the Fine Arts, the Roosevelt Memorial association was Influenced hy the knowledge of.. President Uoosevelt's part In the creation of the'T'a'Vk'Tloniin.s-slo- n plan of 1901, hy tils unswerving support of It, and hy Ills insistence that each new element of into the city should beauty or utilitywithIntroduced it. In Inviting the architects be in harmony and sculptors of the country, with the consent of congress, to use this site as the basis of their designs, it was the purpose of the association that the creation of the memorial to the statesman who the L'Knfant plan, revitalized and should result In the development of one of Its but major portions. hitherto undeveloped Is required. and the Capital A great stadium lacks such an equipment. toIt has been proposed Theodore Roosevelt, that tho national memorial should take the form to be located in this city, in Potomac park. . . . of a great stadium, located defiNow an opportunity Is offered to supply this of a memorial stadium ciency by the erection which will meet two requirements, to commemorate the services of Theodore Roosevelt suitably public and to give .Washington a place for large important competitions, a truly naga'herings and field Those who are promoting the tional athletic Roosevelt memorial might well consider this plan Roosevelt's character and as more appropriate to services to the nation than more expressive of his' architectural creation of no merely ornamental destructive of utility and, as now contemplated, one of the beauty spots of the Capital. Just whnt congress has this to say: Roosevelt was a son of the South as well as the North: and his memorial has been designed to be. In a sense, a gateway between the two sections. The curving colonnades, set to east and went, offer no obstruction to the eye looking southward from The memorial, the White House Into Virginia. therefore, commemorates not Roosevelt only, but of the broach between the also that final closing sections, when the son of a Northern father and a Southern mother became President of a "more perfect union. But that living column rising out of Potomac waters has a wider and more profound significance. Roosevelt's spirit sprang out of the deep sources of his nation's history and sank back Into them only to rise anew, cleansing the air and inspiring hts countrymen with Its power, its sparkle.

The Impression seems to be, however, that if congress grunts the site lu the Tidal Basin It will he asked to provide funds for tbe construction of the granite Island in that basin.
