The law of 1864, which provided for a statuary hnll In the Capitol, gave each state the privilege of honoring two of its noted citizens with places in this national collection. Since there are 48 states in the Union, the number, therefore, may reach a maximum of 90. As a matter of fact, the addition of the Stephens statue brings the number there now(up to only 53, but already the crowding is becoming evident. Those Installed to date form a complete circle, closely spaced around the walls of the hall, with several standing out fn front ft those against the wall. The main corridor extending from the senate wing of the Capitol to the house wing passes through the center of Statuary Hall and, al though there, still Is some open space near the center, tbe placing of more statues would give the chamber a crowded appearance Indeed. While the situation has not yet become acute. It may soon become so, for at least five more states are said to be preparing to fill their niches. However? officials in charge of the Capitol have been discussing the problem and expect to have a solution ready when the need shall arise. One suggestion Is that the statues be extended along the corridors running north and south from the not provide enough space. hnll, but even this-ma- y Another proposal Is to make use of the crypt of chamber beneath the Capitol, a large vault-lik- e the hnll Itself and one of the oldest portions of the building. If this Is done, it will be necessary i to redecorate the crypt and install an adequate lighting system. In Installing the statue of Alexander Stephens, the stnte of Georgia has filled her allotment of two niches. A year ago It filled the first one and honored the medical profession by presenting to the nation a statue of Dr. Crawford Williamson Long, a country doctor, who Is declared by many nuthorlties to have discovered the value of anesthesia In surgical operations as a preventative of pain, nlthough his claim to that honor Is disputed.. The other man for whom It is claimed also Is honored In Statuary Hall. Massachusetts having erected there a statue of William T. G Morton, a dentist of Boston. The statue of Stephens, carved by Gutzon Bortfi'um from Georgia marble. Is a fine memorial to ii mnn who was not only the most distinguished Georgian of his. time but who was also a national figure. lie was born February II, 1812 at Crawfordville. Ga., and was graduated from the University of Georgia In 1832. Physically frail but mentally a giant, he soon made himself known as a member of the general assembly when In the summer of 1830 he made an tmpnssloned speech In favor of the building by the state ol the Western and Atlantic railroad, which Is today state-owneproperty and a source of great revenue to Georgia. On November 14. 1SG0, he made another memorable speech at the state cnpitol at Milledgevllle when the Georgians were considering the question of whether or not their state should secede from I he Union. Stephens made an eloquent plea for a solemn consideration of such a momentous stop before it was taken and stated that he was not then for secession. Other counsels, however. prevailed and Georgia did leave the Union. Aml when the Confederate States of America were organized this man. who had opposed secession, wus elected vice president and served In that position throughout the war, although his con slant effor was to bring about a reconciliation between the North and the South. Arrested at the close of the war and Itnprls oned for five months, he was released in October. 1S65. and returned to Georgia, where new honors awaited him. He was elected to the United States sennte In 1866. hut was not seated. Later In 1S73. there was no object ios to his taking s seat In the lower house of congress as the rep- ' resentative of a Georgia district, and he served there until 1882, when he was elected governot of Georgia.

Calhoun, senator and vice president of the United States, and she Is planning to give the other place to Wade Hampton, soldier and statesman. He was a distinguished cavalry leader, during the war, governor of his state from 1876 to 1878, and later a senator. From Mississippi, authorities at the Capitol are expecting to receive some time In the future statues of Jefferson Davis, an officer In the Mexican war, secretary of war and president of the Confederacy, and J. Z. George, a former senator from Mississippi. Kentucky has taken preliminary steps toward filling Its two niches. Contrary to what might be expected, Daniel Boone will not occupy one of them. Instead they will be filled by Henry Clay, the great statesman, and Dr. Ephriam McDowell, who won fame as a surgeon. North Carolina has filled only one of Its niches and that with a statue of Zebulon B. Vance, soldier and statesman. A number of other states, northern, middle western and western, have not yet made their decisions In this matter, but at least two have recently chosen their representatives for this honor. California has selected Rev. Thomas Starr King, minister, lecturer and author, and Father The Juuipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary. uext statue to be unveiled In Statuary Hall probSenator ably will be Wisconsins contribution Robert M. LaFollette, who died In 1925 after a long public career. His statue Is now being completed In Paris by the famous sculptor, Jo David son, and may be put in place this year. It will, show the famous orator of tbe senate in a seated pose. Incidentally the only other seated Statues In Statuary Hall are that of Robert Fulton (one of Pennsylvanias notables) and the recently dedi cated Stephens statue. The legislation creating a national statuary hall in what bad been the old hall of the house of representatives, grew out of a suggestion made as early as 1854 by Gouverner Kemble, a former member of the house from New But no action on the matter was taken until ten years later when Representative Morrill of Vermont offered a resolution providing for such a hall. and another New Englander, Representative Rice of Maine, reported It from Joint committee. In support of his resolution Morrill had said: The expansion of our country from the old thirteen to thlrty-ei- x states Imposed upon us the burden as well aa the privilege of building and extending a structure for the accommodation of the legislative branches of the government, and appropriate for the caplto) of the fo aost republic of the world. This work Is now at roachlng com, therepletion. It appears t me eminently pi fore. that this house should take the Initiative In with reverent affection the old hall setting apart of the house of representatives, so charged with to some precious memories, purpose of usefulness and dignity To what end more useful ot grand, and at the same time simple and Inexpensive, can we devote It than to ordain that It shall be set apart for the reception of such statuary as each state shall elect to be deserving of this lasting commemoration? Will not all the states with generous emulation proudly respond and thus furnish a new evidence that the Union will clasp and hold forever all Its Jewels the glories of the past, civil, mllltaiv and Judicial in one hallowed spot where thosv who will be here to sld fn carrying on the government may dally receive fresh Inspirations and new Incentives? This was n time when patriotic feeling ran high and congress quickly passed the resolution. s For this chamber where the lower house of met for 40 history-makinyears was par- - THQMA3 'JZFT&HQzr 61 . . -- con-rres- g tlcularly appropriate as ' In the words of Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society: Here Lincoln, John Quincy Adams, Horace Greeley and Andrew Johnson served In the same congress. Here Henry Clay welcomed Lafayette, who replied In a speech said to have been written by Here John Marshall administered the oath Clay. of office to Madison and Monroe. When, In 1825. the house balloted In this room for President, John Quincy Adams won over Andrew Jackson. The former, the only man to bs elected to the bouse after being President, was stricken with paralysis suddenly. In this chamber, after delivering an impassioned address; tbs latter, while President, narrowly escaped an assassin upon leaving this room, where he had attended the funeral of a congressional friend. a memorial ball. A bronze star marks the location of Adams desk. The star happens also to denote a spot where one may hear the whisper of a friend who stands in the corresponding position on the opposite side of the hall. Move away from the spot and the speaker's voice falls to carry, even when he speaks loudly,. Closed to visitors now is the narrow gallery of the old house, reached by dark, tortuous steps, worn deep by the tread of many feet. In this gallery Dickens gleaned notes for his comments on . Americas congress. He called Washington a city of magnificent intentions." Close your eyes and see John Randolph stalk In, with squirrel cap and homespun suit, white boots-anJingling spurs; he has Just galloped through muddy streets from Georgetown. Throwing cap . and coat to his desk, he drinks a glass of porter handed him by an attendant and cuts in on any debate. In thin, querulous, piping voice. Here an other type of orator, Edward Everett. JUstrout of the pulpit, charmed his hearers. For some years religious services were held In the old hall of representatives on Sunday after- -' noons: Lincoln attended them during the war period, when the hall was crowded because many churches had been converted Into barracks The floor of this room was raised to Its present level when the hall was converted Into an American Westminster abbey. Tradition has It that the lower level of the old floor led to the popular designation of the house of representatives as the lower house. It Is interesting to note that despite the patrl-- . otic impulse which created Statuary Hall, the responses of the states to the invitation to honor 'ffielr distinguished citizens were not as prompt as might have been expected. Rhode Island was the first to respond by sending statues of Its founder. Roger Williams, and its hero of the Revolution. Nathaniel Greene. However, after tbe lapse of 19 years from the time of the erection of the first statue, but IS statues were to be found In the hall and even after more than 30 years there were At that time but 21 monuments In position. (1895) the display was so small that it was ' thought hardly sufficient to give the large space allotted a proper dignity as a collection of statuary. In order to make the barren appearance less noticeable, other statues, such as those of Jefferson, Hamilton, Baker and Lincoln, a plaster statue of Washington and busts of Lincoln, Pulaski and Crawford, were exhibited there. Since that time, however, the states have responded with more alacrity to the opportunity. To Illinois goes the honor of being the first to honor a woman Frances E. Willard and to Oklahoma the first to honor a real American Sequoyah, the Inventor of the Cherokee alphabet Soldiers, statesmen, ministers, pioneer and others whose services to their states have been great have been Immortalized there and tbe renewal of' tnterest in Statuary Hall, which seems now apparent. Is In 1928 likely to give the place as tnacta, of statues as It bad an undar--1 of an supply a third of a century ago. j Kos-ciuszk- o, over-suppl- y |
