Is regarded as our national hall ball of tame fame plans are under way to place many of the statues in the long corridor on the ground floor that runs the entire length of the capitol building instead of being crowded together in a single chamber these statues henceforth will be widely distributed this action has also revived talk of providing a national pantheon a building where there would be
