WHILE THE ORLD AGS. By B. Mcßee. Gutzon Borglum says that if the Stone Mountain Confederate memo rial project is ever completed it will be by himself, because no other sculp tor can go ahead with it and do a creditable piece of work. There is sense in this, just as there was noth ing but nonsense in the action of the memorial association when it took offense at some of the antics of Bor glum’s temperament’, fired him from his partially completed job and em ployed another artist to carry out Borglum’s conception and dream. Works of art are not accomplished that way. One artist cannot com plete a painting or a piece of sculp ture that was begun by another. He' might botch it to completion, but he can’t do it well. Poems and books are not written, nor orations delivered, in that way. If an orator should col lapse in the midst of a great effort no other orator could finish it, say ing what the striken one would have said and in the way in which he would have said it. There are in stances in literature in which others have attempted to finish the uncom pleted poems or books of authors who died in harness. None ever turned out satisfactorily. * * * But when the Stone Mountain me morial is completed, regardless of who does the work, t will not do as much good as it wou.d were it design ed differently. As it stands today it de picts a number of famous men, great v a riors, mounted on fifine horses, a stern, heroic group. Behind them, s retching back over the brow of the granite mountain, will be a line of soldiers, fine, strapping young fel lows, with courage, determination, a sense of patriotism depicted in their attitude and bearing. All, officers and men, tipify the ideal, the pride of the Confederacy. Nothing is shown to picture war as war really is, nothing to make the spectator shud der at the thought of war, but rather to'make the young idea, just learning to shoot, want to emulate those brave fellows so as, perhaps, one day to have his picture in marble and his name engrossed among the “immor tals” in the Hall of Fame. If we could have WAR—real, gen uine war —depicted on the face of our great granite mountain, and not merely a group of clean, emaculately uniformed war heroes with well groomed chargers, the picture would do much good for the world. For ex ample, why not chisel out a poor, rag g'd, emaciated, pain-distorted fig ure, lying mangled and bleeding, ap pealing piteously for a cup of water that he can’t get; near him another J'er boy—some mother’s son —dis- emboweled by a hand grenade that had been hurled, or a shell that had been fired, by some other mother’s son. A third figure in the group might be a dead boy, with his head and half of his breast shot away. There’s no limit to the human “ma terial” that might be worked into a sculptured picture such as this, typ ical of ’.-.’hat results after tv/o kings have a falling out and issue a call to the colors in the name of patriot ism. The picture would be incmoplete without a field hospital scene, and without a line of broken ex-service rmn, r.rms and legs missing; faces shnt away; eyes sightless; chests r nken by the ravages of gas-caused tuberculosis. Shell-shocked raving r. aniacs, incurables, should have a p ace somewhere in the picture, be c use they. too, represent war much rwre truthfully than do bespangled uniforms and Sam Brown belts and glistening spurs. Also there should boa typical war-time fireside scene, with the mother reading a telegram; there should be ruined homes and fields and villages; there should be s valor and starvation shown, and l Iwpes along with she blasted ‘t- . ■ mt’hen. wheel chairs, artificial limbs, row after row . ..'Pers, it’s- all in the . . r ime -f war—the game that is s' yi’d by rulers but played by vic ti’ .'■.,l subjects. Some means should be devised by the artist, tco, to work into the pic t're the armor plate industry; the gun and sword and khaki and shoe and banket and bandage manufac turers; the chemists who are paid f- r combining elements to make ex plosives and poisons and gases more powerful, more deadly, more devilish ihs-n those used by the enemy; the money-lenders and the profiteers who fatten on war. That all belongs in a faithful portrayal of war, a picture suggestive of “’■W price glory.’’ * ♦ ♦ Such a picture on the face of Stone Mountain would be good for our boys and girls to look at; but it would be hard to raise money to pay for hav ing such a picture carved.
