THE iron fence about the Andre monument
has been replaced and the monument is soon
to be carefully restored. Why mott And
why not even finer monument to Benedict
Arnoldf 1t is the tendency of the times to
canonize dead men who were disloyal during
the country's supreme struggle against trail
tors in arms and rebellion Of awful proportions.
Men who were hated and despised by the SOL
diers Of the Union are to have their memories
perpetuated in marble and bronze, and the
tolerance that keeps gentlemen from de-
nouncing the infamous memory of such
individuals has been interpreted by their
champions to be an Endorsement Of their
lives. The self-respect that seals the mouth
of men in the presence of the dead has been
misinterpreted, though scarcely misunder-
stood. Time, however, will make all things
right. History has it's relentless grip on such
characters, and monuments as high as mount
aims will not bury the fact that these men
were willfully disloyal to their country in the
hour of its peril. The shafts that mark
the resting place Of men like Lincoln,
and Morton, and Grant may be
dwarfed in the shadow of overtowering monu-
ments to the men who were hostile to them
during the war; but the eyes of future genera
tons will find on historys page that the for
mer were patriots, the latter traitors, or sneaks
too contemplate to be outspoken in their
sympathies for rebellion and disunion. It is
mistake to attempt monuments that will
cover the public sins of these men. Enough
material could not be quarried from the Rocky
mountains by million men in million years.
