One may ask with reason why the
percentage OF voters to the total popula.
ton should be the smallest in tho Gulf
States, where intimidation is universal;
should increase in the border States,
whore bulldozing is limited to certain
sections; and should reach its highest
point in the Northern States. where
%bulldozing is unknown. 1t may be said
in attempted reply that there are moro
male adults in proportion to total popu-
laticn in the Northern than the South
ern States. This is so owing to tho
large foreign immigration y majority of
which is composed Of adults, many Of
them not yet naturalized. Males over
Fl constitute a little over 90 per cent. of
the total population of Southern and 20
per cent of that of Northern States.
This, however, modifies but slightly the
figures given above and still leaves it
for Southern bulldozers and their de-
tenders to explain why there should be
twice as many persons to a voter in
Georgia as in lllinois.-Chicago Trib-

From the center of the high ceiling was
swung a canopy Of streamers in the
colors of Maryland and Virginia. The
same colors prevailed in the plush

border of each of the balconies were the
coats of arms of the Confederate states,
while between them hung banners of
plush. In the center of the stage was a
fountain half hidden from view in a

suit of his heroic labors, has been commem.
GRATED in this city by monument in whose
majestic presence no man ever received the
suggestion of thought that did not exalt
humanity. The fame of the other. not yet a
generation old, and won in a cause which wa.
lost, IS already established by that impartia
judgment of foreign nations which antici-
pates the verdict of the next age, upon an
equal pinnacle, and millions of our country
men, present here with US in our thoughts
and echoing back from city and plain and
mountain top the deep and reverent voice OF
this vast multitude, viii this day confirm our
solemn declaration that the monument t.
George Washington has found its only fitting
complement and companion in a monument
to Robert E. Lee.
1t is the recognition in Lee of the principa
elements of high ideal-courage, will. energy,
insight, authority-the organizing mind with
its eagle glance and temperament for com
uaad, broad, based upon fortitude, hopeful
ness, Joy in battle, all exalted by heroic pur-
pose and kindled with the glow of Al uncon-
querable soul; 1t Is, besides and above all, the
unique combination in him of moral strength
with moral beauty; of all that is great in
heroic action with all that is good in common
life, that will make of this pile of stones a sa-
cred shrine dear throughout the coming ages
not to soldiers only, but to all helpers and
friends of mankind"
