Genera. Lee In the Hall OF Fame.

There cannot be much sympathy for
the Judges who selected the name Of
Robert l.. Lee for the American Hall
If Fame. Its arguments that his name
is not worthy place there are not

per at the close Of the 10Th century.
X attempts 10 show that because Cen
eral Lee resigned his commission in
the United States army and joined the
ranks of secession, he forfeited all
claim to the honor which is being paid
his memory. We believe that most
panple. in the North as Well as in the
South. Union veterans as Well as eX
Conf-deratrS. will differ with the Sun
ana agree that Lees name should he
placed with Grants in the Hall of
Fame. The object Of this structure y

the fame OF the greatest Americans

of the greatest soldiers the country or
tha world have ever known? The fact
that 1t. led the forces Of secession and
not those Of Union does not matter in
this instance. He was a great Ameii-
can: he did his duty as h. saw il. and
did il as perhaps no other living man

and skillful general, chivalrous and

American people. 1t is not dignitied
nor patriotic nor becoming for the sun
to attempt to arouse sectional animos-

fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief" and SO putting the public
OH a false scent.
There is a certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to man i'll con-
sultation about disease. Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
70 write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clanior of write to a woman "
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not a
doctor. and therefore not competent to
