ROBERT EDWARD LEE

He was a foe without hate, a friend withouttreachery, soldier without cruelty, a victor with out oppression, and victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices, pri- vate citizen without wrong, a neigh bor without reproach, a Christian without hypocrisy, and Q man without guile. He was a Caesar without his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny, Napoleon without his seltishness, and Washington without his reward. He was obedient to autho- rityas a servant, and loyalin au- thority as a .tsne king. He was as gentle as woman in thought, Eatchful as a Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law as Soc rates, and grand in battle as Achilles. .~Benjamin H. Hill.

 We are sorry to say that in our openion it is adviseable not to print a letter received from a friend in Jackson County this weeks Much as we disl Ike t dis appoint our friend, yet we are at present in no mood to undertake denominational controversya and we fear the letter might bring | ibout one. In our opinion, de nominations, cults and creeds are not the essential of christi l inity, but by their fruits, ye shall know christians. attire is the poorest index to the man. If clothes made the man. then a l Jude with high standing cane l ind a gold Eeaded collar and not , grain of brain. would be the ! ideal man. Soit is with a christ ! ian. It is not the denominational
 clothing with which a man may ! decorate himself. but the daily fife is the only true index to any
 mans qualities.

e =- HAPPINESS

An exchange says Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any conditions. It .deies yenvi- ronment, comes from within; it is the revelation of the depths of the inner life, as light and heat proclaim theszheat from which they radiates Happiness consists not of having, but of eing; not of possessing, but of enjoying. It is the warm glow of heart at peace with itself. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness; it is the aroma of life lived in harmony with high ideals. For what a man has, he may be dc pendent on others; what he is, rests with him alone. What he obtains in life is but acquisition; {; what he attains is growth. Hap piness is the souls joy in the possession of the intangible.

That is the Unanimous Opinion Of Contractors and Operators

yze the Building Business Cases in Point

The strained relations between local
employers and the unions continue to-
day, and the outcome is something that
the public will have TO wait to ascer-
tain. The contractors and the archi-
tects stand together in condemning the
hodcarriers' union and the other labor
organizations that are sympathizlng
with them and agree that the only
thing to do is to stop work until mat
ters can be adjusted. The name OF Carl
Findeisen sub-contractor at the feder-
nj building, was not authorized in the
list Of contractors published this morn
ing and there are number Of promi-
nent contracting operators like the
George Romney Lumber company, who
are not in any way involved In the
movement. Contractor George Curley
ut the Holmes terrace calls attention TO
the fact that his hodcarriera have been
asking 81 per day, when the same men,
he says. would work for the city 10
hours for sl55. Mr.. Curley is paying
81 per day. He states that the highest
wages have been paid all round. and
that there has been no complaint about
wages or hours. Consequently he fails
