PAY FOR PATRIOTS,

The Cuban soldiers who saw service In
that country think--or at least say--that
they are entitled to receive pay ct the
rate Of one dollar per day, ana con-
gressional committee has accepted their
view of the question: but 1t seems that
the finances of the country will not allow
cny such compensation.
The Cuban army was a curious one
mad.a so perhaps by the necessities Of
the situation. Not having a regular and
reliable commlssarat the men often
broke ranks and scattered in order to
provide for themselves. Sometimes they
quartered themselves upon an unwilling
and terrorized people; sometimes they
returned for he time being 10 their own
homes,
Calling the roll and answering 1t was
a very informal thing In that army. and
I.lent the books of which show the exact
attendance of officers and men day By
day Still they kent up a warfare, de-
sultory and uncertain. 1t is true, but
continuous, which finally resulted in the
United States government interfering
and which, through the American army.
eventually accomplished the independ-
ence OF the country.
That there We're many true patriots
and brave men in the Cuban army we do

It Is a short, chunky vehicle. covered
with an arch Of canvas and having q
close body, which is built upon and into

remove the tail-board, loose the har-
ness, and raise the shafts, and out the
load goes. But usually the driver takes
out the horse, drops the shafts to the
ground, and stands between them and
In that position sells his load, whether
1t be watermelons, canteloupes, or sweet
potatoes Having disposed Of his stock,
he bitches up his horse, mounts the
shafts, seats himself upon the forepart

troll in a commission created by the red
cral Congress. Then he would have IN
most autocratic body ever dreamed OIL
in the American Republic, a body that
would have it absolutely within It's pow
er TO control the great business interests
of the United States and to destroy them
at will. We do not say That 1t would
exercise It's power, but 1t would have the
power, and It would be q. dangerous pow
err for any body OF men to have.
But laying that aside. What sort Oh
liberty would there be In the business
world IL there we're national commission
having absolute authority to say to THIS
business concern and that that it should
not sell its goods under a certain price?
Suppose 1t should be all right to apply
this to the trusts, how should he deter
mine which corporations were trusts and
which were not? And IL the rule applied
to one corporation. why not to all, and IT
1t applied to corporations, why not TO
individuals? And mind you, this com
mission would be the creation OF the
National Congress and the representative

But again If a citizen could go be-
fore this high and mighty commission ana
prevent a trust from underselling nm,
could not the trust go before the commits
sion and prevent citizen from UNDER
selling 1t? And could not one big cor
pora ton prevent another big corporation
from cutting rates? We see that citizens
of Richmond are asking for franchlse
to operate a competing electric light
plant in this city, and that If it goes into
business it will undersell the old COM
pany. But under Mr.. Royals plan the
old company could 90 before the National
Corporation Commission and prevent It
Mr.. Royal assails the trusts on the
ground that they destroy competition, yet
he would set up In place Of the private
corporations great government trust
which would prohibit competition. If we
are going into any such business as that,
better let the government take control
of everything and appoint Car.

LEE AS A PATRIOT.

A writer In the Outlook says:
mo one desires to substract in the least
from the tribute of praise due to the
memory of General Robert E. Lee for his
many noble qualities. But If we are to
preserve at all the meaning OF words, or
keep clear those distinctions which give
words their moral value. it does not seem
to me hat We can rightly call General
Lee a patriot
"webster's International Dictionary
gives as the sole definition Of patriot
'one who loves his country and zealously
supports its authority and interests In
the hour OF his country's sorest need
General Lie gave his love and his jealous
support to his foes, and strove to over
throw its authority and interests.<
What nonsense! General Leo loved
his country and zealously supported its
authority and interests" He fought for it
and suffered for 1t, and sacrificed his
every interest for it. and would have
laid down his life for it, If that sacrifice
had been required.
But his country was Virginia. Virginia
formed a part Of the United States, and
the United States was in sense General
Lees country so long as Virginia remain
ed in the Union. But when Virginia left
the Union, as under the Constitution she
had the right to do, General Lee went
with her. What else could he have done?
Right or wrong. Virginia was his State,
his country, and he stood by her like the
true patriot that he was.
when the Federal Constitution was
framed and adopted" said Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams, Of Boston, In recent
address, What was treason-to what or
to whom, In case Of final issue, did the
average citizen owe allegiance? Was
It to the Union or to his State? AS a
practical question. seeing things as they
then were. I do not think the answer
admits Of doubt. If put in 177s or. indeed,
at any time antedating 1926, the imme.
diate reply OF nine men out of ten In the
Northern States, and nlnety-nine out OF
hundred in the Southern States. would
have been that as between the Union and
the Safe, ultimate allegiance was due
to the State" And again: rAs read the
record and understand the real facts Of
that now forgotten social and political
existence, in case of direct and insoluble
issue between sovereign State anu soy.
ercign nation, between 177S and 1861, every
man was not only free to decide, but had
to decide for himself: and whichever wa,
| he decided he was right The Constitution
| gave him two masters. Both he could moi
serve; and the average man decided
which to serve in the light of sentiment
tradition and environments. OF this l fee
as historically confident as ! can feel Of
any fact not a matter of absolute record
or susceptible Of demonstratlon.''
General Lee had TO decide which was
| his country, the United States or Virginia
In which he was born and reared, and
to which he had sworn his undylng allie
glance. OF course. he decided for hIf
mother State and he decided right, and hi
