We have long been aware Of the absolute
necessity Of On intef- continental railroad.

to maintain the Monroe doctrine we must
prepare ourselves inseSesy possible manner
to do so. Absolutely sn6i argument is need
ed to this end. Our Ability alone to defend
this dogma will save It. England has al
ways repudiated 1t, and so has Germany.
Both these nations would destroy it in any
way they could wore we less powerful than
we are. Germany seems determined to ac-
quire foothold on this hemisphere. Once
she does so then other European powers
will follow suit. and then everything will be
ACQUIRED by them In 2 short time. and we
will be menaced.
All knowledge is transmitted experience.
II we allow this matter to pass without its
lesson then when the crisis arrives we need
not lament; 1t will be too late. This same
thing will come up again In q worse form on
some future occasion. Besides going to
work to build ships Of war we should have
railroad system to transport troops to
any part OF the continent independent of
water transportation. This would give US
tremendous advantage in war with any
invading force on this hemisphere, and
would be equivalent to doubling the number
OF our war vessels.

A Mischievous Scheme.
the Editor Of The Evening start


1t Is indeed very unfortunate for the poor
ignorant people Of the south that Senator
Hanna allowed his name to be used in con-
nection with the bill offered by request IN
the Senate. His name will cost many a
poor man in the south his last hard-earned
dollar. These schemers have their head
quarters here in Washington. They will
send these bills with Senator Hanna's name
attached broadcast through the south. One
cannot make these poor people believe that
Senator Hanna's name would be there II
they were not going to get pension. These
sharks then follow up these bills with their
certificate of membership. which cost 81 to
sign. They then tell these people that these
Certificates will be forwarded to Washing
ton and their pension will follow at once l
attended some of the meetings Of these
sharks myself last summer In Virginia; ;
heard them tell the people as soon as Con-
9ress met they would get their pension.
Many poor fellow paid in his dollar. l
told them they would see their dollars no
more All Of these agents are what are
known as Jack leg preachers" and ought
to be punished for defrauding these poor
people. J. r. HAhRlS.

To tho Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Is the fame of General Lee the kind of
fame this great nation should perpetuate
by permitting his statue to have place
with Lincoln and the greater Americans?
Greatness consists in purity Of character
and grand achievement.
Do Lees life and deeds show these char
acteristics in a marked degree? Born as
he was of noble lineage, gifted and highly
educated he was for many years much es-
teemed by the nation he afterward by all
his abilities endeavored to destroy. His
love Of the Union. the obligations. OF his
oath and allegiance to country. before God.
the awful sacrifices of life and treasure on
both sides. the sundering of family ties and
the sorrows and deprivations Of the whole
people must have been, before him, as q
soldier as he considered the course he
would take, ere he decided to rebel.
Notwithstanding all these and the future
of his country, he discarded his oath and
moral obligations to the nation because of
his greater love for his native state Can
we believe that such was his only inspiring
motive? Even If we do his course stamps
him as unworthy of place in the hall of
fame. No doubt he was able man aud
would be Justly considered great but for his

convictions Of such persons. The Commits.
sioners referred the matter to Major syl.
vester, the superintendent of police, who
has submitted to them a report In which
he says that the act Of Congress approved
March 8, 1899. making appropriations for
the expense Of the District government. EN-
powered the Commissioners to commission
the tra1nmen in the employ OF this COM
pany as special policemen: but as there is q
probability that some of the arrests would
be questioned. he suggests as precaution-
airy measure that the corporation counsel
be requested to give his opinion in the mat
ter, and on one point in particular, namely.
il the act authorizes arrests for breaches Of
the peace as well as depredations on PROB
erty. Major Sylvester suggests that IL the
power to arrest Is bestowed upon the train
men they be given printed instructions as

project stands now where our first Pacific
