LEES STATUTE,
Hon, Champ Clark Refers to General
Robert E. Lee in One Of
His Letters.

The following extract from one OF
Hon. Champ Clarks syndicate letters
Twill be OF interest TO the readers Of
the LEDGER:
The ways Of making an ass OF one
lself are so numerous that 1t may be
Isuperliouous to point out one, more or
Hess. The fact that the Legislature of
Virginia has selected the statue Of
General Robert e Lee to be one OF her
two representatives forever in Statu-
larry Hall, the American Valhalla, has
Iafforded occasion for several gentle
men to spring into sudden prominence
by making exhibitions OF themselves.
Among them regret to note my friend
Major John II. Lacey, OF Iowa. Tie
Major is unreservedly against the Lee
jStatute and rushed into print to say
so.
Now, I am too young to have been
in the Civil War. So are a large ma
jority Of American voters, and men
of my generation and Of the younger
generation regard the prominent
actors In that bloody drama as great
historic personages, no matter on
which side they fought.
Within the last four or five years we
have heard vast amount OF talk--a
good deal OF IL gush and twaddle-
about reunited country II 1t is
reunited, neither Major Lacey nor any
body else ought to object to General
Lees statute in Statuary Hall. II it is
not reunited, let us hear no more rot
about it. Certainly II General Fitz-
Hugh Lee and General Joe Wheeler
are fit to wear Uncle Sans uniform
and to be on Uncle Sans retired list
General Robert e. Lee, the courtliest
knight of them all, would not contain
mate the other inmates Of Statuary
Hall by standing In their midst.
Another thing Major Lacey and 9TH
er kickers should remember is this
they have nothing to say about who
shall stand in Statuary Hall-that is,
nothing to say properly, because each
state has right to select two of her
distinguished sons in Statuary Hall,
and nobody mas right to say the state
nay. 1t is a matter exclusively for
the state.
Another thing, the fame Of General
Lee grows day by day. The consensus
of public opinion is that he was one Of
the greatest Of all English speaking
captains. II the American people had
their way, unbiased by cheap John pol
|iticians, they would decree that GEN
eral Grant and General Lee should be
disinterred and reburied side by side
at Arlington. Inter ALA we claim to
be the most generous people on earth.
Let US prove it now. 1t has taken the
English government--not the English
people-250 years to SO far forgive that
immortal rebel, Oliver Cromwell, as to
permit his statue to be erected in Lon
don. That Robert Il. Lees statue will
some day be erected In Washington
there can be no doubt. win we imi-
tate the English example and wait
two centuries and a half? That's
really the question and the only
question.

BOARDS WITH Ex-wIFE.
Such is Story That Comes From Jop-
lin-The Wife Claims to Have
Lived in Mexico, Mo.

tIOLu INC SOphu OlOpt
Mrs. Maud Joy, who recently moved
here from Audrain county, Mo-, has
opened up a private boarding house
on Main street, and one Of her staI
boarders is her ex-husband, from
whom she obtained divorce in 1896
after having lived with him In perfect
contentment for IL long years. 1t is
doubtful If there was ever a parallel
to this strange case.
Mrs. Joy has not seen fit to narrate
her life history or Just what induced
her to remove to Joplin. She stated
very emphatically when approached
on the subject that she considered the
affair of her husband family atfrir. .
In other words, Mrs, Joy declined TO
be interviewed, but she did not deny
that Joy, her former husband, whose
name she still bears, is boarding with
her. 1t seems that so long as Joy re-
mains satisfied and liquidates what
ever debt is incurred by reason Of his
residence in his ex-wife's household
there will still be Joy 70, joyD They
appear to live happily and all seems
serene.
"My husband and l could not agree
and our separation was entirely
mutual" Mrs. joy said to policeman
in an unguarded moment. "He went
up TO Nortonyille, Neb., and lived
nearly year. While he was away l
started boarding house in Mexico,
Mo. When l came here Mr.. Joy came
to board with me-"
There are several other boarders in
Mrs. joys house. Nearly all Of them,
including the erstwhile help meet Of
the landlady, are working in the
mines.
