THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE.

IT is taken as almost an assured fact
in political circles in Washington tina;
VIM. j. Bryan will be the next Dem
ocratio nominee for the Presidency
OF course Washington between SEES
sions is not the best place in the
world to gain political impressions
aside from the party in power. But
that seems to be the way opinion is
now pointing. Mr.. Bryan's last state
ment as to his attitude toward Govern.
ment control of railroads was very
popular one largely because it put
MIN closely in line with President
Roosevelt, who is looked upon as the
greatest exponent OF corporation
curbing so if Mr.. Bryan is the nomi-
nee. the lines of distinction be-
tween the parties to far as their at
titude toward corporations is con-
cerned win be very slight dndeed.
There is another story going the
rounds, so remarkable that it can be
given only under the caption of rim
portant if true" It is that the atti-
tude OF the Administration toward Mr..
Bryan has changed nightly, and that
he is looked upon by the administra-
tion as the next best thing to a Roose-
welt Republican, for it must be under
stood that Republicans these days
are chiefly divided into Roosevelt and
anti-Roosevelt factions. The rumor
goes thai Mr.. Bryan is being held in
reserve. as a last card, and that If the
choice Of the President for the nomi-
nation is beaten and confessed cor.
poration man is nominated, that the
influence of the President viii be
thrown toward Mr.. Bryan, not obstru-
siyely, but at the same time effective
ly as he will be considered the less
er of two evils. Additional reason is
assigned for this report from the fact
that it is not believed that Mr.. Roose-
welt will take the nomination again
under any circumstances and he
thinks that the chances for his win.
ming If nominated in 1912 would be
greater against a Democrat than
against Republican. This is a rather
sensational story for anybody to swal-
low But the hot weather is coming
on when we will have all sorts OF
rumors, and we might just as we'll
get in on the ground floor and take
the liveliest ones while they are
hot.

NOTABLE TRIBUTE
searchligtt of Modern Biography
Had Failed to Find Flaw in
Lees Character.

MARTINSvILLE, VA. January TO-
Lees birthday was fttingly observed
here to-day. The exercises were held
at the Presbyterian Church, under the
auspices Of Mildred Lee Chapter. U. d.
c., OF NIartinsville. Judge =. w.
Saunders delivered the address, which
for appropriateness of sentiment and
beauty OF language deserves place
among tho. Virginia classics.
Judge Saunders. whilst placing Lee
among the great captains OF the world.
dwelt more upon the grandeur and
beauty of his character than upon
his military achievements. He declared
that Lee was unique In this-that.
though modern biography had shattered
SO many. idols and laid bare the faults
men of former days. yet it had found no
flaw in the character of Lee. He com-
pared Lee to Gustavus Adolphus. and
which Virginia had ever given to the
nation. He spoke especially of has
magnanimity and purity OF life, and of
the tributes paid him by men of other
countries. Judge Saunders was intro
duced by John w. Carter, ESQ. of
Martlnsvllle.
Mr.. B. A.. Rives read Lees farewell
address to his soldiers. Mary Cabell
Smith recited The Con federate States"
in excellent style. The exercises were
opened with prayer by Rev. j. A
Spencer and appropriate music was
furnished by special choir.

as this was due largely to the scarcity
of men and the failure OF subordlnates.
and the same plan was used at the bat
tie Of Sadoua, three years later, prov
ing eminently successful.
In 1864 Lee confronted General Grants
splendidly- equipped army Of 275,oo0 men,
backed by resources OF continent, with
$1,000 ragged, half starved, badly-armed
and equipped veterans. In spite OF this
ne outgeneraled and defeated Grant in
every battle In that campaign from the
Wilderness to Petersburg. from the
Rapidan to the lines in front of Rich
mond, compelling him to camp before
Petersburg and remain idle for several
months. The contest against over
towering disadvantages Is an everlasting
monument to the skill of Lee and to the
courage OF the troops. However. the
hammering process must necessarily have
prevailed, and Lee. to avoid useless loss
of life. was forced to surrender April
9, 1864, at Appomattox Courthouse. 1t
Is a curious fact that Lee won all bat
Ties which he fought with the excep-
ton of Sharpsburg and Gettysburg
(neither of which were decisive victories
OF the Federals), yet lost the cause.
Lost. yet not lost, for IN spite OF inc
victory OF the North, still all that was
best. all that was truest, Of the patriot
ism and chivalry for which Lee drew
sword, still remains IN our dear South
land; and the rights OF the individual
States are now clearly defined, and limit
the power OF the republic as never be-
fore. And the Stars and Bars, our flag
although no longer waved on high, still
lives, enshrined in every true South
erner's heart.
For though conquered, they adore it,
Love the cold dead hands that bore 1t,
Weep for those that fell before 1t ]"
we know that the surrender cost Cen
eral Lee great pain, for when thinking
OF 1t he exclaimed to another oihcer:
How easily could get rid OF all this
and be at rest! ! have only 20 ride
along the lines and all will be over.
But" he added, st is our duty to live.
for what will become of the women and
children OF the South II We are not here
to support and protect them?" The Pol
lowing. in his own handwriting. was
found after his death among some papers
In his old army satchel:
GLORIOUS his fate. and enyied is his lot.
Who FOR his country fights and for her
dies"
But this privilege. granted to 50 many
of his brave comrades. was denied him;
he lived to suffer defeat and disap-
pointment. to endure the dark days OF
the reconstruction period of anarchy and
misrule. General Grant lessened by his
consideration the pain caused Lee by
defeat; the men We're allowed to go to
their homes on honorable terms, and
Lee was not deprived of his sword, the
soldiers greatest treasure.
For the first time in forty years Lee
was now private citizen. 1t is entirely
in keeping with his character that he
would not leave the country, as several
prominent men Of the Confederacy did,
but remained to be of service to his
State. He was offered number of po-
sitions with high salaries, but refused
these. The Legislature OF Virginia d.
