LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Chisholm. Jan. 15. 1901

Editor The Advertiser:
 T would appreciate it if you would call attention in The Advertiser to the poor car service the Traction Com- pany gives to the laboring class living on the Pickett Springs line. l have been circulating d petition uo have the cars leave Pickett Springs at b:30 a. m., since have to be at the postoffice not later than 6 o'clock and found many people out here on whom the present schedule works great incon- Venience.
 -TThe first car. under present sched- ule, leaves Pickett Springs at 6:1S a. m, arriving at Court Square at 6;42, and the majority of the working peo- pie have to be at their work before this time One man said he reached his work from ten to Twenty minutes late every morning. and he didn't know what would be done to him it things didn't change. Two others had been forced to hire horses and buggieE 10 take them in. and three more. not counting myself, will have to find some other way of going in than the street car. One says he Is going to buy a team if he can't get In any earlier on the cars.
 q found this many people thus in convenienced, in the short while I was circulating the petition this morning I had no Idea there were so many, but there must be many more, as there are A great many I have not seen. These men are all white men. Anything that VOL can do for us citizens out here towards ameliorating our condition will be appreciated

SATURDAY, ANUARY 10, 1907.
SPEAKING oF sHAHs.

The Kansas City Journal treats with somewhat of levity the recent sad event in Persia. saying that when the eyes and breathed his last, the first thing those who watched about the royal couch did was to rush to the door of the imperial hareu and leck and seal it. In this way the 800 be- reaved widows of his defunct high ness wore made acquainted with their less. and 800 lonely hearts ached mournfuiiy because their lord and master would come no more. Inci- dentaliy these widows were penned up like a flock of hens, awaiting the disposition of State.
 It is but natural that public sym pathy should go out to the family of one who gave such generous hosts to fortune as Muzzafar- Ed Din. and dis tress in the present instance is all the more poignant because the husband less regiment must eat out its 800 hearts in a solitude. No matter how anxious friend of the family might
 
 to each of these 800 widows, he will find his way blocked by lock and seal. And to add to the infinite pa thos of the situation, these widows will not be permitted to file past the rosewood and remark on the natural appearance of the lifeless visage. Nor will they be allowed to go down to
 
 melancholy delights of trying on mourning gowng and draping fetch ing and becoming weeds over theif back hair. And there will be no life insurance to brighten the early days of widowhood and pay for a new mat for the front door with Welcome in significant letters interwoven across 1t.
 What will become of this desolate host of languishing ex-wives? In other days of .Persia's enlightenment each sad-eyed widow would be bound and thrown on the dead monarch's funeral pyre or buried alive in a com mon domestic grave. But that hap py and simple solution of the problem is out of-the question just now. The successor to the lamented Muzzafar- lEd-Din, being his son, will probably have no affair of royal inheritance more vexing than, the wailing harem What can he do with this numerical matrimonial legacy? One of the chief perquisites of the shah business Is the organization of an uptodate harem, and this left over cast-off and shop worn outfit will have to be disposed of to make room for the Florodora bou- quet that he has probably already picked out In his visits to Paris and London. Ali Mohammed Mirza, who comes to the throne. is only thirty years old. and his taste In wives may be wholly different from the ancient Persian standard. At any rate. 1t is only reasonable that he demand all the spare rooms in the palace for tn, suspicious beginning of his life work of making enemies and developing 6 harem. Then where will the weeping widows go? Pitiless echo answers 'Where?"

The Portland Oregonian declares that "the pernicious doctrine of State sov- eFeignty takes a long time to die" Yes. 1t takes as long as the equally "pernicious doctrine" of constitutional government and when the one dies the other will be a corpse. The Oregonan has gone wild of late. As Festus said to Paul. Paul, thou are beside myself; much learning hath made thee mad" The Oregonian is an innuen- tial and well-edited newspaper. Or dinarily 1t is fair and conservative, but it's morbid anxiety to uphold the President and all his acts and policies has made it one of the most rancorous imperialists in the country. Appar- entity it would not hesitate at the abro- gation of all State lines and the mak- ing of the general government the absolute controlling power in all reS speets. It is useless to argue the question with 1t, of course. for Anews paper that will refer to the theory of State sovereignty as a "pernicious doc trins" is beyond the reach of argu- ment.

To Honor Robert K. Lee.
Washington Herald.

The hundredth anniversary of the birth of great American will be ap- propriately celebrated next Saturday
 s eaP the G5 naon tss rRSDS ana Mo aGd men of all sections and of all political beliefs will join in doing honor to the memory of Robert p. Lee. Men who the cannon's mouth and men who faced his indomitable legions and fought them through mists and seas of blood spect for Lee and respect for one an- other. The spectacle will be one of the most unique in the history of this mighty race. It will tv fly our na-
 More than forty years have passed since Lee surrendered his sword to Grant. Tens of thousands of the men who were clutched in fratricidal strife and bloody war in modern history are now alive. They all belong to the same country, are equally proud of the country, are equal sharers of defense of the nations honor as the other, should that honor be attacked. Were Robert E. Lee alive today, his country is one and indivisible, that the wild passions that lashed his country men to war were calmed and conquer ed. and that the mad dream which
 
 ago and drenched a continent in blood has been dispelled by an awakening to condition whose reality is one of the amazing wonders in all the histo- ry of mankind.
 Lees fame is secure amoae that Of the great captains of the race. His is a world figure. He foresaw the in- evitable end of the mad adventure of 1861. But for very love of his people he hazarded his all. The infinite pa- thos of his career after the fires of civil war were kindled must touch responsive chord in the heart and mind of every honorable man. In his character were combined the finest and gentlest elements that constitute the best there is in American citizen- ship. No consideration of self-inter- est spurred his mind or warped his soul. When his cause was lost and his half-starved. half-clothed armies ways of peace under the protection of a reunited country, Lee devoted him. self with singleness of purpose tp the reconciliation of the people he loved to the institutions of the country he loved.
 Next Saturday Boston will join Charleston in doing honor to the mem- ory of this man of singularly pure life and of great deeds. From ocean to ocean his name will be spoken with respect Tn Washington there will be a commingling of men of might and fame who will sing Lees praises In no other nation, among no other peo- ple, could such a commemoration be held The event will be profoundly impressive and uplifting.

Beloved above all men by the South, honored by all who can appreciate the best in human na- ture. the name of Robert Edward Lee will go down to future times as model of all that is great in peace or war. The people of all sections honor themselves when they honor the memory of Lee. And we believe with The Outlook that "the time is not dis tant when in every place where the statues of heroes are placed for re- membrances and inspiration the figure of Robert E.
