A Tribute to "Joe" Wheeler.
In speaking Of tho proposal to erect Q
monument to General Joe Wheeler III

. The propriety OF such movement as
/ That which ID proposed Is unuuestioned
IN the days Of the Southern Confederacy,
General Wheeler devoted his best abilities
TO the cause In which he fervently belev-
! ed. When that cause was lost, he did
not sulk in his tent. but promptly and
gracefully bowed to the inevitable; and in
after years tho Union had no moro loyal
/ supporter than he. Any objection that n
| memorial to him, erected exclusively by
former Confederatos, would serve to keep
| awe feelings which might better be al
| lowed to die, Is probably beside the uues-
| ton. Tho time will come, and that Mt no
distant day, when the whole united coun-
try VIII do itself the honor OF perpetuating
IN material form the memory OF that
sturdy warrior, who was possessed Of
mind sufficiently great to enable him to
love and fight for n flag which formerly
he mad opposed with all his might"
Tliat is generous tribute from New
England newspaper to n Confederate hero,

than necessary emphasis upon the fact
that after the war was over General
Wheeler did not "sulls in his tent but

Robert Edward Lee

Is this the man whom late his foes did
A Rebel! Or some hero newly found?
Was he the Traitor gloating DER its fall. /
Or patriot weeping at his country'a

Why should he now be worshiped as a
god,
If ho was such an ono as they described
A foe to country and his country's good
I. To be denounced, degraded and decried,
Did he not fight for Freedom. Home and
Law,
Or did he wage war for spite and
Did he rob. pillage fill the nav
Of Greed and Avarlce with hate and

Go ask the heroes of hundred fields;
Go ask the foes who felt his mighty
power:
Go ask the youth he taught what virtue
yields,
And hear the answer in the self-same

Wherever Honor, Truth and Virtue dwell,
AND give their need of praises the

Whatever glory, worth and valor tell,
