The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1907-01-30


" When we look at the life of
Robert E. Lee we can put it into
three circles. The circle that in
cludes. himself only. The circle
that cludes Others. The circle
that N still wider and includes
God. Indeed every mans life can
bee measured that way.
Our relations as individuals,
our relations as public servants
and our relations as men of God
cover every association we may
have. Looking at the character of
Robert +. Lee as a man we find
many outstanding features. AS a
young man he was industrious and
made an effort to excel in every
thing he undertook. Going to
West Point on an appointment Sc
cured for him by General Andrew
Jackson, he made record of
which he could always be proud.
Y6hng Lee received not single
dehisrit. 1t is said also that he
performed his duties with wonder
ful puntuality, he contracted not
vice or even an unsavory habit.
At the end of the four years
course he was able to prove his
ability and diligence by gradual
inc second in his class. This high
standing gave him an appointment
as second lieutenant of engineers
in the United States Army.
1t is often thought by young
mel that record at college never
means much anyway. After you
are graduated you can settle down
ano do what you ought to, but
previous to that time, you might
: as well enjoy yourself. But in
collegt one lays the foundation for
his after life and you can almost
tell what kind of man the boy
will make.
PROMISE OF FUTURE GREATNESS.
Robert f. Lee in very early
life gave promise of future
greatness. 1t is conjectured that
he would have succeeded well
as a minister. He seems to have
had IA personality that was itself a
rebuke to vice. While a guest at
friends house the host. a dissi-
pated youth, came to his room and,
without word said to encourage
such conversation, he confessed
his faults and promised to do bet
ter.
1t is indeed a remarkable fact
that a man as young as he was
then should have carried with him
so much virtue that without any
intention on his part those who
were inclined to do wrong should
be kept in straight paths by his
very presence.
X little later in life another
great characteristic that was al
ways prominent afterward made
itself manifest. | refer to his great
modesty. The virtue showed itself
first when he was appointed an in
structor at West Point in 1899.
NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT.
This position Lee was not will
ling to accept because he consid-
cred himself unfit to fill it we'll.
When some time after this, in
1852. he was elected superintend-
ent of West Point he again sought
to DECLINE. His modesty was so

great that he would not consider
an appointment that was so i'm
portant to the National Govern
ment. But this time his superiors
overcame his modesty and he was
forced to accept the position to
which he had been called.
Another incident illustrating
his mOdesty is found in the history
of the years after the war closed.
Many business concerns were
anxious to elect him their presi-
dent. Many organizations offered
him positions with large salaries in
connection, but the only position
he considered was the humble one
as president of Washington Col
lege.
COLLEGE BUT LITTLE KNOWN.
The college was small and lit
tie known to many people. There
was very little distinction to be
acquired from an association with
an institution that was poor and
struggling, As its head he would
have small opportunity to accept
the favors and rewards that people
were ready to shower upon him.
THE only question in his mind
as to his acceptance of an honor
that was almost empty was his
competency to fulfill the trust. In
dustry, fidelity and modesty: these
three gems shine in his personal
life and although there were others
| mention them because they are
of so great worth. Many of his
personal characteristics are shown
in his relations with men, SO let us
enter this large circle and see what
sort of neighbor and friend Robert
+. Lee was.
THE GENERALS FAMILY CIRCLE.
The most important circle in
any mans life and the nearest to
him is his family. Here he is
known the best. If he can't be a
Christian in his own home. his
religion doesn't amount to
much. We find General Lee a
devoted father and faithful hus-
band. His children loved to hear
his step upon the great porch of
Arlington. They loved to receive
his letters when he was away in
some great military campaign.
And those letters express the ten
der feeling the man had for his
children.
Many of them begin with such
endearing terms as My precious
daughter Read them as they are
given to the public in the work of
his son and you will see that no
man could have taken greater in
terest in his family than did this
man.
CHILDREN EVER NEAR HIS HEART.
" They were ever upon his heart
and often in the night before a
battle prayed for Gods protec-
ton upon his loved ones.
That tenderness which mani
tested itself in his relation to his
family he displayed again in his
love for animals. On one occasion
near Petersburg, after having
warned some soldiers who had ven
tured into danger on account of
their enthusiasm for him, he ex-
posed himself to the enemy's fire

THE ROLLS WERE CLOSED.
Costly Suits May Arise Because Tel.

promptly important official messages,
twelve Indian babies are out Of land

Commissioner Tams Bixby wired the
names Of twelve new born babes for

The tribal rolls closed at midnight
after which no more names could be
added. The twelve kilograms reached
Washington before that hour. but
were not delivered at the government
Offices until next morning. 1t was too
late then.
The commissioner was prepared to
take evidence and up 10 the last mo-
ment many names were wired to the
departent, the latest OF which were
sent from here at $3.50 on the night
OF March 4. Duplicate messages were
sent in each case to A. f. McGarr

OF the interior over the Western Union

MAY CLEAR THEIR SKIRTS.
Insurance Cases May Be Dropped
Against Several Companies.

1t is stated by the attorneys for the
state that the injunction suit COM
menced against the insurance trust
may be dropped as to certain COM
ceeded in making a showing which
convinces the attorney general that
they are not using the Efdridge rating
book, or any other form of uniform
premium making. --. -
The Milwaukee Mechanics Fire In
surance company has succeeded in
making a strong showing in it's own
defense. and other companies are
said to be likely to get away without
a lawsuit.
What the insurance companies most
fear in the pending suits is the
threatened receivership, which the at
torney general says he will clap down
upon them in case they continue to
fix their rates according to the
Eldridge books, or any other system
of uniform rate making. The insur-
ance companies have seen the dis
astrous effects of receiverShips as ap-
piled to the brewing companies. and
they have no desire to attempt to
buck" this game. The threat of the
attorney general to throw the COM
went into effect as soon as the in
junction was granted. He asked in
his injunction petition that receivers
be appointed in case the injunction
should be violated, ana TINS applleS 10
business now being written. Under
the order of the court, the companies
are supposed to be cut loose from the
rating books even at the present time.
The superintendent of insurance.
Charles w. Barnes, is also receiving
many letters from insurance COM
panies. Most of the companies simply
acknowledge the receipt of the papers
in the case, but some of the concerns
declare emphatically that they are
not guilty of the charge of combina-
ton.
