Lincoln'S Tribute to Lee.

Yesterday was the centenary of
the birth of Robert Edward Lee. for
four years commander of the Army
of Northern Virginia. More than
forty years have passed since the
close OF the civil war and the sur
render OF Lees army TO Grant at
Appomattoz. In that time the bit
terness of the North toward the
South and the raneor of the South
toward the North have largely
passed away, and the time has come
when men of both sections feel free
70 voice their real sentiments Of re-
spect and admiration for the great
commander who, during practically
the entire period of the civil war,
was the foremost chieftain of the
Confederacy. As to the real merit of
General Lee as a military man, it is
fitting that at this time it be recalled
that he might have been the leader
of the armies of the Union had he
feen willing To accept that RESPONSE
bility. The historical correctness of
this statement is now known and
acknowledged by students of his
tory.
When the civil war broke out and
Fort Sumter was fired on, Lee was
already of high rank. The same
month of the bOmbardment of Fort
Sumter he became a full colonel of
the United States army. He had
fought through the Mexican war
with great credit. Gen. Winfield
Scott, then the head of the army,
knew Lees record, both as an Of
ficer in the Mexican war and

Where Speed Is Excellent.

VI San Francisco Thursday, ac-
e.rding 10 the plans previously laid
olt, the first step was taken in the
empt of the United States Gov
Eminent To render null and void the
California law segregating japanese
tdren from the public schools.
The complaining witness, a ten
=r-old Japanese boy named Kei-
81 Al Aoki went to Redding Primary
-eHoOl with officials from the United
STATES district attorneys office and
lormally applied for admission. The
application was denied, and this ac-
tion viii be the specific ground for
the Governments suit.
Here lisa ease where speed is more
desirable than that innate dignity of
the law which sometimes refuses TO
be hurried. One nation, at any rate,
is awaiting the outcome of the mat
ter with great deal of feeling, and
the other is. at least. interested.
We are advised that as much rapid
ity as possible win be applied. The
papers in the suit win be ready to
file in the supreme court Of Cali
fornia today. The suit viii be an
application for an injunction re-
straining the board of education
from carrying out its segregation
order, based On the ground that il
is a violation of the treaty rights of
the Japanese and unjust discrimina-
ton against them.
Naturally, the city attorney of
San Francisco viii do all he can to
prevent an appeal TO the Federal
courts, but there is where the ease
must inevitably land, The sooner it
energies with "a decision, the better

LINERS CAPTAINS UNl0NlzE;
DEFY BIG GERMANY COMPANY

BERLIN, Jan. 1s.-It is thought more
than likely that the Kaiser viii act as
arbitrator between the Hamburg Ameri-
can Steamship Company and its cap
tains, who have been at odds for some
time.
The captains IN command Of the great
liners belonging to the company have
joined a union and the company has sent
them an ultimatum demanding that they
give up the union or leave the service
Of the company.
The captains, however. refuse to leave
the union. which numbers 10000 mem
bers, and declare that they are in a
position TO defy the company, as they
have been guaranteed 100 marks month
strike money by the union. which will
Keep them out of want until the COM
pany throws up the sponge.
There is no doubt but that the cap
tsins hold the winning hand. as it wiz
be impossible for the company to nil
their places.

limit of six tickets TO the buyer
the management made it difficult at

throughout the more peaceful days
of his army career. The great
Lincoln had at that time barely en-
tered on his duties as President. II
il beyond dispute that Lincoln, with
the sanction of Scott, rendered to
Colonel Lee the high honor of com
handing the army of the United
States in the struggle that was then
impending. The tender was made
informally, through /. third party.
Lee was moved by his love for the
old flag, which he had followed on
MANY bloody field, and which none
respected more highly than he. But
he was moved more profoundly by
his love for Virginia, his native
State, and his reply to the offer
made him was that he could never
take up arms against his State and
could never lead an army against it.
At the same time, with high sense
of honor, he felt he could no longer
retain his commission under the
United States Government. He, ac-
cordingly, resigned forthwith, and
turned sadly from Washington to
start in the direction of Richmond,
after pacing for hours, as tradition
has it, back and forth on the
veranda of the Lee mansion at Ar
lington, looking out across the Po-
tomac at the Capital of the nation
and foreseemg in his minds eye the
bloody struggle that confronted the
divided American people. The adj
mirers Of General Lee can find in
all his career no higher tribute to
his worth as a military man than
that paid him by Lincoln at the
hour Of the country's supreme trial,
and no finer testimonial TO his char
acter as a man than the recital of
his conduct in those troubled days
of April, 1861.

Last year, it appears, the Repub-

the gentle business of making CON

An Inland Metropolis?

Inland as Chicago is. she will vet
surpass New York unless the pres
ent metropolis wakes up and goes
10 work. The latest move of the
city by Lake Michigan is 10 carry
deep water forty miles into the
State of Illinois and enable vessels
of heavy draught to unload coal.
ore, and merchandise at the mills
and warehouses of Joliet.
If Chicago does as well with this
project as she has done with others,
it is not too much to expect that
within twenty years the drainage
canal, constructed 10 serve as a
sewer, may be lined with manufac-
turing establishments. The plans
include, according TO the Railway
Age, the establishment of a 10000
horsepower plant, and the eonstruc-
ton Of an inland harbOF, into which
the boats may float from the canal.
BY an outlay of 100000 the $780,
100000 invested in the drainage
canal is expected to be made produe-
tive of revenue.
These columns have already noted
Chicago's great scheme for develop
ing her lake front, extending and
organizing her parks into a compre-
hensiVe system, and adjoining a
noble city square with imposing
municipal buildings. Add to all this
the trade reasonably promised by
her new canal and her future
growth seems more than assured.
Meanwhile New York helps
precious little as the National Gov
eminent deepens her harbor, does
nothing At all to improve her wharf
facilities-probably the poorest, in
proportion TO the business done, in
the wOrld-anG has not gone beyond
planning the Identification of her
river banks. Water street is still
congested twelve hours day.
The trouble is TO care for
the trade already at hand with
out reaching out for more. New
bridges, new subways, and new rail
road terminals TO meet present de-
mands are her problems.
Easily enough it may eventuate
that New Iorl's very advantage Of
location shall limit her growth.
Part of her as Brooklyn and Jersey
City are, New Yorlfs trade will
hardly ever spread far from Man
haitian island. But Chicago has the
whole State of Illinois to grow il,
and is making plans TO carry slip
ping facilities along as she grows.
1t is surely No extravaganza to say
that her possibilities are great
enough to make the true New
Yorker nervous.
