To Honor Robert E. Lee.

The hundredth anniversary of the birth
OF a great American viii be appropriately
celebrated next Saturday at the Capital
Of the republic and throughout the ma
tion. Men and women Of all sections
and Of all political beliefs viii join in
doing honor to the memory Of Robert E
Lee Men who followed his inspiring
leadership TO the cannon's mouth and men
who faced his indomitabIe Iegions and
fought them through mists and seas of
blood VIII meet on common ground OF
respect 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 viii typlfy our national charac-
ter as nothing else can.
More than forty years have passed
since Lee surrendered his sword to Grant.
Tens Of thousands of the men who were
clutched in fratTicidal strife for four
years Of the most terrible and bloody war
in modern history are now alive. They
all belong to the same country. are equal
ly proud of the country. are equal shar-
ers Of common heritage. and the one
class would spring as passionately 10 the
defense of the nations honor as the other.
should that honor be attacked. Were
Robert z. Lee alive to-day, his great soul
would rejoice that his country is one and
indivisible, that the wild passions that
lashed his countrymen TO war were
calmed and conquered. and that the mad
dream which haunted the minds of men
fifty years ago and drenched a continent
in blood has been dispelled by an awaken
ing TO a condition whose reality is one of
the amazing wonders in all the history
of mankind
Lees fame is secure among that Of the
great captains of the race. His is a
world figure. He foresaw the inevitable
end Of the mad adventure of 1861. But
for very love Of his people he hazarded
bis all. The infinite pathos of his career
after the fires Of civil war were kindIed
must touch a responsive chord in the
heart and mind of every honorable man.
In his character were combined the finest
and gentiest elements that constitute the
best there is in American citizenship. No
consideration Of self-interest spurred his
mind or warped his soul. When his cause
was lost and his half-starved. half-ciotbed
armies were told by Grant to return to the
ways of peace under the protection of a
reunited country. Lee devoted himself
with singieness Of purpose 10 the recon-
ciliation Of the people he loved 10 the in
sututions OF the country he loved.

PROPER USE OF GREAT WEALTH
How Capital May BE Employed for
the Common Benefit.

From the New York Erening Post.
Many thoughtful and devout Christians
have pointed out that the doctrine OF
wealth taught, or. rather. implied. in the
New Testament. is defective Il Is so,
just as its astronomical doctrine is de-
fective. simply because the conditions OF
the time made full perception Of the
truth impossible. The modern idea OF
wealth In use had never come into the
ken OF the New Testament writer's.
Great riches were, TO them, an accumula-
tion Of Jewels. or other personal belong
ings, which could be used only for selfish
enjoyment. Even the man who had
lands and 1Ocks and herds was thought
Of merely as one TO whom much flowed
and from whom nothing came. In a
word, the conception OF capital as a
fructifying source Of development and
social good was unknown in Judea 1000
years ago. Hence II could not figure in
the teachings Of the New Testament.
Christian morality had to do with the
life, the motives, the brotherhood. whether
OF rich or poor; but 1t had not, and could
not have. anything directly to say about
an economic world Of which it never
dreamed.
This is the reason why so often some
practices Of a modern industrial society
are said to be distinctly contrary to the
teachings Of Jesus" Taken literally, that

Cost of Our National pride

The fortihcations bill, pending in Con-

military protection Of our colonial posses
sions in the Pacific and the Orient by APP
propriating $l,600,00O for the continuation
Of the projects recommended by the Taft

board, will be S22.OOO.COO, of which one

of the Philippines and Hawaii. 1t viii
take S6,00e.000 to complete the defenses at
Manila and 100000 to complete those at
Subig Bay.
During the debate in the House on the
fortifcations bill, Mr.. Mahon. Of Pennsyl-
vania, asked:
In making these appropriations Of millions Of
dollars for the Philippine Islands, when are you
going TO get it back?"
To which Mr.. Smith, of Iowa. replied:
y never have understood that we have ever cot
back in any sense such the gentleman apparently
uses the term any money from anywhere This
money is expended for the protection Of our pride "
In other words. we are committed to
the defense OF our colonies not because
they are Of any value 10 US in a COM
mercia way, but because our national
vanity will not permit anybody to take
them from US. They are a sort Of chip
on the shoulder. a challenge TO interna-
tional beIligerence.
Our national pride is thus not only an
expensive luxury, but also Il provocative
Of trouble; and the only way to keep out
OF trouble is TO spend more money for
the protection Of our pride, so as to make
1t unapproachable and invulnerable.
