ROBERT EDWARD LEE.

## oHc uunuTcu yours ago hODeTC lIu-
ward Lee OF Virginia was born, ana
the anniversary will bn observed
throughout the South, and on n
more limited scale in the North, In
all respect, admiration and rever
ence due the memory of the char.
acter towering amid American no.
btllty and gentilty, The story OF
the life of one of Americas greatest
citizens will be retold In many set
tings; his notable traits vii be de.
scrtbed with varying emphasis and
the world will again be given the
chance TO apply the much needed
lessons Of his career.
< Year by year with increasing
knowledge. and so with deepening
affection, his countrymen contem-
plate the life OF General Lee. With
sympathetic interest, which never
falters. they ponder the successive
chapters OF his strenuous, pathetic
history. from the beginning to the
end full OF pathos. They note the
sore trials which he endured without
flinching; the Victories which he
won without undue citation. They
appreciate his inexhaustible pa
thence; his courage as serene as the
stars yet unyielding as the hills:
his uncommon common sense, often
having the potency of division, and
his passionate love for State. More
and more are broadminded Amer-
leans, as they rise above the mists
OF passion and prejudice and view
the stainless and noble character
of Lee In It's true perspective, COM
ing to the point where they are
willing and glad DO acclaim him the
4 perfected flower of American citi'
,zenship, and with this feeling grow
Ing stronger and stronger each year
3 the study of the life Of Lee and
the celebrations of his birth Will
bring out more clearly the truth
about the terrible conflict OF 1861
I 1t Is being realized more and more
that 1t was not a split of oppres
sion In the North nor the spirit oil
rebellion and disloyality in the South
that caused the war, but the con
flict between two inherited concep
lions of patriotism--state patriotism
ON one side and, national patriotism
on the other. 1t was one of those
tragedies of which history rs full
of conflicting ideas which cannot be
solved except by an appeal to the
4 force of arms.
Longfellow has sung that
Whenever noble deed Is wrought
. Whene'er Is spoken noble thought
Our hearts in glad surprise,
To higher levels rise.
To contemplate Lee Is to lift u
oar hearts to those lofty levels. IL

life is to have ones faith in human
nature refreshed. is to grow in tina
