THE LEE CELEBRATION.

J. Ed Murray camp of EX-Confed- crate Veterans announces that it will observe and celebrate by public pro gram to take place at either the court house or the Elks theater in this city the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of General Robert F. Lee.
 January 19, 1907. will mark the one hundredth anniversary Of the birth Of this truly great man, d man whom for- eign military experts have declared the greatest soldier of his age.
 The best thought of the country is beginning to recognize and admit that Lee was correct in his theory of the constitution with reference to the right of state or states to secede and that he represented the conscience and purity of motives of the South in taking up arms, with sorrow in his heart, against the flag his forefathers had fought and bled to establish.
 He was truly great American, not truly great Southerner merely, and his memory is enshrined in the hearts of those of his countrymen who know history enough to give him his proper place.
 The observance of his centenary, and it's accompanying eXpositions of his character, his public and private life will tend imn, hlv tp i'm struct the younger generations as to his proper place in American history.
 It is proper that this event should be fittlnSly celebrated, and the Gra- D]11c is glad to chronicle that this oc- casion is to be observed by a public demonstration in honor of the great hero There should be and no doubt will be a large attendance

RAILROAD BUILDING IN 1906.

The St. Louis Republic, explaining
 why, during the closing year, only
 about half of the 13,00O new railroad
 mileage contemplated at the begin
 ming of the year was built. says that
 every industry was continuously so
 busy that the railroads simply could
 not get the men to grade the road beds and lay the track. Foundlies
 and rolling mills were to full of or ders to give them the rails and struct- ural iron for all the new buildings pro- jected for the year.
 Still the 6,064 miles of new track laid during the year are more than
 have been added to the countrys mile age since 1887, when the maximum of 13,O0O miles of new track was laid. The Southwest and the Northwest, both in the trade territory of St. Louis are the sections in which the road builders were busiest during the year, and this condition is likely to con- tinue throughout 1907.
 me RepuOlc also declares that though the building plans of the roads for, the coming year have not been published, it would not be surprising if the roads should pay good deal more attention to the betterments of ] already ill existence than to 1 he building of new roads.
 Improvements of terminal facilities, of curves, reducing grades and building double track will absorb much of: the capital and receive much of the attetnion of the sof transportation in the inn mediate future. But in the Southwest. at least, the necessity for4 much new track can hardly be., ,ayoidetxS

WEAVER CAUSES SENSATION
Philadelphia's Mayor Comes Out for
Municipal Ownership.
Message 10 the Council To Estab-
Itsh City Bank SheIxed
Without Comment.

Philadelphia. Pa. March 21.-Mayor
John Weaver came out strongly for NUM-
eipal ownership in a message to-day to
the councils. in which he advocated the
establishment of a municipal bank. The
mayor. on more than one occasion. ex-
pressed himself as strongly in favor Of the
city taking over the entire system Of
street cars. It viii be remembered that
it was his plan that the city take back
the gas works that led to the memorable
political revolt in May. 1906.
The introduction of the message caused
a mild sensation in the councils when it
was read. Banking interests, represented
by certain members, stated afterward that
there was no possibility of the mayor s
project ever becoming a reality as there
was law preventing the city from enter
ing into business.
The establishment of such bank as
that proposed by Mayor Weaver would
withdraw from city banks from $l3, 600
to $2e,OOo,0oo each year. The city gets only
: per cent interest so the reason for
the objection Of banking interests may be
readily seen. Mayor Weaver in his mes
sage points out that while the city gets
only per cent. the banks In which the
money is deposited loan the same money
at a per cent rate.
The message was not debatable, but was
shelved without formal comment
