TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF
GEN. LEE

The one hundredth anniversary
Of the birth of General Robert Ed
ward Lee will be celebrated Satur-
dav. the 10th, throughout the
South. and In many cities of the
North his name and fame Will be
bonored. In fact, throughout the
English-speaking world the ocoa-
sion will no doubt afford oppor'
tunities to hold up the great Con-
federate chieftain as an exemplar'
That the ability of General Lee
as a commander, as a great general
in planning and execution battles
is being recognized even by mis-
former antagonists,ls evidenced oY
the fact that numerous Northern
papers and magazines of late years
have been unstinted in their praise
of his fame. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has referred to
General Lee as the greatest mill
tary genius the Anglo-Saxon race
has vet produced, not excepting
the Duke of Wellington and the
Duke of Marlborough.
liz the Southland which ne loved
40 well, in Virginia which gave
him birth, will the day be memoir
able. and in Lexington, where the
closing years of his splendid life
were spent in moulding the hVes
of hundreds of young men, VINO In
turn have Influenced unnumoereo
Others, the occasion will be one OF
urusual interest. The presence OF
many of those who as students sat
at the feet of the matchless Lee
while he presided over washing
ton College, will revive memories
and associations that are held as
sacred possessions.
And most fitting is it that the
orator OF the day shall be son
of the great Commonwealth OF
Massac use,ts, which is linked
to Virginia by so many ties OF
mutual interest and respect, reach
ing back to Colonial times when
these two eldest of the Com mon
wealths stood shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart for common
heritage of freedom against "
common oppressor'

The STATE Press on the V. M. l..
Situation

The following notices have ap-
peared in the State press with rel
erence to, the fireworks celebration
of the third class on the night OF
January 5 at the Virginia Military
Institute:
Stsunton Leader: No one can
analyzs the motives of crowd o.
young men when they band to-
getl.er for purposes of mischief or
even for a frolicscme escapade.
Young men or boys in q crowd VIII
do things which they would not
think of doing individually, not
nerely because they feel that the
chances of getting caught are
greater, but because. as individ-
uals, :hey feel keener sense OF
responsibility, and are more
thoughtful of consequences. A
crowd, worked UP TO high pitch,
one member urging on the other,
neither thinks nor cares for con-
sequences. Yet it would be unfort-
innate to excuse wrongdoirg on
these grounds. A very recent ex-
ample of this was the escapade OF
the third class at the Virginia Mil
itary Institute. The act, though
harmless in itself, was an instance
of rank insubor dination, and the
guilty cadets should be severely
punished, from the ringleaders
down to the last man Of them.
Alexandria Gazette: Seventy
two members of the third class
who took part in the fireworks es
capade Saturday night at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute were very
properly dismissed by u special
order read at the evening parade
yesterday but execution of tie or
der was suspended pending a meet
ing of the board of visitors, soor
to be held. The cadets have on
ly themselves to blame for theil
dismissal. They wilfully disobeyec
the rules of the institute and the
authorities had but enc recourse
left ttem in maintaining discl
pline.
Staunton Dispatch: Those V
NJ. 1. cadets who fired the sky
rockets came down like the stick
and are probably wondering wher'
the fun comes in.

at this mornings session OF the Young

The Association, and It's Relation TO
the Workingman."
Mr.. Straus called attention to the vast
number OF opportunities which are open
10 citizens OF this counrt, and said that
because OF this fact IL is therefore much
more necessary 20 teach the average
man and woman to value and appre-
ciate the blessings that are guaranteed
TO all alike under the system of free
institutions Of the United States.
Prosperity of Country.
The Secretary also spoke Of the great
prosperity which the United States Is
now enjoying. In talking along this
line. he said;
'"Ehere is no lack Of present-day
problems. That Is not because there are
more evils to redress, more wrongs to
be righted, more helpless and ignorant
to be cared for; on the contrary, the
rights OF the many were never more
jealousy guarded, there were never
more renIuneratlve emplOyments. better
wages paid, and never more Of the COM
forts OF life enjoyed by greater number
than in our day and in our country"
He then went on to speak of the
growth of democracy and OF the need
for better understanding between capi-
tai and labor Continuing, he said that
the Young Mems Christian Association
could do more than any other organiza-
ton in bringing these conditions

Straus, whose foundations are laid
upon the broad principles of religion as

purposes. and whose aim is patriotic
and humanitarian, can do much to bring
