GEN. STEPHEN LEE
is NOT FORGOTTEN
DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS IN HIS MEMORY.

At the recent annual meeting
of the Board of Trustees of the
Mississippi Department of Ar
chives and History the following
resolutions relative to the death
of General Stephen d. Lee, were
offered by DR.. r. w. Jones of
Laurel, Miss, the present learn
ed and scholarly president Of the
board. and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, in the providence of
God, General Stephen Dill Lee,
the distinguished president of
the Board of Trustees of the
Mississippi Department of Ar
chives and History, after a long,
most useful and honored life,
died in Vicksburg, Miss, May
q, 1908, at his post of duty,
therefore be it resolved,
That we put on record our
high esteem of him as man, a
citizen, soldier. His career as
an officer in the Confederate ar
my presented an example of pro-
motions that is almost unparal-
leled for rapidity. Beginning as
a captain in South Carolina, his
native State, he rose to the rank
of Lieutenant General, having
command of a department and
later of a corps in the Army of
Tennessee.
In every position he displayed
bravery and devotion that made
him conspicuous. AS a citizen
he served as a State Senator and
member of the constitutional
convention of 1890.
His longest and most effective
public service was as president of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Mississippi, where in
association with General j. 2.
George, Mr.. w. B. Montgomery
and others he established and
maintained that excellent insti-
tuition for industrial education.

BRANDS IT
AS FALSE

The following most interesting
communication, in which well
known Denver ~ Rio Grande car
man of this city denounces in no un-
certain terms the sensational and un-
true reports given publication by
certain papers, was received by The
Sentinel today:
Editor Daily Sentinel.-Allow me
space in your paper for few words
of defense of the Railway car men
of Grand Junction and the Denver
& Rio Grande railway system.
The Daily News in an article of
Saturday morning, April 4. makes
statement that the local car men on
the previous Thursday night had
unanimously voted to strike If the
company did not give them a new
contract.
This statement is not only mis-
leading to the reading public, but is
grave injustice TO the ear men as
we'll.
l cannot say how or from what
source the gentleman get his knowl-
edge. but | wish to say is a state
ment without foundation from be-
ginning to end. This paper would
lead you to believe that each local
union has a newspaper reporter in
their craft that makes a complete re-
port of each meeting.
This paper has done nothing but
agitate since the trouble on the
Denver and Rio Grande system be-
gan. In all the writeups the News
has given in regard to the proceed
ings of the local car men not once
have they touched on any part of the
truth.
If the News has the source of
their information in the local shops
it is very poor, indeed. If It is their
own writeup, they had better con-
tradict the statement, set them
selves right before the reading pub
lie and let the local unions and the
strike question rest, at least for
week. A. M. w.

READY FOR
BIG MEET

I
letic Association was held yesterday
afternoon, after which the track
captains and Coach Dodds met and
selected the officials for the big in
ter-class meet to be held Friday. AS
all have not yet been notified. the
list will be announced later.
Coach Dodds announced that as
yet all attempts had failed to unite
the Western Slope meet and the
Gunnison Valley meet. or to arrange
satisfactory date so that Grand
Junction could meet Delta. An in
vitation from Glenwood Springs TO
| meet was accepted. Consequently,
the local athletes will have an op-
portunity to exercise their athletic
ability in competition with the Lead
Vile. Salida and Glenwood and vi
cinity athletes.
Grand Junction probably has the
largest track team between Denver
and Salt Lake City and has won
more points at Boulder than any
school in western Colorado. Many
of the records made in the annual
, meet last year were exceedingly
close to the state records, aud to ap-
preciate the quality of the local meet
one must compare this schools rec
schools.
Last evening the try out for the
freshmen relay team was held and
the following were selected: Boyer.
Bunting. Barber, McCarty and Cald-
well.
This event is becoming more pop
ular each year and is surely one of
the most exciting on the program.
Each man runs 220 yards, making
total of $50 yards, or half mile.
Much head work in placing the men
and in the regulation of the method
of running, as well as speed, is nee
essary to win this contest. Usually
one may be safe in saying that the
four men and the sub who are chos-
ell are the best runners in the class.
Ten points are awarded the class
winning this event, and naturally
each class makes desperate effort
to win.
A pennant will be presented this
year to the winning team.
The Junior and sophomore can
didates for the respective relay
teams will be given try out this
afternoon. Last evening more than
20 men We're out in suit.
AS an advertising venture and to
excite more healthful rivalry in the
several contests, Manager Allen mas
prepared a subscription list which is
being circulated among the mer-
chants. who are giving small articles
of merchandise as trophies to the
winners of the different events.
Without an exception the business
men have more than generously do
mated some article from their stock.
The selection was left entirely to
the business man himself, and some
of the gifts have been of unexpect-
ed and unrequested value. OF course,
no cash prize could be accepted. as
this would put the contests in a class
with the professionals and debar
them from all amateur meets.
Ribbons will also be awarded to
the winner of first, second and third
places in each event.
With the meet only two days of,
II would be very difficult to pick toe
winning class, the winning reilly
team or the winner of the individual
championship. The winner of the
last-named honor of last year is
still in school and three out of the
four men who constituted the vic
torious relay team of '07 will run
again; so 1t is safe to say that many
of the records will be equallsd if not
broken.

of the white race, Mr.. Hobson said
1T is, of course, clear to the Japan
sse statesmen that America is the
one great nation standing athwart
of the realization of these ambitions
1t is true that America only asks a
fair chance and no favor-simply
the open door policy in China; but
this policy goes counter to Japan
ese ambitions"
The United States, said Mr.. Hob
son, must accept Japans protesta-
tions of friendship, and we should
most cordially reciprocate friendly
feelings and should realize that il
any breach should come between the
two countries it would be our fault,
on account of being SO defenseless,
and not the fault of Japan.
Pursuing his analysis of the con-
ditions in the Pacific, Mr.. Hobson
declared that 1--WE cannot ignore the
fact that Japan has undertaken STU
pendous war preparations, prepara-
tions whoch have doubled the ma
tional debt of Japan since the war
with Russia was over. 1t is estimat-
ed that she has between 800, 900
and 100000 men under arms. yet
there is no menace from the armies
of Siberia or the armies of China or
the armies of Europe. No nation
since the world began has ever main
tanned such an army. under such
conditions, except as preparation
for an early campaign of aggres-
sion"
Some, Mr.. Hobson said, had imag
ined that Japan's warlike prepara-
tons were intended for China; but
he declared no one could conceive
how great navy would be needed,
IL, ie, Cnn a
gunboat.
The United States, he said. could
not ignore the fact that warlike ac-
tivities have been going on in ia
pan "at a feverish rate" since the
war with Russia He said Japan
had made great purchases of war
material abroad. He pointed par
ticularly to the fact that America
had supplied 100000 rife barrels.
although our own troops have not
yet been supplied with new rifles.
when we realize" said he, that
in case of a war with Japan we could
do nothing practically to harm that
country, whereas we would be ex-
posed on all sides to injury that can
not be computed, it becomes a mat
ter of absolute necessity for our
peace and tranquility that we should
not only have a naval force in the
Pacific as large as that of Japan,
but that on account of our strategic
disadvantage we should have a very
substantial margin of superiority.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hobson said:
''It may be remarked that at this
critical juncture, when the world is
drifting toward wars, that the fail
ure on the part of America to build
up the naval power adequate to keep
peace in the Pacific ocean Will be
liable to entail not only "a war be-
tween America and Japan. but ulti-
mately a war between the white race
and the yellow race, and engender
hatred that would prevent the car
rying of the gospel of peace through
out Asia. The true policy for n
Christian to advocate is to have his
country, the great peace country,
keep the peace. secure and create
the opportunity for the church to
reach The myriads of Asia and car
ry the gospel until every knee shall
bow"

THE ELKs WIN OUT.

Yesterday the state supreme court
affirmed the decision of the district
court of Fremont county in the case
of the City of Canon City against the
EllSs Club, in which the former at
tempted to secure an order restrain
ing the sale of liquor at the club.
The decision is favorable to the
ElI<s.
The court did not touch upon the
merits involved insofar as those mer-
Its pertained to the rights of the
Elks Club to sell liquor or whether
the Canon City ordinance is violated
or not.
The Canon City council had passed
an ordinance declaring all places
where liquor is sold n nuisance.
The officers at Canon City UNDER
took to summarily close the club be-
cause liquor was sold. The club Sc
cured an injunction on the ground
that the officers should close it
through the courts. If at all, and that
1t must be proven that the club is a
nuisance in the court before 1t can
be closed.
The supreme court upheld the de-
cision of the lower court and specif-
ically stated that 1t was not passing
upon the right of the club to sell
liquor or the right of the city to
enact its ordinance but simply that
the city did not go about the en-
forcement of its ordinance in the
right manner
Under the decision 1t would be i'm
possible for the police authorities to
close any place without first going
to court to do it,
