ALONG DISTANCE INDIAN
Marathon Feat of Indian Runner at Los Angeles Brings up old Indian Tales.

The performance of Harry Me- Lean of the Phoenix Indian school at Los Angeles Monday has recalled to old timers in Phoenix the achievement of another Indian who is still living. He is "Slim Jim. a Maricopa, who lives in the lower reservation, but who is in town al- most every day.
 Almost twenty-five years ago and as late as twenty-two years ago "Slim Jim" was employed to run between Phoenix and the fort at Prescott to carry dispatches. He always made the run of l22 miles between sun and sum-" returning on the following day.
 He travelled over the Black Can- yon route. He always left Phoenix on a swinging trot and he always arrived at the fort on the same kind of trot. People who now and then encountered him on the way said that the always was in the same gait. He never seemed the worse for one of these jaunts and it used to be wonder how far he could run.
 Not long ago he was in town and Joe Bush asked him if he would not like to get into a Marathon: "No run 'em now; too many cigarettes. !" Phoenix Republican.

Kansas City Stock Yards. July 19.-Small receipts of cattle here last week infused some strength in- to prices, and sales at the best time were 10 to 25 cents higher on Vest ern grassers. The week closed with a portion of the gain lost. and with cows selling lower than at the end of the previous week. A feature last week was the sale of some Kan sas fed Colorado steers at $7. Is. top price of the week on heavy steers. Weighty Kansas grazed westerns sold at $5.75 to $6.40. lighter and thinner steers down to $4.25 to kill CTS. The run today is l9,000 head, including 2,0O0 calves, largest run this summer, and the market is steady to a little lower, the inferior grades getting the decline as usual.

Grass cows and heifers range from $500 to $500. bulls $2. 75, to $4.25, calves 50 cents higher last week, but a little lower today, best veals SIPS.

THE UNsULLIED FAME OF LEE.

On the one hundred and second an
niversary Of his birth the fame of Lee
is secure. The worlds military au-
thorities rank him among the greatest
commanders Of all time; even those
who fought against him yield him re-
gard and admiration, and his own peo-
pie hold him in their heart Of hearts.
AS early as the Mexican War Gen.
Winfield Scott pronounced Lee "the
greatest living soldier in America"
and Lord Wolsey has placed him with
Wellington and Marlborough, among
the greatest captains Of the English
speaking race. That his ability was
generally recognized even before his
career in the Civil War is shown by
the fact that President Lincoln offered
Lee the command of the Union armies
in the field when the conflict was i'm
minent. In letter to Senator Re
verdy Johnson February Is, 1868,
General Lee states that Francis P.
Blair made him the offer Of command
on behalf of Presid mt Lincoln, and
Blair confirmed the statement. Simon
Cameron, the first Secretary Of War
in President Lincoln s Cabinet, ad-
mitted that the offer was made, and it
is well known that Gen. Winfield Scott
considered Lee the one man for COM
mander. He is probably the only
man in history who had his choice
of command of the armies of either
side in a civil war; and, inspired by
principle alone, he deliberately cast
his fortunes with the side he knew
was the weaker in population, re-
sources, equipment and most of the
things that turn the fortunes Of war.
He was opposed to secession; he was
not an upholder of slavery; he earn
estly desired to avoid war; but moth
ing could tempt him from what he
considered his duty, and he firmly de-
clared that he "could take no part
in an invasion of the Southern
States"
Another paradox of that remarka
BILE civil conflict is the statement that
General Lee, who was denounced as

ANOTHER DEBT TO JEFFERSON.

The other day Golfers Magazine
printed an article crediting President
Eliot of Harvard with being the
founder of what is called the elective
system of courses in education. In
the old days the student was sup
posed to take what was set before
him, asking no questions, but only
answering them. The new idea In
education is that a student old
enough to enter college is old enough
to know what he wants to learn, and
should be given the right to choose.
The Golfers article credited Presi-
dent Eliot with this revolutionary
departure, and here is the correction
sent In by reader:
That this is not correct can be seen
from an address by Prof. Francis
Greenwood Peabody of Harvard, de-
livered at the University Of Vir-
ginia few years ago. Professor Pea
body says:
"The expansion Of the elective
system at Harvard is the secret of
its growth. Liberty to teach and lib
erty to learn have brought devoted
students. And the last thirty years
of life at Harvard have testified to
the American faith in liberty as the
boc;o oP oJ1oo+;or P,,+ xubo,o xyo ooyoa
to ask ourselves where this system
was first devised, we come back to
you. Fifty years before the admins
tration of Harvard offered even a
modest recognition to the principle Of
election it was absolutely accepted
here by the genius, foresight, and
philosophic grasp of Mr.. Jefferson.
Harvard claims to be one with the
University Of Virginia in a common
devotion to the principle of liberty in
educational life. I"
Thus it is seen that not to Harvard
and President Eliot, but to the Uni
versity of Virginia and Thomas JEFF
ferson, belongs the credit for intro
ducing the elective system into
American university life.
Robert x. Massie,
Alumnus Of University Of Virginia.
So it seems that we owe liberty in
education to Thomas Jefferson, just
as we owe SO many other good things.
Jefferson had faults, judged by some
modern standards. He never shrieked
for navy bigger than the merchant
marine it was designed to protect. He
never rode 400 miles in a. day, nor en-
ployed secret spy system to jam his
bills through the Senate, nor sent in
twenty-seven special messages to de-
nounce opposing editors in short and
ugly terms. But as a far-seeing
statesman he was quite fellow
after all. We are glad to see the
new feather in his cap-and to doff
our own in recognition.-Rocky

1862 and in January, 1868, freeing
them before the Emancipation Procla-
nation, while Thomas Nelson Page, in
his latest work on Lee, and others as
sert that General Grants family held
slaves until they were freed by Mr..
Lincoln s proclamation.
The spirit of devotion to principle
which moved General Lee was the
spirit of the South in maintaining it's
principles and resisting hostile inva-
sion.
Col G.. F. R. Henderson, the noted
English military authority and the
biographer Of StoneWall Jackson,
says:
"This spirit Of self-sacrifce which
animated the Confederate South has
been characteristic of every revolu-
ton which has been the expression Of
a nations wrongs, but it has never
yet accompanied mere factious insur-
rection. When in the process of time
the history of secession comes to be
viewed with the same freedom from
prejudice as the history Of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries, it
will be clear that the fourth great
revolution Of the English-speaking
race differs in no essential character
istic from those that preceded it. In
each a great principle was at stake;
in 1912 the liberty of the subject; in
1858 the integrity Of the Protestant
faith; in 1775 taxation only with the
consent Of the taxed; in 1861 the
sovereignty Of the individual States. "
Lee was fit leader for such a peo-
pie. He was the incarnation Of the
South, not only great military ge-
MUS, but one of the sublimest char
acters in our history. Senator Benja-
min II. Hill declared that he was
caesar without his ambition, Fred
erick without his tyranny, Napoleon
without his selfshness and Washing
ton without his reward F"
They were all great in victory, but
the greatness Of Lee character was
manifested even more strongly In de-
feat. When he rode back down the
lines after the surrender at Appomat-
tox his men by the hundreds crowded
around him, the tears streaming down
their cheeks, seeking to kiss his hand,
to touch his coat, his saddle, even to
catch a glimpse Of the commander
they loved even more passionately
in defeat than in the most glorious
hour Of victory. He bore all the at
tacks, the Misrepresentation, the re-
vilement of his enemies without
murmnr ? He gladly bore the burdens
of his people, shared their sorrows
and looked forward hopefully to
reunited country.
An old Confederate said not long
ago: "The moment you saw General
Lee you knew that you were in the
presence of greatness. He was the
kingliest man ever saw"
In person, in character, in public
and private life, in the field, in the
college, he was always Lee. He him
self gave the keynote to his character
