day. Starting out a little after 10

Returning to Beverly. the speedo-

natural; that mis- statue should be cloth

LEE STATUE WILL STAY.
President Taft Approves the Finding
of General Wickersham

Beverly, Aug. l-President Taft has
approved without comment an opinion
by Attorney General Wickersham to the
effect that there is no provision of law
by which the statue of general Robert
e. Lee in confederate uniform can be
removed from statuary hall in the capt.
toll at Washington. In addition to de-
Gliding the question on a purely legal
hosis Mr.. Wickersha1I, argues the mat
ter from an ethical point of view, de-
claring that Lee has come to be re-
garded as typifying all that was best in
the cause to which he gave his services
and the most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance OF the complete overthrow
of that cause.
That the state of Virginia should des-
ignate him for that place in statuary
hall as one illuStrious for distinguished
military service the attorney general de-
clareS is onlv natural and warranted
Under the reading of the law.
Mr. Wickersnanl's opinion was called
forth by, protests to the president from
the department of New York Grand
Army of the Republic. In his opinion
addressed to and approved by the pres
ident, Attorney General Wickersham
says:
Il have read the resolutions adopted
by the department of New York Grand
Army of the Republic at Syracuse on
June %, and the communication of
Hon. James Tanner with respect to
them. The act of July 2, 1854. referred
to, provides for the creation of suitable
