have been filed, gives the coalition

the last parliament, from the same

Robert E. Lees Statute at
WASHINGTON

The national hall of fame is Statu-
airy Hall in the Capitol at Washing
ton. This hall was formerly used by
the House of Representatives, and
when the wings were added to the
Capitol the hall was turned over to
the States, each State being invited
to place In it two statues. Virginia
selected George Washington and
Robert E. Lee as the men she desired
to honor in this way, and very natur-
ally the State instructed the sculptor
to present the great soldier in his
Confederate uniform. The statues
were duly made and placed in Statu-
airy Hall, and then protests began to
come in from the Grand Army of the
Republic, which is still fighting the
civil War oyer again at every oppor-
tunity.
The subject was referred by Presi-
dent Taft to Attorney-General Wick
ersham, who held not only that
Virginia had right to select the
two whom it desired to honor in
Statuary Hall, but. as a matter of
taste, she did well to honor Robert
e. Lee because he typified all that
was best in the Lost Cause, and he
accepted without misgivings the re-
suit of the War
Not only Virginia, but the admins
tration approves the statue that has
been placed in Statuary Hall, and it
will remain no doubt to the end of
the republic, and it will draw the two
sections together until both stand
ready to honor the memory of the no
bic soldier and Christian gentleman.

Absurd, Says Tom Watson
He Would Have New Method of
Organizing Conventions

Editor Post:-Is it not apparent to
you that the present method of form
ing political conventions is perfectly
absurd? States which never go Re-
publican are given the same repre-
sentatiOn as those that always do.
Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas
cast as many votes in the nominating
conventions as they would have if
they went Republican at every cleo
ton.
In like manner, States which never
go Democratic are allowed the same
representation as would be given to
them if they always did. The conse-
quence is that the big Republican
States often control Democratic con-
ventions; and the negro delegations
from the South frequently hold the
balance of power when the Republi-
cans are making their nominations.
There isn't particle of sense in this,
and it violates the very first princi-
pies of representative government.
The true representative principle
should be applied to this anomalous
situation. Each State which goes
Democratic or Republican should, of
course, continue to receive the same
number of votes that are now given
to it by party law; but those States
wherein the Democrats or the Repub-
leans are in the minority sh ould not
have full representation in the con-
ventions of their respective parties.
To allow a minority the same repre-
sentation that would be conceded to
a majority is to violate the principles
of popular self-government To these
Democratic and Republican minori-
ties should be applied the principle of
proportional representation. For in
stance, if the Republican vote in
Georgia is only one-fourth of a ma
jority, it should have in the national
convention of the Republican party
only one-fourth as many votes as
Georgia would have cast had she
gone Republican. Likewise, if the
Democrats in Pennsylvania showed
up only one-half of the voting
strength of the Republicans in the
last election, Pennsylvania should
come into the Democratic convention
with only half her full representa-
ton.
Either simple or equitable plan
of this sort should be adopted to
make up national conventions, or
there should be no representation at
