GEN. LEE AND THE NATTON'S
DEBT TO CONTEMPORARIES

The placing in the statuarv hall in
the capitol Of the United States of the
statue of Gen. Robert f. Lee as con
tribution on the part of the state of
Virginia, has been approved by United
States Attorney General George Wood
ward Wickersham.
The attorney general has no author
ity to decide for or against any statue
in the capitol hall, but he has stated
the law in the ease, and the law is
plain and decisive enough The act
of July, 1854, provides for the crea-
tion of suitable structures and ratings
in the oil hall of the house of repre-
sentatives for the reception and pro
lection of statuary which is to be I'M
der the supervision and direction of
the chief engineers in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds, and the sta
tute authorizes the president to in
wife each and all the states to provide
and furnish statues in marble or bronze
not exceeding two in number from each
state, of persons who have been citi-
zens thereof and illustrious for their
historic renoWn for distinguished civ
ic or military services, such as each
state shall deem to be worthy of this
national commemoraton, and when SC
furnished the same shall be placed in
the old hall of the house of representa-
tives in the capitol Of the United
States, which is set aside, or as much
| thereof as may be necessary, for the
national statuary hall, for the purpose
indicated.
The states possess the sole right to
choose AM to furnish the statues to
be set up in the hall, and there is nc
/ provision for any rejection if the sta
tue be proper representation of the
person whom it is to commemorate
and the person it represents shall have
been illustrious in serving his state.
But the expression on the subject By
the attorney general is of great mo
ment, since with the appreciation OF
the chief magistrate of the republic

RESIGNED THE COUNCIL,

AT the last meeting of the City COun-
ell, Mr.. l.. Pink Smith, who has rep
resented the first warl and the city
at large nearly four years rendered
his resignation, which was accepted
with great reluctance by his fellow
members. Mr. Smith has made, in
the opinion of The Times. the most
earnest and enthusiastic member of
the City Council since the days Of the
late lamcntcd r. w. Tilford. The
position Of councilman in this city

care to have, as also one that is thank

with qre2t patience, and in retiring can
console himself with the fact that ev-
cry move he has made and every vote
he has cast in its proceedings, have

those throwing trash, or other disease

hundreds of people pass every day. A

TENNESSEE'S ELECTIONS.

The Associated Press dispatches con
vey the information that the "bolters"
ticket had carried the day by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority. Governor
Patterson made a brave and manly
fight but the coalition of the boilers )"
with the Republicans was too hard a
tide to stem. No doubt the admins
tration in Washington is greatly pleas,
ed and look forward to the capturing
Of Tennessee in November by the gu
bcrnatorial republican candidate and
for the presidency in 1912. God
grant the Democrats can get together
and thwart all such prospects.

Our attention has been called to

are being thrown This state of affairs
breeds flies and other insects which
spread disease throughout our city. Tn

from the Mississippi Land Develop
ment association on ''Health Condi-
tions in Mississippi Theer is no rea-
son why Greenvils should not be as
healthful as any place in the United
States, but we can't have health

BOOST THF GYMNASIUM.

A certain amount of interest is be
ing taken in a gymnasium, recently
organized ty few of our young men.
This is a move that should be encour-
aged. Exercise is the foundation of
health The quarters over the Delta
Automobile Co., are inadequate for an
athletic club, and impossible to have
all the conveniences pertaining to a
club Of this nature.
Tt has been suggested by several
men interested in having an uptodate
"gym" to have the city council set
aside place in Greenway park fer
such a purpose, provided the organi-
zation is perfected to the extent of
raising funds sufficient to erect \
building and Installing the necessary
apparatus, including swimming pool
and shower baths
This club Will materially employ the
time of several of our young men, and
some older ones, too, and lessen the
temptations put before them by loiter-
ing around the streets.
Such a club could be launched i'll
Grocnville if the proper encouragement
can be had from the city.
An initiation fee of $1,000 and 100
per month will amply sustain a first
class gymnasium with instructor.
Young men, boost this move ami get
together, organize, and show you are
in earnest and mean business-then
we are sure the city council will grant
the concession.

cit is now forty-fve years since the
Civil War closed. Robert E. Lee has

native state, he gave his services, but
also the most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance of the complete overthrow

unsuccessful attempt to destroy the
union. and that the statue should be
accepted in the national statuarv hall
as the symbol of the acceptance, with
out misgivings, of a complete surren-
Ter and a renewed loyalty, should sure
~ provoke no opposition. But. at all
events. independently of the question
of taste. the act of Congress places
no restriction on the designation by
the State of whom they may desire to
honor in this way, nor does it vest in
any official any censorship concerning
the designation of the costume in
which that statue shall be depicted -
This should settle the matter, not

that the Civil War was absolutely nee

dant and hostile sections into an in
divisihle and powerful nation to fit it

to which it is destined, the day will
