A HOWL FROM BOSTON
Objects to Lees Statue Being in the
Hall OF Fame.

AS reported by telegraph on April 6,
the Massachusetts, members of the
Grand Army of the Republic assembled
for their annual encampbent unanimous
ly voiced a protest against placing in
the national House of Representatives
a statue of General Robert E Lee
clothed in the uniform of a Confederate
general, and petitioned Congress for its
removal.
Retiring Department Commander ].
L. Parker was enthusiastically applaud
ed when he gave full expression to his
feelings on the subject.
1T would be an insult to the memory
of the men who gave their lives for
their country" he said, "and the Union
veterans who have survived the war and
who still cherish a love for the flag they
fought under to place the Statue OF
Robert E. Lee, in the full uniform of a
rebel general, in the hall of fame if 1t
would teach the coming generations that
the man who fought to destroy this
country deserves the highest honors the
Nation can bestow.
Virginia has passed over men like
Jefferson, Marshall, Monroe and Scott
and set up in the statuary hall the figure
of Lee, not as a citizen, but in the uni
form of Confederate general added
the commander.
The resolution on the subject, which
was adopted, said that after full investl-
CATION it had been determined that, as
Robert z. Lee never accepted the terms
of amnesty offered by General Grant, he
died not a citizen of the United States,
and that his statue, therefore, had no
right in the hall of honor
Let the G. A. R. howl. Who cares a
continental for the view, or the express
ion of opinion of the so-called COM
mander of the Massachusetts aggrega-
ton? Lee and his fame are beyond the
reach of these jackals. He looms into
greater prominence and glory as These
would-be detractors belittle themselves
in their n1alignity of spirit

AXE the matter up and push it hard, it
is said. Since the plan was first sug-
gested several weeks ago the adherents
10 the plan have greatly increased.
THAT such a celebration and exposi-
ton would be great benefit to the ma
tional capital from business standpoint
is the belief Of many. It is also believed
that it would be far more economical
for the United States government to
hold the celebration and exposition here
at the time of the canal opening, for
wherever the exposition is held Con
gress will be called upon to appropriate
large sums to aid in the construction OF
buildings for the exposition. The gov
eminent could erect handsome struc-
lures here for such use with the under
standing that after the exposition was
completed they should be used by the
government departments. The plan, it
is said, should certainly appeal to the
economists in Congress.
Having been forewarned and being
thoroughly alive to the situation, New
Orleans has proceeded with business
spirit which gives assurance of success.
It is clearly the duty of every citizen
of Louisiana to contribute his influence
and as much of his means as possible to
this exposition which promises to be one
of the greatest events in the world his
tory of civilization and progress.

GIVE US A REST ON BROWNS.
WILLIE.

The Atlanta Constitution says: 1t has
again been determined, this time by a
military court of inquiry, that the
troopers of the Twenty-ffth regiment
colored, shot up" Brownsville, Texas
Isn't it about time this issue, long
wrangled over, be regarded as closed
chapter, and remembered only for the
inescapable lessons it offers?
Investigation after investigation, us
ually instigated by uniformed Or pre-
JUDGED zealots, have corroborated the
finds of the original Roosevelt inquiry,
Further hearings serve only to con-
firm the first verdict and to needlessly
incite dissension and antagonism.
The main significance of the Browns
vile incident is that the army is nc
place for negroes.
If the government is determined tc
keep them in the army, regardless of q
dozen costly warnings, the logical as
signment for negro regiments is some
where where the eternal and inevitable
tension between the white civilian anc
the negro in authority wifi not have op-
portunity to project its mischievou:

TOO MUCH RESTRAINT INJUR
IOUS.

Winnifred Black, in Arkansas Gaz-
cite: DR.. E. H. Arnold of New Haven
says that little girls are too good to be
healthy
Curvature of the spine, says the dos
tor, frequently results from sitting ii
certain position in school, and eight
girls are thus afflicted to one boy
That's because the boys are so full
of deviltry that they won't sit still, nc
matter what the teacher says ; but the
little girls are SO anxious to please
teacher that they sit still-too still
and get curvature of the spine.
There, now, girls, you see what you
get for being too good.
l never go into modern schoolhouse
in a big city without wanting to stir
things up.
We brag about Our schools, and OUT
o1ogies, >and our isnls, and we turn
out children with curvature of the
spine and ST Vitus dance and every
disease conceivable that comes from
too much restraint and too little com
mon sense.
1t is a crime to make growing chill
drtn sit like statues in their seats just
to rest the nerves of a cranky, ill-tem-
pered school teacher
It is trying to be in the room with
a lot of restless, shutting, noisy chill
dren.
It's a good deal more trying to have
curvature of the spine. And any teach
er who is co nervous that she Simply
can't stand it" to see the children fidget

THE WORLDS PANAMA EXPO
SITION.

The citizens Of New Orleans have
been aroused to action in their efforts to
secure the Worlds Panama Exposition
Proceeding on practical lines they have
organized a stock company with two
hundred thousand dollars in the treas
ury to cover the expense incident to the
raising of FIVE million dollars. An APP
peal to the citizens Of Louisiana IS being
made and to this there should be the
most generous response.
Of all the cities contesting for this
exposition, New Orleans is the best sit
uated. The Caucasian has been advised
from New Orleans that the estimated
outlay is between seventeen and twenty
million dollars. The cooperation Of the
Federal Government is looked upon as
assured, and the direct and prompt as
sistance of at least twenty-five States
IS counted upon as a certainty.
This is encouraging.
1t may be stated incidentally that
Washington, the capital Of the Nation,
may figure as a strong competitor OF
New Orleans. At least this is the view
