NOT AN ORGAN OF THE G. A. r..

One of the arguments of the oppo-
nents of John McElroy is that The Ma
tional Tribune has without warrant as
sumed to be an organ of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Nothing can he
farther from the truth. The National
Tribune has, whenever occasion arose.
emphatica1ly denied that it was an or
gan of the Grand Army of the Republic
or that the order was in any way re-
sponsiDle for what appeared in its col
umns. The National Tribune is'a thoro-
ly Independent paper. and expresses
only the opinions and beliefs of the
editor and owners. 1t has no financial
or other allegiance to any order, party,
syndicate or association of men what
ever outside of its little circle of stock
holders. There is no more Independent
paper in the United States than The Ma
tional Tribune. While a large proper
ton of it's subscribers and supporters
are G.. a. r. men, yet it has very many
thousands who do not belong to the
Order and who are too young to have
been in the war, and this proportion is
constantly increasing as the people gem
orally become aware of its fair. inde-
pendent spirit and the value of the re-
liable, impartial news from the National
Capital that it contains. From the very
first The National Tribune has declined
to be considered the organ of the Grand
Army of the Republic believing that it
could be of much more service to the
order and to the veterans and their
widows by. occupying an Independent
position. 1t is an organ only of the
great body of patriotic people of the
country, and it's first object, intention
and purpose is to voice their wishes and
feelings on everything that concerns
the prosperity and advancement of our
country. IT is the only paper in the
country that devotes itself to steady
and unflinching support of the princi-
Piles for which the war was fought, to a
proper conservation of the results
gained at such terrible price of life
and health, and it is the only one which
constantly stands on guard to prevent
any invasion or notification of those re-
suits. 1t is the only paper that devotes
itself to keeping alive the memories of
the inestimable services which the vet
Grams rendered the country in its hour
of mortal peril and to properly remind
ing the people of this country how
much they owe the men who gave Law
ishIy of their young health and strength
to saving the Nation. 1t is the only
paper that tells the stories of the great
battles, the appalling slaughter, the
breaking marches and trials of camp
apd picket life. truthfully, accurately
and in a way to secure conviction. This
far it is an organ of the G. A. r. and
no farther.

TORRANCE PRAISES LEE.

Past Commander-in-Chief Ell Tor
rance is out in a lengthy interview
heartily indorsing President Taft and
Attorney-General Wickersham with ref
ersuce to the Lee statue. Comrade Tor
rance says in part:
"a civil war must end, and 1 prefer to
believe~that ours ended As years ago,
when Grant and Lee sheathed their
swords at Appomattox.
1.-The terms of the surrender imposed
no penalties upon the living, nor did
they call for any> discrediting of the
memory of the dead.
THE war being over, the first duty of
every patriot, North and South, was to
forget as far as possible the bitterness
of the strife, to bind up the Nations
wounds and to mutually treasure the
heroism and self-sa crifice of the Ameri-
can soldier.
Gen. Lee was one of the foremost in
this patriotic duty. and history will ac-
cord him high praise for his sincere
and unqualified acceptance of the re-
suits of the war.
THE chief objection urged against
his statue is the uniform; but to cIothe
1t in blue would be ridiculous. AS his
tory will class him among the great
Generals of his age, 1t seems altogether
becoming that he should appear in a
military uniform. If not the blue, why
then it must be the gray.
rs it not strange that opposition
should be directed against placing his
statue in the Hall of Fame and no pro-
test made to the appointment of the
two former Confederate soldiers to the
Supreme Bench of the United States? ?
1t is the duty of these two Justices to
construe the Constitution and laws of
the land in cases affecting the welfare
of all the people. If the decisions of
these two former Confederates on the
highest court in the land are accepted
as patriotic, wise and just, what possi-
BILE harm can come to the Republic by
placing in the National Capitol the
bronze statue of Gen. Lee?
1T is true that there was a time, now
happily past forever, when Gen. Lee
and his army would. if given the power,
have destroyed the Capitol; but in plac-
ing his statue in the Hall of Fame does
not Virginia renew her pledge to here
after defend that Capitol and the Flag
of the reunited country that floats over
1t every day in the year?"

THE SEMINOLE INDIANS.

We know that all our people wilIiread
with the deepest interest the excellent
article by DIR. w. s. Golden, of Immo-
kalee. Fla. Anything that relates to
Florida has now especial attraction for
our people, and the exhibition of the
condition of the Seminole Indians will
appeal to their humanitarian instincts.
The work that Is being done among
those Indians by the Episcopal Church
under the direction of that able. practi-
cal and devoted prelate, DIR. William
Crane Gray, Bishop of southern Florida,
is one which should receive the earnest
sympathy and support of every Chris
tian. 1t is work so replete with good,
common sense and practical helpfulness
as to command admiration. DR.. God
den. as Bishop Gray's representative, is
doing that which cannot help counting
immeasurably for humanity and Chris
tianity. He has devoted his life with
as much pious ingle-heartedness as
ever a man did to the practical amelio-
ration of the condition of those neglect
ed people. A skilful physician, he is

thru attacks of disease and warding off
epidemics which have been so destruc-
tive to the red men. While doing this
he has also been teaching them by pre-
cept and example habits of industry and
thrift and how to make the most of the
land in which they live. This is emil
nently the right kind of missionary

The coronation oath of the King of
England has>aroused a far more bitter
strife in that country than we have in
this over the Lee statue or other recru-
descences of rebellion. The coronation
oath, which has been taken by all of
the Kings of England for 900 years, was
formulated in the heat of prolonged and
bitter war between the Protestents and
Roman Catholics. 1t contained all the
abjurations which the ffercest of the
enemies of the Roman Catholic Church
could conceive, and it was outrageously
insulting to the Pope of Rome and all
that pertained to his Church. 1t con-
tanned also the declarations arising
from the internal strife between the
Episcopal Church and those who dis
sented from it, Presbyterians, Congrega-
tionalists. Baptists and others grouped
under the general name of Dissenters
or Non-Conformists. The fierce denun-
Citations of the Pope of Rome and the
Roman Catholic Church are particularly
offensive at this time, when the King
Of England rules over more real con-
scientious Catholics than any other po-
tentate in the world. The Roman Cath
olics of the Latin countries are not be-
ginning to be as conscientious and con-
sistent members of the Church as are
those in England, Ireland, Canada and
other possessions of the British Crown.
The declaration that the King was a
devout member of the Episcopal Church
was resisted strongly by the great mass
Of Presbyterians in Scotland, Ireland
and England, the Baptists in England
and Wales and ths Methodists all over
the three Kingdoms. The new oath
which has at last been formulated de-
clares simply: 81 declare that i am a
faithful Protestant" 1t looks as tho
this would bring peace.

ASSAULT ON MAYOR GAYNoR.

Another shocking attempt at assas-
sination startles The country. 1t is an
other startling result of the crusade of
and terrorism which the Social
lists and Anarchists are preaching in
this country. The men who preach
these doctrines are towards. and moth
ing need be feared from them PERSONAL
ly, but the unfortunate part Is that
some weak-headed, half-crazed man
takes their preachings to heart and car
ries them into practice. In the present
instance William J. Gaynor. who has
been making astonishing strides In pub
lie estimation by his efficient manage
ment of New York's municipality, was
shot down in the midst of his friends
on the steamer upon which he was leay-
ing for Europe. At the moment of the
assault he was talking to President
Montt. Of Chile. The assaiiant was
named J. J. Gallagher. and said he was
55 years old, and that he had been en-
ployed in one of the city departments,
but lost his job thru Gayncr's reforms
in the administration. He approached
from behind, and shot the Mayor in the
back of the head. AS we go to press
there are hopes that the wound will not
prove fatal. The time seems to have
come when there should be some rigid
restriction upon men preaching murder.
