EXCEEDED THE LIMIT
Picture of Southern Chieftain
on Whiskey Barrel
SANCTITY OF FAME INVADED
Name of Robert E. Lee Desecrated
BY Rum Makers

Robert E. Lee whiskey. This, as
we understand it, Is the latest ad-
dition to the liquor mans galaxy Of
titles. The label bears not only the
name OF the great commander but
gives a picture of him mounted on
his famous horse, Traveller. Laws,
so as we know, are not applicable
to such matters. The maker OF
whiskey can select any name he
choose. He can invade the sanctity
of any institution, even the church
itself IL he cares to do so, TO secure
attractive brands. General Lee had
no Iowa for intoxicants. A drop OF
strong drink never passed his lips.
For himself and for others he dread
ed its effects. For imtemperance as
for all the forms of human depravity
he was pronounced in hisopinions.
In word and deed he sought to be
true to the highest and noblest
standards. Purity Of life, holiness
OF purpose, honor, dignity, and re-
tinement are some OF his attributes
which we love to admire and which
history is proud to record. Upon
the walls OF our homes and great
public institutions are his portraits,
under each OF them his we'll know
signature. In State capitals and in
the hall of fame in Washington are
sculptures OF him in stone,' marble,
or bronze. No Southerner considers
his home complete without a picture
of him. Wherever we go we want
TO see him before us a reminder of
what true manhood really is. But
none OF us want to see him adorni ng
a package OF booze. Knowing how
repulsive intoxicants were to him.
we cannot with patience consent
to let his name and portrait be used
in such connection. When we look
around us and study what intemper-
ance leads to and recall the hideous
record of its ruin we feel that to
attach to it in any way the name OF
Lee is all but sacrilegious.
II to advertise his deadly wares
a distiller can besmirch our
countrv's dearest memories, he can
despoil our sacred book and debase
their sanity records. Aye, even the
holiest OF our shrines he can modest
and use it for debauchery. Ifwhat
we honor most in men offers no bar
rier to his greed, where shall we
find in sacred institutions anything
to check him.-Roanoke World.

FACULTY PETITI0NED
TRUSTEES OF W. [. o.
In Interest of Retaining DR.. Denny
AT Head of School


President Denny received from
members of the faculty the follow
ing letter, submitted to the trustess
of the University at their recent
meeting:
AS members OF the faculty of
Washington and Lee University we
have heard with deepest solicitude
OF the efforts that are being made by
the authorities of the University of
Alabama TO secure your services as
president OF that institution, We
should regard your resignation as
the greatest loss that could befall
Washington and Lee at this time.
We all recognize that you have done
notable work here during The ten
years of your presidency. The rum-
Der OF students has increased three
fold, the endowment has been al
most doubled, the plant has been
put in high state of efficiency, and
the entrance requirements and
standard OF scholarship have been
materially advanced.
We realize fully the great op-
portunities for constructive work in
State University which has be-
hind it the resources OF a great
State like Alabama, but we firmly be-
iieve that Washington and Lee has
an equally great future in its dis.
tinctive field. and we lcok to YOU to
continue TO direct its DEVELOPMENT
along the lines you have so wisely
marked out. Under your presiden-
cy the faculty of the college has
worked in peace and harmony to a
degree that obtains ia few college
faculties. While individually we
have differed from you at times in
matters OF detail, we have always
gived you our loyal support on es-
sential questions OF policy. and we
promise the same loyal support for
the future.
We feel that we have no right to
ask you to make any great pecuniary
sacrifice in remaining here, and we
wish you to know that we will be
glad to see the Board of Trustees
make any increase in your salary
that they may deem wise and expe.
dent.
We trust that reasonable feeling
OF pride in what you have here ac-
complished, the strong sentiment of
loyalty which we know you feel for
the college and your faith in it's fu-
ture will in the end prevail in keep
ing you here, and that you will con-
tlnue for many years to devote your
energies and abilities TO the up-
building OF Washington and Lee"

THE cause of the present

found In the UNCER-
TAIN ATTITUDE of our gov
eminent toward currency, tariff
and corporation legislation. Bust
ness has grown with such proper
tons and is held along such great
lines that it DEMANDS THE
UTMOST OF STABILITY, and
so long as those who are engaged
in business enterprises are unable
to forecast or judge under what
conditions they will be made to
operate JUST SO LONG will
we have BUSINESS DEPRES-
SION, UNCERTAINTY AND

for our business men by the Consular Trade
Reports. The farmer gets everything from
free seed TO medical treatment for sick an
imals Would it be revolutionary to help
out the railroads?
The Department OF Agriculture has eX-
detrimental stations. Let us have an eN-
detrimental station in railroad economies.
The government would develop valuable
inventions and discoveries I'm its railroad
laboratories, as it does in it's laboratories
Of the Department of Agriculture. Still
more important would le the testing OF
inventions and methods put forth by 9TH
ers and bringing the best practice and
discovery to the attention Of the railroads.
There are to-day "A thousand and one un-
used methods and Inventors Of value. They
are not used because railroad mon do not
know Of their existence. because no single
railroad can afford 10 try them out or be-
cause the inventor or discOVere. cannot
bring them 10 the attention Of the right
men. \ similar condition applies TO foreign
improved practice unused because it is
unknown to our railroad operators. The
government should do all this work of in
