GENTLE IN REPR0oF
General Lees Real Kindness Of Heart
Made Manifest on Such
Occasions.

There are some new, or, at least. un-
familiar stories of Robert E. Lee IN
Gamaliel Bradford, Jr.'s articles on
Lee After the War" In the South At
lantic Quarterly. Lees methods OF re-
proof were peculiar to him. A stu
dent was once called to account Tor
absence. "Mr. M. am glad to see
you better" Lee said to him, smiling.
But, general, l have not been sick.
"Then am glad you have better news
from home" But, general, l have
had no bad news" "Ah, took 1t for
granted that nothing less than sick
ness or distressing news from home
could have kept you from your duty"
In the same vein was his remark to
a student who had been late for pray
ers. "Mr. Page, will you kindly give
my compliments to Miss - and ask
her If she will please have breakfast
little earlier for you?" To a negligent
student he said: How is your moth
er? l am sure you must be devoted
to her; you are SO careful Of the
health Of her SON."
Summoned to Lees Office, lad was
told that only patience and industry
would save him from failure in col
lege and in life. "But, general, you
failed" the student replied. with
sophomore inaptitude. II hope that
you may be more fortunate than l."
was the quiet answer.

Gentlemen" said Rutherford. this
is a very serious indication of the
gravity Of the situation. If young

the cause of George Gormly, it means
that he'll have following among that

W. /. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Should obtain Publicity by a
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot 60 back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method of the present ma
tional administration Is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which Is a backward
step. There should be no limit to
corporation doing a large and legiti
mate business, such as would be pos.
sible under the licensing plan which
/ favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts. in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big. perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
or They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made SO clear.
plain and definite that It could not be
misunderstood. It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public &C
countaint There should be board
Of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just az our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc
torates Of these companies.
