greatness of General Lee as several other
handsome requests have been made to the school
was a Northern man. and not alumnus of
the university, but the gift evidently was made
as a tribute to the memory of the grand South
crn soldier and man. Robert Il. Lee.
Washington and Lee university grew out of
Ington, Va. in 1882. 1t was named for George
Washington. who endowed it with property es-
timated TO be worth $4,000. 1t received other
donations, and was from the first school of
Importance.
About the year 1887 the Virginia Society of
the Cincinnati, an association composed of the
military officers who had served under Wash
ington in the War of the Revolution, had ac-
cumulated considerable fund, and it re-
solved to donate IL to Washington college on
condition that II should be used to establish a
department of military instruction in connec-
ton with the school, The amount was $4,000.
The trustees of Washington college, in reply
10 the offer, declared that under their charter
no military feature could be added to the school,
and then the Cincinnati offered the money to the
state OF Virginia on condition that the State
would appropriate enough money to establish a
mihtaty school and to maintain 1t as a high
class institution.
The result was the founding at Lexington, on
November /, 1889, of the Virginia Military in
stitute+ which was conducted by retired officers
Of the United States army, among whom was
'Stonewallt jackson, one of the greatest soldiers
who ever lived. Many of the graduates OF this
school rose to high rank and great distinction as
officers in the Confederate army in the great
sectional war of 1861-1S65 and the school
gained much celebrity on that account. and was
known as the "Wset Point of the South"
Returning to Washington and Lee university,
after the close of the great sectional war Cen
eral Lee resolved to devote the balance of his
life to the education of the young men of the
South. and he accepted the presidency of Wash
ington college in SOS, serving until his death in
1870, when his remains was inferred under the
floor of the college chapel and afterwards
the school was named Washington and Lee.
The large hequest of Mr.. Doremus will greatly
increase the ability Of the university TO carry on
its work of educating American youth, for
Northern boys are also students In its halls and

for whom 1t was named.-New Orleans Plea

WHERE TROUBLE WILL COME.

Speaking of the cold welcome given the negro
sUffragists by General Rosalie Jones and her
faithful band the New York san sees in it
hint of the probable fortunes and fate of woman
suffrage in the Southern States"
1t does seem as II the South is doomed to
the necessity of considering the negro problem
ir connection with every other political problem
with which it has to contend, but in the mat
ter of the extension OF the suffrage the question
will loom larger in the North than in the South.
AS years go by and the negro population of the
North increases, the race problem becomes more
and more acute in that section, an evidence of
which is the sef-same incident of which the Sun
speaks. BY the time suffrage sentiment increases
to such an extent to make further postpone
ment Of action impossible the problem of negro
suffrage will enter and will probably prove
stumbling block to the cause. In the South on
the other hand, negro suffrage is no issue and
promises not to be again for years to come.
The enfranchisement of women will not result
in the enfranchisement of any considerable mum
Der Of negro women In the South, and in any
event the proportion will remain the same

Looks Well for Webb Bill

Among decisions rendered this week by the
Supreme Court Of the United States sus-
tanning the validity of the federal white slave
act Of 1910. The constitutionality OF this act
had been assailed in various parts of the coun-
try and 1t was argued that the question OF
morality was one reserved for action of the
States

state commerce may be regulated by legislation

This is the effect of the decisions. and surely

taken away from the systematic debauchery of

This decision strongly indicates that the Webb
Kenyon bin prohibiting shipment of Intoxicating
liquors from wet into dry States, is attempt

limitations. If President Taft is hesltating In
signing this bill because of doubts to it's con-
stitutionality, 1t would seem that he has lit
