EDITORIALS
LOOKING BACK
TO GETTYSBURG

To the average man the great
Gettysburg reunion is mostly big
picnic. The occasion observed is
something he studied about in
school, more or less musty with
the dust of libraries.
The writer, reading the other
day, the life of Gen Robert E Lee,
found the pages dealing with Get
tysburg scribbled over with pencil
foot notes expressing the contro-
versial convictions Of some veteran.
To him and his comrades these
pages are evidently still thrilling
with live human problems.
No two veterans will ever agree
just what turned the day at Gettys-
burg. On one side Lee, audacious
a superb tacticisn. worshipped by
his matchless army whose forces
nearly equalled its opponents whom
be had repeatedly whipped. He
looked like winner.
On the other hand Meade cold,
businesslike, efficient, arousing con-
fidence but not enthusiasm with
an army equally tenacious and her
ole.
Did Lees audacity carry him too
far in sanctioning that glorious but
suicidal charge of Pickett's? Or
was it Longstreets's fatal slowness
in making his attacks Of the second
and third day? Hear the veterans
thump the tale while they argue it
out.
Although the majority of STU
dents probably blame Longstreet
Lees fine magnanimity appeared
when he said, Never mind, all this
has been my fault, it is that have
lost this fight.
What a contrast between the
reeking surgeons and barns filled
with the wailing and dying sc
years ago, and the present scene Of
summer and agricultural peace,
between the hate Of cannon and the
friendly hand shake.
May this happy reunion of heroes
do much to soften such misunder-
standing as may still exist to help
each of the various sections of our
country to see things from the 9TH
er mans point Of view.

Good saIesmanship Rewarded.


One evening just few moments be-
fore closing time an elderly man and
his wife entered a book store in New
York city, according to an American
publisher quoted in the Bookseller.
Practically every one had left the floor,
with the exception Of one clerk. The
lady wanted particular kind Of book
for most particular friend, and aft
er the clerk had spent half an hour
during which time he had taken near
ly every book out of the shelves) the
husband became impatient, not the
book clerk. He was as genial and
agreeable as though he were selling a
diamond necklace and was to receive
the entire profit Of the sale. Finally
she secured just the book she wanted.
The man was so impressed with the
salesman that he offered him a posi-
ton at $50 week more than he was
then receiving.
