"The deliberate betrayal Of It's trust

Thousands Of the hest Americans no

gusted with politics, and leave the af-
fairs of state and nation to the bosses,
amply financed by the interests, which
thrive and fatten under their mIsrule.
The time for careful consideration
has come. We should nAaet the issues
squarely.
The true patriotism ofHformer days
is rapidly passing away. We are be-
ginning to be dollar blind, and instead
OF devoted loyalty to conntry, now
worship gold and not lle God Of

(Contl,ibuted.)

The following letter is for the
tboughtful consideration of our large
and representative body OF the
Daughters of the Confederacy:
To the editor Of the Age Herald:
notice in the papers a project on
foot to turn Stone mountain, near
Atlanta, into monument to the Con 5
federacy and to enlist the United
Daughters of the Confederaey n
raising $2,000,O00 to accomplish IT,
AS one of the surviving veterans,
lift up my voice against the move.

that prompted it, and am sure th&t
il we coud COVERT all the mountains
in the late Confederate states Anto
monuments they would not be q
memorial worthy Of those who lala
down their lives for the cause we
loved and lost.
But in view Of the destitution and
inexpressable needs Of suffering hui
manity in this great world war
aside from the fact that there are
still surviving veterans OF the war
who need help, is it right to pass by
these perishing and needy ones to pay
tribute to the dead heroes, however
much we love and honor them? What
would our peerless chieftain and
Christian leader, Robert E. Lee, say
to it?
-r onJ +aDderness Of his loving
heart he would point his fingers to
the world of suffering women and
children and would say minister unto
these. Though he be dead, he yet
speaketh. AS one who knew him
personally and loved him with a love
passing the love of woman, l cannot
but heed the call Of his life in seek
ing to oppose this great and costly
enterprise.
