A Paradox EXPLAINED.

We regret and at the same time We
are glad that Hon. w Mcdonald Lee
has seen fit to decline the proffer Of
food administrator for Virginia, par
adoxicai as his statement may sound
We regret his decision because We
feel that the government will lose the
yaluaht assistance Of a tactful. force
ful and effective agent in the import
ant work il is undertaking. We are
glad Of the manly dignifed and en-
tireN proper attitude Mr.. Lee has tax
on in declining TO serve so soon as II
appeared that anybody had the poor
grace and pitiful partisanship to make
any objection to the selection Of this
splendid Nirginian His attitude IN
being unwilling to take post of hon
or and service. even when II was free
" profiered in order that nothing
might retard the imperative work to
&C done is highly creditablc TO Mr..
Lee,
At such a tiTne as this when even
opposing parties in our politics have
obliterated for the time being their
old antagonism and all are united in
one supreme patriotic effort to be of
the largest service to his country and
to unity all people of all classes into
a powerful patriotic phalanx, 1t is a
grave reflection upon any man or any
group of men who seeks to inject his
pitiful little personal or political pref
udtceG, it matters not who that man is.
Such small partisan will so shrink
in public esteem hereafter that he will
have lost any influence he may ever
have had and sacrificed the respect Of
many who have heretofore accorded
him even the general reputation of pa
triotiSm.
Contrast with such a man the atti-
tude and the course of Mr. Lee, who is
eager and glad to serve in the hum
blest capacity and who IL serving with
efficiency and large influence, and the
antithesis damns the small part san.
