The editorial to which the writer
OF the above letter refers was that
on THE Lee Mansion" published
in The Herald of August >. 1t
reads:
Everyone throughout this coun-
try. North and South, should surely
indorse the movement to make the
Robert Z. Lee mansion at Arling-
ton a fitting memorial. 1t is not
dilapidated. 1t is in good repair.
but II is far from what il should
be. II should be completely reno
waited. and made beautiful inside as
II Is in its architecture. II should
be furnished so far as possible
with what can be gathered of fur
nishings that were Gen. Lees, or
of his family. 1t should be in every
feature typical OF the South of its
day.
The building and, so far as pos
sible. the immediate grounds should
be screened from any obtruding
view of monuments and graves.
The mansion should be as little as
possible a part of or an adjunct to
the cemetery. As far as may be
it should be a beautiful example
of the old home of the Southern
gentleman and a memorial of the
then owner, who came from civil
war, with honor, dignity and as an
American Of Americans.
AS 1t is, it is not a credit to this
government, or people. The only
approach is through the seeming
ly endless rows upon rows OF
graves. The magnificent view
from the front over the wooded
hills and valleys, the city Of Wash
ington and the windings of the Po-
tomac. is broken in the foreground
by obstructing and intruding monu'
ments to the dead. Inside 1t If
barren. empty, hollow, depressing
There should be something at Arl'
| ington and this should be the Lee
mansion, which carries measure
of solace, which speaks of homo
life, of family bonds, OF what Ii
sweetest, truest and best in oui
national life. 1t should tell of the
home for which soldiers died anc
that home preserved. should sho"
that they have not died in vain.

Back to Buffalo Bill DAYS

INCLE SAM has another bison problem his hands.
" Not long he fretting because the buffalo
sliding out of existence Now he's fussng with the same
puzzle from another angle.
Too many buffalo babies.
Bison herds heard about the antrace suicide stuff
somebody preached Result 500 bison calves a year,
and birth rate climbing steadily upward.
THE dark day of the bison has passed." says Dr. f. W.
Nelson, chief of the United State biological survey
But the dark day for your Uncle Samuel is just breaking
"As matter Of fact continues DIR. Nelson, with the
present rate of increase 1t may become problem in
few how shall for the buffalo the national
preserves"
Those prehistorans who feared the extinction of the
bison may sit back and let the taxpayers hustle
and buy more pasturage for the buffalo.
This is exactly what Dr. Nelson wants the government
TO do-buy few thousand Yellowstone park
for the rapidly growing buffalo family
Congressman yelling, of Utah, has introduced bill in
congress appropating 100000 for the purchase of
hison-stocked island in Great Salt lake He says If
Uncle Sam doesn't take this buffalo herd off the
hands they'll all be auctioned off to sportsmen many
already have been, for shooting at $500 head
And this is what may be coming to-back to the
Buffalo Bill days when every boy again may dream of
hunting the buffalo.
Protest against staging these buffalo hunts has been
made the United States department of agriculture
halt the shooting
The buffalo is something of white elephant.
It be that the thing to do is to the buffalo
as preserve other prehistoric animals, stuffed,
pedestals, in museums There they'll eat no hay.
