ROBERT E. LEE: IMMORTAL
even IN DEFEAT

In DIR. William E. Hatcher's book
I Along the Trail Of the Friendly Years. ;
there is chapter entitled "Sittinp il
the Ashes" which describes the fall Of
Richmond in the last days of the Con.
federacy, and General Lees entrance
into the City on his return from the
war. just fifty-nine years ago the
Civil War came to a close. DIR. Hatchers
tribute to Lee is so beautiful that we
reproduce it for the readers of this
paper:
But ] saw another sight In con.
nection with Riehmond's fall which |
confess thrilled me a thousand times
more than all the glory of the vic
torious armies of the Republic. 1t was
q spectacle that broke upon me un-
expectedly it came while the heavens
were black with storm and the streets
we're wild with flooding rains.
What | saw was a horseman. His
steed was despatched with mud, and
his head hung down as il worn by long
travelling. The horseman himself sat
his horse like master: his face was
rigid with selfrespecting griefs; his
garments were worn in the service and
stained with travel his hat was slouched
and spattered with mud and only an
other unknown horseman rode with
him, as ii for company and for love
Even in the fleeting moment OF his
by my gate, | was awed by his
dignity. His majestic
his rectitude and his sor-
row. were 50 wrought and blended into
bis visage and so beautiful and impress

To me there was only one
where this one was there could be
,nIy one that day. and that one was

ny peerless chieftain, Robert E. Lee.
In that lone way, in the midst of rain |
Ind mud, with no crowds to hail him,
With no resounding shouts to welcome
linn; with no banners Tapping about |
him, did he come back from dis |
lstrous war. But, ali! we did not !
Know. Conquered and solitary he was,
put yet he wore invisible badges Of |
rictory he carried spolIs Of honor and !

FRIDAY. APRIL 4. 1924.
MATING FOX BrRn.
Suffolk IVA News.

lessly for State Senator Harry
F. Byrd to make up his mind one
way or the other as to whether
he will be a candidate for
Governor. Senator Byrd hasI
announced, it is said, that lie Isl
not ready at this time to en-
lig lIten the waiting throng as tol
his intentions and must ponder II
till the Norfolk convention in
June. A few months ago heI
allowed it to be announced that
he was not "tlien"a candidate
for the office, perfectly natural
thing two years prior to the
election. But at this stage the
situation has changed somewhat
aud the brilliant young statesman
is more serious about it. In the
meantime, Representative Moore
and the other tentative candi
dates are withholding their an
nouncements. Probably that
means that they will conclude
that thsre is no use trying if Mr..
Bird decides to enter the race.
We do not know about that.
The News has "huncli" that it
will be almost as easy for a
camel to pass through the eve oil
a needle" as for anyone who led
the forces against the bond issue
to be nominated for the govern
orship next year. We base that
opinion upon oar belief that the
present pay-as-you-go plan will
fail, or at least show it's weak
ness to such an extent as to lead
the taxpayers and voters to re-
pudidate the policy. During 1924
the slowing down of the road
building program will not be
very preceptible, but in 1925 it
will be in full swing and then
woe to those who gave bad advice
to the voters. Senator Byrd was
given credit for leading the fight
against bonds. If the pay.as-you
60 plan fails, he. therefore, must
assume the blame.
Moreover. the Virginia De-
mocracy will be asked as mat.
ter of justice to let Underwater
have the next governor. There
has been rotation in Office as be-
tween the subdivisions of the
state, but Underwater has been
left out, despite the fact that it
supplies the votes that elect the
nominees of the party. This
section has bowed willingly to
others. relying always On the
sense of sustice of the voters to
be fair whenever this section
furnishes man big enough to-
fill the distinguished Office. ShsN
has such a man. one of proven
worth, ability and experience and
for that reason Underwater will
ask that she be recognized this
one time in more than half
century. Ii is a modest and Just
request that will appeal to all
fairmiuded men.
Senator Byrd is a very young
man of no particular or outstand
ing ability and who is not old
enough TO have accomplished
much or to prove his real worth
He is a young man of 6ne persona
habits and attachments and mi
time will via his spurs, but tol
date the greatest thing to his
credit, il 1t may be so-called, is
the defeat of the bond issue. He
is chairman of the Democratic
executive committee, it might be |,
said by inheritance. He can
wait and bide his time until the
greater cali for justice has been
answered. Senator Byrd and III.
candidates from other sections
would do the msnly aud
courageous things by stepping
aside and giving Underwater her

0BREGON ACTING
 AGAINST CATHOLICS
Objects to Religious Decorations
 on Homes

Mexico City, Out. 11.-In conse- ouence of President Obregon's de- mand for action by the procurator general of justice against those re- sponsible for inducing" inhabitants of Mexico City to decorate their homes for the eucharistic congress, in session here. the organizers of the congress have decided not to carry out the last two generations in their program-a procession in a large private park and pilgrimage to the Guadalupe shrine. few miles from the city.
 In his instructions to the procura- tor general the president expressed the opinion that the decoration of the houses implied manifestation of an external cult" which is explicitly forbidden by law and which he de- clared was inspired by the directors of the eucharistc congress The president also ordered the procura- tor general to take note of the num- Der of foreigners involved in the vio- lations, and demanded a list of their names and addresses.
 The archbishops attending the congress have refused to comment on the case. News of the president s action created sensation similar to ! that surrounding the expulsion from Mexico of the papal nuncio, Monsig- TOT Filippi, in 1923, and gave rise to rumors of the possible expulsion of three foreign bishops, Texan, g | Cuban and Salvadorcap. These rumors, however, are not credited in church circles.

 Ezra Goddard vowed to himself that he would drop another hint, a strong one, to Finley on the ad- visibility of keeping away from his hostess. r, Miss Mattie vowed to herself she would find out the true state of af- fairs between Nan and Mir. Finley, and if she could find the least thing to report she would hasten to her brother with the matter.
 OrviIle Kent concluded that Nan was doing wrong, and he must con- sider carefully whether to speak to her on the subject or not.
 Eva Turner promised herself to be more careful in the matter of her employers diet.
 And Malcolm Finley solemnly and roundly swore to himself that he would stop, look and listen a little further, and then, if he was satisfied that that old curmudgeon was really maltreating that darling girl, he, Finley, would settle the said. cur. mudgeon's hash--in one way or an- other! ~'

 Nonsense, you know I didn't mean anything like that. But weren't you one of her admirers ,"
 "Oh, yes-surely none but q blind man could plead not guilty to that charge! You're one yourself, aren't you? You admire her yourself, don't you?"
 "Yes-except that I think she's overly slim for a matron."
 Finley gave brief glance at the slender, lissome form of his hostess, but looked away quickly. lest his eyes finger too long.
 She sat in a swing, amid a cluster of cushions. Her small, dark head leaned back with a slight abandon, and her wistful little face was up- turned to Goddard, who stood above and behind her. One black slip pered foot kept the swing swaying d lTlll6, dllu ltI OulSpl eau lldlluS rested on the sides of the swing.
 Do stop that teetering, Nan" her husband said, pettishly,
 'I will, Douglas" and the accom- panying smile showed no trace of annoyance. She stcadied the swing, and sat motionless, crossing her hands on her lap. Her gown was of plain black velvet. trailing gar niture of fine French flowers its only ornament. She wore no jewels, save a string of pearls, and her small, delicate face, though pale, was bright and animated.
