tmued.
Absent Since June, 1912.
In the same edition, the news
paper will print an article written
by DR.. Robert Douthat Meade, au-
thor, educator and historian of
Lynchburg, home town of Senator
Glass, who says that he is unable
to find that Senator Glass has been
present for Senate roll call since
June %, 1912, and that he believes
the Senator "one of the ablest and
most honored men who has ever
served in the Senate, would not, if
his old self, want to abuse the con-
hdence of a State which has SUD-
ported him . for so many years"
DR.. Meade, professor of history
at Randolph-Macon Woman's Col
lege, and winner of the 1943 South
ern Authors award, wrote:

whole country appreciates his sue

his gallant though futile fight in
1924 for another Endorsement of
the League of Nations by the Demo-
cratic party, stated that he was the

would prefer to have on his side.
1T is always sad to see a life
