Portroys Lees Life

the independence Of the South
Ia move that failed.
When the Nation split in the
tragic time of 1901, Lee, after
much turmoil of mind. decided
to resign from the Union Army
and cast his lot with Virginia
and the South. His decision ac-
tually was a choice between
PHILOSOPHERS Of life-between
ethical values. Slavery, States
rights and tariff played no role
in the decision.
Lees Aim
Lee, like all Americans, the
drama reveals, wanted his
country to be the greatest in
the world. But he wanted this
power, this amplitude and
spread of material greatness to
be based first of all on the
character and integrity Of the
people themselves.
The general felt that the Ma
ton, particularly the North,
had parted from this philos-
ophy and had become deeply
involved in the Grass adventure
of creating and building, trade
and barter. considering less and
less the men involved.
Virginia, he still believed,
was interested more in the
Of men than in the
making of things. Thus his
decision to champion the
cause Of the South.
All through the war. which
the drama realistically re-
creates, the theme of Lees
tremendous struggle remains
eminent. And though the
war led the South, through
ruin and flame, to ultimate
defeat on the battlefield, Lees
principles remained firmly fixed
In his mind.
His last words to the Con-
federate soldiers at Appomattox
were that they should continue
to labor and live that these
principles might prevail in the
Nation and world.

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
(Cantinued from yesterday

The demand for water from the wells is greater now

There is a protective clause in the gift OF the land that

is expected because the government wells are deeper than
the estate wells, and could therefore ruin the estate wells
bv drawing the water level too low to be reached by the
estate pumps. It would be almost impossible to enforce
this clause because when the level is very low would be
about the same time that the demand Tor water IS gfeateSt
in the town due to a dry spell.
Damming the gut would hold back several million
gallons Of water at an original cost to the Government OF
not over a hundred hours Of bulldozer work.
The time to do such work is now that the gut is dry.
A few years ago the Federal Government. built a SIX
million capacity dam in another area on Estate Concordia.
This has been a complete failure for it retains water less
than six weeks.
I am putting my proposal to the Government again,
sincerely hoping that it meets with your approval. A few
hundred dollars spent in this direction could possible save
the water situation for Christiansted. Let us not wait to
start thinking about the water only after the well has al
ready gone dry.

tence at the rate of $1,000 per day for % days attendance,
a total of $4,000. We are holding vouchers received from
you which, if paid as submitted, would amount to $4,000
additional in per diem allowances. / am sure that you I'm
derstand our reasoning in not processing these vouchers.
To do SO would pay you a total of $4,000 in per diem
which at the rate Of $1,000 per day represents 40 days.
AS stated before our records show that there were only 81
days of actual session and to quote from Section 6(e) Of the

this office needs from you is a statement which will show
your attendance record at actual sessions of the legisla-
ture held during the period April 9 to June Z, 1856.
Your claims for reimbursement of amounts paid for
transportation which are tied in with the vouchers being
held in this office will be paid upon receipt Of the state
ment requested in the preceding paragraph.
Your vouchers covering attendance at the special ses-
sion of the legislature held between September "a and
October 8, 1856, %are4being held pending the receipt Of an
opinion from the Solicitors Office of the Department as to
whether per diem allowance for special sessions is author
lied under the provisions Of the Revised Organic Act. If
the Solicitors opinion is in the affirmative then we will
require a statement covering your attendance at this spe-
cial session which should be similar in form to the one we
are asking you to furnish in>connection with your atten-
