REVIVING OLD ISSUES
A correspondent in a recent is- I
sue of The Star (name forgotten) I
defends the policy and propriety ri
of placing Gen. Robert E. Lee as n
Virginia's choice in the Hall of p
Fame in \Vashington. These n
are the fellows who always set up t
the whine and sometimes the d
howl that we are waving the a
bloody shirt-that we refuse to ti
let bygones he byh.ones. I
charge that thely are persistently II
thrusting something under our
noses which we are obliged to
smell and which is unl)leasant
and often insulting. Then if we
protest they cry that we are re
viving the old war feeling. They
the the fellows who will not let
by-gones be by-gones.
They talk and write as if the
world began with reconstruction
of the rebel states. They con
veniently forget al that provoked
reconstruction, made it necessary
and justified it. Had as it was
it was a bad alternative or a
worse one. Who made it nec
essary? The South was offered
a much milder reconstruction
than they had to take later and
refused it, and time has shown
that it ought to have been far
more severe than it was After
the rebel armies surrendered the
rebels rushed back to Congress
and proposed to do with their
votes what they had failed to do
with their guns. They said if
we are not out of the LUnion, we
are in it. If we are in it, we are
entitled to representation in Con
gress.
The North said: "Not so fast.
Some guarantees must be given
that you will act in good faith."
"We decline to give them Now

said the South. I guess they
did see it. \\Vith their sullen in
solence they prov,\ked the pati
ence of the North, and Nc.gro,
governments were organized
which soon lid what \\as neccs
sary. Some rebels who~ had the
good sense to reconstruct thenm
selves advised this and aided in
it. The thirteenth. ifn rteenth
and fifteenth amenlmctnts were
legally adopted,. and it was
thought that the rebels had 1bee
sufficieintly reccnstructed.

in the hall of Fame allotted to
Virginia. Jefferson Davis is d
chosen by M1ississippi to orna- I
ment a great battleship named r
in hcnor of that state and built
,by the United States. Virginia
could not honor Thllomas Jeffer
son, who wrote the Declaration
of ludependence andl helped to
foundt a government which Lee
tried ty: destroy. After Virginia
became a partisian to slavery the
Declaration of Independence, de
claring all men free and equal,
did not sound well in slave-driv
ing ears. Lee would suit them
better and give the man oppor
tunity to offend the North.
Blenedict .\rnld gave the best
part of his life to the .\merican
cause. but at last he deserted to
the Iritish, andl thereby became
a traitor, and has been so held
ever since. Lee gave the best
