Senator Swanson.
Former Gov. Swanson's appois
ment to the Senate will be general!
and warmly approved. He shoul
serve as well in that body aa he did i
the House. He will be no strange
either, to the proceedings or to hi
aaaoctatea. National lawmaking
familiar ground to him, and many <
the men now so engaged are old ai
qusintancea. He will simply hang u
bia hat and go to work.
Mr. Swanson belonga to the youtj
er school of southern politicians?thi
ia to say, to the school composed t
men who have come on the scene a
actors ia public affairs since the civ
war. Maj. Daniel, whom Mr. Swanso
succeeds, served in that war, an
something of hia early prestige i
politics rested upon his ti^e recor
as a soldier. Mr. Swanson, on tb
other hand, waa an infant in arma ii
stead of a sotdier in arms atthattimc
and owes his success in polities en
tirelv to the war in which he ha
mastered the issues of his time.
The new senator from Louisiana i
of this same school. Younger than th
Virginian, he was not born until afte
the civil war had ended. He is ne1
even in the politics of his state, havin
achieved his influence within the pas
few years. And he, too, succeeds a ma
who fought for the Confederacy, am
by'his line conduct in the held first er
deared himself to his people. Mr. Mc
Enery, like Maj. Daniel, profited ii
his first appeals for office by the re
cord he had made in the war.
But, although with no war record
of their own, these men stand, o
course, by the war records made b;
their people. They cherish the histor,
of their states in all details.
What we are all engaged ia now i
shaping and executing policies for th
benefit of the reunited country. B;
their own experlnce, the younger mei
of the south know the country only ii
that condition. What they think of 1
and how far are willing to go in sap
port of it, was attested at the time o
the Spanish war, when they offeree
themselves freely to Preaident McKin
ley for service is f.he fields
The south would do well, therefore
in choosing her representatives in thi
national council, to hoid the standard
of these two men. They have provec
their quality, and are young in years
Should they make good ia their nev
places their services can be command
ed for a long time. Maj. Daniel at
Mr. Swanson's age was just begin
ning his notable career, while Mr.
McEnery at Senator-elect Sanders
age was wholly unknown to national
life.?Washington Star.
The Governor To Be Sued,
Suit for $10,000 damages will be in?
stituted this week in Richmond against
Governor Mann by J. H. Farmer.
The charges iu this case are the same
as those brought out during Judge
Mann's campaign, preceeding the pri?
mary of August 5. 1909. Farmer holds
the geverner responsible for his fi?
nancial ruin.
It will be remembered * *hat Farmer
who is a resident of Burkrile, claim
ed that Judge Mann had, in 1907.
promised him that he would act as
his attorney in some expected litiga?
tion. Later Judge Monn was engaged
to represent the other side, for which
be prepared an injunction.
The governer dees not deny employ?
ment by Farmer, bui says he forgot
lt at the time of his retention by
Akers Lumber Company and that he
w ould accept no fee from Farmer*
Riots In Texas.
Palestine, Tex., Aug. 1.?With the
State Rangers, one company of the
Capital City cavalry from Austine
and armed citizens doing police duty
at Slocum and Elkhart, the little vil?
lages are quiet foday after two days
of tbe bloodiest roiting between white
and blacks in tbe history of Texas.
The bodies of eighteen negroes were
buried io a long trench just outside
of Slocum yesterday and a house-to
house investigation is being conduct?
ed in hope that the state officials may
learn the exact number of blacks kil?
led dui ing the fighting. The estimate
runs from eighteen to forty, and al
tboegh but eighteen bodies were found
yesterday, one of the deputy sheriffs
insists there are five bodies unaccount?
ed for, which would brtng the known
dead up to 23.
It has been definitely ascertained
that no white men were killed. The
ful) extent of the casualities among
tbe negroes may never be kn arr..
Today few negroes could be found
who were seriously wounded. It is be?
lieved certain that at least a score
were fatally ahot. This leads to the
conclusion that the relatives and
friends of the blacks have shielded
the injured, in fear of arrest, or have
taken them to secluded spots where
they died.
A report that four more negroes
were killed yesterday in a woods near
Elkhart has not been confirmed.

LEE STATUE WILL REMAIN
Beverly, Mass., July 31.?Presider
Taft has approve3, without corameo
au opini n by Attorney-Genen
Wickersham to the effect that there
no provision of law by which the ttl
tue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Conf
derate uniform, can be re moved fro
Statuary Hall, in the Capitol i
Washington.
In addition to deciding the questii
on a purely legal basis, Mr. Wicker
ham argues the matter from an ethic
point of view, declaring that Lee ht
come to be regarded as typifying a
that was best in the cause to which 1
gave his services and the most loy
and unmunnurming tee pt ance of t
complete overthrow of that caus
That the State of Virginia should <j
signate him for a place in Statue
Hall as one illustriousfordistinguis
ed military service, the Attorney-Ge
eral says, is but natural and warral
ed under the reeding of the law.
Mr. Wickerahajn's opinion Wi
called forth by protests to the Prei
dent from *he Department of Ni
York, Grand Array of the Republi
In his opinion,addressed to and a
proved by the President, theAttorne
General says:
"I have read the resolutions ado]
ed by the Department of New Yor
Grand Army of the Republic,
Syracuse on June 23, and the coi
municationa of Hon. James Tann
with respect to them. The act of Jn
2, 1804, referred to, provides for I
creation of suitable structures ai
railings ih the old hail of the Hou
of Representatives for the receptk
and protection of statuary, which
to be under the supervision and c
rection of the chief of engineers
charge of public buildings ai
grounds, and the statue author I z
the President to invite each and all t
States to provide ind furnish statu
in marble or bronze, not exceeding tv
in number for each State, of deceasi
e persons who have been citiiens ther
of, and illustrious for their histor
renown or from distinguished civici
military services, such as each Sta
shall deem to be worthny of this na
ional commemoration: and when i
furnished the same shall be placed
the old hall of the House of Re pre
entatives in the Capitol of th* UniU
States, which is apart, or so mu<
thereof as may be necessary, as a na
ional statuary hall for the purposi
herein indicated."
NO LIMITATION IN THE ACT.
"It is probably true," continui
the Attorney-General, "that when th
act was passed Congress did not coi
template that any State would desi|
nate one or more of its citizens wh
were then engaged in warlike rebellic
against ths Government of the Unite
States as persons illustrious for the
historic renown or for distinguishe
civic or military services, who*
statues shonld be placed in this hal
Nevertheless, perhaps in the hope tht
what Mr. Lincoln so fittingly descril
ed as 'this scourge of war' might soo
pass away and that a reunited com
try might be realized, Congress place
no limitation in the act upon the e:
ercise of the discretion of any Stal
in selecting these persons whom
'may deem to be worthy of this na'
ional commemoration/ It is now \
l]years since the Civil WTar closet
Robt E. Lee has come to be general 1
regarded as typifying not only al
that was best in the cause to whick
al the behest of his native State, h
gave his services, but also the mo?
loyal and unmurmuring receptance c
the complete overthrow of that cause
That the State of Virginia should de-j
sigaate him as one illustrious for dis
tinguished military service is there
fore natural; that his statue shouh
be clothed in the Confederate uniform
thus eloquently testifying to the fae
that a magnanimous country has com
pletely fargiven an unsuccessful etlor
to destroy the Union, and that tha
statue should be accepted in th
nationa1 Statuary Hall as the svmbo
of the acceptance without misgivings
of a complete surrender and a renewei
loyatly, should surely provoke coop
position. But at all events, independ
ently of the question of taste, the ac
of Congress places no restriction upoi
the designation by the States of tbosi
whom they may desire to honor in thi:
way, nor does it vest in ?ny ofliela
any censorshio concerning tbe de Ag
nation of the costume in which >
statue shall lie depicted.
?'Therefore, under the existing law
I am of the opinion that no objectiot
can be lawfully made to the placing
in Statuary Hall of the Nationa
Capital of a statue of Robert E. Lee
clothed in the Confederate unitorm.'
