Lee’s Birthday Celebrated.
We wish to congratulate our
High School upon its celebration
of the birthday of General Rob¬
ert E. Lee. Hero worship of
this kind we cannot have too
much. Especially is it the best
of opportunities to instill in the
plastic minds of our coming men
and womenkhe great principles
of Christian patriotism concret¬
ed in the lives of such men as our
beloved Lee
General Lee lived in those
times that tested men. and he
from ail the rest was most puU
iically and thoroughly tried, but
the most ardent supporters of
the opposing party today declare
his record safe from attack, his
life pure and hiss character un¬
touched. Duty was truly his
watchword and right his only,
desire. In the great fratricidal
conflict he occupied a position
which no Soldier before nor
since could possibly have con¬
templated. Magnificently aloof
from the rabble, like some uu
lugeuded personage natively superhu¬
man, he stood in his ma¬
jestic reserve with both armies
beseeching his leadership. De¬
cision in favor of the right, as
best he could see, placed him at
the head of the champions of the
Smith although from his thor¬
ough acquaintance with the Uni¬
ted States army he .knew their
cause must inevitably be tost,
and he fought as never man
iought. The simple r-cord of
to the imagination- He could
not because no Inan coukl. In
defeat oui hearts are linked with
his.and we but love him the more
while his later life of peace en¬
gaged the spontane ms admira¬
tion of the whole nation.
We will never cease to love our
Lee. Wc want our children to
love him also. We want his
splendid life kept ever to be their
model. To this end we heartily
commend the recent celebration
by our High School, only hoping
that next year the exercises will
be more elaborate and th.it the
whole city will attend. *
