LEE. A movement is well under way to purchase-the boyhood home of Gen. Robert E. Lee and preserve it as a National shrine in memory of that great soldier and extraordinary man. It noteworthy that as much interest is taken in the movement among the people of the North as among those of the South. Gov. Roosevelt of New York is one of those who have consented to serve on the National Board that will have charge of the undertaking. The circumstance that the home of Gen. Lee during his active life, Arlington, one of the finest in America, was confiscated during the Civil War and became a National cometery, makes it more important that those who would perpetuate his memory by tying it to some particular spot of earth should acquire his birth place. Gen. Lee was a wealthy man before the war. He was very poor when it was over. There is no doubt, had he asked is it, that he would have been paid for the properties that were taken from him, but he did not, nor did he complain at his lot. He accepted a position as President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, at Lexington, at a small salary, said to be $1,800 a yedr, and with that meager income supported his family until he died in 1870. Gen. Lee's heirs brought suit in the Virginia courts for the restoration of Arlington and other properties that had been seized by the Government. The matter finally reached the Supreme Court of the United States, which held with heirs that the properties had been il ¥ The Govs ernment, paid > than $150,000 for Arlington, and placed a bronze tablet on the fine old residence, reciti b it wps, Gews, Iee's heme and ,giving briefly its history, including fthe account of its fllegal seizure. In a way majestic Arlington, just across the Potomac from Washington, is a very beautiful memorial to the memory of Gen. Lee, but it is so involved in Ciyil War animosities that it would be well to have a shrine to the memory of this great man that would be more intimately associated with him alone. CHRISTI HERALD TAKES OFF MASK; IS IN POLITICS. The Christian Herald, for a half century one of the great religious papers of the North American continent, announces that it has “widened” its field with the issue of February 16. It says it will hold fast to its religious faith, “but,” it says, “we shall not limit ourselves to perfunctory expressions of Christian experience.” Following with two editorials, much involved in circumlocution, it is made plain that,the Christian- Herald will enter politics in behalf of its faith and as a guardian of the public morals as it understands them, and particularly clearly is it set forth that it will fight in the field of politics for Prohibition and against Catholicism. Referring to the restoration of temporal power In the Vatican to the Pope and the coming Ecum- enical Conferen®e, with something of its accustomed egotistical swagger, in that previously expressed “if they get any of our hide they are welcome to it” attitude, the Christian Herald proceeds: The “Papal Infallibility dogma was offi- cially proclaimed on July 18, 1870. On Sep- tember 20th the army of Victor Emmanuel battered its way through the walls of Rome and ten centuries of the Pope's temporal sovereignty were brought to an end. Now that authority seems about to be re- stored. In the implications of such a de- velopment all Protestants are concerned. Will a Papal Kingdom—however small—give the Pope a place in the ouncil of the League of Nations? Is this first move merely the entering wedge of political schemes of vaster significance? How, with the Pope the head of a government sending and receiving diplo- matic representatives, can the Roman-Cath- olic Church keep out of politics? If the Church as an autocratic and absolute mon- archy more actively enters politics, what will be the result upon the rising tides of nationalism and democracy in the Orient? These—and many other questions—press to the fore. They will receive careful con~ sideration during this year in‘Christian Her- ald. In the issue of February 23rd a first article—"The Pope Returns from Elba"—will appear. In 1930 the best correspondents that this journal can command will watch and give first-hand interpretations of the Ecum- enical Conference. ANOTHER FLIGHT RECORD. ‘The longest flight ever recorded for a banded bird was reported recently to the Biological Survey It of the United States Department of Agriculture. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 1929. It suggests the possibility, says the Biologleal Survey, that these birds, which are rarely seen on the South Atlantic coast of the United States, may cross the ocean to Europe and then proceed south. One can understand that relatives of the Marines | down in Nicaragua think they ought to have a vaca- ~[tion from the job of serving as targets for bandit | sharpshooters, but it is rather disconcerting to won- der what will be the record of that new lawfully and peacefully elected President if the Marines are brought home. The President has signed the bill making a land |grant institutions of the Alaska College. President Bunnell's Washington trip was a profitable one to our only educational institution of higher learning The kidnapping industry is one. that has been to large proportions without technical Mexican bandits have resumed the sport of shoot- ing American engineers. | A Canadian Flag. | | (Victoria Times.) | In the name of Mr. member in the House of Commons.for North Battle- | ford, stands a resolution asking Parliament to ap- |point a special bility of adopting a Canadian flag. The great majority of the Canadian people no doubt are wondering how much longer this Dominion intends to wait before she puts herself on an equality with the other Dominions and gets a flag of her own. It is certainly an anomaly that Canada, the most populous Dominion with the exception of Great Britain, has no emblem of her own. | Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Irish | Free State—and, of course, Gyeat Britain as the | senior Dominion—have their own distinctive symbols. | canada’s sole distinctive flag is the ensign adopted | for her shipping by Sir John A. Macdonald. Canadians had a painful reminder of the absence |of a national flag at the Olympic Games at Am- |sterdam last year. All the other Dominions flew |their own; but when Percy Willlams and other Can- | adian competitors startled the world with their suc- S we could not poperly follow their example. We may expect, of course, that Mr. McIntosh’s lution will produce the usual crop of objections om the fast-dwindling minority which regards the liscussion of a Canadian flag @s mnothing sort of {rank treason. We shall be told that the Union | Jack is good enough, that we ought not to have a | flag of our own merely because the other members of the Britannic Commonwealth have their own, that a move of this kind will be a step toward a ning of Empire ties, and so on. All this is nonsense. There is general agreement that the Union Jack should appear on any Canadi: design that may be adopted. This emblem typifies the union of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Canada's flag should be emblematic of the wider union of the United Kingdom with herself. Salmon, The Nation’s Valentine. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Fish is the fitting valentine which Seattle presents to the Nation today. This aftérnoon and tomorrow morning newspapers in thirty-four of America’s lead- ling eities will start an advertising campaign spon- |sored by the Associated Salmon Packers. Incidentally, radio is to rob the fish story of its personal touch. Outside Jonah's alimentation by..a whale, tales piscatorial have always been for the limited audience. And it requiréd hundreds of years for his story to gain the curreney warranted by its |size and plausibility. Tonight all America will hear |of Alaska “pinks” at the same instant. It is a fish, story to which the world may well listen over the radio and of which it should read in the advertisements, for it calls atention to an ex- ceedingly wholesome and modestly priced food. Seattle people will commend the enterprise of leaders in the great fisheries industry in promoting use of their fish products. And the city offers no apology for the fact the great national broadcast and sales campaign is based upon the lowly fish. Alaska’s silver flood from the depths of her seas has enriched the Pacific North- west in greater degree than has gold from her hills and river beds. And as for romance, have the world's “gold rushes” anything to match the ages-old and endur- ing appeal of the sea? The Creator of Standard Oil. (New York Times.) Despite his great age and the fact that he has been retired from active business for many years, Mr. Rockefeller, Sr, still holds the world as his audience. Anything he may choose to say on any subject is of interest to all newspaper readers, and by the industrial community his thoughts are re- ceived with immense consideration. Therefore, re- gardless of the merits of the fight made by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., against the Chairman of the Board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, the emer- gence of the creator of all the Standard Oil com- panies is a news note of highest importance. Mr. Rockefeller lives very quietly these days, but in nearly every, part of the world his works go mov- ing on. The great business which he founded is known wherever man can read signs. The broad human-service agencies which his wealth has estab- lished touch almost ever fibre of daily life. In the center of all these the slight figure of the eminent octogenarian is seen and felt, although except for an occasional kindly word to children Mr. Rocke- feller does nothing to solicit remembrance from the busy world in which he once was pre-eminent. To many of the greatest capitalists of the world he is the supreme industrial genius yet produced, and the weight of any word he utters on an industrial ques- tion is inevitably great. Henry Ford's new book, it is said, visions a day when no one will discuss the prohibition question. And that, of course, qualifies Henry for membership in the I Believe in Santa Claus Society.—(Macon, Ga., Telegraph.) i Even a farmer government does not seem to be above suspicion these days. There is the Bracken Government down in Manitoba being investigated and found somewhat wanting in integrity.—(Prince Rupert News.) England imports all her golf-clubs hickor: a S 'y from the United States. And, in recent years, America hn}s reciprocated by importing English champion- ships.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.) 'S Funny that those explorers who have gone to South Africa looking for the lowest form of human wes made by a fledgling Arctic tern, banded by a|life never thought to hold a hit-and-run auto driver gooperator of the Bureau at Turevik Bay, Labrador, on July 23, 1928. The bird was found dead on the beach at Margate, 15 miles southwest of Port Shep- stone, Natal, South Africa, on November 14, 1928.| This flight is remarkable not only for the distance | \covered but for the time element, as the bird could have been only four months old when found. under the microscope.—(Macon, Ga., Telegraph.)
