The editor reprints an editorial denouncing protests by Massachusetts posts against Virginia's proposed Robert E. Lee statue in Statuary Hall. It argues Lee fought for a principle, cites Grant’s courtesy at Appomattox, and questions the protests’ fairness versus national memory and Virginia’s rights.
