in the faithful discharge of his professional
duties and is therefore devoid of that tlt Xibil-
ity and adaptcdncss which nothing but official
discipline can largely give.
In personal appearance Mr. Bates has a
noble and commanding air. In stature he is
Of the tyre Of Mr.. Webster. His hair begins
to exhibit tokens of age. His eye beams with
intelligence from beneath massive bIows, and
his face is marked with deep thought. His
manners are those Of polished gentleman OF
the last generation.
In his domestic relations he is fond hus.
band and kind and indulgcnt father. He
married, in 1923, Julia d., one of the five
daughters of David Coulter, late of South
Carolina. lie had by that marriage seventeen
children, only eight of whom suIvive-slX
sons and two daughters.

mated about four miles from the City of St.
Louis, is brick mansion, SURF ounded by
mic ely cultivated gardens, and arbors, and
shrubbcry, among which the grape, which
gives name to the place, is prominent
Though he is not cXtravaGant. he lives in a
comfoi table and substantial style, brlt.ing
the man who has national reputation like
his.
His private character is eminently cxem-
plary. The pions teachings of his youth
have 5ccome the settled principles of his man
hood. Beyond the decent respect and vener-
alton for religion which politicians almost
universally affect in their outward lives he
cherishcs by daily acts Of devotion in his fam
lily, and other ordinances of religion, the SEN
timcntS of consistent Christian picty. With
the virtues of head and heart which charac-
terzed some of the early statesmen of the
Republic, he is equal to any station in the
Government which his countymen may assign
him
