was apprehended by the police on Tuesday
while prowling harmlessly about the neigh

depot yesterday morning, while route home
from a brief visit to his sister, Mrs. Levina
Hutchinson, of this city. His nephew, Dorman
Davidson, was setting in the seat with him, and
the old gentleman was apparently in his usual
health and spirits. Suddenly he gasped for
breath and passed into semieonscious
state, death resulting within few seconds,
the supposed cause being paralysis of the heart.
Mr.. Noble was born near Greenwood in March,
1900, and never removed from the vi
cinity, He was twice married, the first
time to a daughter of DR.. Candy, who
died in 1852, and by whom he had
six children, all of whom survive
him, viz: DIR. Thomas Noble, Rev. Samuel Noble,
Noah and John Noble, and Mrs. Grafton John
son, all of whom live near Greenwood, and Mrs.
Sarah Ritchey. OF Franklin
Mr.. Noble was the surviving member of fam
lily that was unusually prominent in the history
of Indiana. There were six brothers: Lazarus
Noble, receiver of land office, who died at
Brookville in 1925; Thomas g., who was sheriff
and clerk of Wayne county, and who died in 1859
or 60; James, United States senator, who died
In Washing ton i'll 1928, Noah, Governor of Indi-
1912, and DR.. B. J. Noble, who removed to In
dianola, Ia, and died in November, 1879. The
funeral services will be held at Greenwood, to-
morrow but the intermeut will he at Crown

There will be inferior limitations of successful

quality of the American goods completely super

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
Douglass is a force. His life stands for
something. Great in intellect, greater in the
admirable use of it, greatest in his labors for
his race and the sincerity of his purposes, he
stands a big and complete man, and ranks
with the greatest of the nation. He. is not
the result of accident, for he nodded and
fashioned mere accidents into living results.
The old man, eloquent and true, is an ex-
ponent of the degradation. the uplifting, the
hopes, ambitions. possibilities, aspirations
and traditions OF the American black people.
His life reads like a romance, and is to our
people an inspiration. He is the true leader
of our race, for he leads by force of character,
worth and merit.
He is one of our few prominent colored
men who have no sympathy with the machin-
atoms of cute, soulless demagogues, white
and black, who strive to set themselves up as
bosses, and who endeavor to trade the col
ored mans vote for office, He has views,
and they are not the result of expediency nor
~selfishness, but of justice and right. Being
no coward, but a Douglass" in burning
words he voices those views.
There are a few colored men, envious and
eliminating, whose owlish eyes, blinded,
possibly, by the light of Douglass's fame, af-
feet to see little to admire in this great char
acter.
This man was great in deeds before acct
dent rescued these little men from deserved
obscurity, and with honors thick upon him
he will pass away in deserved, achieved great
ness, while his detractors, jealous and en-
vious, will boot some other man who by
merit will attempt to fill his place, But there
can be but one Douglass, and all the colored
men whom Douglass has pulled up cannot
push him from the pedestal he alone occu-
pies.
The writer likes this man, not that he has
places, riches favors' and offices, for these
prizes of accident are not his; but he is adj
mired for the burdens he so cheerfully bore,
for labors so wonderfully done, for his man
hood and heroic nobleness. Why has
Douglass colored detractors? Well, the en-
vious and revengeful cur bays the moon,
and the spiteful fox spurns at that he cannot
reach. The only answer the moon can give
the barking dog is 10 shine on. This Douslass
does. EDWIN f. HORN.
