"Anessnt and Aaodsrn Justice"
was the subject OF a highly meritoTious
Address By Fremont Miller, of Lyon
county, and the theme was one well
suited to- his analytical cast of mind.
The central thought was the coequal de-
Yeiopnaent Of Justice and civilization,
and was elaborated ia thoroughly log
icsl manner. The method of delivery |
was highly pleasing, and the skiIlfui
method of treatment employed by the. |
speaker in the discussion of his subject
win be recognized in the following OUT
lime of his Grafton:
LOokius back through thu lorG corridor Of |
time. moro than 200 Yeas, We see q man /
traVeFsing the streets OF Athens, poor In /
purse but rich 10 mind and great In heart. |

qniFes not OF the learned, FOR Socrates found |

He was never satisfied with kis own t1eA OF |
Justice for he mAinsaIned that 1t had not yet |
been found He believed man % be able 70

with eager enthusiasm. Modern phi ilOsO- |
