his boyhood was passed with his grandparents
in Ohio, and with two widowed aunts in Cen
terville. When about fourteen years old he was
placed by his aunts in the Wayne County Sem
mary. The late Professor S. K. Hoshour, prin-
cipal of the school at that time, said of him
''He was timid and rather verlant looking
youth. His mental manifestations at that time
were not equal to those of some of his school
mates, but his steady demeanor and persistent
application to his studies gave him a respecta-
bic position in his classes. If some knowing
genius had then suggested to me Unat the future
Governor par excellence of Indiana was then in
the group around me, L should probably have
sought him in a more busting FORM with
brighter eyes and marked head than
divers"
He remained at this school little more than
year. and at the age of fifteen was put to work
n Centerville with his elder half brother, Will
lam r. Morton, to learn the hatters trade.
During the four years he remained at the hat
ter's trade his spare hours were devoted to read
ing and begot so keen thirst for knowledge
that he quit his trade early in 1913 and entered
Miami University, at Oxford Q. He remained
at college two years One of his teachers at
that time says he was "a diligent, earnest
student modest, hut not timid plain but not
verdant; more anxious to acquire knowledge
than to display it During his stay at the uni
versity he acquired the reputation of being the
best debater in the institution. After two years
of hard study and hard fare, for he was too
poor TO pay for any board except what he could
provide in his own room, he left college and be-
gan tho study of law in the Office of the late
Hon John S. Newman ut Centervile.

'YOUNG, self-reliant, enthusiastic, full of
earnest purpose, Governor Morton was thrown
into the front of a strife in which many men
of maturer years and ripened wisdom went
down and are to-day forgotten. It can never
be disremembered that at his feet the waves
of treason rolled threateningly, and that he
walked amid dangers to the State and TO him
self, the proportions of which at this distance
seem incredible. Let it be remembered by
those who charge him with bitterness and re-
sltless hate, that his public character did not
ripen and develop under genial infi-e--.-ses
New England, with its culture, its undisturbed

Of Centervie. Judge Newman, his preceptor
says Of him as a law student: He was a very
thorough reader. and possessed in a remarkable
degree, the power Of thinking at all times and in
every place He was admitted TO practice in

he soon came to be regarded as one of the sound
est lawyers on that circuit He was never a
man of many words, but what he said Went to
the core of things. He had, in remarkable de-
gree, the faculty of applying great legal priuci-
pies to given cases, Of discarding nonessental
and getting at decisive points. When only
twenty nine years old, five years after his admis-
sion to the bar, he was appointed by the Gov
ernor circuit judge, to fill an existing vacancy on
the bench Some of Mr. Morton's unfriendly
critics have asserted that he was not a good law

successful practice in a circuit which embraced
many of the best lawyers in the State is sui.
fcient answer to this untruthful criticism Mr..
Morton served as Judge but one year. After
leaving the bench, and before resuming prae
tice of law, he went to Cincinnati and took a six
months course in the law school there Few
lawyers would have done this, aud, considering
his previous years of study and practice it may
be doubted whether there was mach necessity
for it in his case The fact that he did so was
altogether creditable to him as evncng desire
to correct whatever Deficiencies might exist in his
early education. and to perfect hims'lf in the

public men are generally estimated by their
contemporaries through their prejudices rather
than through their judgments. History waits
for the man to come to his task with I'M
biased mind and clear perceptions, who care
fully sits and analyses word and act, is able
to properly separate fattery from just ap-
proval and bigory from fair criticism and
from them all put his hero in his proper rela-
tive niche in the worlds gallery of greatness.
Future years will bring the man to do this
service for Oliver P Morton the foremost
character in the thought of the country to
day, and whose mortal part is to be committed
to the earth with all the ponp and circum-
stance wherewith grateful nation can cIothe
its grief.
I'm the mysterious laboratory of Him who
sees the end from the beginning, men are
constantly being formed and fashioned for
great crises. When the crisis comes it is not
always, nor indeed often, the man upon whom
a nation has concentrated its thought and
hope who leaps to the front and leads peo-
pile through a perilous period of their history.
The shepherd boy did not foreshadow the
future King of Israel neither did the rail
splitter the savior of his country, nor
yet the matters apprentice at Center
vile the Statesman whose future should
be so intimately inwrought with the
history and institutions of a regenerated ma
ton. In reverting to the days preceding the
rebellion the pressing thought is that saliva
ton was wrought out by hands and hearts and
brains which received their ordination else
where than in the public thought of those
years A cluster of names, such as Sumner,
and Wade, and Seward, and Loveioy, were in
the public eye and heart; yet not to them, but
to Lincoln and Grant, and Stanton, and Nor
ton, and Andrew, then comparatively if not
almost unknown, history has, and must for
ever give, the honor for strengthened Union,
a perfected government. Men are assigned,
in the economy of the world, particular and
separate duties. They are to be Judged In rela-
ton to those duties, and not by ideal stand
ards as to whether they would or would not
have been successful in discharging other and
widely different trusts. 1t is childs play to
theorize upon the character of Mr.. Morton
and wonder whether it was adapted to some
speculative problem and worse than childish
to compare him with idealists and jump to the
conclusion that he suffers in the comparison.
The true critic will inquire of the nature Of
the task committed to the hands and brain of
Oliver P. Morton, and will make up his iudg-
mont from the fealty with which he addressed
himself to that task and the results he worked
out

had been identified because its phraseology
did not suit him, but to Mr.. Morton the fact
was the all-important thing, and if he could
not secure what he wanted to the jot and title,
he accepted what he could get, and moved for
ward to the accomplishment Of the practical
rather than the ideal with resistless
force. If to be leader and statesman is
to impress ones self upon the country's Con-
stitution and laws, if it be to read ones his
tory in the nations eyes, let not Mr.. Morton
be denied admittance to that rank in the face
of the laws he has placed upon the statute
book the amendments which would never
have been englafted upon the organic law but
for his sagacity and untiring energy, and in
the presence of manifestations of mourning
from one end of the land to the other which
may fairly be said to hang the very heavens in
black.

1--WE have not the space to notice at any
length his efforts toward electoral reform
They were begun in 1873, at time when
danger from the complexities of our present
system seemed very remote. He gave to this
reform, now so universally recognized as i'm
perative, his best thought and research. The
report he made to the Senate will ever remain
a standard authority, storehouse from which
others will draw argument and plan to so
amend the Constitution as to avoid the danger
with which the country was brought face to
face but one year ago. Here again he showed
himself the wise, sagacious practical states
man.
''What he was as a friend and neighbor, the
expressions falling from the lips of those who
knew him in these relations, the tears which
come unbidden to the eyes of all who enjoyed
even approximate intimacy with him, are the
best answer. What he was as a husband and
father, the almost idolatrous devotion of his
family sufficiently asserts. We have sought
only to give the key, if possible, to his public
life, and to lead his fellow-citizens TO more
correct and juster apprehension of his charac-
ter and the motives which were the impelling
force of his career. To the patriotic purpose
to which he devoted himself he was
