STATE OFFICIALS.

The Madison Democrat continues to
deal out facts for the state administration
on the "Roster job" Among the
many things they speak of in their
issue of Dec. 18th is the following:
Democracy does not consist in
defending public wrongs even when
committed by pretended democrats.
1t is utter nonsense, besides being akin
to a crime, to attempt to defend the
conduct of several state officials in their
shameless efforts to load the expense of
running their personal organ upon the
taxpayers of the state. There is no
record at all of anything so scandalous
before in the history of Wisconsin
government, and although the officials
engaged in it hold Office by virtue of
democratic votes their conduct is
exactly the reverse of democracy; and
publishers of party newspapers do the
party great harm when they seek to
defend such conduct The great demo-
cratic party cannot support, defend or
be a party to public wrongs. 1t must
insist upon integrity and honesty in the
ranks of Its officials or it cannot with
force, or favor, demand uprightness
from the officials of the opposite party.

A WELL SPENT LIFE.
''Grandpa" Cotey Passes Away in
his oath Year.

1t is very seldom, that the sad duty
befalls us of writing the obituary of
person who has existed for almost
century. "GrandlE." Cotey was one of
those fortunate or unfortunate persons
who belonged to family possessing
longevity, which coupled with good
habits on his part, gave to him the
privilege of living life of uncommonly
long duration. He died of old age and
was able to help himself until the very
last. He died as he had lived, with
perfect faith in God and his teachings.
This was a case where death was truly
welcome. He had lived out his useful
ness and preferred death to life. His
devoted wife who is ten years his junior
is still quite we'll and active and mourns
his death greatly. This aged couple
have lived together devotedly since
their marriage in 1929. a term of sixty
four years. They raised family of six
children, one son, Capt. j. L. Cotey
of this city, and, five daughters, Mrs.
John Arpin and Mrs. Jos. Dugas, of
Grand Rapids; Mrs. G. a. Corriveau, Of
Centralia; Mrs. q. Turcotte, of Holyoke,
Mass; and Mrs. P. Smith, of Drum
mondsville, Canada, all of whom survive
him. These children were devoted to
their parents and their every want was
gratifed. Mr.. Cotey's declining yeats
were blessed with love, affection and
his every wish satisfied.
LOUIS Cotey was born at st. Francis,
Canada, November 1st, 1900, and died
in Grand Rapids, Wis, Friday morning
December 18th, 1898, aged 93 years-one
month and fifteen days. His early days
were occupied in numbering which he
followed until 1856, when he moved to
this city where he has since resided.
In 1929 he was married to Miss Marie
Biron also of st. Francis. In addition
to the six children above named, his
descendants comprise A grand children,
100 great grand children, and 3 great
great grandchildren, 147 in all, all living.
One brother, resident of Canada, also
survives him.
In the closing hours of this well spent
life we are told he was in hearty accord
with the poets thoughts when he
penned the following lines: Borne
"Where the morn shall wake in gladness,
And the noon the joy prolong.
Where the daylight dies in fragrance
Mid the burst Of holy song;
Where no shadow shall bewilder,
Where lifes vain parade is DER,
Where the sleep of sin is broken
md the dreamer dreams no more;
Where the bond is never severed
Parting, Clasping.-soo and moan.
Midnight waking, twilight weeping,
Heavy noontide-all are done"
The funeral service was held at the
Catholic Church Sunday morning Rev.
Beyerle officiating. a large number of
relatives and friends paid their last
respects to one whom they had learned
to love for his manly qualities.

Clarence l.. Powers.

The Milwaukee Telegraph contains
the following item of news of c.. L.
Powers who years ago resided in the
twin cities:
Some times the telephone tells tales
that are warped. Here is case.
Clarence l.. Powers, of the Journal,
lives at Whitefsh Bay, where he built
house last summer. He was booked
for some out of the city work. Mr..
Nieman telephoned him from his resi-
dence on Royal Place telling him he
wanted to see him at the office to give
him instructions before train time.
Some one on the line heard the talk
and understood Mr.. Nieman to say that
he wanted to see him at the office as
soon as possible, as he wanted to give
him the bounce. The story was told to
a newspaper man and one of the
papers announced that Mr.. Powers had
left the Journal. Mr.. Powers was met
with the story upon his return to the
city at the end of the week. Be sure
that Mr.. Nieman will not bounce
Powers, who has been with the paper
five or six years, is graceful and in
dustrious editorial writer, and has q
nose for news that makes him very
valuable. He was a boy soldier in the
37th Wisconsin, and a good one AS
soon as the war was over he went to
teaching and stuck to that calling until
1872, resuming again in 1876 and con-
tinuning until 1880. From 70 to rs he
was superintendent of schools for
Wood county. He taught graded schools
in Walworth, Waukesha, Manitowoc
and Washington counties and held a
state certificate. In 1880 he established

Times and later of the Ashland News.
His best editorial work has been done
on the Milwaukee Journal.
