| Ex-senator Morton S. Wilkinson, we'll
known by the older residents Of south
ern Minnesota, died at the home Of his
daughter, in Wells, NIinn, on Monday.

says:
| The death of ex-senator Wilkinson
marks the disappearance from the life
of this state of man Of striking person.
atty. It brings to a close a career in
public life which is essentially charac-
teristic of the period in American histo-
ry which is covered. Few can be found
today who are prepared to sacrifice their
opportunities of acquiring wealth and
distinction in their chosen callings in
their desire to serve the people in pub
lie station. In the days when the late
Mr.. Wilkinson was leading pollution,
mems ambition ran in that direction
more strongly than in any other.
The deceased gentlemen had outlived
his time. His erect and we'll proper
toned frame did not hide the lapse of
years. His love of the excitement of
politics remained with him to the last,
and his candidacy for congress at the
time when most men have laid down all
the cares of life, public and private,
shows at least that he was an ardent man
in his old age. His life gives point to
the truth that patriotic, as man may be
and DESTROYS of serving his country to the
best of his ability, his first duty is to him
self. Had the deceased gentleman de-
voted himself to the advancement Of his
private interests with half the zeal which
distinguished his public career he would
have died with a far more general and
hearty recognition of what service he
rendered his kind.
1t is TO the labors of men like Morton
S. Wilkinson that society owes its great
est debt Their names are to be found
on the roll of craftsmanship only after
search. They have played the parts as
signed to them ably and honestly, and
many of them have died possessed by
the delusion that they were destined one
day to grow famous. The spirit which
animates such men is that which under
lies the love of liberty and which led
men to matyrdom through all the ages.
