fully said that he was both II
classical and English scholar.
TO listen to his clear, logical
speech, clothed in pure, ornate,
yet terse language was indeed
a rare treat. He was close if
not profound student and think
er upon all the socio politico-
economic problems of the day,
and his deductions and conclu.
sions were invariably in favor
of sound principles of society
and government. His convic.
tions being the result of and
based his own finely educated
and enlightened judgment and
observations, coupled with a
thorough acquaintance with the
great legal and philosophical
writer's on society and govern
ment, he was serene and conf
dent of their reasonable sound
ness if not absolute correctness,
hence he was bold in their ex-
preston upon all proper occa-
sions,ye not dogmatic or to the
slightest degree intolerant OF
the views of others, even when
apparently i'll informed.
"a man of the world, a gen.

''To say that this gifted and

be said the people of the entire
country, for William Fl. Grain
had become a national figure.
"There were many things TO
admire about the dead mem ber
too numerous to give in detail
in an impromptu tribute to his
memory, but that we'll deserved
more than passing notice in d

where the interests to subserve
concerned the general public:
