speCted Citizens.
James A. McCarty, a highly respected
farmer and citizen. residing on his farm
three miles south of here, died very
suddenly Thursday last after linger-
ing illness of two weeks.

TO Miss Harriet Burkhart of Byron,
Mich. From this union two children
were born, Mrs j b. Reed and Mrs. ).
Birmingham, both well known ladies in
this community. These with the aged
wife, three brothers and one sister, are
left to mourn the loss of their loved one.
In politics Mr. McCarty was an enthu-
siastic republican, always giving his
best talents and abilities TO the support
of that party.
Early in life he became member of
the Baptist church and has ever since
been a true and devoted Christian. He
died as he had lived, trusting in the
merits of Christ's shed blood for full
redemption. By his death the COM

knew the value of every dollar of his
vast estate. 1t was the fruit Of his own
brain and of inceSsant toll. 1t was his
pride TO build a monument that should

ton, but he doubted their ability TO

An encouraging sign of the times is
that the old English customs are dying
out in this country. AS we grow older
in our independence we depart from
the forms transmitted to our fore
fathers. With each decade we adopt
the forms suited 10 American ideas.
Property rights are with the individual
and not subject to laws of entail or
rights Of progeniture. The American
capitalist builds an asylum or endows
a college as he sees fit. He looks to
the good of his race and contributes the
fruits of his life work to that end. He
selects his own legatees, and dsinher-
its whom he chooses. He exercises the
same good judgment in disposing Of
his estate as he employs in accumulat-
ing it, and so secures the best reward
for his time and labor. His benefac-
tons are a blessing TO his race, inesti-
mably greater than if his treasure was
wasted in maintaining a family name.

KlPL1NG,s DISLIKE OF AMERICANS

In a recently published letter TO a
citizen of Newfoundland, Rudyard
Kipling SAYS that there is no question
of the loyalty TO the British Empire of
all white men speaking the English
tongue, with a high birth rate and a
low murder rate, living quietly under
laws which are neither bought nor
Sold The meaning Of this is too plain
to be mistaken. 1t is equivalent to say
ing that in the United States. where
most of the white men speaking the
English tongue live, there is a high
murder rate, a low birth rate, and a
population living restlessly under laws
which are bought and sold.
Mr.. Kipling is a genius Of the first
rank, and whatever he may say of this
country cannot alter that fact or OBJ
scure his fame; but for a man who
lived for years in the United States,
who still owns home here, where his
wife was born and grew TO woman
hood, and who has been praised, ad-
mired and enriched without stint by
American readers, his attitude toward
this country is singularly ugly The
young AngloIndian authors dislike of
Americans seems to be in inverse ratio
to the sale of his works in this country
and the pleasant things which have
been said and printed about him by
Americans.
Something must have gone nightly
against the Kipling grain while he
lived in the United States. A bad case
of brother-in-law is known to every
one. Perhaps that was not the worst
of the facts.
