HENRY GEORGE FACED DEATH.
HE WAS TOLD HOW HIS CAMPAIGN WOULD PROB.
ABLY TERMINATE. But HE CONSIDERED IT
HIS DUTY TO MAKE THE FIGHT

HE WAS TOLD HOW HIS CAMPAIGN WOULD PROB.
ABLY TERMINATE. But HE CONSIDERED IT
HIS DUTY TO MAKE THE FIGHT.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The following must form part Of all bios.
raphies Of Henry George. and should be introduced
into all school readers an incentive to the young
TO initiate the virtue OF the wisest and noblest Of
men.
When Mr.. George was convaescing from the at.
tack which seized him shortly after the death Of his
beloved daughter. the BOOM" which had partly
died away when his sickness became known, re.
yived. Family and friends sought much and
tenderly as they could to dissuade him from ac-
cepting any nomination. Walking with me along
the Shore Road. fronting MS mouse, his hand upon
my arm, he said
Tell me- II / accept. what is the worst that u
likely 10 happen to me?'
replied Since you ask me. you have a right 70
be told: most probably 1t will be fatal
He then said: You mean that It will kill me-"
l answered. Most probably. yes"
He said "Dr. Kelly says the same thing only
more positively; he says 1t will certainly kill me:
but have got to die. and how 1 die better
than serving humanity? Besides. dying would
do more for the cause than anything that otherwise
| might be able to do in the rest OF my life."
Later. in the same conversation. he said he would
wait and see what Tammany would do: II It did
what was right, he would not accept.
Feeling that such sentiments as those Of Henry
George should be lost. but be preserved for the
elevation Of the human soul, l wrote them down
and intrusted them to Tom L. Johnson. for preser-
walton and future publication shortly after their
utterance.
When Mr.. George accepted the nomination ten.
dered him at the great meeting In the hall Of the
Cooper Union, he said:
From now until election am yours. even though
II kill me-"
And IN nearly all his speeches he showed he
knew his death was at hand, and was fearlessly
facing it for the good OF mankind.
Greater love hath no man than this that he
lay down his life for his friends"
The friends Of George were mankind. and to serve
mankind he has given up his life. Respectfully.
