THE DEATH OF FORD sTITH

The death of FoRD STIfH OF Cincin
natl, o., removes from the arena of
Ohio politics one OF the most remarKs-
bic Afro American character ever
known in it's history. He was a man
of indomitable will and untiring perse-
verance.
AS a shrewd, calculating worker he
was a marvel, and his organizing Ca
pacities we're of the most positive and
successful kind.
Treschery was thing unknown to
him, and his friendship was a boon
which many craved. His word was
his bond and = promise made would
pass as current among those who
knew him as gilt edge paper" in the
business articles of the world.
As a husband and father, he was
kind and indulgent. No wonder then
that multitudes FASTENED to do him
honor, and political foes paid to his
remains the proper respect.
To the query of who will take his
place." comes q multitude OF confused
words from which no Ineligible an
swer can be framed. He has gone t.
join the silent majority.
We admired and loved him in life
We honor and praise him in death
hoping that at the expiration OF the
few years of life now left to us we may
grasp his glad hand and receive hiI
welcome plaudits upon the shores be-
yond.

In England there are many fees to be

There is a retaining fee. which Is

after five hours, the brief fee being sup

while $40 must be paid TO the lesser
lawyers
According to English etiquette, no
counsel can leave his circuit to plead In
another without a special retainer.
which, in most cases, cannot be less
than 800 guineas This is probably TO

was so sensible of this that ON one occa
