touch Of grim humor often said to be the
surest sign of a great character. His
shreWGncss to perceive vulnerable or
salient points, his ready logic, his ability
to marshal facts, his unerring sagacity,
his eloquent utterances, his apt %illustra-
tons, make him a skillful debater and an
invincible opponent. The fugitive anec-

eastern and western periodicals are evil

Mr.. Morton is fortunate in being well
born. His father was a man of marked
ability, fine business capacity and sound
judgment; his mother, Emeline Sterling, a
woman Of rare virtues and attainments, of
cheerful disposition and very clever and
original. AS proof of the statement that
'the child is father to the man. the fol

home, aided by education and discipline,
may produce in citizens and successful bust
ness men. His love Of home, wife and
children has not been eclipsed by the
glamor of a fiat publicity. He has not
bartered the responsibility, honor and duty
of a private citizen for political ohce-not
even at a ratio Of 16 to i. His example as
a home-builder is more elevating and dig
nifying than official p~reflXes and sufiXes to
names of politicians who get Offices for
money rather than honor, as evidenced by
the balance of their accounts. His public
and private benefactiOns are investments
whose benefits accrue to the recipient. His
attitude on important public questions as
tariff, money, paternalism, Imperialism is
determined by fundamental principles and
not by the location OF the band wagon. The
public Offices he has filled from secretary of
the territory to secretary of agriculture
have sought him on account of his merit
and equipment for such positions of trust,
His victories are not the result of phenome-
nal master strokes, but the continuance of
noble, manly struggle toward the best. In
the democratic party he was both hero and
oracle until he refused to put on the "Nes-
sus-shirt of demagogism." AS a statesman
he has been the outspOken and bitter OPP
ponent of all wildcat" schemes, paternal =

found time to write a few scraps of record
in the secretary's book. Robert w. Furnas,
d.. H. Wheeler, Moses Stocking and a few
others donated numerous papers, books and
letters and the society may be said to have
had a beginning at any rate. Fees and dues
made the duty of treasurer one of many
small burdens. 1t was seen that a change
was necessary and thus came a reorganiza>
ton in 1885, on a basis of a law of the
Legislature of 1888. This made the So
ciety a state institution, allowing $500 per
year for expenses. The new constitution
dispensed with the board Of directors and
corresponding secretary. Ex-Governor Fur
mas, Prof. Aughey and W.. w. Wilson served
faithfully as president, secretary and treas
urer, respectively, until 1885, when their
places were filled by j. Sterling Morton,
Prof. G. E. Howard and Charles II. Gere.
From that time to this, fourteen years, the
society has kept these men at their posts,
only putting Prof. H. W.. Caldwell in Prot.
Howard's place when the latter went to Cal
ifornia. A change was made in 1893 which
placed the work of the society in the hands
OF one officer, called the assistant secretary
and librarian. This office is not elective as
the others, but appointive, the appointive
power being vested in the board of officers.

Scnnt Quarters.
Contemporary with the change of the work
from secretary to assistant secretary and
librarian was another change of quarters.
IIhe society had, from Prof. Towards time,
at any rate, a small room on the second
floOr of the main university building, ad-
joining Prof. Howard's lecture room. In
lS92 an additional small room was obtained
for the purpose of storing a few new papers,
which had begun coming to the society, to
be preserved. Through the efforts of Prof.
: Howard and Prof, Little a portion of the
library building of the State university was
designed for the State Historical society in
the plans. When, therefore,, the north wing
of the library building was finished so far
as the first appropriation would ALLOW the
historical society gladly took possession of
the rooms designed for it. After the north
wing was put up and rooted there remained
only enough of the appropriation to put the
tllng between the ground floor and the
second and rough plaster the room on the
ground floor and lay a pine floor. Even so,
this room presented wonderful advantages
for the work of the society. Here was a
room with over 5000 square feet of floor
space, t~ireproof and furnished, in addition,

hoped for before. The society quickly had
collection cases made for displaying such

be brought in and enlarged the shelving

the society occupied the unfinished wing

was completed.

lowed to suggest here for the first time pub
licly what it is possible to do for this and
kindred work.
This state cannot, certainly, do for its
society what Wisconsin has done. That en-
torprising state began planning for the Wis
ccEsin Historical society a $500 900 building,
which should also contain the State uni
versity library. 1t is not yet completed and
the cost will be double that. But Nebraska
can begin in a modest way to build, a lit
tie at a time, a Nebraska museum, which
shall contain perpetual exhibits of the agri-
culture, horticulture, geology and history
Of Nebraska. If a two weeks exhibit of
cereals Is a good thing, why is it not a good
thing to have a display of Nebraska prod
ucts always where the travelling world may
see it? A moments thought will show that
a Nebraska museum is a necessity, once it is
thought of. JAY AMOS
