Thomas Bracket Reed.

The American Gar" Thomas B.
Reed is no NOR. The ex speaker OF
the National house of representatives
died Sunday morning at 12:l0 IT. bis
rooms at the Arlington Hotel in
Washington, D. @. The funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon in the First
Parish Unitarian church at Portland,
Maine, which city had been the home
OF Mr.. Reed.
Mr.. Read was member Of congress
for twenty two years. 1t is upon his
record as congressman and speaker OF
the house that his fame rests as a
truly great American statesman, and
to his memory the house has paid
remarkable tribute, one which has
been paid but to three other greal
Americans, Benton, Blaine and
Stephens. This was the adoption OF
the following resolutions offered by
Mr.. Sherman Of New York.
Resolved, that the following min
ute be spread upon the record OF the
house OF representatives:
nHon. Thomas Brackett Reed died
in Washington December 7th 1907.
For twenty two years he had been a
member of this house; for six years its
speaker. His service terminated with
the Fifty-tifth congress. Within this
chamber the scene OF his life S great
est activities were laid. Here he rend
cred his service to his country which
placed him in the front rank of Amer
lean craftsmanship. Here he exhibited
characteristics which compelled re-
spect and won admiral iOn. Forceful
ability, intrinsic worth. strength OF
character brought him popular fame
and leadership. In his depth and
breadth of intellect, with a full and
| we'll rounded development had pro-
duced giant who lowered above his
fellows and impressed them with his
power and wisdom.
"A distinguished statesman. lofty
patriot, cultured scholar and inciSive
writer, an unmatched debater, a
master of logic, wit and satire; the
most famous of the worlds parliament
! tarianS, the great and representative
citizen has gone into history.
Resolved, That in honor of the dis
tinguished dead the house now
: adjourn"
He was one of the most representa-
| tive of Americans, man OF lndOm1t-
able will and executive ability; true
| leader of men, not Schemelng un-
ScrupulOuS politician and ademagngue
but one of those rare political factors
which tend to elevate and lift. up bis
party to nObler conceptions ana nigh
er ideals; an interchangeable worker; a
character famous as d lawyer, a schol-
ar writer, an orator and the greatest
of all parliamentarianS; such was
Thomas b. Reed. He was long recOg-
nized as presidential timber and had
some ambition in that direction but
like Webster, Clay, and Blaine, fate
seemed to be against him and he died
without realizing this ideal, and like
his illuStrious predecessors he needed
not this honor to enhance his renoun,
or to add to the esteem in which he
was held in the hearts OF his country
men.
Now he has gone. His name will
Justly be given an honorable place up
on the pages of history and it will be
generally recognized that his life anC
services were legacy to mankind.
