Eloquent Tribute to the Late Dr.. B
M. Palmer.

IThe Southwestern Presbyterian, Thurs
day. october 10, 1902I
Rabbi I. L. Leucht, at the Memorial
Service held last Saturday at Touro
Synagogue, paid the following elo-
auent tribute to the lamented DIR. b.
M Palmer.
After speaking of Juda Touro, whom
he compared to prince OF judah,
the speaker continued:
There lived another prince in our
midst who had accumulated great
wealth, who owned the most beautiful
pearls and precious stones, who. with
the most generous hand, offered them
to all who were poor and dependent,
and who was to many support and
sustenance in times of great distress
and trial, and who, more than any one
else | knew, bought hearts IN count
less numbers. and for whom, when he
went home, q cry of despair went
heavenward, and souls wept in misery !
All, friends there are princes Of the
blood, princes OF wealth, and princes
of the intellect and OF goodness, verit-
able kings in the realm of humanity.
Scions Of noble houses may command
love and respect by virtue of their
power, reverence and loyalty-if such
virtues are enlisted for the benefits of
the people.
"Great wealth, when in the hands
of humane men, is able to buy affec-
tion and draw toward it the gratitude
of the sufferer. But he who buys
hearts by self sacrifice by offering, at
all times, himself upon the altar Of
the love of man who carries the gold
bars of his attainments into the mint
coins, stamped with his own goodness,
among the people with marvellous
generosity; who, in Joy and in mourn
ing, is with his people; who reaches
hope to the despairing, standing like
prophet upon the highway, pointing
toward the deathless ideals Of the world.
and the more he gives, the richer he
grows, he wears the crown of victory
upon his brow. Such a man, we have
lost, in the death Of Benjamin Nor
gan Palmer, the great Christian cdi
vine, the foremost citizen of our great
commonwealth. When such men SJigI

Some of the friends Of the present
CITY Marshal are disposed TO criticlse
and condemn the present Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen for not retaining
him in Office. OF course every reader
of ours knows that in the opinion OF
this paper Mr.. Lstta is the best ponce
officer this town ever had or we
believe, ever will have. And yet
we do not in the least blame the Board
for not re-electlRg him. II there IS
any censure il should be given to the
people who elected the Board The
issue was a very plain and unmIstaka-
BILE one. Mr.. Latta was persona non
grata to the whiskey dealers and gam
blers of Columbia, and. while there
were many who were not gamblers or
whiskey dealres who voted for this
Board, they did it with their eyes
wide open, knowing that the strength
organization and munitions of war, .
were being furnished by the afore-
said whiskey dealers and gamblers;
placing the Board primarily and di-
rectly under heavy obligations to
them. 1t should not be expected,
therefore, that the Board would re-
tain Mr.. Latta, who gives their
friends and constituents more worry,
vexation and trouble, than the
balance of the force, multiplied sever
al times over, combined. They did
right by sticking to their friends and
consulting the wishes of their constit-
uents. Do not blame them. Blame
the people.who elected them.

THE INDIVIDUALS PART.

"Now that the campaign Is over
saws the Commoner, lit may be well
to call attention to the fact tnat, I'M
portant as good government is, much
remains for the individual to do No
government, however good, can save
citizen from the punishment which
follows evil doing, and no government
however bad can entirely rob a citizen
of the reward which merltorious con-
duct earns. Under any government,
however good, the citizen who is idle
and slothful will lag behind the one
who is diligent and attentive to bust
ness under any government, however
good. the citizen who destroys his
strength by dissipation will fare
badly as compared with the one
who leads temperate life; I'M
der any government however good

those who have high ideals, who exer-
else self restraint and who persevere In
their labors will surpass those who
live from hand to mouth and surrender
to appetite and passion that suprem-
acy which should be held by head and
heart.
Government may rise or lower the
general level, but the position which
any given person occupies with rela-

eral rule, more upon himself than
upon any law.
"Then. too, reform Legislation can
only be secured by cooperation among
many, while each one can reform him
self without asking the aid or consent
of any one else, just as any one can
throw himself away in spite OF all
that others can do.
without abating his interest in
political reforms. without abandoning
his efforts for social reforms, each one
can resolve to make the most OF every
talent and opportunity and. under the
inspiration of high purpose, devote
every energy Of body, head and heart
to the work Of life, finding pleasure in
usefulness and compensation in the
consciousness of duty done.

If the Anti-Saloon League people
have control of the legislature in jan
uary next, and it seems that they will,
they ought not to content themselves
with extending their protection to
towns of five thousand and under, but
pass bills that will cover the entire
state. In towns Of five thousand and
under they should have absolute pro-
hipition and for all towns and cities
of five thousand and over, they should
pass dispensary law. The open
saloon ought to be driven bodily out
of the State.

The greatest trouble in this country
is that its business affairs are in the
hands of professional place hunters,
far more concerned in holding on to
their jobs than in legislating for the
peoples good. No that is not the
greatest trouble, either. The greatest
trouble Is that the people will elect,
and re-elect, such men to office. The
argument against republican form OF
government has always been that the
people were incapable of self govern
ment. And the argument is entitled
to respectful consideration.

Coiumbia's City Marshall, whose
days the sports exultantly say are
mum bered, exemplities the truth of the
saying that mans ruling passion is

is performance of duty. That Mr..

Sunday tipplers, while others of the
force find so few, tells it's own story.
