that he is stripped of his uniform

doubted ability. BY nature contro-
versialist, Mr.. Morton came to the
cabinet with many fixed ideas about
the government service. he was
practical farmer and ran his depart
ment along practical lines, but never
theless not without many squabbles.

seeds as paternalistic and on that
subject found himself in opposition
to congress.
The ex-secretary was the author
of Arbor day, April 20, which began
to be observed generally during his
incumbency as head of the depart
ment of agriculture and is now gen.
orally observed in all states. His
constant motto was to plant trees"
having 1t stamped in large letters
under picture Of a tree on his sta
tionery. He was an inveterate let
ter writer. He found keen enjoy
ment in answering the communicaA
tions from farmers and It was no I'M
usual occurrence for him to call
newspaper men into his Office to read
the answers he was writing to farm
ers, often giving out portions OF
them for publication.
The ex-secretary was exactly 70
years old yesterday. He was OF
Scotch English descent. He was born
in Jefferson county, N. Y, but his
parents moved to Michigan when he
was very young. He was graduate
of Union college, New York. Mr..
Morton was connected editorially for
a time with the Detroit Free Press
and the Chicago Times and then To-
Gated at Belleville, Neb., In Novem-
Der, 1854, where in April following
he issued the first number of the
Nebraska City News. He was elect
ed to the territorial legislature the
same year and reelected In 1857. He
was appointed secretary Of the terri
tory in 1857 to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Thomas B. Cunning
and served until May, 1851, part OF
the time as acting governor. He was
elected to congress in 1850, but was
unseated as the result Of q contest.
He was four times nominated BY
his party as governor Of Nebraska,
but was defeated each time. He was
a stalwart gold man" and had an
early falling out with Mr.. William
j. Bryan, whose political aspirations
he vigorously opposed.

BASEBALL TALK

There has been quite a good bit OF

the baseball games which are sched.
uled to be played on Decoration Day.

and the Custom House team and one
between the Maile-Ilimas and the Pu.
nahous. played in the forenoon in or.
der that they shall not interfere with
the other Decoration Day arrange.
ments.
AS far as can be ascertahed no
change is liable to be made. While
the Honoluus are willing to have
their game in the forenoon, the Male
Ilimas and the Punahous prefer to
have theirs in the afternoon. The
question will be definitely decided up
on at the meeting of the Baseball
League on Thursday evening but II
Is most probable that no change in the
time of the games will be made.
