the Thirty-second volunteer infantry,
was witness before the senate Phil

OBSERVATIONS
BY SARAH B. HARRIS


Untried men sometimes acquire q
reputation for great ability. That mar
Of mediocre ability is fortunate who
has lived a life Of obscurity, a life
which has not made great demands
upon him. Many kings and other
rulers have been execrated by their
times and by posterity for no more
personal reason than that they were
unequal to the responsibilities of their
birth and position, Mr.. ]. Sterling
Morton. the most widely honored citi-
zen Of Nebraska, was tried in various
conspicuous positions of great re-
sponsibility and he was not found
wanting at any time. He was repeat
edly in a position where, II he had
yielded to the tempter, greater honors
might have been heaped upon him. but
nobody knows OF any occasion wherein
he struck his colors.
He might have been nominated by
the democratic party for president II
he had only consented, not to advocate
free silver but just to suppress his
opinion in regard to the expediency Of
single standard. He considered the
suggestion a challenge to do all that
he could on the platform. with his pen
and by the use OF an extensive influ-
ence to secure the firmer establishment
Of the gold standard. AS the secre-
tary Of agriculture. in President Cleve-
lands second cabinet, he endeavored to
stop the distribution of seeds to farm
ers by congressman. a survival which
costs the agricultural and the post
Office departments millions of dollars
annually. There is everything to be
said against the custom and nothing
in favor of 1t. But Mr.. Morton's sue
sumed the distribution Of flower and
vegetable seeds. Mr.. Morton was a
farmer; he had been in Washington
long enough to know just what an
ronage from congressman would
cause. But the man, the deed and the
time were met and the expenses Of the
department Of agriculture, while Mr..
Morton was secretary. were largely re-
duced. Not that 1t has made much
difference to the country His sue
cessor reinstated the corrupt custom
and the useless employees who were
kept In the department by a pull
snapped back into 1t just as soon as a
new secretary was appointed. But the
time may come when another secre-
tary Of agriculture possessing Mr..
Norton's mental integrity and his per-
sonal bravery and self-respect may be
appointed In that case Mr.. Morton's
example will strengthen him to grid
up his loins and do battle with an
ancient wickedness.
A son of an old and well-to-do fam
lily in Michigan and graduated by
Union college, Mr.. Morton might have

He made Arbor Day a national occa.
sion, and thousands Of trees are now
In bud that would not have been
planted II Mr.. Morton had not spent
his time and energy and creative in
spiration in inducing settlers to plant
trees"
1t Is task that must be done almost
as often as the seeds are planted for
the fall harvest, the borers and the
constant heavy winds kill the trees.
Nevertheless for thirty years or more
Mr.. Morton has not had to buy any
firewood. By judicious cutting and
planting he had enough wood every
fall to make an imposing wood-pile at
the kitchen door of "Arbor Lodge"
He loved his fellow man whom he
had seen. He spent his life in kind
deeds for the community. Where he
cast his lot there he remained. He
had many opportunities to live else
where. in larger and more prosperous
communities. But when he and Caro-
line, his wife, had gone out hand in
hand to seek their fortune, they chose
Nebraska City. Four noble, talented
boys were born in the home they built
there, and no honor or opportunity Of
fortune could tempt Mr.. Morton to
give I'D the home they built together.
This was another characteristic: tena-
cious fidelity to family and friends
and to his own ideals.
He had a very passion for loyalty,
sincerity, direct dealing. He hated
trickery and the assumption of opin-
ions for the sake Of votes and dele
gated power. Some underlying moral
energy helped him to fill his life with
accomplishment that blessed the COM
munity in which he lived. In years he
was seventy-one, but in nervous en-
ergy and activity and intellect he was.

as a writer, as statesman, and as a
brave, dauntless doer of deeds. He
loved books and the life of the student,
but more than all he loved life and
doing his best in his day for his family
and his generation. He died on the
battlefield and the valkyrs recognized
the old warrior and carried him to
where the wife Of his youth and his
youngest son waited for him. And not
one for a long time has been SO sur
prised at the meaning of life and the
Inevitable recognition Of noble deeds
at the end.
Readers Of the Conservative will
miss the short editorials wherein the
talent to call things by their real
names was Mr.. Morton's unique pos
session. He was q preacher Of truth. .
and his words and phrases had a bibli-

his inspiration was deeply hidden in
