life in kind deeds for the community
wherein he had cast his lot, and where
he remained. Four noble, talented boys
were born in the home, and no honor or
opportunity Of fortune could tempt Mr..
Morton to give up that home. This
was another characteristic: tenacious
fidelity to family and friends, and to his
own ideals.
He had very passion for loyalty,
sincerity, direct dealing. Some under
lying moral energy helped him to fill
his life with accomplishments that
blessed the community in which he
lived. Between honesty and dishonesty
in commerce and politics there was
wide gulf fixed He never tried to
cross it, and the rope-walker who at
tempted it for the spectacular effect
excited his temperamental scorn. He
was preacher Of truth, and his words
and phrases had a biblical force and
nakedness that made lies squirm.
1t is likely that the tendency of life in
America will defeat the plans for an
ancestral estate, but for at least gen.
GRAFTON or two Arbor Lodge will be the
home of Mortons, and the whispering
pines that owe their existence to his hand
will still guard the wide-porched house
of the man who built it and loved it
and it's meaning.
The Conservative, 1902-05-29
From Sarah B. Harris, Lincoln.

Mr.. Morton deliberately renounced
ease and the comforts of fully settled
community, for a little house on the
prairies and the opportunity to be of
boundless influence and usefulness in q
new community.
The prairie grass billowed round his
home, and the young man and his wife
were homesick with gazing on the dis
tant horizon, view unbroken by trees
or by any perpendicular lines, except
the four angles of his own cabin. But
a courage and faith like that of George
Washington sustained them. Mr..
Morton's belief in the future of Nebras-
ka never faltered. He became the states
foremost citizen; he made Arbor Day
national occasion, and thousands of
trees are now in bud that would not
have been planted if Mr., Morton had
not spent his time and energy and Gre
ative inspiration in inducing settlers to
"plant trees"
He loved his fellow man, spent his

From John Dewitt Warner, New York.
From 1S99-when, at Reform Club
conference held at New York in prepar
alton for taking up the Free Trade
issue, we found j. Sterling Morton one
of our coolest, most aggressive, and
most resourceful allies-till when, after
a most conspicuous career in Mr.. Cleve
lands cabinet, he left active politics, I
know of no man who better typifed the
ideal American citizen - this in his
shrewd and practical character, and his
many -sidedness, as we'll as in his high
standard both for public and private
life.
He had meanwhile become known to
us as first of those who called our at
tention to the importance of our Arbori-
culture, and, by Arbor Day in connec-
ton with school celebrations, enlisted
the coming generation in the cause.
His Democracy was not merely of the
highest type, but of the old-fashioned
sort-as scrupulous to keep its own
skirts clean as to expose corruption out
side-seeming, indeed, to prefer, if
Americanism was to be misrepresented
by our officials, that they should not be
Democrats.
In his death we have lost a Noble
Roman in the best sense of that term.
From Frank Cooper, Kansas City, Mo.
J. Sterling Morton was in my opinion
one of the ablest and most remarkable
men of his time. Coupled with ideals
and conceptions of life so lofty as to be
almost poetical, he had withal thor
oughly practical knowledge of men,
methods and affairs, which was always
reflected in his conversations, writings
and undertakings.
While he will be remembered, loved
and celebrated, principally, no doubt,
for his founding of "Arbor Day" and
for his many private virtues, appre-
ciate him most for his distinguished
public services as Secretary of Agricul-
ture. That department. was then in it's
infancy, in it's formative period, and in
establishing it's policy, with an eye
single to the good of his country, he
stood like rock against both the
assaults and Establishments of designing
men in high position. His strength and

Ex-Governor Morton was one of the
chief promoters of forestry in this
country. The founding of Arbor Day,
his most conspicuous service, has not
yet begun to show it's full results. 1t

From James M. Pierce, Des Moines, la.
A man of great worth has passed
away. He achieved no distinction in
the barbarous ways which the world
recognizes as the principal paths to
glory. He was not chief Of any con-
quering hosts. He led no mighty armies
to splendid victory. He desolated no
homes, nor ravished by fire and sword
any land. He found his work upon
greater heights than these-the advance
ment of the arts Of peace. His efforts
were put forth to make this a more de-
cent and comfortable world-to render
it more habitable for enlightened and
civilized people. He was constructive,
conservative, always sane, and able, and
honest, carrying with him constantly

join in this tribute of respect to the
memory Of j. Sterling Morton. 1t was
my good fortune to see much of him in
Washington between the years 1898 and
1897. His was strong, rugged charac-
ter He detested shams and was out
spoken in his criticism Of cowardice in
public life. He seemed to know no such
thing as fear. He rejoiced in opposi-
tion, trusting to reason to carry convic-

monument of uprightness. He never
sacrificed a conviction for political ex-
pediency.
From James Denton Hancock, Franklin, Pa.
Mr.. Morton was by nature reformer
not of that class which mistakes
vague and ill-considered experiment for
reform, but upon practical lines and
under conditions which appeal to the
best Judgment of the most intelligent
and cultured people. While he was
kindly in his Judgment of men, he was
intolerant of error and falsehood. This
caused him to be independent both in
politics and religion.

JAPAN FEARS
RICE FAILURE
SHORTAGE OF CROPS CAUSES
ANNGETY-CHGNEsE STUDENTS
SUFFER SETBACK.

TOXIC, August 2G.-Gloomy fore
bodings regarding serious shortage
in the rice crop of Japan continues to
grow. The Bank of Japan calculates
on a shortage of from 10 to Is per cent.
while other estimates place it from 20
per cent upward. Several foreign firms
are said to have already contracted for
large quantities of rice from Rangoon.
The normal yield of rice is valued at
about 60O,O00,0 600 yen, and if the short
age should reach so per cent the aail-.
able supply would not nearly suffice for
Japans 100000 people. The Goern-
ment reserve available for purchasing
rice abroad is stated at only about 70,
100000 yen, and thus the cause of the
current anxiety is obvious The wea-
Their continues abnormally cool and
rainy.
Foreigners in Japan are again agitat-
ing their rights under the new treaties.
The matter of arbitration of article IS
of the treaties touching taxation is
preceding slowly, the authorities hav-
ing decided to submit the matter to The
Hague Tribunal and having decided on
a joint protocol
The Chinese Minister at Toxic, Tsai
Chun, recently refused to grant an APP
plication made by some of the many
Chinese students here to indOrse the
documents necessary before the stu
dents can ge admitted to certain Japa-
nese schools. 1t seems that most of the
youths educated in Japan are fired with
reforming" ideas and return to China
to put them in force, greatly disquiet-
ing the conservative authorities there.
The students on being refused their
request by Tsai Chun, sent a deputatiOn
to demonstrate, but the Minister refus-
ed to see it, and when the deputation
persisted called in the police and turn
ed over the whole committee to the law
In consequence the Japanese authorities
deported to China two of the leaders
of the student movement, one of whom
escaped temporarily and tried to COM
init suicide
The incident has created a sensation
in the Chinese colony many of the stu
dents announcing an intention of re-
turning to China en- masse and petitions
have, it is said, been sent to the Chi
of Tsai Chun. That Minister is also
reported to have sent in his resignation
but the belief is that while his action
may have been wanting in tact in it's
method of execution, he is only carry
ing out the wishes of his Government.
The sympathy of the Japanese is with
the students but the more conservative
journals are using the incident to urge
greater thoroughness in the education
of Chinese, SO that crude SOcialistic
ideas ma not alarm the Chinese autho-
rites and induce them to check the pre-
sent system of sending their youths to
Japan.
