IN MEMORY

So long as it shall be given US to
serve the readers of the REVIEW. so
long shall we ask them to join US as
each May time comes in thinking with
kindly memory Of the life and work OF
that man who freely gave OF MS
yery best heart and brain for the bet
terment of the people of this country
and to help them to higher plane OF
THOUGHT and wholesome living.
III. Fred Meyers failed in ought as
an editor it was in not regarding MS
newspaper as mere money making
agent. To him it was charge given
into his keeping to be used LOT the
good of all. His highest aim was not
to do peoples thinking for them but to
get them to think for themselves, He
was never happier then when ne felt
that he had helped to right wrong.
Strong and terse in his use OF Eng
lish, clear in his logic. forceful in ex-
preston, he was'at all times merciful
antagonist, and generous foe.
Coming to this country as poor LAD
of fourteen, forced from the very day
of his coming to work not only for his
own SUPPORT but for the support OF
others, it was only by sheerforce OF IN
tellect that he made his way, that he
gained such wide command OF this Ian
puape, that he attained 80 great know
ledge not only of the letter but OF the
spirit of.our institutions, that he became
90 intensely an American and gained
recognition as an equal from the best
men of his day.
We write to him to-day without
egotism, rather we write with humili-
alton that we have 80 utterly failed to
fill his place in any way, that we can
never attain to the greatness OF intel
lect that was his.
