with the queer ceremonies that have
been observed for centuries past. Says
the Pekin and TientSin Times: The

on that body of men his devotion 10
duty his lofty patriotism and his I'LL
wavering sense of honor He was d
man of noble traits. and those who
knew him best declare that he never
betrayed Il trust. never proved false to
a friendship. and never took undue adj
vantage OF AN enemy. He was very
modest, especially in the matter Of his
notable career in the army. a career
which entitled him to rank as one OF
the nations heroes.
His two terms as Speaker of the
House in the 56th and 51th Congresses,
following the retirement of Speaker
Reed. proved the close of his useful
public career. and, since 1908, he has
been much broken in health. The
closing months of his life were clouded
by the complete failure of his brilliant
mental abilities. and death came to him
as a merciful release. Mr.. Henderson
was Il native Of Scotland, and the char
acteristic Scotch traits figured promi-
nentiy in his makeup. Those who
were associated with him i'll Washing

scented affects. Alabama, Arkansas

and would reduce the representation
from rs to 81. The justice of such n

the states in question have flayrantly
violated the provisions oc the constitu-

Nevertheless, il is not at all likely that

Congress is asked to appropriate
$1,000 for Il statue to Gen. James Miller
to be erected in Peterboro, n. II. The
name OF General Miller is probably not
familiar to many good citizens. but he
was a brave old fighter who distin-
suisicd himself at Lundy's Lane and
his memory is worthy of pcrpetuation.
Before erecting a statue to him,
however. precedence should be
given to the claims Of Cen
cIal Knox who commanded the
artillery forces in the Revolutionary
war and who was the first secretary of
the war department in the cabinet of
Washington who WAS his close per-
Sonal friend. For several years an APP
preparation has been pending for the
erection Of Il statue to General Knox
at ThOlnaston and our national law
makers SHOULD not indefinitely neglect
the matter.
