New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-11-07
. s.Thirty."

have concluded my work IN the news
paper line for all time. What financial
interests I had in the paper have
passed into other hands. and before
many days I will be on my way to that
greatempire of the west, the Saskatche-
wan valley, and will locate in the city
of Regina where, in partnerships with
others we will have large printing
esta blishment, in connection with which
there will be no newspaper.
For something over five years have
been resident of this city and during
all of that time I have had control of
the New Ulm Review, taking the paper
when it lacked only the proper person
to preach it's funeral sermon, and in
the face of great odds have had the
satisfaction of seeing the paper placed
upon a solid financial foundation,
with constantly increasing subscrip-
ton list and an excellent patronage.
This satisfaction, meagre as it is,
has encouraged me in the belief that [
have many true friends here, and it is
only out of appreciation for their
10y atty, that I am trespassing on the
patience of readers of the Review in
writing this article. AS far as it is in
my power and the ability Of words to
express it, I want to thank the whole
hearted people of this city for their
confidence and their constant and con-
sistent defense of my character when
it was unpopular to do SO.
I have learned many things during
my stay here and among them the fact
that there is stronger friendship than
that which is secured by the ties of re-
ligion or the obligations of secret
society. There is kinship of souls
that finds it's greatest perfection in the
recognition of brother when policy
would invite turning to the other
side.
Most of US pass along the level of
time careless of the virtues that are
the test of friendship, and are battered
into security by the smiles of those
who recognize only the guinea stamp
and measure the value of a friend by
his bank account. 1t is only when
misfortune assails and the anomalies
of life disturb the smoothness of a
previous existence, that the sun of
true friendship prevails.
In larger measure than is given
to most people, it has been my lot to
pass through some of these conditio ns
and I am glad to be able to say that
there are more people in this city and
throughout the state who have exem-
plifed the spirit of friendship than one
would think it possible to find, and
this condition should make it easy for
all people ever to do the right, for
friendship is not built on creeds or
erected on solemn obligations, nor is
brotherly love founded on the doctrines
of churches or the pass words of so.
cieties, it is the essence of a principle
that has it's existence in the stability
of character, that is so far above the
foibles and inconsistencies of common
life that only they who are entitled tc
be called great can ever hope to affair
to it.
