STOOD BY HIS DECISIONS.
Good Words for Late Warren NJ Cros-
by Are Spoken.

When he made a decision he al
ways stood by it, for it was always
right, this was the tribute accorded
to the late Warren NJ. Crosby by E. L.
Copeland at the memorial service
Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. c. A.
This was but one of the many words
OF praise that were ELECTED at the men,
ton of Mr. Crosby's name.
Others who spoke were ]. B. Lari-
mer, president OF the Y. NJ. c. A.; H.
L. Chase, vice president; George Ler-
r1go, secretary of the Y. M. c. A; Rev.
Francis L. Hayes, pastor of the First
Congregational church, and Rev.
James Bollman of the Kansas Society
for the Friendless
Harry Pribble sang a solo following
the addresses made
Mr.. Crosby was a member of the
board of directors of the Y. NJ. C. A.
and the surviving members adopted
the following resolutions expressive of
their sentiment:
we recognize in the death of War
rem M. Crosby a loss to the city and
this association of one of its truest cit
liens and friends. The association is
deprived of mature counsel and the
ardent interest in it's welfare of a
faithful member of this BOARD.
Coming to its service in December,
1896, and from 1899 to 1903 vice
president Of the board of directors, his
interest in its work ripened with the
years. and at the time of his death he
was one of it's most active members
and most generous supporters.
In him the young men and boys of
the city had a sincere friend, and the
influence of his life will be felt for
good in the lives of many of them in
the years to come.
LAS a citizen, diligent and successful
in business, it was consistent with his
Christian character that he gave
cheerfully of his time and means to all
helpful agencies of the c1ty's higher
life.
I'm expressing its deep sense of the
loss sustained by the association in the
death of Warren NJ. Crosby and our
personal sorrow in being deprived of
his helpful fellowship, the board ex-
tends its fullest sympathy to his fam
lily in their bereavement, and directs
that these resolutions be spread on the
official records of the association

Resolved, that we, the citizens and
voters of Rush county, Kansas, being
acquainted with the record that our
member of our state senate, Fred Du-
mont Smith, made in the district court
of Pawnee county some years ago, and
also with the record that he has made
as our state senator at Topeka during
the past and present session of the
Kansas legislature and having no con-
fdence in his professions or sincerity
of purpose as a senator, and asserting
that his presence in the Kansas legis-
lature as senator from this district
while he maintains his present attf-
tude toward the people and their pres
ent interests is an insult to the people
of this district and the party which
nominated and elected him to his pres
ent position. Therefore, be it
Res Olved, that he be requested to
resign, come home and no longer seek
to prevent wise, just and benef1cent
legislation that the people of all par
ties are demanding, towit: A primary
law for the nomination of all candi-
dates for state, district, county and
township offices, including candidates
for United States senator, to be chosen
by all parties on the same day; a
stringent anti-pass law; a 2-cent pas
senger fare law; a law for the assess
ment and taxation OF property not
framed by nor for the special benefit
of Kansas railroads and a maximum
freight rate law; that we condemn the
action of the senate in excluding the
representative of the Kansas City Star
from the senate chamber as an at
tempt to exercise a censorship over
free press.
