Pioneer Pastors
Labors Are Ended.

From The Monmouth Daily Atlas:
Rev. William c. Withstand, a
veteran Presbyterian minister of
this city, died at 2:30 o'clock this
morning at the family home, 7o3
West Boston avenue. He had been in
failing health for the past fifteen
months and during the past ten days
his condition grew worse rapidly until
the end Of today was not unexpected.
Mr.. Withstand was taken sick dur
ing the union revival meetings here
just fifteen months ago. Being a man
we'll along in years he did not rally
but seemed to fail gradually. Ten
days ago his condition took a rapid
change for the worse and since that
time his case has been regarded as
hopeless.
Mr.. Whisnand was one of the early
residents of Warren county. Many
years of his life was spent in the
mission fields of North Dakota and
it was there that he was ordained a
member OF the Presbyterian ministry.
Compelled to give up his work six
years ago on account Of poor health
he has since resided in the Maple City.
BORN IN INDIANA.
The deceased was born near Bloom
ington, Ind, May l3, 1884. His faith
er was a farmer and oil of the young
mans early years were spent in that
occupation. In 1856 the family moved
to Warren county and seven years
were spent or a farm here. The fol-
lowing year was spent in town after
which Mr.. Withstand moved to Piper
City. He was postmaster for several
years but left his work to enter the
mission work in North Dakota. So
For twenty-five years Mr.. Whis-
nand continued actively in his work
and he gained great success. Much
of the time was spent in the vicinity
ofsHope. He gave up his charge just
six years ago on account of poor
health and has since resided in Mon
mouth.
He vas married twice. His first
marriage was to Miss Sarah E. Gra-
am of Bloomington, Ind, on May %,
1854. The wife died on Oct. Is, 1872
leaving two sons who are still living.
They are William G.. of Wenatchee,
Wash, and Robt. b. Withstand of
Hope, N. D. His second marriage
was to Margaret R.. Pope of Piper
City. One son was born but he died
in infancy. The wife is still living
and will have the sympathy of the
community in her bereavement. Be-
sides the wife there are two brothers
and one sister. They are Mrs. Mar
garet Beck of this city; I. j. Whis-
nand of Bloomington and James E.
Withstand of Los Angeles, Calf.
The arrangements for the funeral
will be announced tomorrow.

Tribute
To George A. Luce

The following In Memoriam to the
late George A, Luce has been issued
by Grand Master Hager, to be read in
all lodges of this grand Jurisdiction:
"Our Past Grand Treasurer, George
A. Luce, is no more. From even
before the dawn which ushered in
our Grand Lodge, Brother Luce was
a faithful craftsman in the quarries
hewing the stones that helped to
build the structure of our grand body.
In the Grand Lodge of Dakota Terri
tory, we find him as q member, and
from the birth of the Grand Lodge OF
North Dakota in 1899. to it's last COM
munication in June 1905, he was a
constant helper to Masonry, and all
its higher interests.
Death came slowly to him. He saw
it's shadows creeping closer day by
day. For those he loved, his wife, his
children, and his friends, a dread fill
ed his heart; but for himself he extend
ed the manly hand of fortitude, and
said: "Thy will not mine be DONE"
To his faithful friend, M. w. Bro.
Louis A. Jacobson, Past Grand
Master, who was with him when the
ice crept into his blood, he babe good
bye as Re felt the chill, and told him
to give the parting word to all his
friends; and to his old friend, the
grand secretary, he sent a kind fare
we'll. To those of kith and kin, he
gave a parting hand-clasp as though
his journey was to be in physical
scenes. No towards heart can face
the end with looks 81 calm, or words
as kind as those which marked the
falling of the curtain between the here
and the there on the last act of Broth
err Luce's life. And what Mason does
not ask, with the Psalmist, when he
stands on the brink of the unknown:
''For there is hope of a tree, if it be
cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that the tender branch the reof will
not cease. But man dieth and wasteth
away; yea, mar giveth up the ghost,
and where is he?'

In Vacation.

School is about to close and in a few
days there will be several thousand idle
children in and around Washington. What
is to become of them? They will play to
their hearts content and they will make
great deal OF noise. They will be in the
streets and on the lots and all over the
house. Mother will wear that anxious look
that comes from multiplication of her
worries and father will secretly wish, after
time. that the school year ran equally
with the work year.
1t is a pretty big problem to readjust
matters Immediately upon the close Of
school, to find occupation for the young
sters which will not prevent them from
properly resting from their artuous mental
tasks of the past few months. Many boys
are anxious to go to work as soon as school
closes, but it Is not altogether easy to find
in occupations that are at once desirable
and profitable. The girls are even less for
tunately situated. They can help out at
home, however. tending baby or otherwise

Sd wearisomey upon mothers shoulders.

Municipal Reform.

Two city elections held in November 1905.
were promptly challenged for fraud In
New York Mr.. Hearst disputed the claim
OF Mr.. Mcclellan to the mayoralty GER
tlhcate and In Louisville the leaders of q
movement for the redemption of the town
from ring rule asserted that the ring had
again robbed the people of their right to
govern.
In the New York case matters for a long
time looked unpromising for an investiga-
ton. 1t seemed likely that nothing would
come of the point raised by Mr. Hearst
There were those who asserted that Mr.
Hearst did not really desire an investiga-
ton: that politically. there would be more
for him in posing a martyr than in over
throwing Mr. Mcclellan. But at last we
have the recount bill. and we should shortly
know something of interest on the allega-
ton that the democratic victory was OBJ
tained by swindling at the polls.
The fusionists at Louisville moved
promptly. but as the court processes were
slow. fear existed that interest In the con-
test would wane. But 1t did not The
champions OF honest government not only
kept up the fight. but would not surrender
even when the first court appealed to de-

gin anew their outrages upon the persons
and property Of the wealthy landowners Of
the interior.
The lower house could have done nothing
else than refuse to suspend the accused
members. Had 1t yielded to the premier's
demand it would instantly have ceased to
exist as a legislative body. as surely as It
has since by virtue of the cars ukase. For
IL the ministry could secure the suspension
OF the fifty-fve delegates merely by accus-
ing them of revolutionary designs, 1t could
at will secure the elimination st any time
of any members whose presence In the
duma was unwelcome. 1t could In short,
by the simple device Of bringing indict-
ments. prevent the sitting Of any member
and thus dictate the composition of the
duma. A legislative body thus regulated
would be merely a medium for recording the
wishes of the autocracy.
1t Is better for the cause of Russian re-
form that the duma met the challenge as 1t
did and thus precipitated its formal dissO-
luton. The issue for which 1t is contending
Is thus kept alive. Parliamentary reform
cannot come through mere ukase or i'm
perial order. 1t must come from growth In
the public experience and consciousness.
Russia Is developing rapidly in this regard
and is learning Its lesson perhaps too
swiftly for safety. 1t is travelling at the
pace that often leads to chaotic conditions.

The car cannot hope to prevent the ad-

supported alone by bayonets is on an inse-
cure foundation. He has. 1t is true, wealth
cred several severe storms during the past
few years. but his success in this regard
has been due rather to the weakness Of the
people than to the strength Of his own po-
sition. The people are learning and growing
under the very process of suppression and
denial. and meanwhile he is becoming no
stronger. Rather Is he weaker. through the
disaffecton of the army. which is sullen
