WILLIAM SIMS.

In the passing of Major William Sims
| the state of Kansas loses an exem>
plary citizen. Pre-eminently a farmer,
he was representative of the highest
type of agriculturist. Yet he had the
ability to make success in other lines
| of activity, as was evidenced by his
management of the First National bank
of Topeka during the days Of its pros
perity. But the most active years Of his
life were given to agricultural matters.
Not only was he a successful farmer
in actual practice, but his connection
with the state board of agriculture for
ten years as secretary or president, and
his service as master of the State
Grange for number of years. made him
active in promoting the interests of
agriculture in general. Even after he
gave up actively following the pIow
the Sims farm southwest of Topeka re-
manned in possession of his family and
he enjoyed frequent trips out there for
recreation from the cares of banking,
and there he spent the last months of
his life.
While he was nominal president of the
First National bank at the time of it's
failure, Major Sims had not been active
ly in control of it's business for some
time. Age and i'll health prevented him
from giving his personal attention to
the banks affairs, and after the Letters
of Chicago sold the controlling interest
in the bank to the late c. ]. Devlin,
Major Sims gave up the active manage
ment OF its affairs, although his name
remained as its president. 1t has often
been said that had the conservative
hand of Major Sims been guiding the
bank, the disastrous crash of 1905 would
not have overtaken it.
There was nothing of the spectacular
about Major Sims. He had served in
the civil war with distinction, but he
never worked at the business of being
an old soldier. He served in the state
senate and also as a state treasurer
years ago, but never posed as
statesman. Yet he was a patriot and a
good citizen in the highest sense of the
word.

In fact, Decatur has produced more
