PASSING OF A PIONEER.
Robert Scott, Respected Citizen of Lam
caster Gone to Long Rest.

Robert Scott, Respected Citizen of Lam
caster Gone to Long Rest.
Died in Lancaster, Wisconsin Oh
the 29th day March. 1908, Robert
Scott who for many years last past
has been resident of the city of
| Lancaster.
Robert Scott was born in York
shire, England in the year 1885,
when twenty years Of age he mar
ried Hester Stone who was also q
native of Yorkshire. They remained
in Yorkshire until Mr. Scott was
about twenty four years old when
| he and his wife came to America.
The lead and zinc mines of South
western Wisconsin were then pour
ing forGh their wealth of metals and
Mr.. Scott being familiar with
mining was attracted hither and
located at Benton Wisconsin, where
he became actively engaged in
mining, remaining there until he
enlisted as soldier in the Civil
war in which he served from the
time of his enlistment until it's
close.
After the close of the war mining
had no further attraction for Mr..
Scott. His children were growing
up around him and he concluded
that he could best provide for his.
family by engaging in farming.
He accordingly purchased lands in
the town OF Little Grant and began
the arduous task of reducing the
barren soil and stubborn forest to
a prosperous home. He continued
to live upon his fan and to carry it
on with the energy that always
characterised his actions until about
eighteen years ago when he retired
from active farming and turning his
farm over to his sons, he and his
wife came to the city of Lancaster
TO spend the remainder of their days
in we'll earnest rest
On coming into the city he pur-
chased a. considerable tract of land
and after building for himself a
comfortable residence he continued
to improve his property until he
had completed number of well
built cottages and converted a waste
tract of land into valuable and at
tractive city residence property.
This property will stand for many
years as monument to the energy
and sound business judgment of
Robert Scott.
His loving and beloved wife pre-
coded him to the grave by only
about eight months. To them were
born twelve children, namely: Will
liam Robert, John, George, Joseph,
Jane, Emma, Hester, Mrs. Maggie
Crawshaw, Mrs. Sarah Breithaupt,
Mrs. Mary Fisher. Mrs. Nancy
Hurlbert, all of whom survive him
but the daughter Hester, who died
in the year 1886. He is also sur
I vived by brother, William Scott,
a sister, Margaret Ann Scott, and an
uncle all of whom reside in Eng
land.
The concOurse of friends who
gathered, in spite of most incle-
ment weather, to pay their last
respects TO one whom they had
known long and well showed in
what high regard Robert Scott was
held. His loss is indeed n great loss
not only to his family but to the
community in which ha resided.
''And now farewell it's hard TO cir. thes ~
With death so like gentle sluEber on Thee
The photograph from which the
accompanying cut was made was
taken about the time when Mr. and
Mrs. Scott moved into the city of
Lancaster.

coRneRlne POLITICAL IsFoRMArio N

An erstwhile standpat editor In At
lantic complains because some rich
politicians have purchased control of a
rival newspaper property to his and
seek to monopolize the source of po-
litical information in that community.
The editor should not be discouraged.
Newspapers larger than a weekly pub
location have been controlled by loan
ing money to the men who have pur-
chased them, and an almost infinite
number of newspapers have been in
duced to fight the Gummins movement
solely by making editors postmasters.
Men who are in office will exert their
ingenuity, use the government patron
age and invest their personal fortunes
to retain their political power. The
only escape is for the public to scruti-
nize the newspaper it reads and seek
one that is edited by free men. The
anti-pass law was incomplete that it
failed to prohibit newspaper publish
ers from holding public office. The
Atlantic man, however, has his OPP
portunity to be free if he wants to be.

Down in Georgia some of the COR

THE FAILURE OF AlL,soN's LEADERSHIP.

In another column is reprinted an
editorial from the Register and Lead
err, which propounds to the Allison
press question which each news
paper must answer In this campaign
or be lost. I$t Is not new question:
but it is most significant demand
coming from publishers who have
long cherished personal admiration for
Senator Allison greater even than
their admiration for Cummins. 1t is
q question which is borne down upon
them by the facts of the Iowa situa-
ton and compels them to turn from
lifelong association to a preference for
the leadership of the man in whose
personal political fortunes they have
been, by lack of association, compar-
atively Indifferent. Will the Allison
press be as honest?

The LAST OF The BIG SIX.

1t Is predicted by Washington OBJ
servers that the almost complete
emascuiation of the Aldrich bill in the
senate has so Inundated the veteran
ruler of that body that he is con-
templating retirement. The gossip in
cludes tales of a growing revolt among
the younger members of the senate.
The various amendments were forced
upon Aldrich. and We're accepted be-
cause he could see that his bill was
lost without consenting to them.
1t is recalled that in SO, when the re-
publican majority was small, a COM
bination between Aldrich, Allison,
Hale, Spooner and Platt Of Connect
cut was formed for absolute leader
ship. Then, when Mark Hanna came
the combination, the group being
known as the Big Six. But even in
this group Aldrich and Allison were
the real rulers. Hanna died, Spooner
retired, Plat died, and finally the
strength of Allison and Hale declined
with age and illness, leaving Aldrich
virtually alone in the dictatorship of
the senate. The fate of the currency
bill marks the beginning of the end
of .Aldrich and the rule of the special
interests which he has represented.
There is growing independence man
ifest among the other members of the
senate. The flame has been famed by
La Toilette, and that is why he is so
royalty hated by the old aristocracy
OF that body.
