tue have made permanent contributions

in the ordinary sense. it affects only his
Immediate friends and family. and while

consciousness of the pail and the more
sensible to the mystery which surrounds
life. 1t remains for the taking of Of a
potent factor and prominent figure In civic
progress to impress the whole community

population almost equally divided be-
tween two races and situated as to be
intensely permeated with a sentiment rab-
idly prejudicial TO the weaker a man OF

behalf of a despised and down trodden
people in the defense OF justice and right
and the inaienable rights Of life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness so funda-
mental in the concepts OF our republican
form of government.
