the famous John Brown who started
the civil war in Kansas nearly de-
cade before Fort Sumter was fired
upon, who led free soldiers" at
Osawatomie and who was hanged for
his raid on Harpers Ferry few
years later
Jason Brown was with his father in
the Kansas warfare and he carried
arms at Oslwatonie. He believed in
his father and had faith in the cause
of freedom. The hanging of his ia
Their and the slaughter of his brothers
and other relatives made him some
thing of a recluse and wanderer
until few years ago, when advanc-

He took up his residence here on the
farm conducted by his son.
The birthplace of Jason Brown was
In Hudson village, this county, not
more than 10 miles distant from the
place on which he now makes his
home. He was the eldest of 20 chill
dren. His father, John Brown. de-
scended from Puritan stock, was a
stern man, and succeeded in instilling
into the members of his family faith
in himself and enthusiasm In behalf
OF the cause to which he felt bound
by divine appointment.
After a varied experience in the vi

the supervision of a colony of lib

without the faintest suggestion OF a
gloating or egotistic attitude. His de-
meanor was that of a man who be-
lieved he had appealed TO the cool
reasoning faculties of his fellow men;
who felt that he had won the game
simply because he had the cards and
played them right.
A year and half before the court
of appeals knocked out the s29.240. 900
fine and remanded the Standard oil case
to Judge Lands court. Miller threw
the government prosecutors in Wash
ington and Chicago into consterna-
ton by his novel proposition that the
new railroad rate law passed by con-
gress a short time before repealed the
Elkins law and was. in fact, a procla-
nation of amnesty for all rebaters;
that the proceedings against the Stand
ard oil company were not pending at
the time the new law went into effect
and that it was too late to attempt
prosecution for alleged violations of an
act which had been repealed Miller
was not sustained in this contention.
but there were many nice legal points
involved, and before his view was over
ruled there was a great scurrying OF
district attorneys to Washington, many
conferences in the department of JUS

had thrown an inextricable spike into
the cogwheels of justice.

much to harmonic these differences
and to simplify practice. For that ne
earned the gratitude of his fellows OF
the bar, but very little OF anything
else.
Illinois outgrew its old time assess
ment laws just as it outgrew Its early
day legal practice. 1t needed ne"
system. The state authorities cast
about for men qualified to devise
better way of raising revenues. Ihey
selected Mr.. Miller as one OF four TO
undertake this work He was busy
man, with legal affairs OF his own
but again he proved soldier loyal TO
his state, and his service was one OF
enduring value. From the dollar view
point he might well have Stunned the
task.

genius and industry he possessed. They
were the lake front case, the track
elevation issue and the right to open
streets across. railways and highways.
In the Illinois Central case the courts
held, as he contended, that the bed of
navigable waters belongs to the people
and is held in trust by the state for
them.
There were complex propositions and
abstruse problems of law in this Sc
ries of cases, but the facile Miller
mind quailed before none of them.
AS readily as he had digested the little
routine things In st. Lawrence county
he became master of large affairs when
his mind was focused on them. In that
adaptation to the tasks before him he
is not unlike Elihu Root, Paul Cravath
or William Guthrie. The professional
lives of these men are the quod erat
demonstrandum of the ultimate propo-
sition that the man who comes out or

died them we'll is the best equipped to

MIR. MILLER. tackled the beef trust
! case, formidable as it was. as
coolly as If he were opening a
primer to read to a child. No tempo
rary reverses daunted him in the court
room. In this suit, as in others of
big import he had. as legal friend
of his remarked, no pride of opinion,
none of the vanity that sometimes
leads a lawyer to cling to a theory
of law which is not likely to stand the
test before the man on the bench. He
brought into play the rare gift of esti-
which the Judge would be likely to
take of the questions involved in the
suit He pressed that view for all
there was in him. For his immediate
purpose he did not concern himself
with the guilt or innocence of his cli-
ents. He could take care of that when
the time came. Instead he contended
that because the defendants had will
ingly given much of the information on
which the indictments were based,
they had thereby rendered themselves
immune from prosecution. The court
took that view of the matter, hence
the origin of the expression, "immu-
nifty bath"
In the beef trust case there was
only one judge to deal with; in the
Standard oil suit there were three.
From these three he won a unanimous
opinion favorable to the contentious
he set up, that the decision of the
lower court should be reversed and
that the s29,24o,OOo fine should not be
allowed to stand. In both instances
he left the court room pleased, but
