Man who Leaves Imprint.
1T is characteristic of our civilization
that we do not pass lightly over the death
of such man as Andrew Rosewater."
said Or Ioveland, after reading few
verses of scripture. And 1t is character
istic of Americans that at such a time they
forget all the small things of life. We show
by this how much nearer we are to tho
ideal brotherhood of man than some other
nations. We are even prone TO forget such
things as religious differences; we brush
from our memories anything of political
platforms and disagreements. and today we
come not as Jew nor Gentle, not as Cath
olic nor Protestant. but come as men,
as human brothers. to put flower on the
casket Of Andrew Rosewater.
