MORGAN BRYAN WHITE

Was born in Montgomery coun-
ty, Mo-, Dec. %, 1858, and died last
Thursday, May 5, 1910.
He was son OF Morgan B. White
and Mary Ann Marmaduke, who
we're among the early settlers Of
this state-than whom there was
never a grander body Of men and
women.
He was one of ten children, all
OF whom have preceded him to the
better land. Save one sister, Mrs.
Gatewood of Mexico, Mo, and
Chas. w. White, Gsenwood Springs,
Colorado.
He was married to Eliza Virginia
Layson OF Galloway county, Mo.
To this union II children were
born, eeven daughters and four
cons, all living except one. son
that died in infancy. The follow
ing children attended the funer-
al: w. G.. White, Mrs. Samuel Bar
ger of near MiddIetown, Mrs. VIM.
c. Miller of Dallas, Tex, Mrs. C..
F. Voorhees, of Phoeniz, Ariz., Mrs.
Ora Stipp, j. NJ. White, Mrs. z. A.
Hudson, Miss Mollie White and
Everett NJ. White. All OF the fam
ily were present except Mrs. T.
p. Archer OF Horton, Kan.
Mr. White was a great sufferer
during the last ten years of his
life, but bore il all cheerfully and
with patience. In fact, he had to
retire from public life about 30
years ago on account of his health.
He was kind and loving faith
er, tender, loving companion 20
his wife, faithful to his friends, a
firm believer in the Christian
faith, although he had made no
profession of that faith.
He was man OF decided and
positive convictions and scn-
firmly for whatever he thought to
be right, and followed his con-
v.ctions without fear or trem-
bling.
The funeral was conducted at
the residence of his son Morgan,
by Ed. w. A. Mclean, last Satur-
day afternoon, in the presence of
large concourse of friends and
relatives. The minister was as
sisted by volunteer choir of
friends in Wellsville. We laid him
away in his own new-made grave
in the beautiful cemetery OF that
little city, there to await the
trumpet which shall sound the
Resuyrection -of sne Dead.
He was a good man. Peace to his
ashes. We know that our God will
give to him and to each of us our
true measure of reward.
May the family be blessed in the
remembrance of father good and
true, and may his life long COM
panion, left behind, be led by he
unseen hand Of Col ua-l
passes into the unseen and eter-
nal and joins her loved ones gone
before. This is the prayer of
your brother in Christ.
/ w. A. Mclean.

in Maine alone-s triumph made pos
sible largely through republican dis
sension-save the rehabilitation and
work the reincarnation?
In no spirit of envy or derogation
as to what has been achieved or an
ticipated, we wish to call attention to
the numerous efforts wasted in the
work Of rehabilitatihg the democratic
party since 1t fell into the hands of Mr..
Bryan; since that eventful day when
he cruclfied it with his crown of
thorns and cross of gold" Fourteen
years have elapsed and in the wake of
this western whirlwind may be seen
the David B. Hills, the August Bel
monts, the Henry wattersons, the AL
ton B. Parkers and the Charles
Murphys still stunned and bruised as
the result of trying to rehabilitate the
party.
Claims of rehabilitation will do very
we'll for campaign use, but it is not
the time now to consider them as a
subject of serious fact. Not so long
as the "Old Man of the Sea" Bryan
lies concealed in the black galleys- of
the pirates ship of political despair.

Lanes Hint to Railroads.

II begins to look like the Interstate
Commerce commission would decide
adversely on the railroads plea for
the right to raise freight rates. This
seems to be suggested in a statement
made by Commissioner Lane, who
said:
! regard Il as a menace to the country II
the rates constantly are to be increased.
We must work out this problem on lines
other than by proposed methods of rails
ing the tariffs. II not, there is no time
when we may say the maximum has been
reached.
The railroads are confronted, as
they have often been and will often be,
by economic difficulties. but they
should be able to adjust these prob
lens without demanding that the ship
pers contribute the funds for II. There
is a defect in management somewhere.
Let the railroads correct It and not
impose additional burdens on the pub
lie because of it. In this connection
it is we'll to note the disposition of the
suited in the organization of the
Traffic Federation of the Middle West.
That disposition is voiced by Governor
Stubs of Kansas, who says: my hope
is that this meeting will demand from
the railroads the naked truth about
their properties" And this leads to
a Recommendation for a physical val
uation law.
The railroads are entitled to the
fairest treatment the shippers and the
government can give them. One
thing in all this controversy over rates
is significant, that when roads are
forced to reduce rates the benefits
seem to stop with the shippers; they
do not get as far as the consumer. We
are constrained to believe that the
railroad has as much right to excess
sive charges as the shipper, and that
is why whatever action is taken should
be tempered with wisdom and justice
Before the Interstate Commerce com.
mission an attorney for one of the rail-
roads asked an attorney for the ship
pers for evidence showing what per
cent Of profit the shippers we're earn
ing on their Investment, to see II it
was as low as 4.6 per cent, which he
said the railroads were earning.
1t is, all very well to protest against
excessive dividends by railroads. but
we fail to see where they are any
worse for them than they are for the
shippers 1t looks like a question Of
whose OK is gored.

Retaining the Indians.

In all it's work of retaining the In
dian the federal government has
adroitly met the difficult task of pre-
venting the red man from getting an
exaggerated sense of his own impor-
lance. That is primarily the reason
Uncle Sam has been able to do so
much with and for Poor Lo 1t is one
of the obstacles invariably encountered
in the attempt of a superior race to
raise an inferior to higher level, and
it never has been more successfully
surmounted than in this case.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Val
entine rightly emphasizes the matter
of making the Indian self-respecting
and self-supporting as the whole thing
in solving the problem of his reclama-
ton. Mr.. Valentine knows this be-
cause he knows the Indian. Indeed,
make the Indian respect himself.
Make him a man first, an Indian next.
AS Mr.. Valentine says, make him to
become a taxpayer. 1t will give him
the proper idea of his relation to the
government when he comes to under
stand that he is so much part of that
government that it must depend on
him for a portion of it's revenues. In
lifting the Indian to this high level of
useful activity the government is very
wisely doing it by allowing the Indian
to do most of his own lifting. This
breeds spirit of independence that is
most needful and healthful in achiev-
ing ultimate results. Affording him
land and labor on the land, either as
owner or wage worker, is an excellent
way Of helping him to help himself.
1--WE are making progress" says Mr.
Valentine. To be sure, we are. And
We deserve to make progress, first, be-
cause we are giving the Indian a
square deal" we are keeping faith
with him and he lis beginning to I'M
derstand this, despite such situations
as exist in Oklahoma.

Taft is Paving the WAY.

IF the republican party is unable
to go to the polls next November in
a solid body it won't be the fault of
the. president" observes the Washing
ton Post, Which is the simple truth.
If it loses because of divided ranks,
the blame must fall upon some others
than the chief executive. His official
and private acts have all pointed to-
ward peace and sane adjustment Of
differences. To be sure he has sub
ordinsted his own political expediency
to the larger task of serving the peo-
pie who elected him president and If
this has given offense, then he is
guilty. When the time comes. how
ever, that all are willing to view the
situation nationally. unblinded by
prejudice and envy from private
grudge or grievance. this fact is likely
to stand out and receive general ad-
mission.
When all is done and said about
popular leadership and popular gov
eminent, 1t is seriously to be doubted
if any president ever came SO near
the ideal as this one has, and that,
too, in a quiet and unostentatious
manner, without the least evidence of
that patronage that characterizes the
self-seeking officeholder, who strives
to please that he may continue to hold
once. No fair measurement OF the
achievements of the Taft administra-
ton can fail to disclose this fact. And
1t is getting more unpopular every day
to attempt to disguise or distort it.
The earnest attitude for business
with which the president faces the
next session OF congress, his insistence
upon Canadian reciprocity. official
housecleaning in Washington, re-
trenchment in governmental expendi-
lures. improvement in laws regulating
the relations of employers and en-
ployes-this urgent solicitude for the
serious business of the country, which
takes precedence over any anxiety as
to the results of the election. is a
token of the Taft policy that ought
to commend it to every citizen desir.
ing a sane and progressive admins.
tration at Washington. The president
is paving the way If others fail tc
to follow 1t will not be his fault.

Is it Rehabilitated2

Eastern democrats and old-time
organs are RECALLING themselves in the
fantastic assumption that the demo-
cratic party as a militant factor in
American public life has been rehabili-
tated. Some very interesting things
are being said and written upon the
subject. Orators and editors are tell
ing just how il has all come about.
In the election of Plaisred as governor
of Maine, the nomination of Wilson
and Harmon and Baldwin in New Jer-
sey. Ohio and Connecticut and the
probable nomination of Gaynor in New
York, they profess to see a resurrec-
ton from the tomb and a reincarna-
tion of the vital forces that once com
posed their party, condition of things
that is sure to produce victory in
1912, an array of leaders that must
furnish one Mt to regain the presi-
dency.
But in all eandor, is it quite time
for this rhapsody? II is really reha.
biliation, or merely the possibility OF
such? Suppose defeat instead OF vic.
tory should come to Wilson, Harmon
BALDWIN end Gaynor this fall. what
thenl Could the triumph of Plaisted
