ANDREW a. BRUCE.
Associate Justice.

The late Chief Justice Morgan was
one of those rare men who by simple
kindness and honest worth have been
able to enthrone themselves in the
hearts of the people. He was abso-
lutely without pride and absolutely
without ostention. He knew no malice
and he knew no guile.
He was one whom suffering en-
nobled. and whom honor did not
spoil He had a clear. ethical vision
and simple sense of right. He was
good judge because he was simple.
honest and sincere and he was much
beloved by his fellowmen for the same
reasons. His legal opinions will long
be read and admired for their sim
plicity and clearness of vision and his
life will long be remembered for its
simple honesty and human love.

Morgan. Mayor McClory designated
when the Masonic bodies and Elks
lodge of this city of which he was a
member will unite with the citizens in
a memorial service to which his many
friends over the state are invited.
The great esteem in which Judge
Morgan was held is exemplified In the

for the late judge. This afternoon ar
mittee from the Bar association. the

day at the same hour as the funeral.
Many are expected here from over the
state and the details are being we'll
planned so that all who can not at
tend the funeral in Wisconsin can be
accommodated in Devils Lake.
Many expressions of sympathy over
the death of this beloved man were
made in Devils Lake today. Ex-Sena-
tor Andrew Stde said:
Judge Morgan was my closest per-
sonal friend and his great good will
always be cherished in my memory.
Only a week ago I received letter
from him in his own hand writing.
He was looking forward to returning
home and has sent for time tables"
Mayor McClory said:
II met Judge Morgan the first time
in June, 1883. and that acquaintance

that has continued during the thirty
years since, and l feel his loss as a
personal one. He was a man of the
highest honor and always had the
: courage of his convictions. He hated
sham and pretense wherever encount-
cred. Nature endowed him with a
fine legal mind and he had the rare
faculty to discern the meat of any
question presented and to do substan-
tial justice. What l have said only
expresses the opinion of all the other
citizens of this district who had the
privilege of his acquaintance"
Attorney Silver Serumgard said:
Judge Morgan was as fair. accom-
modatfng, courteous as any man who
ever occupied the bench. He had
fewer cases reversed than any man
who ever occupied the bench. Over
seventy per cent of his decisions were
sustained the next best average being
siXty-one per cent.

When death takes a good man.
and great soul passes. we shrink AT
the sudden realization of what we
have lost. We shall know Judge
Morgan no more in this life. but we
cannot help but remember him as
one who lived not in vain. l feel that

than others and that it is proper that
/ should speak of him now that he
has gone. For more than thirteen
years ] practiced before him, first in
the district court and afterwards in

his power for good was great. He
was always of god cheer but ever at
tentive to his work. He rose to the
highest office in the power Of the
state to bestow, that of chief justice of
our court. He did his duty always.
The state is better for his having
lived"
F.. w. Mann said:
Il don't believe that there was ever
a man. a pioneer of Devils Lake and
Ramsey county who was more thought
of than Judge Morgan. Our people
feel the loss of a good man deeply
'and no expression would be too good
for this esteemahle character"
A. NJ. Powell said:
An honest man is the noblest work
of God. OF all the public servants
that North Dakota ever had, that
quotation applies to Judge Morgan
better than to any man ] have ever
known
Henry Hale said:
AN that is we'll and good can not
express the high esteem in which !
hold Judge Morgan. The highest
tribute that might be paid to a man
is none too good for him"
Judge John F. Cowan said:
The hand of death has taken our
brother. friend and fellow citizen. Yet
it would not he his wish that We
should idly mourn the loss great
though 1t is. His was a life of action,
purity and love and we can best show
our deep respect for the simple. kind

friend by earnest effort to live UP to
