A TRIBUTE.
Burton E. LeaVitt.

A Norwich friend writes to his legi on of friends in Norwich and vicinity the announcement of the death of Burton E Leavftt came as a shock and with deep feelings of sadness.
 Having been closely associated with many of the younger generation of the town in his business of producing op- eras for church societies and fraternal organizations, he, by the force of his superior mental and musical gifts, integrity of character and great ca- pacity for selecting and controlling companies in his charge, not only brought to a successful finish artistic ally, but also gained the respect, ad- mirRtion and love of all with whom he came in contact
 4 musician of hfgh rank himself, and c composer of recognized ability, with enormous powers for work, he bent every energy to the task before him. working often through the night to ac- eompIish his end. It was during his college career that he produced his first opera and from that time on his mind, heart and soul were dedicated to the art he loved. and of which he was a master. His last and greatest work, upon which he had been engaged for several years, the grand opera of Tea Te-phi, had reached completion and was copyrighted only three weeks pre- vious to his death.
 While music was his life work, being a man of broad and comprehensive ideas, he did not follow 1t to the ex- time and thought to questions of the hour.
 His home was his citadel and his life there has been one of untiring deVo- tion to those nearest and dearest to him His great integrity of character and traightforwardness of purpose gain for him the trusteesfip of large estate, which he held at the time of his death
 His work in Norwich has been in connection with the Un1versalist soci- ety. where between the years 1891 and 1906 he produced all of his operas with great success. giving the Frogs of Windham on four different occasions, eight productions of that opera alone. His latest work in Norwich was the Historical Pageant given at the 250th celebration in 1909, which was a pro- duct1on of no small merit, and he gave . similar open afr production in New London the following year.
 During his early career, when yet a boy, he played in the orchestra at the Watch Hill House, Watch Hill, with Herbert T Miller.
 From boyhod till now, not yet fR middle life, he has educated, refined and given joy to many thousands of his fellow men, not alone by his sub- lius melodies. but by his own life song, which has been one divine harmony of love, thoughtfulness and kindly deeds f0T aIi who knew him
 But he is voiceless now. A fountain of harmony has ceased. We will
 mourn for him, we will honor him, not in words. but in the language he loved

Since the formal announcement OF
Senator X. +. Echols of Elk City for
congressman at large has been made
public il is a matter of local pride
that the people of ,Beckham county
note the unanimity with which the
state press speak in complimentary
terms of Senator Echols' cOngression-
al aspirations. And the fact that
these eXpres sions have come as
voluntary tribute to man who has
demonstrated time and again his
worth in the legislative nails OF the
state, stamp the press comments on
his candidacy the sincere expression
of the sentiment of his numerous
friends throughout the state who VIII
lose no opportunity to assist in his
nomination and election TO congress.
The same characteristics which
have won for Senator Echols the good
Twill and friendship of those with
whom he labored in the state senate,
will prove of inestimable value to him
and to his constituents in the legisla-
tive halls of congress. He has the
happy faculty of making friends
wherever he goes. and no one realizes
more than he does the necessity OF
friends in promoting legislation and
the accomplishing of results. He Is
a forceful and logical speaker well
informed upon all questions OF pub
lie interest. and thoroughly convers-
ant with the needs of people of OK,
lahoma and particularly of the wes-
tern part where he has resided dur
ing the past twelve years. In short
he Is the man of all men whom the
democrats of Oklahoma can unite up
on as one of the three congressman
at large to be elected from this state.
The standard is sincere in its be
lief that a national victory awaits
democracy in the election next NO
vember The election of demo
cratic president, however, will avail
but little without at the same time
the election of a democratic congress,
both house and senate, in sympathy
with the principles of our party ana
ready and willing to put into exc
cution the legislative policy necessary
to bring about those reforms for
which the democratic party stands. IL
is therefore important that in the
selection of our candidates for con
gress we select men who are in sym
pathy with democracys motto, "let
the people rule" and men who enjoy
the confidence of the people to that
extent that we may reasonably expect
them to poll the full democratic vote
of the state.
Senator Eohols' extensive acQuain-
tance Of the state. his excellent stand
ing among the people, and his known
LOYALTY TO democratic principles all
combine to make him the logical can
didate for this position of honor and
trust. That he will win in the pri-
mary and in the general election to
follow is a foregone conclusion
