Governor A. e. Mead was far moro
statesman than . politician. He was
loyal and CONSTANT republican, but
he was never narrow or selfish par
tisan. His interest in politics was al
together impersonal. He would at all
times give his best service to advanc-
ing the interests of the republican
party whenever he felt that 1t was in
strict accord with the best interests of
the state and country. but he was not
trammeled by party ties to such an

A GREAT AND GOOD MAN

Governor Albert E. Mead was big.
brainy, gentle, lovable man and an
executive of remarkable force and
ability He was possessed of a charm
ing and delightful personality that
captivated all who knew him, and
easily won the respect, admiration and
warmest affection of those who were
so fortunate as to enjoy intimate as
sociation with him.
One of his striking characteristics
was his innate honesty. He was hon
est in thought and in deed, in little
things as well as in big. He was in
capable of the little shams, or deceits,
or hypocracies that so often pass for
policy and diplomacy. Honesty was
not a policy with him, it was intuitive
and involuntary.
He was at all times cheerful, bouy-
ant, optomistic. His great good ma
ture never failed him under the most
trying circumstances, and he never
yielded to that irritableness and ir-
feasibility that affects smaller minds
under the friction of annoyance or I'M
just criticism. Few men in public life
in this state were ever subjected to
more constant or embittered misrep-
resentation than was Governor Mead
throughout his administration, yet he
was ever tolerant and generous to his
most implacable enemies.
He was endowed with rich wien
of humor, delighted in good story,
particularly of an anecdotal nature,
and had a great fund of amusing rem
iniscences and experiences that he re-
lated with inimical effectiveness. He
was particularly fond of history, es-
pecially of the Pacific northwest. His
learning in this respect was profound
He was an omniverous reader and his
remarkably retentive memory made it
possible for him to draw at will upon
vast fund Of information on a wide
range Of interesting subjects.
He was a charming entertainer
democratic to the core, always natural
and unaffected whether in his Office
in public gatherings, at the banquet
table or in his.uwn home. He had the
faculty of putting all who met him al
their ease and was ever jovial, genial
and happy. He was without vanity
and seemed always wholly devoid Of
sc fronsciousness. He loved to mingle
with his fellows, and his sympathies
were so broad that he could meet or
~~'---.-s-.-~ s-o',--a all manner nf mon.
He loved mankind, and was never sc
happy as when engaged in service OF
a public character, whether as an Of
fetal or as private citizen. In fac,
he devoted the greater part of his en-.
ergies and his talents to the public
veal even to the exclusion and the
detriment of his personal affairs. He
worked without thought of personal
reward, feeling fully repaid if his eff.
forts helped to advance the general
good.
His humanitarian sympathies were
evidenced throughout his administra-
| ton in his recommendations to the
Legislature and in his untiring and in
tell1gent efforts to improve the penal

administration and greater effective.
ness in dealing with the present day
Governor Mead worked earnestly
honestly and conscientiously for the
state at all times. His accomplish.
ments were truly great and they were
made without ostentation or self
glorification. In fact, his own personal
interest was the last thing to be
considered by Governor Mead in any
OF his activities either as a public Of
ficial or as private citizen working
for the public good His life was
largely devoted to promoting the in
terests of his fellow men, and the COM
munltles in which he lived. He was
apparently devoid of that commercial
spirit that rules most men of this age.
He did not seek riches and at all times
gave far more of his energies and his
ability to advancing the public good
than to consideration of his personal
affairs. He went into office a poor
man and left office even poorer than
he entered But he left with record
absolutely clean and unsullied and a
conscience clear and untroubled.
His administration was remarkable
for the number and Importance of the
achievements that can be credited to
1t, and when time gives opportunity
Tor just estimate of his services.
Governor Mead will be ranked among
the foremost state executives of this
entire country.

CHICAGO, April Miss Virginia
Brooks, whose determined fight

the United States as the Joan of

last evening to Charles Washburne, a
newspaper man.
Some months ago Miss Brooks, by
a slip Of the tongue, betrayed the fact
that she was engaged but refused to
name the man.
Miss Brooks first came into promi-
hence when she started a crusade to
eliminate graft in West Hammond.
She gathered around her the better
element of the city and put into the
field against the gangsters a reform
ticket. She made dozens of speeches
in support of this ticket, and it was
elected.
Since that time she has engaged
in other Crusades along the same
lines, both in West Hammond and in
Chicago.
