CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL SPEAKS ON
LIFE OF LATE IRWIN S. PEPPER

mast feeling of gloom and sadness
filled the hearts of all who knew him.
About two weeks ago a bill was be.
ing considered in the house which car
ried an item for a pension for a widow
in Mr. Peppers district. An
amendment was offered and an effort
made to strengthen this item. 1t was
my object to resist the amendment
and l stated to the house that 1t was
offered by Mr. Pepper, who was home
seriously sick and not able to speak
for himself and that | desired to speak
for him. The amendment was de-
feated
On one occasion I attended with him
and his now bereaved father, the old
Masonic lodge where George Wash
ington once presided as master, and
on that occasion Mr.. Pepper gave ex-
pressions to appropriate and
beautiful remarks showing his devo-
ton to the principles of that noble
and venerable institution. l think l
might on this occasion appropriately
offer to one of the members of that
order when it compares human lives
to the hour glass: Behold how the
little particles in this instrument, SLOW
ly pass away and yet in one short
hour, they are exhausted, and so this
man puts forward all hope. Tomor-
row he bushes. blossoms and bears
his honors thick against him. The
next day chilling frost destroys all
and he falls like autumn leaves to en-
rich our mother earth, but this reminds
us that there is no man with a spark
Of immortality that bears a close
affinity to the supreme architect OF
the universe which shall never die.
This enables us to look forward with
confidence and hope to present I'M
mortality
In conclusion permit me to say to
his father and friends that you have
lost a jewel from your family circle,
but one who has left to you price
less inheritance of a spotless name.
To the people Of his district would
say you have lost an able and faith
full representative. The congress has
lost useful and active and beloved
member.
The country has lost an honest and
faithful public servant. May his
soul rest in peace until wo shall meet
him in that better and brighter
world
