There is hardly a newspaper in Wis
eonsin but what has published an
eulogy upon the life of Herbert
Manson. The following from several
indicate with what affection anu es-
TEEN he has held throughout the
state:
Milwaukee News.
The burial of Herbert III Manson at
Wausau today is the final act friends
can pay to the mortal in man. THAT
which lives AFTER" in the affection
and memories of friends of the de-
parted, as far as we have positive,
absolute knowledge of is known only
to the living.
We all hope and many as firmly be-
lieve as they feel their existence, the
departed have as keen, if not keener
knowledge of our sufferings at their
taking away than those left behind,
but that the existence they have in
herited in their future estate is so
fortunately different that suffering
comes only as Christening to the
living in preparation OF their own
translation TO an equal estate, through
the ''transition called DEATH"
1t is beautiful conception, cherish
ed by all races in all ages in some de-
gree or form and lends a most mo-
mentous sanction to the conviction of
Immortality of the soul.
1t is the mortal life, however, that
is grievouSly torn, by these Affections
and the more bitterly when the de-
parted is cut down in life highly
joyful to it's posise:ssor in it's usefull-
ness to others, friends or strangers,
and to the state.
This thought finds exemplification
in the untimely death of Mr. Manson
in the very flower of life, enriched in
its limited span by much of such use
fulness and full of much promise Of it
for the years to come, as allotted to
man by Omnipotence in its average
duration.
Mr.. Manson in his personality, ac-
tivities, and constructive attainments
has been recognized by his friends and
| fellowmen with trusts of much i'm
portance publicly. In private affairs
he was equally valued and respected.
The former could not have come SO
abundanJly without the latter. Over
long periods of time life generally
works out that way and merit finds
its level in recognition in the hearts
and testful needs of men.
Mr.. Manson's career has been cut
short. Its fullness for the brief time
allotted him is self-testimony of its
worthiness. So today manifesting
their love and appreciation, friends
from all over the state are teStifying
by their presence at the obsequies for
this man the respect, confidence and
appreciation in which he was held--a
| fitting close in mortal recognition to
useful life.

The death of Herbert Manson,
collector of internal revenue and for
mer chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, at his home
at Wausau on Wednesday, the 29th
ult., is the callse of the profoundest
sorrow throughout the state of Wis
consin in which he was a prominent
| figure. 1t was. our good fortune to
know him intimately, having served
with him on the state central COM
mittee and more active. straight
| forward, shrewd, and withal courte-
Gus worker in the cause of good gov
ernment could not be found in poll
tics. He was able and conscientious
and succeeded in his undertakings in
a remarkable degree for one of his
years. He was recognized in the
| foremost councils of the Democratic
party and was chosen delegate at
large TO the Democratic convention
at Denver. His death is loss to the
state, to the Democratic party, whose
cause he always championed, and to
his home city, Wausau.

/ The recent death of Herbert III.
Manson at Wausau removes froIl this
locality a young pan who was fast
coming to the front in state and na-
tional politics. Mr.. Manson was a
graduate of our state university, be-
ing in that Institution at the same
time as the editors of the Herald. We
knew him then and have been we'll
acquainted with him ever since. One
of his greatest faculties was the abil-
Iity TO make and keep friends who
would stand by him in his every IN
ldertaking There are very
few men i'm the state of Wisconsin
who stand as close to the present s.d-
ministration st Washington as MIR.
Manson did and there are very few
states in the union whose representa-
tiyes have a more friendly standing
with the president of the United
States and some of the other members
