MORE THAN Personal BE
REAVENENT

The death of Earl WoolvertOn,
deeply lamented and sincerely
mourned as it was and still is, is not
alone a personal bereavement of par
entS and immediate relatives. BY
those who knew him we'll and init
mately his passing is regarded a COM
munity loss. Unlike most young men
nOunced fondness for the works of
nature instead of a fancy for the
purely artificial. To agriculture and
agricultural pursuits he became a
sturdy devotee in early life. AS he
grew in years, conception and eXpe-
rience his inclination to commune
with nature and glory in natures
possibilities became marked more and
more. Keenly observant. he became
deeply interested in the study Of sci
entific agriculture. Endowed with a
receptive and perceptive mind. he
soon became thoroughly equipped
with a rich fund of knowledge of
scientific farming. Appreciation of
this gratifying tendency toward the
most useful as we'll as most essential
of all industrial occupations led to
his being intrusted with the manage
ment of one of st. Joseph county 8
best farms So we'll did he meet ex-
pectations. so capable and efficient
did he prove himself in this capacity
that there was recognized in him the
possession of the qualities of one of
the most promisingly successful ag-
riculturists in the county. That his
career terminated so soon, so sud
denly and so genuinely deplored
renders public grief over his prema-
ture passing away all the more poig-
nant and regretaole.
Earl Woolverton was a notably dis
tinguished character in other re-
spects. Frivolities had no alluring
charms for him He believed in and
practiced the simple life in the best
sense of the term. He regarded
mans duty TO be that of useful
achievement Work. hard work. had
no terrors for him. He believed IN
earning and saving-and practlced
both. He recognized the efficiency
Of method and system-and gave en-
phasis 10 both. In speech he was
reticient but when he did speak he
unvaryingly gave utterance TO ma
sure thought. He measured his words
and exercised due care that nothing
unworthy Of manly man fell from
his lips.
All in all. Earl WOolvertOn was an
exemplary young man. Public recog-
milton of his manly qualities and his
sturdy virtues was made strikingly
manifest by the spontaneity of eX-
preston of genuine sympathy and the
profusion of floral tributes of rare
beauty when his mortal remains were
tenderIy laid at rest on Friday last.
While many OF those who recog-
nized In Earl WoolvertOn young
man OF extraordinary promise and
inCalCulable usefulness to the com
munity are baffled in seeking a salts
fying solution OF the problem why q
life so rich in possibilities and proba-
bilities was cut short at the incipieni
stage, some degree of comforting ac-
quiscence in the decree of fate may
he found in the contemplation Of the
thought that he did not live in vain
and that he wrought and toiled Ions
| enough in his chosen domain 10 servo
as an illustrious example for bene'
| fetal and advantageous emulation.

NATIONAL HONOR.

Nations must be as sensitive as to
their honor and as jealous as TO their
rights as individuals if they would
not have the one dragged in the dust
or be deprived of the other. The
honor code and the rights of a ma
ton are as clearly defined by inter
national law and custom as are those
Of the individual by national, state
and municipal laws.
This is necessarily true. If each
nation could live apart by itself, de-
pendent upon its own resources and
self-sufficient in all its commercial
and social relations and if il were not
the custom OF citizens of one nation
to visit and do business in the coun-
try of another. or if there were not
certain world highways, like the
oceans and seas, too large for any
single nation TO own, or international
highways, such as canals, which GER
tain nations do own, it might be pos
sible TO get along with less internd-
tional law
But commercial enterprise and the
spread Of civilization and religion
have brought the world into very
compact form. made it very small
compared with the conception of the
earth's surface in the time of Column
us, for example. The lines of inter-
national life cross at frequent inter-
walls. The world has become cosmo-
politan. Leaving out their separate
states and governments and institu-
tions the people of the world have be-
come very much one people. They
maintain their individuality mainly
on account of their rival interests.
1t is a basic principle of national
life that a citizen is an integral part
of the nation and that as the rights of
the individual are affected the rights
of the nation are concerned. An
American. an Englishman. French
man. a Chinese or a Japanese is as
much citizen of his own country
on foreign soil as if at home and as
much entitled 10 protection. The
honor and the rights of the individual
citizen are held sacred by his govern
ment and il became necessary for
the enactment of international law
through the formation of treaties
which sives nations the right 70 pro
tect their citizens wherever they may
be
Otherwise it might appear to be an
unjustifiable thing for one nation 10
declare war against another nation
because its citizens in that other
country have been deprived of their
rights or because disresPect has been
shown its authority and its flag dis
honored by arresting its agents while
on "A peaceful errand. The nation
which permits these trespasses upon
individual rights or insults to it's flag
deserves to lose respect Of other ma
tons just as man who permits his
honor 10 be distained ana his rights
I trampled upon loses the respect of
/ his fellowmen.

hold a little reunion.
