Before and After.

What is said of men before
they die is frequently quite diff
ferent from what is said after
they are dead. This fact was
never better illustrated than in
the case of Nelson w. Aldrich.
ex-senator from Rhode Island,
whose death was ecently record
ed. In his case two clippings
from the same paper, the one
published seven years ago, the
other published the day follow
ing his death, we'll illustrate
comment before and after"
The clippings follow:
ga spokesman of Standard Oil,
an agent of trusts, an advocate
of special interests, Senator AID
rich has never concerned himself
with the welfare of the common
people but his every act in the
legislature, in the national House
and Senate, ignored them and
their interests"
The death of Senator Aldrich
deprives the country of one of it's
foremost constructive statesmen.
Identified with making most of
the great laws of the present
generation. he has stamped his
name indelibly upon measures
which have been of the greatest
good to the greatest number"
Of Courss the paper quoted
may urge that it's former utter
ance was intended merely for
political purposes, and should
not be contrasted with it's cor
rect estimate of the man follow
ing his death. Yet, if this plea
could be justified by political ne
cessity, a correct estimate of the
man would be superfuous. The
thing to do in journalism is
never to allow politics to dictate

The chancellor desires to place Ger

discussion In government circles as to
