Tho Reason For a Navy.

OF entrance to a quarrel, but being in.
Bear't that the opposed may beware
of thee.
Who really believes that the United
States would go cunning for trouble il
it had capable navy and army? And
who believes that it would put Its tail
between its legs and sit down in the
face Of attack or insult, even If it did
not have any kind of an army and
navy?
The sensible demand Of the people of
the United States for an adequate navy
and an adequate military defense on
land is, first. toihelp US to keep out OF
trouble, and second, to enable us to
get thru the business quickly and hon
orably il we are drawn in.-Kansas

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

While Mr.. Bryan has been Of no
use to the president in dealing with
Duh foreign affairs, he has been Of i'm
mense utility in domestic affairs" says
the Sioux City Journal. TT is doubtful
if a single item of the administration
program in the Sixty third congress
could have been put through without
the hearty cooperation and support or
Mr. Bryan. nd, while it Is true that
Mr.. Bryan caused President Wilson
some embarrassment by clinging to his
chautauqua relations, nursing old po-
litical grudges and standing by un-
worthy appointees, it must not be for
gotten that Mr.. Wilson owed his nom
inatio rto Mr. Bryan"

Don't be impatient" urges the
Grundy Republican. The chautauqua
season is just upon us and Mr.. Bryan
will doubtless be perfectly willing to
explain the whole matter Of his resig-
nation, and the events leading up to
it for $500 speech"

Practical temperance or interna-
tional peace are the two most danger
GUS things that politician can fool
with. So, incidentally, we can only
conclude that Mr. Bryan turned aside
from his ambition because his con-
science compelled him so to do" con-
cludes the Grinnell Register.

istration, and these reasons will appear

In MemOrium.

From q fullnes OF heart, but, l fear, in
faltering voice and poverty Of expression,
l wish to add to what has already been
said by the Bar, the tribute of honor, re-
spect and esteem which l most gener-
ously entertain and cherish for the life
and character of our lamented friend, the
late Abner f. Green.
My acquaintance with Mr.. Green ex-
tends back over period of seven years.
1 knew him slightly before the beginning
of that period, but came to know him
more intimately as the years passed by,
until, at length, what was a mere passing
acquaintance ripened into friendship and
esteem. He drew me closer and closer to
him by the admirable traits OF his char
acter, by his bright face, his genial smile,
and lovable disposition.
To those who claimed him as friend,
he was sincere and steadfast; always
open, frank, and generous to fault. He
won the friendship of others, not SO
much by what may be called personal
magnetism, as by his sweetness of tenn
per, his tender sympathy and gentleness
of character. Because of these qualities, he
counted his friends by the hundreds. No
one who repo<H trust in his friendship
ever had cause of regret, for he met with
fullest measure the expectations of i'm
v,ls<,ek 1anna In bic -nnsal
his conversation was always cnlightening
and elevating; his language was pure,
chsste and elegant.
In his business dealings with his fellow
man he was just, fair and honorable. In
the discharge of his professional obliga-
tons and duties to his clients, he was
always conscientious, diligent, and zeal
Gus. Towards his professional brother
he was always courteous. No opposing
lawyer ever suspected him of unfairness
or accused him OF unethical conduct. In
the discharge OF his official duties as a
public prosecutor of crime, he was con-
scientious and fearless, but just; he pre-
sented his cases with fairness both to
State and accused; he INDUCED in no ap-
peals to passion or prejudice, but sought
verdicts upon the evidence and by an APP
peal to reason and logic. He was we'll
read in the law, and, even though he la
bored under great difficulties, achieved
by his studious habits, his learning, abil-
ity and faithfulness, a marked degree OF
success, and attained to an enviable rep
utation at the Bar. He was polished, re-
fined and dignified in his manner, and at
all times the elegant, urbane gentleman.
In fact, in every walk of life, he fully
met and discharged every obligation and
responsibility which confronted him, and

RESOLUTIONS OF TENSAS BAR ON The
DEATH OF 4. E. GREEN.

At meeting of the Bar of Tensas Par
ish on Wednesday the following proceed
ings were had:
The report of the Committee of the
Bar of Tensas Parish, who were appoint
ed to draft suitable resolutions expressive
of the sentiments Of the Bar on the death
OF the late Abner f. Green, and the ex
pressions Of the Judge, on motion Of the
Bar, were added to the resolutions Of the
Bar, which were ordered read, spread
upon the minutes, published in the news
papers OF the District, and a copy thereof
sent to the family OF the deceased. And in
respect to his memory Court stands adj
journed.
To the Hon'l. n. VI. Calhoun, Judge OF
the Tenth Judicial District Court,
holding sessions in and for the Par
ish of Tensas, Louisiana:
We, the undersigned committee, APP
pointed by your Honor to prepare and
present to this Honorable Court resolu-
tons commemorative of the death of our
late and distinguished brother, beg leave
to report as follows:
That in the death OF Abner +. Green
this District and this Bar has lost a true
| and faithful citizen and official, trusted
and beloved member Of the profession.
In the practice OF his profession and
in the performance OF his official duties,
Just, courteous, considerable, able, giving
to every duty. whether large or small,
the full power of his bright and active
mind.
Though in the cruel grasp of pain and
i'll health, he never tiinched from the full
and complete performance OF all duties
which entailed upon him from his public
and private life, fighting the fight of a
true and loyal citizen to within few days
of the end of his useful life.
His attractive personality and singular
ly winning and courteous demeanor,
made him admired, respected and be-
loved by the men and women and child
rem of this District, numbering his friends
alike among the old and the young, the
high and the low. To but few are grant
ed the high privilege of receiving and
giving such friendship as his.
In his private life, gentle, cheerful,
gracious and loving, careful of the feel
ings of others, unselfsh in all things, ever
striving to bring to others pleasure and
happiness. As husband, devoted, as a
son, showing always filial devotion and
a loving solicitude and care to his aged
parents, and rejecting the ideals and
hopes instilled in him in his early life.
A life full of capacity, kindliness, SER
vice, courage, always gentle and helpful,
now he wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
Therefore, feeling keenly our loss in the
death OF Abner E. Green, We join with
the entire people in this District in ex.
tending to the family of our lamented
and deceased brother our sincere sympa.
thy and coincidence.
And we now request that this report
be filed by order of this Court, and thai
the same be spread upon its minutes
that copy hereof be sent to the family
of deceased, and copy be furnished t.
the press OF the District, and that, after
suitable remarks have been made, thi'
Court stand adjourned.
