HIS REWARD IN HEAVEN

There are still a good many in
Brookings who remember Stacy Coch-
rane who at n time published a
paper In this city called the Individual.
Stacy certainly had a unique idea of
the possibilities of things and in those
days there was some lively Journalism
In Bro0kings. He Is still In the news
paper business and located at Column
bia. this state. The Register takes the
liberty of quoting a couple of para
graphs from his last leading editorial
which is strong evidence Of his self
sacrificing disposition:
Yea verify. or words to that effect
we, Had rather be a door keeper In
The house OF the Lord than dwell In
n tents Of the wicked"
AS far as the dignifed old gentle
man who presides over the destinies of
the Columbian and edifes the literary
world by writing its classic editorials
is concerned; he has been q voter for
9 two o years but has never
voted for q candidate for one presi.

only n governor and for only two
congressman who were both elected
at the same election.

worked for more progressive ideas in
their intipiency. when their advocates
were the subject Of the ridicule OF the
fogies; and who has lived to see the
