demic course at the University Of
the South, Sewanee, Tenn, where
he also studied law and graduated
in the legal department of the Uni.
versity.
He came to st. Joseph in 1895,
studied law in the office of the late
Robert H. Snyder, and soon began
the practice of his profession here.
He soon built up lucrative prac-
tice and engaged at the same time
in journalism, being for some time

Such is a brief sketch of the life
of our lamented friend-an outline
of his career,-but q more gifted
pen than the writer's is required to
fill in the sketch-to paint into the
picture the colors which will give it
life and warmth and cause it to
faithfully delineate the strong man,
the vital and Write character who

Abner Green was gifted in an I'M
usual degree with the faculty for
making and keeping friends. No
one approached him who did not
feel the charm of his manner, which
was enhanced by his physical at
Effectiveness. While be was court
eous, and approachable. there was
a certain dignity in his manner and
department which at once inspired
respect and secured the confidence
of all who knew him. Full of SYM
pathy for his fellow-man, his hand
was ever ready and his warm heart
open to those in distress. A loyal
man, a man to trust, the kind of
man one wants for a comrade wheth-
er in smiling times of peace or when
clouds are lowering and conditions
demand strong and brave men. For
he was essentially a brave man,
both physically and morally. And
so he made brave and patient
fight for life-for that life which
must have been so sweet to him,
full as it was of all those things
which make life worth living-the
respect and confidence of all who
knew him, the tender love and af-
lection of family and hosts of
friends, success in his chosen life
work. Facing the loss of all these
things-in the full maturity of his
powers stricken by fatal malady-
he fought the good fight bravely,
cheerfully and patiently. like the
gallant gentleman be was, and those
who loved him, watching how he
bore himself, were filled with sad
ness at the impending calamity, but
still more filled with pride and adj
miration at his fortitude. Truly bis

Many times a childbirth means
the death of woman suffering from
some chronic disease or some pelvic
malformation-a woman who would
have remained perfectly well if she
might have practiced birth control.
"Of all civilized countries United
States is the most reactionary in
dealing with this matter. In Hol-
land information relating to family
limitation is given to all married
persons who seek it by doctors and
nurses. The law authorizes the dis
semination of such information. In
England similar service is performed
by the neo-malthusian leagues, for
all those who apply stating that they
are married or about to be married.
''In this country such distribu-
ton is impossible owing to a GEN.
sorship as real and terrifying as any
that ever existed in darkest Russia.
In fact, in the matter of birth con-
troll the Russia censorship is far more
liberal than ours Our censorship
hangs like a DamocIes sword over
the head of every radical writer. 1t
impedes science and shackIes public
discussion. 1T SHOULD BE ABoL-
ISHED."
