GEORGE 5. lofrus.

IT is not alone because of the
deep sense of personal loss in
the passing of a devoted friend,
but more especially because
the people of the Northwest
have lost an able, resourceful,
dependable and interchangeable
champion of their interests
that / MOURN the death of
George S. LOTUS.
He was a born leader. Early
in life he was thrown into the
m%aelstrom of the Grain Ex-
change. He had the peculiar
gifts which would have won
him great personal fortune.
All he would have had to do,
was to float with the tide.
A man of great vision, en-
dowed by Providence with a
love of Justice and fair dealin g
toward his fellow men. he gre
fused to permit his conscience
to be blinded merely that his
pocket might be filled. He
saw the iniquities and wrongs
imposed by the System upon
the farmers Of the great North
west. He knew these wrongs
were rooted in the control of
the great Elevator, Milling and
Railroad interests. No man
had keener appreciation OF
what opposition to.these inter
ests meant to the man who
made it.
Prior to his entering the
fight, he had a thorough un,
Outstanding of all the sacrifc-
es that would be demanded OF
him. He willingly made these
sacrifices. He threw away the
opportunity to gain personal
fortune that he might benefit
the men on the farms through
out the whole Northwest.
Single-handed he gave battle
to these great interests. Il
was a long struggle. He
gradually brought the people
to his standard. He fought
and won their battle. He freed
their markets. It was the days
and nights of sleepless, unre'
lenting devotion to the inter
ests of the farmers of NORTH
and South Dakota, Montana
Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon
sin, that undermined his
health and brought him to AT
untimely end.
George S. Lotus lowered
above his fellow men. Coo
gave him a great soul, a splen'
did intellect, a magniticen
physique. All of these he
sacrificed to the cause, which
he was born to lead. He pass
ed beyond just as his life worl
was to be crowned with sue
cess. The great people,
market movement had prove
it's worth. There had not beer
time for the farmers to sub
stantially express their ap
probation of his great services
The war he had waged ha'
not only exhausted his physi
cal but also his financia
resources.
Some day in the not distan
future, the farmers of the grea
northwest, will rear a splendi
