In Politics and Education.

He was for many years chairman
of the republican county central com
r,ittee. The older residents VINO re
member him recall that he was
easily the dominant political figure OF
the county during the late years that
he lived here.
There are some that claim that the
real monument that he left behind
kim was the public school system OF
Keokuk. 1t is said that il was his
first interest. and that he was deter
rlined that there should be no better
schools anywhere than We're those in
Keokuk. and he gave much of his time
and his best thought to this end.
During his terms in the legislature
he took a very active interest in the
welfare of the deaf from the fact that
one of his sons was deaf mute. II
was only logical that he should be
appointed to the position of superin
tendent of the state school for the
deaf at Council Bluffs. He has hello
this position for the past thirty-twc
years and recently rendered his resig
nation to the state board Of educa
ton. stating that he wished to retire
The press over the state has e2
pressed regret that he has felt
necessary to retire from active sci
vice which, both in the number q
wears and the value of service ha
seldom been equaled.
