we'll as his own is no better man
than a man who loves other women
as we'll as his wife" The true bear
ing of this utterance can only be
fully grasped by those who knew the
purity of his life and thought. He
admired the virtues of other ma
tons and held some in sincere af-
fection; he realized to the full all
the shortcomings of the United
States; but in his heart reigned the
noble sentiment uttered by Stephen

prominent in this honesty was one of

stab him in the back to advance
their own political or other personal

friends, however, was very small, es-
