Charles S. Mitchell is gone. There
is scarcely an editor in Minnesota to
whom this sad news will not bring a
sense of bitter disappointment and
grief. When Mr.. Mitchell was called
to Washington about year ago, his
friends, although feeling a keen per-
sonal loss, were generous enough to
rejoice in his good fortune. AS the
months rolled by and the editors in
Minnesota watched with proud interest

tai. News of his unexpected death came
as shock to his hundreds of friends
in Minnesota and to few Of those who
knew him most intimately his passing
brings the deepest grief. All that now
remains for them is the memory Of
their friendship with Charles Mitchell,
the beloved editor and as loyal and
true a friend as ever trod this earth.

that was really worth considering.
Then the business men Of Wahkon

loyal support in a material way to that
paper in the future. The Union evil

Volumes have been written on the
subject of home life in America and
many of these works set forth the
fact that the home today is not doing,
either for children or grownups, the
thing for which it was designed the
providing of opportunities for whole
some family life. And in these vol
umes there are found suggestions on
how it is possible to make the modern
home yield these opportunities. But
unless we apply ourselves actively to
the task of putting into practice our
voluminous preaching on this subject
we shall not advance greatly toward a

w. A. McKerrow, widely known
agricultural leader of this state, is
dead. For the past ten years he has
been identified with every forward
agricultural move in Minnesota and
was perhaps known personally to more
farmers in the state than any other
man. He was particularly active in
the development Of the livestock and
dairying industries Of the state and
was an officer in several cooperative
associations. His passing leaves a
void in the field Of agriculture which
it will be difficult to fill. Personally
he was a quiet, unassuming man, but
he possessed those characteristics
which attract people and make friends.

solution of the problem. It seems to
us that it would be folly to regard this
matter lightly and to hold that it will
remedy itself, as contcnded by some
writer's. No permanently wholesome
life, either in the community or for the
nation, can be built on a substantial
basis unless home life and home train
ing play a great part in this process.
The situation, assuredly, is not to be
taken lightly, nor will it remedy itself
in the course of time if, as one great
educator claims, we, are going in a
direction away from it. The obvious
conclusion is that, if we cherish ideals
that make for desirable manhood and
womanhood and for more efficient
citizenship, we cannot afford to lose
sight of the fact that these ideals are
best maintained in the home. Other
institutions may help in this process,
but, they can only help-they cannot
supplant the home. It may be that the
writing of many books on this subject
and the delivering of many lectures
will help us to realize this and, to that
end, they serve good purpose. But
the real remedy for the waning in
fluence of the home lies in thorough
ecognition of what we are losing when
home and family life become less i'm
portant with us and in a resolute de-
termination to prevent this loss at all

When Bob Dunn Of Princeton died, Mr..
Mitchell knew a most poignant grief.
Of all the public figures Of his time,
the one who held the largest place in
his heart was Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt's fighting qualities, his
vision and his buoyancy commanded
his utmost admirarlon. For Mr..
Mitchell, the partisan, the intrepidity,
the impregnable self-reliance Of Thco-
dore Roosevelt was ever an inspira
ton. He supported him in every way
IN his power, and, like millions of
others, fully expected the colonel to
be the republican nominee for presi-
dent in 1920, as he very probably would
have been had his career not ended
when it did.
The state Editorial association new
er he'd a more devoted, loyal member.
Probably he was better known to the
newspaper owners and editors in Min
nesota than any man in his profess
sion. He often referred with hearty
laugh to his college days at Ann Har-
Dor, giving voice at the same time to
his constant affection for his alma
mater.
His beginnings in the newspaper
world at St. Cloud were humble
enough, as he often said, but man of
his charm of manner, genial equip
ment, preference for the sunbeams,
was bound to rise rapidly and it was
but short time after going to Alex
andria that he was one Of the best
known and best-liked citizens of the
Park Region of Minnesota.
He took part in the details Of poll
tics because he felt it his duty, but he
never really relished it. AS public
speaker, he was brilliant. He support
ed cause on the platform or in edi-
torial columns with equal facility. He
was one of those editors of whom it
may be fairly said that he welded a
trenchant pen, for throughout all his
career he refrained from the use Of q
typewriter. He was always an earnest
advocate. AS an optimist he was
ranked by no man.
! Charles S. Mitchell was a splendid
citizen, fond husband and devoted
father, man of the highest moral
qualities, the soul of honor.
Death is another life. We bow our heads
At going out, we think, and enter straight
| Another golden chamber of the kings.
Larger than this we leave, and lovelier.
And then in shadowy glimpses, disconnect,
| The story, fower-like, closes thus its leaves
| The will of God is all in all.

At it's final conference in Chicago,

pernicious instrumentalities for
spreading vice and gambling. Many
cities and towns in the middle west at
tempted last season to bar out these
communicating shows by fixing license

these measures did not have the effect
of excluding the larger carnivals, or
of preventing exhibitions for the profit

Sorrow beyond expression pervad.:s

Charles S. Mitchell, a friend Of many
years, has passed from this worlds
stage stage upon which he played
a courageous part always, ever had the
attention of his fellow citizens, won
end kept the friendship of thousands
and exercised an influence that was
felt in all parts Of Minnesota. It was
in this state that practically all his
life work was done.
Duluth, Saint Cloud, Alexandria and
Fairmont knew him best. For more
than decade and half he was the
editor Of this newspaper, helping to
fix it's policies, aiding in it's up-build-
ing and when called to the field of the
national capital leaving with every
good wish Of it's publisher. He w:<s a
man who enjoyed his work as it is
given to few to do. His satisfaction
at becoming editor of the Washington
Herald was boundless. In the national
capital were many of his friends of
his earlier days-in those days when
he took more cctive personal interest
in practical politics. The man who
knew him most intimately was Knute
Nelson.
Times without numDer Mr.. Mitchell
expressed sense of enduring graft
tude to Minnesota's senior senator for
kindly advice and real help in the first
days as editor of the Alexandria Pest
News. To make friends and keep them
was one of Mr.. Mitchell's cardinal &C
complishmcnts. No man enjoyed the
cameraderie of his fellow-ci more
than he. He was welcome in any
gathering because of his ccintillating
humor and an ability to bring every.
body into a remarkable harmony.
In controversy, he was a generous
opponent. AS for holding a grudge he
simply could not. " When he espoused
