The Chelsea chamber was also in
fmentlal In reducing tho price OF

competition with the existing ice
company, and was instrumental In
installing an up-to date cotton gin

encouraging better relations be-

SON In ADDRESS.

Cambridge, ILL.,. Dec. l =
Members Of the circuit court of
Henry county, and prominent attor-
ney from Whiteside, Rock Island,
Mercer and Henry today paid trib-
ute to the loved memory Of Judge
Emery C. Graves, former Judge Of
the Fourteenth judicial circuit, who
died Aug. Il, 1922.
Judge W. T. Church and Judge
Nels A. Larson presided. The me-
mortal was held at the court house
and services began at 100 this aft
ernoon. Attorney Henry Water
man of Geneseo, chairman Of the
memorial committee presented the
usual resolutions. Hon. Floyd E.
Thompson. chief justice OF the SUI
preme court, gave the first address
on the program. In his talk JUS
tice Thompson said:
my acquaintance with Judge
Graves impressed me with his abil-
ity, his integrity and his fidelity.
These characteristics were appre-
ciated by the members of the bar
of Illinois. Next to the approval of
his own conscience. the highest re-
ward a Judge can receive is the
sincere admiration of an able, en-
lightened and honorable bar.
There is nothing in the charac-
ter of the duties of judge to ex-
cite the enthusiastic admiration OF
the popuIace. A life of patient toll
among records and books is bar
rem of those incidents which bring
forth the applause of the multi
tude. Its results are protection,
peace and happiness to mankind
through the Just enforcement of
the laws. By reason of their in
dustry, ability and professional
learning and their fitness and ac-
curacy of conclusion no one is bet
ter able to Judge whether these
duties have been properly perform
cd than the members of the bar.
Necessarily, the fame of a judge of
a court of reviews must in the
main rest on his written opinions
seen and known only by the pro-
fession and in professional tradi-
tons. The opinions of Judge
Graves appear in the published vol
umes of the appellate court reports
