Ring out the grief that saps the mind.
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor,
Ring in redress for all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms Of party strife;
Ring in the nobler deeds Of life,
With greater justice, purer laws"
The year is ending, and in closing
up accounts it is fair and just to the
public that they might at this time
become better acquainted with one
who had a country boys opportunity,
gave careful thought to the choosing
Of a career, has faced life with one
unwavering aim and has every where
established honesty as his policy and
purpose, and people throughout every
section Of the country are daily and
weekly testifying to the worth and
constructive thought that Editor Ju-
Illus F. Taylor is moulding with the
better element Of the thinking people
of the United States.
They say that he comes not with
the flaming red or green headlines to
confuse the minds Of his many read
ers and tell Of the supposed detri-
mental qualities OF his people. He
presents not twenty or thirty pages Of
personal correspondence and then
wonders how his paper will be pub
lished the next week, but he goes
steadily along like the ticking Of Ben
jamin Banneker's first clock when he
told Thomas Jefferson in presenting il

It will never miss a stroke"
We place him in the class Of PROBES
sional writers possessing an individual
character and whether he writes Of
ethics, politics, sociology, philosophy
or religion the reading public appre
ciates his views. His purity denotes
his power and as a great scholar Of
the school of life he has accomplished
what might be said in these little
lines:
Lie is short from youth to age;
But its heetness has not been wasted
