Hon. Nicholas LOngWOIth

1t is said that death loves a shin
ing mark which has been verified
i'll the death of Hon. Nicholas Long
worth, Speaker of the National
House of Representatives who died
of pneumonia at Aiken, S. c., on
Thursday, April 9.
His death removes from the coun-
ellis of the Republican party one of
its most able and intelligent men
and also takes from the Congress of
the United States one who at all
times was honest, fearless, and did
his duty as he saw it, regardless of
anything his opponents might say.
He was held in high esteem by
men who stand high III the councils
of the Democratic party, and they
were at all times proud to call him
their personal friend.
The close friendship of John 7.
Garner of Texas, Democratic lead
er in the House of Representatives
with Mr.. LongWorth, was noticeable
for the fact that both belonged to
parties that were opposed to each
other, both holding leading parts in
each party which they represented.
When the many contests in which
they engaged we're Over, the friend
ship was continued until the end of
his useful life by death.
1t seems shame that man who |
was SO prominent, honast and trust
worthy as Mr.. Longworth should be
taken by death.

Speaker.
These are troublesome times,
when both political parties are torn
by disssensions which threatens fu-
lure troubles. We need men like Mr..
LOngworth with his calm, dispasSi-
nate judgment to pour oil on the
troubled waters.
The funeral of the deceased
Speaker took place from Christ's
Episcopal Church, Cincinnati, Ohio,
