In concluding an impassion
ed speech to a, religijqs assemb
lage four years ago in a 'Kansas
town.'; J. Ralph Barton, then
an aspirant, for senatorial honors
declared: '
"The richest legacy that man
can leave to man is th memory
of an honored name and ' the
inheritance of a good example,"
Today, the. author of t. those
noble , sentiments - walks1 J the
'streets of Washington .' (disci-edited
and friendless ' Since':. he
was branded by a Federal !- jury
at St Louis! less than a year ago
as a bribe taker he has grown
inoroee and despondent. ::To an
intimate friend he. .remarked
the other day that regardless , o!
whether he served autermtin
the Federal penitentiary or (joot
in expiation of the charges made
against him, or whether the Iwas
acquitted later on of the, charge
of accepting bribes be . coold
never' efface the stigma placed
upon his.name and reputation.
Iam a- rained, .ican.".
said in a trembling voice, my
friends have deserted me and I
am virtually an outcast'' ' VK"
When the senator gaye utter-r
ancesto these expressions .he
doubtless recalled his 'admoni
tion to his constituemts in Kan
sas te live ? an honorable - life.
To be friendless is a dreadful
thing! but Id have ''once' held 0 a
high position and been the idol
ot a million and a half of. con-
stituents who were ever . ready
to dance attendance, upon his
every wish and then to be sud
denly ( Stripped of f, influence,
power, adulation, confidence
and respect and to be shunned
by those who formerly courted
him is a more dreadful cundi-v
tlOn : . ? ' " ' -'i';"!-'-'
Pity has supplanted and taken
the place of respect, and . this is
the most mortifying and humi
liating phase of the case to the
principal. j(,u;- v,l5! ,
, Since the indictment was re
turned against thim more than
a year ago J Ralph Burton . has
never, entered the senate cham
ber and .has never attempted
to exercise hia privileges " as . k
senator from the state of Kan
sas. .. He might have attempted
to have represented his constit-j
uenta on the floor of the senate
had it not been for a remark
made by the venerable senator
Qeorge Hoar of Massachusetts,
that it would not be proper for
a man with so serious a charge
pending against him to enter
the senate cbsmber aud partici
pate in the enactment of laws
for the' government of the peo
ple of the country, - - - -
fh new year will soon be
here and thja will be a good
time to make a resolution to
quit kicking about the town and
join the. glad, hand club, and
begin shaking hands with your
self and demonstrating to your
neighbors that you are glad you
are a live and dad you live in
La Graude,'l 0,!
' Every one should begin now
to prepare themselves for the
great era of prosperity which is
sure to strike this town early in
the year of 1905. It is coming
jast as sure as' Grande Ronde
valley , j produces,, big i apples.
Those who are ready (to receive
their share of this great wave
will have reason, to be happy
and those who ire too slow to
rnnw "791 :z.r nMvu iu
rives will " continue to wonder
why they are not on the road to
projpV.rity . and will very
likely, put up wail about the op
opression the massed and tend
ency of the times to keep , the
poor man down. if lci
