The End of a Boss.
Edward Butler, the boodler
and political boss who died in St.
Louis recently, was a striking
example of that kind of men in
whom is combined the good and
bad traits of human nature. He
was loyal to his friends, gener
ous to the poor, and his word
was always as good as his bond.
On the other hand there was
nothing at which he would stop
to further any end he might
have in view. He looked upon
politics as a game in which it
was proper to use any method
that might be necessary to in
sure success.
He made no deal directly with
the dirty creatures who did his
work but he had trusty agents
who did his work for him. He
would not admit that politics of
that sort was disreputable and
could never be made to under- j
p*—-stand why people should see
anything disreputable in such
practices. He began life as a
blacksmith, working for daily
wages and died worth $3,000,000
much of which was secured
through deals in affairs with
which politics was connected.
Butler was caught in the net
which Joe Folk threw into the
foul sea of St. Louis politics, and
£as convicted. One of those le
galities through which
■so many have escaped justice
kept him from ending his days
in the penitentiary. After the
dismissal of the charge against
him, he retired from public life,
and was heard of no more ex
cept upon occasions when his
~--~~
him by the perso
possessed—by hi
generosity and his consideration
for the class of people among
whom He had origin.
There are occasions when ex
cuses for descent into the depths
of moral turpitude, for men with
Butler’s natural quality of mind
and heart seem difficult to with
hold. Had he remained in the
straight path his native talent
would have insured him financial
success as marked as that which
he attained by his political me
thods. Doubtless his lapses
were due more to impressions
received from his surroundings
in early life than from a natural
ly depraved nat ure.—Fort Smith
Times-Record.
To Organize Church.
Rev. M. B. Umsted, who re
cently conducted a revival meet
ing at Diaz, has succeeded in in
teresting the people of that
place so much in church work
that a church has been organ
ized with a membership of fifty
two.
The congregation are planning
to build a neat church to cost
about two thousand dollars, to
be built on two lots north of the
school house, which will proba
bly be donated by Mr. J. R. Cox
of this city.
Mr. Umsted has written for
plans and hopes to have the
building finished in three
months. The Diaz church and
Dowell’s Chapel at Battle Axe
will probably constitute a work,
each congregation having two
Sundays.
