Walthill Times: When the pen fell from the fingers of Mose Warner, editor of the Lyons Mirror-Sun, after thirty-one years of faithful w.orjk. 'and tha't which iV'immofCal pass'eo through the outward-swinging gates into the mysteries of the eternities, Nebraska lost not only one of her Veteran editors, but also the psychic force of a character so unique as to seem in many points paradoxical. Having ljved in northeast Nebras ka since a nabej he was virtually a product of this part of the state and his life, co-temporary with its devel opment from a frontier to its present civilization, seemed as much a part of it as the ridces and ravines with which he was familiar. How far his1 nnitiKnninant alinnArl life. lnnf imt n ' uii.uuiiiuejib cuiijjviu ilia ucaiuiy la beyond analysis, but to the end of his career, which overlapped two thirds of a century, there survived in it much of the temperament and view-point of the early pioneer. In education he was not erudite, but in his modest activities there ap peared a 'homely wisdom born of in stinct and exnerience. He was not brilliant, but was! rather a persistent plodder who reached n goal by un flagging gait rather than, by swift,' intermittent flights. His dynamic virtue, which constituted the bedrock of whatever he achieved of success and reputation, was that he "stuck to his job." Of the simple type was the frame work of his character, like a tree with few trunk branches and those grown sturdy by years of struggle. He has been spoken of radical and partisan in his principles, but those traits, without doubht, were apparent rather than basic. The compass of his conscience pointed to the right pole and he held his prow rigidly to s Telephone Men are for Annual AW..'.Vi H3Ss2?SS3 &&&?. sww yv.AMt.vx - yrr;. ?, '?$ WZJirSb S-AftS&J HfAJi-M mMkf: crzi. . &m$r$r & (''T i i. mmm Telephone men are now preparing for winter sleet storms.

What was right, waf right with him regardless of expedf ence or the assertions of others. Hr did not temporize with wiong and hr hated what is evil. There was jc place in his consideration for com promise. With Mose Warner life was seriour and the products of his pen ever re fleeted that attitude. In fact at timer his paragraphs became so intense serious as to appear, by antithesis, excerpts of rare humor. When the "Mirror" reflected editorially his, sin cerest convictions, it never was ' b prolix argument, But by terse, point ed sentences, often epigrammatic ir a character end in n style as original as the assertion he indited. - Hif viewpoint was that of the historian rather than the prophet and the ''rem iniscences of his life and its environ ment seemed inexhaustible. Had Mose -Warner, like some, shift ed here and there, tiring of one, job and ever,. n quest of somelhingtyet ter, jiis Ufe might have 'been ftftiit less and his passing unknelled. He found his job he and stuck to it Though ho did not scale the walls of great fame, he lifted himself above his limitations and left a lasting im press on his community and a place in the esteem and respect of the jour nalistic brotherhood of the state as a worthy pioneer in that honorable field. -Vs..
