TRIBUTES TO IV1ARK TWAIN
Humorists Countrymen Tell What Hia
Death Means to Americans
When President Tn ft was Informed
of the death of Mr Clemens he wrote
personally this statement
Mark Twain gave pleasure real In
tellectual enjoyment to millions and
his works will continue to give such
pleasure to millions yet to come Ho
never wrote a line that a father could
not read to a daughter His Iniino
was American but he was nearly as
much appreciated by Englishmen ami
people of other countries as by his
own countrymen lie has made an
enduring part of American literature
The death of Samuel L Clemens
Mark Twain has meant to Ameri
cans everywhere arid in all walks nt
life what the death of no other Ameri
can could have meant His personali
ty and his humor have been an In
tegral part of American life for so
long that it has seemed almost impos
sible to realize an America without
him Something of this feeling Is ex
pressed in the tributes to Ids memory
which following hard upon his end
have come from all parts of the Unit
ed States Some of these tributes are
printed below
William Lyon Phelps professor of
English literature at Yale university
The death of Mark Twain is a very
great loss to American letters I re
garded him as our foremost repre
sentative in literature at the present
day Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn his two masterpieces will live
for many years as illustrative of a
certain phase of American life
Colonel Thomas Wentworth niggin
son in Boston It is impossible to ex
aggerate the loss to the country
Mrs Julia Ward Howe now In her
ninety first year in Boston The news
of Mark Twains death will be sad to
many people Ho was personally high
ly esteemed and much beloved a man
of letters with a very genuine gift of
humor and of serious thought as well
namliu Garland novelist in Chica
go Mark Twains death marks the
exit of a literary man who was as dis
tinctly American as was Walt Whit
man The work of most writers could
be produced in any country but I think
we as well as everybody in foreign
lauds will look upon Twains work a
being as closely related to this coun
try as the Mississippi river itself We
who knew him personally hardly need
to speak of him as a man for all the
world knew him No one ever heard
him speak without being inspired and
no one ever saw him without being
proud of him
Geoige Ade at Kentland Ind I
read every line Twain wrote for he
was a kind of literary god to me His
influence has already worked itself into
the literature of our day We owe
much of our cheerfulness simplicity
and hope to him
Eooth Tarkington at Indianapolis
He seemed to me the greatest prese
writer we had and beyond that a
great man His death is a national
loss but Ave have the consolation that
he and his genius belonged to and were
of us
Charles Major at Indianapolis ne
created a new school of humor the
purpose of which was not only to be
funny but to be true
James Whitcomb Riley The world
has lost not only a genius but a man
of striking character of influence and
of boundless resources ne knew the
human heart and he was sincere He
knew children and this knowledge
made him tender
