The Editor S. A. Weller Dead Useful Life About Greatness The Pot and Potter CAMUEL A. WELLER many things dead. are so that may be said when a great man dies, 80 many vague recriminations and faint mistrustings of the scheme life--and death--that to enter upon an eulogy of one who has lived to do so much is fraught with grave uncertainty.

And no man who has vision can be far removed, nor no man who has tolerance, or forebearance, or integrity, or decision, or courage of the constructive type, can be far removed from greatness.

Any one of these things is in itself closely akin to greatness. a man has all of these there is no law or rote that can deny him a claim to eminence.
