indications of tho feeling en frtalned t by bin associates toward ItI i Davis were shown In that the simple words of recognition of mm on the floor never fal etl to attract the attention t t overv Senator Were heheretoday ho Paid the Senate would fool atronccr The niilU 9 novbQlncrconaidoredlmd I J arisen largely from the offccts of measures meas-ures In which Mr Davla was interested npd for which ho earnestly worked I Li Mr Morgan said It was by earnest I j pnd consistent endeavor taut Senator I tt c ff Davis strove to nerve his country sinkIng sink-Ing his personality In his character of Senator It was aa chairman of the Committee on Foreign PelatiOns that he found the best field for his talents in the service of his country His accomplishments ac-complishments made him peculiarly fitted fit-ted for the labor and he soon took such rank that his opinions were followed by the Senate Ills nart In the framing of the Paris treaty was traced and great credit for the achievements there I J wan given to the late Senator 1 0 REVIEWS LIFE OF DAVIS I Mr Clark of Wyoming also an associate asso-ciate In committee work with Mr I Da Js devoted much of his address to i I a review of thc studious life led by the otc Senator and the mm fund of I knowledge which he had gleaned The j approval of bench and bar was the I moat JlUiiif testimonial to hla capacity CLS a lawyer As to Ms services In con noctlon with recent events It was said that he J was more the guide than the chairman for his knowledge easily made him first of that body CHARACTER ANALYZED Mr Lodge of Massachusetts analyzed 0 tho character Mr Davis as from I close personal friendship and said the I intn Senrrtor was not fully annrt > catod j aw a public man This he accounted for I by reason of the tendency tov belittle great man of today because without thought and trouble they cannot he jI I j brought for Judgment Into proper per j I spectlve with the past and because of J l the modesty which made him shrink from speaking In public except when It was a duty or a necessity FAITH IN THE PEOPLE Mr Lodge summed up as follOws In alt that he did in shaping our policy he was helped by his knowledge and bin studies by much careful thought and an Imagination which enabled him to project his vision into the future But that which was his surest guide I was a sentiment embodied In u profound pro-found patriotism and an intense Amer icanl m I do not mean that he was pucullurly l American because he held 0 Oei tain opinions on certain nubile ques tion or that he was moro patriotic than others who differed with him radically I radi-cally upon those same questions What I mean is that he had a faith In his people and their destiny which nothing I could shake and that ho Jievcr had a shadow of doubt or distrust as to their ability to meet any responsibility and any question bravely Justly and vic toriously1 0 S PROVED HIS PATRIOTISM lie had proved his patriotism like I 1 many other brave men on the field of I battle arid he hardly ever referred to1 it But his love of country and everything every-thing cpnncQtcd with Its history was with him a passion His thoughts were always upon tho great questions now before tho United States and In the last hours hfs country and her fortunes t wcio i uppermost In his mind as the shadows closed about him He was not a man who cried his Own virtues and proclaimed his own deeds In the marketplace mar-ketplace l but he did his worlta great work as the time demanded strongly l and well lie will find his place and reWard IIi the pages of history when the touyof these momentous years Is told That monument Is for other hands than 0 ours to build We can only bear imperfect 0 imper-fect witness to what he was to us who knew him and to leave his memory to The sllcnt melody of thought that sings A ceaseless requiem to tho sainted dead HIS LEGAL ATTAINMENTS Mr Daniel of Virginia paid a high tribute to the legal attainments of Senator Sen-ator pavls saying that whether In the lower courts or in International tribunals tribun-als ho would have been the peer of any antagonist against whom he might I have been pitted Erudite and Indefatigable Inde-fatigable his oplnlpns were always the best results a thoroughly trained I mind The addresses of Sbnator Davla 0 upon international law delivered In his ownState denominated tio best epitome epito-me of that sublcct In existence TurnIng r Turn-Ing to the eloquence of his late cql league Mr Daniel read many passages r from the Gettysburg address of three years ago and characterized It as noble r no-ble as the mann whose memory it was delivered LITERARY SIDE TOUCHED UPON MrSpooner of Wisconsin said ot Mr Davis that while many men had greater knowledge of case law few men had reached such a thorough understanding of the science of the law In any bar I and tribunal lie would have been prominent Touching on the literary side of his nature Mr Spooner said the facility of expression tho perfection of use of words seemed a natural attri bute and that In no public utterance perhaps was not there at least one sentence which might be taken as a model 0 Mr Pettlgrew and Mr McCumbcr paid high tributes to Mr Daviss character char-acter and attainments Mr Foster of Washington who had been a close friend of the late Mr Davis paid a tribute to his memory 0 0 TOWNES TRIBUTE To Mr Tone who by appointment fills the seat In the Senate occupied by Mr Davis was assigned the duty of closing the services His address was the first mude by MrTownc In the Senate and It had been prepared with care Mr rowne was unstinted in his praise of his predecessor of whom he said that while his virtues were known and appreciated Jn Minnesota he hod hardly reached the full recognition due him when he died Mr Towne said Death found Gush I man K Davis at the zenith of his pow era and at the summit of his opportuni i ties He stood at the head of thq com I I mittee which at the J present critical unciure In our btatoy is I the most prominent committee of the hlchest governmental body In the world If he policy on which his party lias CT1s lered upon Is to be pursued the unex Jlred portion of his current term eoin i pricing J the next four years must be allImportant in the shaping and ad justment ot thatpolicy related to numerous and complicated luternutlon nl Interests This WUHO situation cal culated to appeal to his hlshest umbl t iou to stimulate his greatest poten cles to spread before his mental vision the most satisfying prospect of worthy and enduring fame Yet here on the threshold of the consummation of h Uti career at the very entrance to that fair field for whose delimits and tforlea all his post Deemed to hnvo honn n i JT preparation inscrutable Fate hail llCU or dained that ho should t pause No ono realized the tragic pathos of the catus iropho more thanhe did yet he bore the sorrow of it with a heroism equal to the physical courage which he op posed to the stoutest assaults of patti He might wince but he would not cry out ho could express regret but he did not complain HIS RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS Mr Towno referred to Senator Davits religious convictions savlngr And when his feet touched the waters of the river beyond which lies thutun discovered country the glance that sought inquiringly the farther shore was a lance that felt no shade of fear As a young man he had for a time yielded to the Influence of that Irreli gious skepticism which was often the I I too hasty refuge of minds strangely Impressed by the wonderful develop ment of the psychical science shortly I I after the middle of the nineteenth cen tury But as he grew older and as his reasoning broadened and his habits of Introspection otrengthcncd the thought that ail the preparation of the centuries is purposeless and that the end of innumerable universes Is i 4 mere nothingness gave no comfort to his soul und found no justification In I I l I hla reason Familiar with the ancient I phllosophleBand with the general prln I I elplcs of recent science he found Ih I both of them that whlch < vhUfjt lcld1 I ed exclusive basis for a particular 0 creed yet gave ample support to the j sweet assurances of the Christian ra llglon respQctlnt the futurelife JIecUotcd senator Davit as sAyinp not long before his death I know hu man history and I know that In the first century < something happened that destroyed the old world and gave birth 4 I to the new The resurrection of Jesus would account for that chhnge and I do not know of any other adequate solution I I so-lution that hns ever been proposed I 1 Thus It seems to me the conclusions of philosophy the rationale of science and the tcachlncs of revealed religion I wild Mr Towne point unerringly to If immortality I At the conclusion of Mr Townos remarks i i I re-marks he moved the adoption of the resolution proposed by his colleague I Senator Nelson which being carried the Senate
