His miscellaneous writings consisted of a number of articles and two books in collaboration:
- The Government of the American People, 1902 (With Dr. Frank Strong)
- Democracy in Reconstruction, 1919 (With Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart)
This bibliography, though incomplete, shows an impressive product for a man with seven children for whom he had to make a living and to whom he was the jolliest and most companionable of fathers; a man who gave himself in correspondence, in lively discussion, in encouragement, and in good turns to hundreds of friends; who regularly did more than a full day's work of teaching and administration and public service; who had only a lesser quantity of the time that other men give to leisure; who from 33 to 73 worked in a study where a light burned when all the rest of the neighborhood was dark and quiet.
LAMP IN THE WEST
ELLA HIGGINSON
Mrs. Ella Higginson, noted writer of prose and verse, who spent her girlhood and early womanhood in Oregon City, Portland, and La Grande, died on December 27, 1940, at Bellingham, Washington.
Where unknown dangers be,
And cross the troubled, moaning bar
To the mysterious sea—
Dear God, wilt thou not set a lamp
Low in the West for me?
