Dawes spoke briefly relative to the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
Rhode Island case, adding that he
had always thought there was very
little legislation necessary for the

of Congress to take care, by Iegisla-

then a Republican form of govern
ment would grow of itselfsoon enough.

following is an extract from his ad
dress to the students upon book
keeping:
II never could keep books-or
much else. I had library of them
opce. buS I couldn't keep them. -,
They were borrowed and carried
away by the people who could keep
books better than [ could. Nice
people, though /; my books were
quite carried away with them.
"Since accepting an invitation
to lecture before this college l have
been looking into the SCIENCE of
bookkeeping, and find that | was
woefully ignorant regarding its sim
plest principles. For instance, |
had been 'laborlng' under the mis-
taken impression all along that in
opening a new set of books you
used an oyster-knife or Jimmy
Il was gratifed to find, that you
didn't have to balance your books
on the end Of a pole, which would
smack too much of the circus to
conport with the dignity Of . count
ing room. I didn't get so far in my
study of the art of bookkeeping as
to ascertain precisely how you close
. set of books, but suppose you do
it in the usual way-close them
with the doxology.

if I am wrong | trust you will cor
rect me-we will suppose that A
