how many failed where the fen sue
coed. Then to generalize his state
ments he made mention of how many
fail in their efforts to win the affec-
tions of some black-eyed maid, hold
ing up in pathetic manner the
hearts, all wounded and bleeding,
which had failed to realize their
cherished hopes, and as evidence
that the many strive while the few

to produce the effect they should, it
is no fault of the law, but because
they are not executed. The press of
to-day citing individual cases pro
coed to blame the laws, while in fact
individuals are to blame. There
must be q deep, wholesome respect
for the laws which should control
us, otherwise there will be anarchy

JUNIOR CLASS.
A. L. Cox-Oration-"The De
cay of the Republic" The speaker
took the ground that the United
States is destined to decay as the
nations of antiquity have done. He
maintained his position by com
parison of our country to the Repub-
lies of the East, showing that the two
chief elements which caused their
destruction are found in onr govern
ment: Luxury and Aristoeracy. In
his peroration he likened the rise and
fall of nation to the cbb and flow
of the tide, as the wave when it
reaches its summit, stands not still,
but sinks to its former level so a
nation rises high, but to sink as low
again.
