touched the goal.
The organist for the tableaux, Miss May
Stouffer, was complimented on all sides. The
reunion of the alumni students and their
friends around the tables, so elegantly ar
ranged by the hopsekeeper, Mrs. INNS, re-
Gently of the st. James Hotel, Raltimore, was
a most Joyous and glad occasion, and ample
Justice was done by large company at late
hour.
The commencement exercises by the grad
uating class were held in College Hall on
Thursday night The audience filed not only
the hall, but the passages, windows and col.
lege grounds. After an instrumental trio and
a brief prayer by Rev. ID. n. Browning, the
salutatorry was given by Miss Nora Ecker, of
Cherry Grove, Carroll county. This per
formance was more than credit to herself,
her parents and her Alma Mater, and the
Young lady's college standing was announced
as being within one hundredth OF the hrst
honor IA close race). The next performance,
after an instrumental duet by two OF the grad
yates, was an essay, entitled, what Dust
| Make by Miss Nellie Slingluff, OF Avalon
Farm, Carroll county. The essay was good
one, and was read in q clear and distinct
voice; and the young lady's commanding
presence and graee-bearing called forth many
favorable comments during the iHterlgde,
which was occupied by the appropriate solo,
ssComin' Thro' the Rye" The honorary es-
say, .sArt as a Means of Cultures, by Miss
Rosa NJ. Weaver, of New Windsor, was, IN
the best sense, worthy of the honor that is
attached to this standing in her class, and
was read with blending of modesty and
elearness which was most admirable. After
another brilliant instrumental duet, the prize
essay, on '.Kilg Leaf was read py Mls ;:
Carrie E. Mason, of Baltimore, Nd. This
prize is awarded by the faculty of the college
for the best essay written on one of Shakes
peare's plays-''King Lear" The competi-
tors submit their compositions written In 9
hand other than their own, and they are read
and graded by the several members OF the
faculty without knowing the authors, and the
essay which receives the highest grade is en-
titled to the, prize. Miss Mason's essay re

couraging news The great obstacle hitherto
in the way of the extension of the Order has
been the lack of State organization, but, of
course, that could not be had in any State
until at least five Corps had been instituted
there. Now that nearly ever State has that
number, however, and blank applications
for the organization Of the various local
Corps into Departments have been prepared
at National Headquarters, we may expect
to see the Order thoroughly established
very soon in every State where the Grand
Army has secured a foothold, and the work
of building up the Order proceed in a sys-
tematic and orderly manner There can
no longer be any question that by the close
of the year the Order viii be thoroughly
organized in every part of the country, and
that the most sanguine hopes of the noble
women who at Denver, last July, undertook
to create ont of the scanty material then at
hand homogeneous National Order, viii be
fully realized.

A SUBSCRIBER wants THE TRIBUNE to
publish Senator Becks record. Upon turn
ing to the Congressional Directory, we find
the following:
James 3. Beck, of Lexington, KY, was born in
bunfriesshire, Scotland, February 70, 1872; re-
eeived an academic education in Scotland; gradu-
ated as lawyer at TTassylvania University, Lex
ington, KY, in March. 1916. and practieed there
never holding any Office until elected a Repre-
sentative In the Fortieth, Forty-rst Forty
and Forty third Congresses; declined reelection
as Representative; was elected to the United
Senate as Democrat, to succeed John w Steven
son, Democrat; took his seat March 5, 1877, and
was reelected in 1882. His term Of service viii
expire March, 1859.
What is not stated in this innocent little
biography is that during the war Mr.. Beck
was an ardent sympathizer with the South
although careful not to shoulder musket
in support of his principIes-and that since
the war he has been the Union soldiers
most relentless and inyeterate foe The
first fact accounts fully for the last. The
stay at-homes and Southern sympathizers
are all poisoning out nowadays as SLAM

Mastering Officer, Department of Dakota,
in reporting the organization of new Post
at Millbank, Grant county, states that the
Department now numbers ffty-six Posts,
all in good working order" This is a
splendid showing, and our Dakota comrades
are to be congratulated on the energy, pluck
and persistence which they have displayed
in building up, in so brief period, a Depart

Errors such as the above, perpetrated in

IN 1880. when the last census was taken,
the total number of cotton mills in the
South was $50, operating 1922 looms, and
1888 spindles. Since then the number of
mills has increased to 3f4, the number of
looms to "a, 87S, and of spindIes to !, 276,244
Before the war the South bought all her
manufactured cotton of the North; last
year the product of Southern cotton mills
was valued at $4,000, 600 Little did old

the slave meant the emancipation of the

A Chat with our Contributors.

"A Chat with our contributors.
In proportion as the circulation of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has increased, the vol
ume of its daily correspondence has enlarged
until it has become impossible to find room
in our crowded columns for all the items of
news, military "reminiscences and editorial
comment which the mails bring u.s. From
the present issue, for instance, we are COM
esting Grand Army reports, including nu-
merous records of ostelections and installa-
military topics the printing of which would
afford us quite as much pleasure as the
senders. But, although in the adjustment of
matter to space, which is necessary TO main
tain in each number an agreeable variety of
contents, we are unable to avail ourselves of
all the good things that are offered our
volunteer contributors must not, on that
account, imagine either that we do not
properly appreciate the value of their COM
munications or that we do not give them the
careful consideration which they deserve.
The fact is that in their letters we often
find suggestions of the greatest value, and,
through a comparison of diverse views, are
the better able to determine what it is to the
best interest Of all that should be said and
done.
Our correspondents should clearly under
stand, however, that the mere fact that they
have written letter to The editor does not

Kansas to the Front.
1t was well understood at the last Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand Army, at
Denver, that great things might be expected
of the sprightly young Department of Kan
sas, but the result surpasses the most san
guine anticipations.
We learn from Assistant Adjutant-Gen-
eral Deyendorf, who has been most ardent
and efficient colaborer with Department
Commander Anderson in the work of build
ing up the Order, that during the year end
ing December 81 last, 145 new Posts were
organized in the Department, and 10000
comrades added to the membership, as will
be seen by the following comparative state
ment
Number of Posts. Total Membership.
JSs2-147 1882 6 633
I853-299 1SS3-17, 600
These returns are, of course, not official,
since the reports from the various Posts were
not all in at the date Of compilation but
the gains are likely to be increased rather
than diminished by the final footings 1t is
significant that the orders for badges for
warded to National Headquarters from this
Department by Assistant Quartermaster-
General Murdoch during the year amounted
to 1921!
The numerical growth of a Department,
however, is not always a sure indication of
Its prosperity, and so we hasten to add that
the snug sum of $4,000 has been expended
for charity; that many of the Posts are
fully uniformed; that although, owing to
the lack of means, the Post-rooms are not as
handsomely furnished as those in older De-
partments, the spirit of true fraternity is
as potent and all-pervading there; and,
finally, that twelve Woman's Relief Corps,
auxiliary to the Grand Army, have been es-
tablished, and at the coming Topeka En-
campment will be organized into Depart
m ent
This is certainly magnificent showing,
and it is solely the result of earnest, persist
emf effort, conscientiously and intelligently
directed. Departments do not treble in
membership of their own accord in single
year, under the most favorable circum-
stances, and phenomenal as is the growth of
this Department, it is SO simply because the
enthusiasm and interest in the work dis
played by the comrades, from the Com
mander down, have been equally phenome-
nal. What has been done in Kansas can be
done in other States, if only the same spirit
is displayed.
1t must be confessed, however, that the
possibilities of future growth in the Depart
ment of Kansas are far greater than exist
anywhere else. The soldier population in
that State, as shown by the local census re-
Gently taken, approximates 100000: and, as
only 900 out of this number have as yet
been mustered into the Order, there is, evil
IDENTITY, occasion for even more energetic and
judicious work in the future than has been
performed in the past.
But our Kansas comrades are, doubtless,
fully equal to the task before them, and
perhaps they intend to surprise us all, one
of these days, by appearing at the National
Eneampment as the banner Department.
