consisted principally of examinations and
Field Day and the tennis tournament and
wound up with grand reception last
night in Simmons Hall. Over $50 invi-
| filled. 1t was a full dress affair and
dancing was the principal feature.
| Schulte'S orchestra furnished The music.
| 1t was delightful evening for dancing
and every one who could, danced. The
| reception gave the boys a chance to meet
many of their friends and say good bye
for the summer. 1t was delightful oc-
casion and brought the school and some
of its friends in the town together under
very pleasant circumstances.

There Is no doubt that the great ma
jority of the people Of Brighton and
Wheatland are just as good Americans
and just as patriotic as can be found any
where and furnished their proportion of
soldiers for the defense of the life of the
nation. Those patriots are just as much
entitled to the honor and gratitude of the
nation as any and the TELEGTAPH-COUR-
Ter would be the last one to take away
one iot or little Of their glory Any one
who thinks anything else is either not
honest or is foolish. But it remains that
the Estate Of Brighton" does contain
quite number who know very little, if
anything about the history of this coun-
try, and need enlightenment For that
matter such can be found in almost any
community. These national holidays
need to be made National days more and
society days less. The safety and per-
manency of this government depend upon
| the intelligence and the patriotism Of the
| people. Patriots look askance at any
thing. be it society or church or national
| ity, that threatens the suprem-
acy of Columbia in his heart
| The strength Of the German Empire rests
on the fact that it is a homogeneous and
sympathetic people. A Frenchman feels
a sympathy and fellowship for French
man that he cannot for an Englishman or
German, and the Irishman will shout
| for Irshmen and Ireland with his latest
breath. It is not right to ask him to for
get the glories and ties which he left be-
hind him but it is right that they should
learn the grand history of the heroic
struggles which the revolutionary fathers
braved. Valley Forge, Yorktown. Bun
ker Hill, Lundy's Lane, Shiloh, Murfrees-
| boro, Vicksburg and Gettysburg, are just
as glorious names as Austerlitz to the
| Erop n SoIop fO ho
Far be it from any patriot to dim one ray
Of glory or take one star from the crown
of the German-American or Irish -Ameri-
can or Anglo-American OF Catholic-Am-
erican or Protestant American who
braved the ballets Of the enemies of the
old flag and endured the fatigues, priva-
tions and diseases Of camp life in defense
of our country But when men want to
make political capital out of thing no
peyersion or twisting or lying is too alb
surd to be used for the purpose.
