THIRD TERM BOOMLET.
The Secretary Of Agriculture Compares
the Administration of Mistakes to the
Career Of o Successful Bank Presldent.

tho Administration of Mistakes to tho
Career Of q Successful Bank President.
st. Louis, Nov. PA boom for Cleve-
land for third term has been started
by Secretary Of Agriculture Morton,
who has allowed himself to be inter-
viewed. Mr.. Morton disclaims au-
thority to speak for the president, but
the declaration, coming from a MEM
Der of the presidents family. cannot
help being regarded as significant.
1t Is true his ~utterances before this
have called forth rebuke from his chief,
and 1t would not be surprising II the In
terview of today would result In some
definite statement from MIR. Cleveland.
or ome one authorized to speak for him
on the subject Of a third term-that is.
If the president has decided to put the
temptation behind him.
In the course of the interview Secre-
tary Morton said: why should Presi-
den Cleveland be opposed to a third
term any more tina a bank president?
This is not stating that President Cleve-
land is a candidate for a third term,
for as to that no n knows but him.
self. The talk of third term has been
confined only to newspapers, and there
is no one who car say he ever heard
Mr.. Cleveland give an expression on
the subject.
II am not in a position to state
whether Mr.. Cleveland will be a candi-
date or not. There is thing l can
say, however-the management of the
government IL a business, as is the
management Of a bank. In a bank the
business is entirely confined to the
management of the finances of many
people.
IF a bank president has proved him
self competent and faithful he is re-
elected, not only once or twice, but a
dozen of times. The business of n gov
eminent Is hat of managing and pre-
serving the interests of the people of a
nation and maintaining life, liberty and
property. and If a bank president is
elected many times why should it not
be so with the president of the United
States?"

 It Is hard to be original in a class vale dictory, since so much that is conven- tiOnal must be in sight, yet Miss Eaton's words to visitors, to school officials, and to teachers, classmates, and all school fellows, were touching, graceful and easy. We copy the closing words to the class mates:
 Classmates With feelings of sadness to you say goodbye. We have gather ed for the last time as a class of the Staf- ford high school; and though we are glad that we have finished the prescribed course, and are prepared for graduation, yet there is a touch of sorrow underlying the pleasure when we remember that we must so soon be separated one from an- other. We have been happy together in these years now closing, and while the ties which have bound us so pleasantly as Q class must now be broken, let us hope that our mutual friendships will ever remain firm. We have all heard of the golden opportunities of youth, and regret that those which have already been given to us have not been better improved. But this is time to look forward; the past is gone; the future lies before us. And so, as we have gathered this evening at our commencement, hope that 1t may be in reality commencement for each one of us-the beginning of career SO noble that, whatever the mistakes of the past have been, in after years we can look back over our lives from thiss time with satisfaction. While tonight we must bid one another farewell, I trust that one day we shall all meet where good-byes will never be said. And now, dear classmates,

BLANCHE oLEAvELAND.

BLANCHE OLEAVELAND.
 We should be truly grateful for your kindness in giving us privileges of pub ilic school, and tonight hope to give evil sdence of good use of this privilege. The pride of our country is the general eduea- tion of the people. Our pilgrim fathers were men of thought and intelligence, land soon after they had built homes for themselves they established the public schools, and required attendance from Ea Their policy has extended westward sIn new communities the first matter oi Rbommon interest has always been the public school. and the idea is also extend ing tostAg south. { What a change from the small un. graded schools remembered by older peo- pie asexisting outside of the larger cities to the graded schools now found in every considerable village. Our own town serves as an excellent example of this progress. Fifty years ago the school fund was small, and the records show that wood for school use was paid for by tax on scholars.
 Fourteen years ago there were in Staf, ford Springs two ungraded schools. These were united, and the school building we now use was erected. A high school was included in the plan, and now Stafford boasts a high school of eleven years standing.
