national life. would cause peace and
plenty to abound. and instead of q ma
tion bowed beneath political misrule,
where all functions are turned to the
qualification of personal ambition,
would stand u nation erect. powerful
and just.
Today personal ambition is the mo-
tive, be it secret or acknowledged,
which rules. as with rod of iron. the
large majority of those holding posi-
tions of political distinction. If we eH-
anime history carefully we see that
such a condition of things is not of re-
cent origin. for unrestrained ambition
has record of 5000 years, during
which it has been the most dreaded
enemy of every form of established
government. Every phase of political
evolution is marked by crimes of the
most dreadful character, perpetrated
upon those who refuse to bow and be-
come obedient to it. And vet, when
rightly controlled, when curbed by
motives broader and nobler than those
of self aggrandizement, it becomes a
source of national blessings. Such
ambition animating every either, serves
to bring to public notice the strongest
and best men, and to place in their
hands the administration of govern
ment.
Ambition was not possessed by Alex
ander the Great. Hannibal, julius
Caesar and Napoleon, alone; but is also
to be seen noble in its aims, pure in its
methods, in the character and deeds of
Washington and Lafayette, Lincoln
and Grant. The one class attempting
anything that would promote personal
interest, the other laboring conscien-
tiously for the good of the state; the
one possessed by love of power, and
supporting a rule or ruin policy; the
them willing, should the public good
rule, and give place to others.
The vindication of ambition is found
in the award of the state; and must
come because of service rendered.
The test is found in the willingness of
the citizen to thus subordinate his in
terests, or make them synonomousw with
those of the nation. For long time
| in the political world the principle has
been accepted that ''the end justifies
the means,'' and that the party should
be kept in power by any means whether
honorable or dishonorable. Such a
policy can only react disastrously upon
national life. If government cannot
be maintained by honorable means, let
it fall! Rather shatter every hope and
ambition, forfeit every personal emolu.
ment, but leave pure our national
honor. Already political ambition and
political knavery have formed an alli-
ance whose threatening aspect portends
disaster. The executive, legislative
and judicial powers of state have been
diverted too often from their proper
function of "making itas easy as posi-
BILE to do right and as difficult as pos.
sible to do wrong" until might makes
right, and virtue is called upon to sac.
rifce to the political trickster. Thus
the moral sense must be eventually
completely paralyzed in the strife to
satisfy personal desires. Political
abuses also arise from the weakness Of
the individual or from lack of know.

sexes; or rather a code of morals
for the girls and a code of
immorals for the boys who are
their brothers and companions.
This is most degrading to both; de-
structive of the noblest qualities of
manhood and the sweetest and truest
joys of love, life and home.
The young are taught, by example at
least, that smoking, chewing, swearing
and drinking are right for boys and
wrong for girls. While the girls must
spend their evenings at home, boys are
permitted to spend their evenings where
they please and as they please, even
though that be in the barroom or gam
bling den.
Young women are expected to live
chaste lives but young men are allowed
free range of unbridled pleasures
even to such an extent as to make
them unfit to be the companions of
their sisters.
How many fathers there are who
would not have their daughters follow
their example.
How many boys and young men there
are who think it the height of culture
to be able to swear elegantly, to smoke
gracefully, to chew or to drink accord
ing to the most approved style. But
if they should find that their sisters
wanted to do these things also. would
they encourage them to form such
habits? If they found that their sis
J ters did do these things, would they be
proud of their achievements? No,they
!; would be shocked; they would be
ashamed of them. Nay, more than
that, such girls would find themselves
excluded from society, ostracized.
We are told that the young man who
takes in his mouth cigar or pipe
turns his back on the sanctuary OF
home aud on the temple of religion and
sets his face toward the barroom, the
saloon, the penitentiary. The path OF
abstinence leads in the direction OF
home enjoyments, chastity and religion
And the path of indulgence leads to
idleness, tippling, profanity aud crime
The worst enemy OF the young man il
the saloon. The entrance to its doors
is the fatal step in a career of dissipa
tion, debauchery and crime. The asso
Citations met there are destructive oi

principles.

Commencement Exercises.
The past week has been ii busy as
we'll rs IL momentous one for the senior
class of the Black Hills college and
the faculty of that worthy institution.
The events ofcommencement week had
pleasure and regret by the eight young
people who have completed their col
legiate course and are about to cnter
upon the serious and practical work
of life. and by the other students and
the professors who will no longer enjoy
the companionship and society of these
young ladies and gentlemen.
The first event of commencement
week wu,
THE ANNUAL MUSICAL RECITAL
Given 10y Professors Boicourt and
Clark, at the chapel Saturday night.
Only small audience was present on
account of the storm. The numbers of
the program given were we'll selected
and suited to the usual Hot Springs
audiences. The instrumental num-
bers of Miss Boicourt showed her to
be possessed of good techneque, an
easy performer, u keen reader possess
ing soul, but lacking vitality which
some of the numbers require. The
"Rondo Capriccioso" of Mendelssohn
was specially we'll received as was
Brassin's "Nocturne.' The ''Intermez-
10" in ID major, and the ''Gavotte,' in
A flat minor, by Sgambati, deserved
better recognition by the audience than
they were accorded. The gloom of the
weatheroutsides seemed to have an effect
upon the audience and though Miss Boi-
court worked hard to please her audit
ors, and succeeded, too. as was evident
from the attention given her, and
expression of faces. it was not until
near the end of the program that they
awoke to the fact that they we're un-
courteous and meted to her the praise
she deserved. This cold bloodedness
is characteristic of Hot Springs audi
ences either because they do not know
good thing when they hear it or from
certain fear by each that they will
become conspicuous if they are the
first to express their appreciation.
The vocal numbers of Prof. Clark
were pleasing. Her voice has not the
volume and sustaining qualities oper-
etic pieces require but is eminently
fitted for most of the numbers which
she selected for Saturday evenings pro-
gram. "Ouvrez tes yeuN bleu," a
French song by Massenet, and IL Ger
man song by Abt "kukuk, vie alt?"
brought out the tlute-like quality of
her voice to a good advantage and were
heartily encored. The save Maria" by
Mascagni is hardly within the range
of Miss Clark's voice, but with the
violin oblagato of Mr.. 1. V. Warner, was
we'll received, and showed the result of
method and training perhaps better
than any other number given by her.
She responded with 'Annie Laurie y
naccompaniest is born, not made,
and it is as natural for Miss Morrell to
follow the movement of singer as to
breathe. Her talent is innate, as well
as trained, and her accompaniment
added much to the success of the
program.

advice to the members of the gradual

PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

The greatest danger which confronts
the people OF the arid regions and of
the great prairie states which draw
their water supply from the Rocky
mountains is the destruction of the
forests. The dense timber of the
mountains holds the SHOWS of winter
and forms a great natural reservoir to
quench the thirst of the arid plains be-
low. Destroy the forests and all will
be changed.
Already on the Laramie plains wa
ter Is becoming scarce, and largely
from the cause stated. Fifteen years
ago there was a great body of water in
Cooper lake, lone lake was full, and
Steamboat lake, Sportsman's lake and
Como lake had an ample supply Of wa
ter. Now they are all perfectly dry,
and agriculture is being conducted in
some Of their fertile beds. The Lara
mic river flows considerably less water
than formerly, and streams that used
to be Of a respectable size are now al
most dry.
1t is a question of national import
ance, because the lack of moisture to
supply the streams of the mountains
means a lack of water in the rivers
which flow through the prairie states.
At certain times in the year a person
can cross the Platte river in Nebraska
without wetting their feet.
For every tree that is cut down in
the arid states two should be planted,
and the national government should
aid in the work.
In speaking Of the wanton destruc-
ton Of the forests Of the west, Prof. w.
T. Foster Of st. Joseph, Mo-, makes the
following sensible and timely remarks:
There may not have been a great
American desert, but there certainly
will be unless the practices are revers-
Cd. The forests of the Rocky noun
tains are being destroyed, principally
BY carelessnees in permitting forest
nres. When the destruction of these

streams will very materially decrease
their fow. the streams west of the Mis-
sour1 will cease to water the great
plains. An Intermittent will become a
perpetual desert, preventing the lows,
which carry the moisture for the great
lakes. upper Mississippi and the Ohio
valleys, from receiving their supplies
from the Gulf Of Mexico, and the result
must be m increase of aridity from the
Rockies to Alleghanies. Three great
countrfeCMey,co. the United States
ard Canada-are vitality interested in
preserving the forests of the Rockies. !
