PROF. NORTON STILL KICKING.
Kicks Against War, Against the Way
1t Was Conducted and Against
the Peace Policy.

the Peace Policy.
ASHFIELD, MASS, Aug. 25.-The twen-
tieth annual dinner in aid of Sanderson
academy was given this afternoon with
Charles Eliot Norton. professor emeritus
of fine arts, OF Harvard university, presid-
ing. There were addresses by Rev. Mr..
John W. Chadwick, of Brooklyn; G. Stan
ley Hall. president of Clark university, of
Worcester; Rev. DR.. P. S. Moxam, of
Springfield: Sherman S. Rogers, of Buffalo,
and Booker T. Washington. the principal
of the Tuskogee institute. Alabama.
The principal address was by Professor
Norton, who devoted himself to discus
sion of the late war He referred to the
academy's prosperity during the year, and
continued follows:
And yet our hearts have been heavy
with new weight of care, and the very
brightness Of the sunshine has but deep
ened by contrast the cloud Of our sorrow
ful thoughts-sorrowful that our nation
should have turned its back upon its old
ideals. and. standing at the parting ways,
SHOULD have chosen the ancient path. IA
miliar to the Old World. worn by the bloody
feet Of hapless generations. and which has
never led to anything but ill-the path of
aggressive war, Of foreign conquest, of
alien territorial aggrandizement the path
that leads from trouble to trouble.
The black and brutal visage Of war has
during the summer by the gallant deeds of
our men in service and by the good conduct
and marvellous good fortune Of our navy,
and by the general temper Of humanity dis
played SO soon as the actual fight was over
by both officers and men. But 1t has taken
on deeper shade Of gloom from the need
less sufferings which our brave soldiers
have had to endure from the lack of due
provision for their needs, alike in camp,
on field and in hospital. 1t has been a mis-
cradle spectacle of incompetency for which
account must be rendered and penalty ex-
acted"
After a review Of the events leading up
to the war, Professor Norton said:
Peace has nominally come. The actual
conflict has ended, but less than one hum
dred days of war has resulted in a revolu-
tion in the United States. The foundations
been unsettled; the principles upon which
the government depends have been violat-
ed; we have undertaken obligations which
neither our institutions nor our national
character enable us properly to discharge;
We, the one great non-military power in
of the nations burdened with the great
armies and navies; We have loaded our
selves with an enormous additional debt
and with an enormous increase of annual
expenditures. a permanent oppressive tax

national politics of the Old World. and of
