II must be said In Justice to the trio
Of machine editors, whose terp OF Office
just expired that they leave behind
them an enviable record They deserve
the highest praise for the careful and
earnest manner in which they performed
all tho arduous duties falling to the lot
of their respective Offices. Thoy took
all the burden Of risk In an untried enter
prise and never once did they fail to
measure up to their responsibility.
Triumphant over NIL obstacles the praise
is surely theirs.
We. who are about to enter upon cdi-
tors careers with the grave responsi-
bility of making this column n success
during our incumbency, commend the
good work OF our predecessors, who
started the BULLETIN on its term of
existence. We wish to say that IL will
be our aim TO make 1t interesting. We
only hope that we can accomplish as
great success as the previous editors,
but we cannot do this unless all cooper
ate with us. Let each do his part to-
ward the upbuildng Of the whole. Hop

Elections and victory. Why we have

and the one to be remembered was the
efctory last Friday which marked the
overthrow of the upper machine. They,
relying on the saying "A few can do
much," tried to defeat the lower classes
but failed. much TO their sorrow. The
lower classes by rheir superior knowl-
edge of parliamentary rules, defeated
them. They were confident to the last,
but when returns were received, broke
down entirely. Great applause followed
the announcement of the result.

that announcement were true II is impossible
that he should have escaped.
