and girls at the age Of six and train
them through the successive grades until
at the age of fifteen they are ready for the
high school. The primary teacher is one

Mr.. Kimmel then spoke to the grad.

morning as suggestive of the thought to

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
At the Christian Church Last Sundsy-Ser-
mon BY Rev Ira W. Kimmel.

The closing exercises of the high
school for the year began with the Bscca-
laureate sermon on Sunday morning at
IL o'clock q. IN. at the Christian church
by the pastor, Rev. Ira w. Kimmel.
The church was tastefully decorated in
gold and white, the class colors, and
profusion of flowers on all sides. half
blown white roses, the class flower, pre-
dominating. Reserved seats for the
graduates and high school and teachers
were in the middle form of the church,
and at IL o'clock these filed into the
church in a body, while music hushed
their footsteps.
The preliminary remarks and the out
line OF the sermon and counsel follow:
To the superintendent of the county
and city schools the faculty of the high
school, teachers that are present this
morning, young ladies of the class of '99,
greeting.
On behalf Of this congregation. we
welcome you here this morning. We
feel honored that you have chosen this
church rs the place where the Baccalau-
reate sermon should be preached, and
where a word may be spoken, an idea or
thought suggested. that will inspire these
young graduates with an earnest desire
to seek for the best in life.
The people of North Yakima are proud
of their schools. We do not come to
you each day and tell you 30, but We
note the progress and as we see the i'm.
provement in our boys and girls, We re-
member the teachers with gratitude.
We especially congratulate ourselves
this morning on the closing of another
years successful work by our high
school. These graduates are the work of
your hands. The course has been tin
ished. These young ladies' come from
under your care and instruction after
careful study of the course YOU have pre-
scribed, and having successfully passed
their examinations, and not only this,
but let us hope with characters that will
stand the test of time and eternity; with
an Imagination as pure as the dew that
is distilled from heaven; vision clear
and noble; and u high. clear and we'll

AS TO TRUSTS.

Col. Robertson has at last found an ed
itorial hobby he can ride without fear OF
being endorsed by the Yakima contin-
gent of his party, known as bell-weath'
ers. The Col quotes, in his apology for
trusts, the attorney general OF Missouri,
who says: THE only way to stop the
growth of trusts is by concerted action
on the part OF the legislatures" The at
torney general when asked how ma
tional issue could be made of the trust
question frankly stated he did not know.
Nobody else knows" triumpbanty
shouts the Republic. The attorney gen
eral of Missouri has bitten off more than
he can chew when he holds that through
state action alone the trust octopus
NAV be laid low. How long will the
Missouri statute stand in the Fed
eral court which permits state
debtor Of n trust organized under the laws
of New Jersey, for instance, TO refuse to
pay debt to the trust company? About
az long az the proverbial snow ball in
Manila. The attorney general, in striv-
ing to enforce laws plainly IN contraver-
ton OF the federal constitution is doing
exactly what the trusts want him to do.
The way TO put a stop to trusts is to make
it penal offense and enforce the law IN
der the u. 5. statutes against persons
entering into conspiracy in restraint oil
trade or interstate commerce. That this
can be done has been proven from the
foundation of the common la" OF
course there are WAYS how not to do n
thing, which the authorities wink at,
but this is a simple plan and an etfeclual
one, if national politics are ever purified
enough to give it an actual test.
The state, however, may supplement
the federal statute against unlawlu com
binations, by taxing the trust out of ex-
stence. The state has absolute power
over foreign corporations and can dis
quality and prohibit them by legislative
enactment SO as to render them power
less to Cypress the citizen.

The remarkably able presentation of
the trust question from humanitarian
point of view in another column will
doubtless attract wide attention. There
can be but one fair criticism made to
Kew. Ii. NJ. Bartlelts argument aud that
= he does not show clearly. wherein lies
the remedy. Some of the remedies lie
with the State aud some with national
egislation, as he says, but the distinct
i've remedies aIe not clearly defined. We
nave underworld II point out the LEGAL
"cmedie> OF both state and nation. The
,aissez iaire doctrine, or 20 as you please
policy, will soon entreuch these bodies,
until legislation is powerless to act Ma.
tional policies can only be enforced by
national parties. at least that has been
the common experience Of the Ameri-
can people and, Mt present, there is no
other possible solution OF the question
than by party action, supplemented by
proper legislation.

BICYCLE DEALERS PROTEST.
The Measure to Tax Wheels Brand
ed as an Injustice.


Numerous leading bicycle dealers have
entered a vigorous protest with the Dis
trict Commissioners against the PROPOSE
tion to tax bicycles. They have also re-
quested a public hearing before the pro-
posed bill is reported to Congress, and if
the hearing is obtained the dealers will be
represented by a responsible committee
Time is also asked for petitions to be cir
culated among local bicyclists for the pur-
pose of showing how many are opposed to
such legislation.
The local bicycle dealers have demon
strated their attitude in long letter to
the Commissioners, in part as follows:
In our opinion, a tax bicycles is an unfair
aud unjust discrimination against the owners
OF such vehicles We consider any public or
private conveyance much more ancnablc to such
a tax. Is horses and wagons certainly ntliCt
greater injury streets and roadways than the
bicycles. \ tax Of 81 each would he entirely
out uf proportion the value OF the bicycles

that. should all the bicycles in the District h.
sold at public auction. an average price OF Sl2
each could hardly be realized.
As dealers. have further ground for obiec-
tion to such 4 bill, considering tine fact that We
require the bicycles for trial purposes. employees
