The graduating exercises were held
at the Central Opera House in the even
ing, Judge E. p. Seeds delivering
the address to the graduating class.
His talk was given in an eloquent and
characteristic style and did full credit
to the speakers reputation as an orator.
He chose as fitting subject "The
Constellation OF Life" He said that
the occasion brought forcibly to every
mind the ideas of the supremacy of
youth and education. These were dis
cussed from the standpoint of the Wis
ion of youth and the necessity of book
education. Heroism and success were
what each one strove for and what is
admired by the world. The elements
constituting these were inquired for
and found in what the speaker termed
the Constellation of Life. This constel
lation was composed OF five luminous
stars, observation, perseverance, truth.
fulness, courage and faith. These ul.
timsted in true culture and definite
character.
M. +. Leroy, President of the Board
of Education, in q few appropriate
words presented the class with thei
diplomas.

High School commencement.

If proof were required of the quantity
and quality of work that is being done
in our public schools, that proof was
furnished at the class day exercises held
in the Central Opera house last Thurs
day afternoon. The spacious hall was
filled to OVERLOOKING and the stage pre-
sented beautiful appearance, deco
rated with flowers and potted plants.
The productions of the graduates
could be heard distinctly in all parts of
the building, and their careful training
was much in evidence.
Each one of the large class of twenty
seven in his turn presented his subject
clearly and graphically and in manner
that more than did themselves credit.
Space will not permit synopsis of
each Grafton, but it is suffice to say that
no class has ever graduated that sur
passed this one in point of numbers and
excellence of scholarship, and that in
years to come each and every one of
them will be proud of the fact that they
were members of the class of go

w. L. Taylor's page illustration
Of Longfellow's Village Black
smith, printed in the January
Ladies Home Journal, doubtless
represents the highest attain
ment of the illustrator art.
The old smithy that the poet had
in mind when he wrote the fam
Gus poem, and the smith-''a
mighty man was he''-that he
chose as the type of his craft, are
reproduced in the picture. Mr..
Taylor in gathering material for
his series of illustrations of ''The
People of Longfellow," followed
the poets footsteps through New
England and made study Of the
scenes and personages of his
best-known works. AS result,
he is presenting in the Journal q
series Of illustrations that are
unequaled.

While there is a disposition

Of the two amendments to the
constitution carried at the late
election, it is sincerely hoped
that the legislature will take up
the ques tions in good faith, and
enact laws on the line of both
the referendum and dispensary
that will give the people of the
state a fair chance to judge of
their value. There is no ques-
ton but that large proportion
of our people believe that legis-
lation along these lines can be
effective and useful, and an hon
est and faithful attempt should
be made to put upon the statute
books the most practicable and
acceptable laws on the questions
involved. The present legisla-
ture is in duty bound to do this,
and if it fails it will be held re
sponsible by the people.

millions spent for drink rep
resent an absolute waste.
They are worse than wasted.
The liquor traffic is not only use
less, it is positive injury. 1t is
prolific source ofvice and crime,
Iof poverty and destitution. 1t
necessitates vast expenditure
for poor relief, police supervision
criminal prosecutions, jails, and
hospitals. The money spent for
drink would be better destroyed
or sunk in the Atlantic ocean.
The nation might be that much
poorer, but it would be soberer
and happier.
1t would seem that the econom-
ic aspects of the liquor business
ought to chal enge the atten ton
even of those who are insensible
of it's moral, social and political
influences. The diversion Of SO
vast a sum from the lines of use
full and productive industry must
affect them seriously. Nine
hundred millions of dollars turn
ed from the saloon into the chan
nels of legitimate trade might go
far toward improving the general
industrial condition. Rev. John
Woods, in Interior.
