days. Those pioneers built better than
they knew when they made this edu-
cation as free as the air. In regard TO
the kind words of Brother Barnes and
the boys of the country embrace this
opportunity to thank them all and pay
my respects to the brave, sturdy love
and purity of the boys from the coun-
try. May my right hand forget it's
cunning when fail to remember their
kindness to me to represent this portion
of the great state.
But l believe / am to speak of
Problems. The world is full of prob
lens for the young and the old. Go to
the cradle and see the babe with bright
eyes as he reaches out his little chubby
hands to get the toy. Follow that
child through life and as gray haired,
wrinkled old man, about to repose in
mother earth, he is still confronted
with the problem-the problem OF
eternity and leaves off where he began
struggling with problem he can never
solve. The republic, as we'll as the
monarchy, the municipality and the
ward has it's problems. Those equa-
sions with unknown quantities-we
studied them in school. There we
called them fractions. / believe it was
vulgar fractions and the name was an
appropriate one. We finished fractions,
and algebra and the geometry. We
walked along the base, climbed up the
PERPENDICULAR and slid down the by po-
tenuse of the triangle and when we
were through all we knew was that the
square described on the hypotenuse
was equal to the square described on
the other two sides. We have all been
solving problems since and the problem
for today is how many of the old boys
and girls we can take by the hand and
ask them what of the night, what
problems have you been given to solve?
We want to know about the wife and
babies-to look into the home and see
the children playing about the door
We want to see you solving the actual
problems of life. SchoOlmates we have
a great deal in common. Tho inherit
ance we have is one to be cherished in
the very sanctuary of the heart. This
is beautiful custom and thank you
for the greeting you have given me at
such a time. The public man today
needs not only the help and sympathy
of friends, but he needs the prayers
that he may not go astray in carrying
out the work of this great republic
This is not time for polished senti.
ments or FURNISHED periods. All WE
have to say should come from the
heart and l want to give way to others
OF the old boys and sincerely hope that
when two more years have sped away
and God knows how fast they run,
may again be able to take each one O.
you by the hand and learn whether The
problem given to you has been hard
and if so, to sympathize with you anC
if the problem has been easy of solu
ton to congratulate you".
The speech of Mr.. Quarles was
greeted with great applause. This
ended the program of the speeches, but
several hours were given up to extern
peraneo1s speeches. Among those

Charles Quarles, A. D. Wheeler, Col
Denis Hynes, Myron E. Baker, Charles
Jackson, Mrs. Leander Stone, Fred

All the speeches had the true ring,
but it would not be right to pass the
notice of the banquet without men
ton of the speech of Charles Quarles.
The we'll known attorney was in one OF
his happy moods. He said that in the
firm his brother Joe furnished all the
sentiment. In support of this he told
the story of the woman who came into
the Office to speak of the welfare of the
lawyers soul. Mr.. -Quarles stated that
he turned to the woman and said, 90
you are not looking for me; you are
looking for Joe, ne is the man with the
soul".a He said that furthermore be
was always accustomed to talking for
money and If he made a speech he
would be certain to return to Milwau
kee and charge it up to one or all of his
clients. He said that that be was re-
minded of an old client of his, who
was native of the Emerald Isle. For
the sake Of the story he called him Pat.
Now Pat, came to this country and was
successful and one day his wife became
tired of having him considered an
Irishman and explained the matter to
her friends in this manner: Now, you
see Pat isn't an Irishman at all, but
when he came to this country he got
mixed up with lot of vulgar Irish in
the storage and when he got off the
vessel the brogue stuck to him." In
the story he said that that
brother of mine has been mixed up
with these politicians for so long that
