tunity Of witnessing the closing exeF-
cises OF this institution. THESE were
ushered in by reception given by the
president to the graduating class, the
faculty and visiting friends, The presi'
dent was assisted by his cultured little
wife who Feadily impresses her persen-
aiity upon all who come in contact
with her.
! The bacoalaureate sermon by the
president, DR.. J. Sanders, was preached
at the Seventh Street Presbyterian
church in town. DR.. Sanders, who is
man of fine personality, Of dignified
anu cOurtly bearing, is clear thinker,
eloquent in manner, with oratoricai
power to great degree. He chose for
his text Epheslsns 9th chapter 10th
verse-"Be strong IN the Lord" from
which he enforced the duty of educa-
tion IN lbs enlarged sense, OF titsing one
for life's duties, by self knowledge,
self d enial, purity of living and depen'
dence on divine guidance.
The Junior Prize Contest was an IN
teliectual and OratOIicaI struggle that
would have done credit to more am
bilious seat of learning. The award Of
the first prize TO Mr.. J. Arthur Byers
was la accord with popular feeling.
The nexs day was devoted TO the
alumni meeting with its routine busi-
ness, reunion and anniversary address.
The Commencement exerGlE eS Wednes'
day, aside fsom the Orations Of the
graduating class, was the occasion Of
the very bic, eloquent anG inspiring
address by Rev. j. z. E. Kumler, d.
| D., OF Pitts burg, Pa, His subject,
"The greatest power for good" was an
argument for education as a means of
developing a people TO their highest
possibilities and securing their Eigbt
ful place. The Afric0- American Pres
byterian, referring to it said, "He
touched and moved the audience as
had not been done by any OF his PIE
decessors; to undertake even in out.
line his grand address would be to mar
it,"
A word as to the graded schools of
Charlott. They, under the principal
ship OF Mrs. Wyche, the wife of the
Rev. DE. Wyche, pastor of the Saventh
Strees Presby terian church, assisted by
corps OF eleven teac hers, make
showing and do work which compares
fav0rably with that of our Washington
schools. It is no wonder such a result
is obtained as Mrs. Wyche Is a thor.
oughly up-to- date principal. Last year
she was at Chautauqua, and every Sum
mer finds her in attendance at some of
the popular summer schools.
Leaving Charlotte short run brought

Queer Themselves,

The path of the Democratic dema-
gogue is not always strewn with flow
ers. Early this year, when the Demo-
cratic leaders were casting about for
new issues, which task appears to con-
front them regularly every four years,
and just after they had arrived at the
conclusion that "trusts" would be quite
a vote catcher, The fool Democrats in
congress voted against proposition to
settle the question. thus placing the
party on record as favorIng trusts, or
at least demonstrating to the people
that the party tirst desired to use the
question for campaign issue before
consenting to settlement of the prob
lem. And this was not to be the worst
mishap for this important issue. A
few weeks prior to the Kansas City
convention the Democratic machine of
New York, which appearsto be the
head, tail and biggest part of the don
keys body, got BADLY mixed up In the
Ice trust scandal. And the worst was
yet to happen. Bryan and his hench-
men just got their voices screwed mp
to the proper pitch to tell the people
all about the Republican adminlstra-
TONS Ubiquitous policy toward the peo-
pie of our island possessions. against
the Consent Of the governed" when
the fool Democrats Of North Carolina
'queered" the fake issue by coming to
the front with an amendment to their
State constitution DISTINGUISHING 49,.

Democratic party 10 one section OF

selves into frenzy so they can shed
crocodile tears in affected sympathy
for certain principle, their brethren

thing to expose the fakirs. Thus the
Democratic orators and press In the
east have recently been busily engaged
in an attempt to convince voters that
the party has repudlated S16 to !. while
the brethren at the west were equally
busy trying to convince voters that Is

Very Peculiar.

A poor fellow down in Wyoming
committed suicide this week, named
Goodwin, and on the lapel of his coat
was pinned, "Women and wine did it."
It's very peculiar how some women
will hound a man around trying to
make him naughty and all that kind of
thing, and how she will become such
an insufferable nuisance to some men
that the only recourse they have is to
shuttle of" to where women cease
from troubling and the wine bottles
are at rest. 1t must be sort of Pc
culiar feeling to have gang of women
following one up continually striving
to lure you from the quiet paths of
virtue, and to have wine zigzagging
around one in great, reckless quaint
ties. 1t must be simply awful! We
have never had any such experiences,
and just In the interest of science we
should like to 60 it round or two,
just to see how it works. 1t was al
ways our luck to have to go after these
things when we wanted them.
