A large class graduated from the
High School last evening amid the
most inspiring enthusiasm; with con
gratulations OF admiring friends they
received their diplomas, while the or
ohestra played and orators talked. The
State had made II possible fer these
young men and women to receive that
thorough training which fits them for
the duties Of life, but It asks something
in return, and that something It has
the right to demand. 1t Is good citi-
zenship. The graduate from our pub
lie schools should Justify the system,
since from his conduct, men will pass
upon its usefulness. The young man
or woman who is educated at the pub
lie expense need feel no obligation Of
charity, but a decent life, an intelli-
gent interest in the general welfare,
and the purpose TO exalt good citizen

A SENTIMENTAL ALLIANCE


half hour with Albert Edward the othel
day, and came away from the inter
view with delightful impressions of the
kings friendlincss to the United States
There is no doubt but these senti'
ments are real. since the whole atti'
tude OF England in the last decade has
been one OF friendliness.
Numerous instances might be sighted
to show that the friendly alliance i.
real and based upon something more
than the whim OF passing moment
but the truest test was the action OF
the English government when we were
threatened with hostile combination
OF European Powers during the Span
ish war.
The purpose which inspires our
neighbor across the sea, is that which
should equally appeal to us. II is made
up Of eQnal parts Of sentiment and util-
ity. There is not the least
doubt that II America has a
kindred, England and her posses
sions constitute an elder sister. No
people are so near us in race, in tradi-
tions and aspiration. Shakespeare is
ours. Newton is ours, and England
would share with us the glory Of Wash
ington and Lincoln.
But the alliance is eminently practi-
cal, too. The Anglo-Saxon has been
aggressive and virile He has supplant-
ed Spain as colonizer; the banner OF
progress wherever 1t goes is carried by
an Englishman or an American. Who
ever speaks the English tongue is
recognized as a foreunner Of prog
ress, whether he sings America" or
God Save the King"
II is a remarkable fact that these
mutual sentiments OF goodwill are
strong among the masses, pc. haps they
had their origin there. We have not
forgotten how, in the harbor of Ma
Mia when our ships were coming out
Of action. the English tars lined the
rigging OF their boats and wildly cheer
ed Subsequently. when many of our
seamen were in Hong Kong, and there
was a disposition ON the part OF Ger
man sailors to treat them with scani
civility. the British jackies constituted
themselves a body guard OF protection
Only recently, when the American
troops moved out OF Pekin, the Eng
lish soldiers turned out en- masse 10 bid
them godspeed.
II is an alliance. though sentimental
yet spontaneous and real. The time
may come. n Il is not at hand wher
each may need the other There will
be difficulties like that over the Mica
ragua canal. which will require tenn
pcrate judgment and wise diplomacy
but the disposition manifest to submit
these questions to thearbitrament Of in
ternational tribunals. holds promise o
a permanent bond Of friendship, whicl
shall be a mutual blessing
