GRADUATES AT ANN ARBoR
President Angel Delivers Annual
BnccaIRureate Sermon
10 the Class.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. June 15.-President
James b. Angel of the University OF Mich
igan tonight delivered the annual bacca-
laureate sermon to the graduating class
in university hall. The hall was filled with
the graduates and their friends and the
undergraduates of the university.
President Angel said:
The new century is opening with an
unprecedented impulse to the higher edu-
cation. The world has been startled by
a series OF gifts of extraordinary magni-
tude in the old world and in the new for
the endowment OF universities the assist
ance Of promising students and the en-
couragement OF investigation and research,
Men have been very busy in devising vari-
Gus kinds of constitutional and legislative
machinery to secure wise legislation and
just and effective administration But no
improvements in organization. no con-
trivances, however ingenious, can insure
us pure democratic government unless
we have an enlightened public opinion and
a patriotic spirit guiding and sustaining
it in all its life.
1T is the true ideal Of the function OF
a state university that it should be placing
in every considerable community In the
commonwealth one or more OF its graduates
who should through their life and labors
carry to those communities and for the
general good something OF value that they
have gathered here. II is in this way that
the university reimburses the people Of the
state for the generous outlay that they
make for her support Go from here with
not the selfish spirit OF the miser gloatins
over what you have received from the
state as an acquisition to be used merely
for your own personal profit. but go,
rather with the grateful spirit of loyal
children of the state who will gladly
seize every opportunity to make full re-
turn to her for what she has done for you.
Go forth into life giving freely unto all
whatever intellectual light you have es-
pecially as you remember that giving OF
that kind enrlches, rather than impover-
ishes the giver himself.
at is to be hoped that in pushing out,
however far the boundaries of knowledge
we shall never lose sight of our relations
to the supreme intelligence. To trace His
footsteps. to understand the work of His
hand, to discover His methods in the Gre
alton and development of all things, is
the aim Of all sincere and honest seekers
after truth. When we find these we find
truth"

PARIS, June 15-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-- Maurice
Bernhard has applied to the state council
for permission to change his name to Maui
rice Glairin. This is in order, the peri-
tion sets forth, to conform to usage, which
requires that children should bear the name
Of the father, not the mother. This step
is said to have been taken at the insti
gation Of Nine. Maurice Rernhardt who is
about to become a mother and dislikes to
infiict the brand Of illegitimacy upon her
offspring.
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt bitterly opposes
this action. 1t is said. MIR. Glairin, whom
Maurice now selects as his father, was
the late painter whose infatuation for the
"devine" Sarah nearly caused a triple
tragedy twenty-five years ago. NJ. Glairin
and Nine. Sarah Bernhard made several
exciting balloon ascensions together.

San Francisco Forest and Water
 S0rietN

This society advocates the construc- ton of irrigation systems hy the State of California. The only part of this state where the public funds could be effectively used for this purpose are north of the Tehachapi
 ii is strictly san Francisco move. with the large land holders intclli. gently behind it This is all right for them and probably would inure Co the benefit of that section generally as we'll as Co the private holders of arid or semiarid lands.
 Southern California. however Is in a very different position. Private cn. terprise has developed and utilized all of the large irrigation possibilities of the mountains and expects to con tinue the same work in developing springs and artesian belts. State taxes raised to build irrigation works would be collected tn Southern California. These taxes would be upon irrigation works and assessed values created by irrigation The taxes thus raised would all go to and be spent In Northern California.
 Northern California should be i'm proved. but not at our expense. Nor should enterprises there receive pub ltc aid where similar enterprises here have received none. This Is especially the case where the moss pack owners of vast land holdings would tax the enterprisfug South. State Division Is the remedy.-Saturday Post.

Valuable Water found.

If the following information from the San Diego Sun Is correct. some one has found a fortune in water:
 The information from the Suns ChuIa Vista correspondent to the ef- feet that the irrigation committee ap. pointed four weeks ago found a sur prising amount of water above ground. including one stream carrying HOO inches. none of which reached the Sweetwater reservoir. is a surprising bit of information. lt occurs 20 the Sun 10 agree with the Chula Vista correspondent that the Lanu and Town Company would do well to spend q little money in developing those streams and carrying fheT7 by Hume or otherwise into the reservoir instead of allowing them 10 sink away into the sands and be lost entirely.
 The Land and Town Company has spent a vast amount of money during the past five years in pumping water from the Swestwater River below the dam and undoubtedly this action has aided in large measure in saving the orchards through the prolonged years Of drought. But it is a fact. neYerthe- less. that the water pumped from be low the reservoir Is of poor quality being more or less impregnated with salt. and that its further use at this time is Go be condemned fl possible.
 Therefore. it would seem the part Of good business sense for the Land and Town Company to cooperate with the ranchers of that region in a move ment 10 bring every drop Of mountain water possible onto their lands"
