Commencement Day.
T hursday's Daily.

Thursdays Daily.
Today is the most important Of
the year in University circles and il
is the most important event in the
lives of sixty four young people who
have received diplomas of gradua
ton.
Their going out into the world to
make their own living is an lmpor-
tant step. They deeply feel the re
sponsibility. The world does moi
care 80 much about them being busy
with its own affairs.
But there is always rlace for 9
man who can do something and dc
it we'll. The young man who is
placed face to face with the realities
of business life may lie dismayed al
first. He should take courage and
remember that the dependence Of
the country is on the young men.
They should make it their aim tt
always be straightforward and ear
nest, doing every thing we'll, slight
ing nothing. A reputation of this
character out weighs the influence Of
a fortune or position and will bring
success to the one who possesses it
Much has been learned which
will never be called into practice
The greatest advantage to be derived
from college course is the training
incident to it and the knowledge oil
men which has been gained by those
who have spent their time IN the
halls of learning.
The University has sent out zoe
graduates. They have invaded
every nook and corner of the earth
and they are all doing well Tor
themselves and for their country
The class Of 1908 has their example
before them to remind them that
they too have duties and response
bilities but that there is place for
them and a reward which is sure il
they do their part in the general
scheme Of progress.
We wish them God-speed and ac-
cord to them our best wishes and
blessings.

vOLMUE XXXvII


The news OF the death of Judg,
johnson was received here late Tues
daylafternoon. While it had not beer
unexpected in view of the discourag
ing reports which had come from
New York concerning his illness, II
was received with universal sadness
by the people of the state.
For several years the venerable
Judge has been Dean of the Law
School at the University ana had
given high character to that de-
partment besides endearing himself
to the faculty and student body.
His work had been done in the
face Of physical pain which racked
his frame but at all times he was
affable and courageous. He remain
ed at his post until the very last
Recently he had determined to go to
New York and get the very best
treatment to be had. In consequence
Of this the work Of the department
was hurried to close and he de-
parted for that purpose.
His case had already progressed
to, far however in and spite of every
thing that the most highly trained
specialists of the country could do
he passed away.
Judge johnson has been promi-
nent in the state for many years.
He comes of one of the pioneer fam
lilies of the state, whose members
have maintained very high stand
ing in every avenue of activity.
Several years were spent by him
on the bench of the Court of APP
peals and many Of his decisions have
become classics in the legal annals
of the nation.
Besides being highly successful
jurist he made an equally brilliant
record as teacher in the law depart
mept and for several years had pre-
sided at the head Of this depart
ment.
Personally he was a man of ten
der heart and lovable disposition.
His death is heavy blow to thou
sands Of people who loved him for
his genial qualities and kindly soul. |
They sincerely mourn his taking
off and join with the New DOMINION
in extending their sincerest sym
pathy to those who are bereaved.

Tuesday, June Is, 1908 the first cleo

There was lots of rubbering along

Cars have been running on schedule

LIBRARY DEDICATED.
Handsome University Building
Formally Opened.

Keys Presented to Librarian by Presi.
dent COwden-Addresse by State
Librarian Dewey of New York-Dr.
Purinton Presided others who took
Part.
DIR. Melvil Dewey, director of
the New York State Library made
the principal address at the dedica-
tion of the new University library,
Wednesday.
DR.. Purinton presided at the exer-
ciser. DR.. Reynolds made the nivo-
cation.
A historical sketch of the Library
was presented by Prof. w. S. Green.
His address was condensed and full
of interest. He referred to the in
augural address of President Martin
June 9th, 1867, in which he said
there were books and other property
to the value of $500 left to the Uni.
versity from Woodburn Seminary.
Later it was recommended that the
librarian he paid salary of $50 pei
year. In 1888 DIR. Turner empha-
sized the need of better library.
President w. j. W. Cowden pre-
sented the keys to the librarian Miss
Pauline Wiggin. His speech was
brief and especially well expressed.
Miss Virgins responded, accepting
her charge in beautiful message to
the audience.
Mr.. Dewey is the leader in library
science In this country, and his adj
dress showed him to be the student
and scholar that becomes the leader In
his chosen work. He said that future
historians will refer to this as the H.
brary age. That 404 private gifts ag-
gregaJing $40, 900, 900 have been devot-
ed to library endowment In the Unit.
ed States He traced the growth Of
the library's influence, summing uI
the goal 10 this development In eight
words, which he requested the audi.
ence to remember, "Higher educa-
tion at home for adults through life.
The library building was tastefully
decorated with mountain laurel, ferns
and potted plants.
Three musical selections, q voca
solo by Mrs. Gordon, and violin Sc
lection and an encore by Mr.. Antor
Kaspar, added much to the pleasure O
the dedication ceremonies.

Danger in Decayed Fruit.
the Chicago Record-Herald.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The work Of protecting Chicago from
sales of decayed, adulterated or otherwise
Injurious articles of food Is enough to keep
the inspectors Of the city health depart
ment continually on the alert. One branch
of 1t seems to have been overlooked of late,
and that is the watch for spoiled fruit, es-
pecially such as is exposed for sale on the
street fruit stands. 1t is hard to draw the
line between fruit that is safe to eat and
fruit that is decayed till it Is beyond the
danger line That much that Is sold men,
aces the health of the purchasers is, how
ever beyond question. Indeed, 1t Is
common thing for rotting stun to be sent
from stand to stand, seeking ever a poorer
grade of customers, until finally 1t Is dis
posed Of The health department should
start a vigorous Campaign against this evil
at once 1t is not enough to condemn an
occasional lot of stuff that is on sale in
the slums, nor Is 1t enough to confine ac-
tiyity to the wholesale market in South
Water street. The fruit should be watched
at other stages of it's progress as well.
Many of the fruit stands on the sidewalks
in the downtown district are little short of
public nuisances. They expose bad goods
to a deluge of dirt for hours. and even for
days-and the worst of 1t Is they find
steady streams of customers, attracted by
the few cents saving they offer. The city is
trying to get rid of these stands, and prob
ably will succeed when 1t can secure the
setting aside of the temporary injunctions
by which the vendors have protected them
selves In the meantime there is no reason
why the health ordinances should not be
vigorously enforced. The injunctions do not
authorize the sale of rotten fruit.
