civilization from this point OF view
we are able to look back over the
centuries which have come and gone.
AS we look upon the marred pages
OF past ages, what marked progress
can be noticed. We have taken on
new forms Of life and thought: we
have seen and tasted the delicious
fruit of love, justice, virtue, and
peace. The folly OF war has been
revealed, nations have been seer to
rise and fall as a direct result of
vice, crime, injustice and war. The
glory of the present age is clvIliZa-
tion. 1t is broader and more far
reaching in its meaning than ever
before. 1t reaches out and embraces
all classes of people. 1t pleads for
the harmonious development of body,
mind and soul. 1t has taken the ma
ton centuries upon centuries to dis
cover what was essential to promote
the highest development of a COM
monwealth. The nation that would
keep advancing must set aside party
prejudices when moral issues are at
stake. She must ill her offices with
men who place the welfare Of the
nation above selfish interests. Her
courts Of justice and equity must be
properly administered. the laws en-
acted rust be these that will relieve
the suffering of humanity and win
the respect OF the people. The in
Vulnerable evils, practiced continual

tering the presidency of the United

was pathetic in bis anxiety to be

With the graduating exercises of
the senior class the commencement
exercises or Dakota University came
to a close Wednesday. The week
has been Il pleasant one in all re-
spects, the weather having been ideal
and the crowds have been large in
consequence. The various exercises
have been of high character through
out and they have been very much
enjoyed.
The last feature of commencement
week is the graduating exercises of
the senior college class and they are
attended with more dignity than is
perhaps accorded the other classes.
This year there were six members of
the class who are sent forth from the
institution and they finish with high
honors and with credit to the insti-
tuition. The members are Lauritz

platform. President Graham made a

The Pacific is sending across

board is from Wareham, Mass. where
the raising and shipping of seed have
become q considerable industry. 1t
does not cost much more to bring the

it does to ship the Wareham seed by
