DR.. QUAYLE TO NURSES.
Delivers an Interesting Address
at StOrmOnt Graduation.

The first public graduation OF nurses
at StormOnt hospital was held at the
high school auditorium last night, and
Miss Katherine l. Strayer, Miss Blanche
E. Miles, Miss Anna Henry, Miss Lola
NJ. Pankey and Mrs. Emma R. Ward,
having passed the examination, were
given diplomas and are now full fiedged
nurses.
The first floor of the auditorium was
comfortably filed, and the audience was
treated to an excellent musical pro-
gramme, TWO harp solos by Mrs. Sarah
T. Brown, trios by Miss Wood Miss
Miss Helen Hogeboom and piano duets
by Miss Bundy and Miss Willard ana
Miss Bundy and Miss Wellman.
Rev. DR. William A. Quayle of Kan
sas City, a speaker gifted with both hui
NOR and sound logic. delivered the adj
dress. He spoke highly of the nurses
profession and drew startling COMPARE
sons between the dark ages when a man
was not considered a man unless he was
cruel and the present age, when the
reverse idea is most popular. He refer
red to Fire and Sword" novel of the
dark ages when bloodshed was virtue
and care of the injured was unknown,
and ably compared it with today, when
even war in its worst form is attended
by the ever ready hospital and trained
nurse.
world of yesterday" he said, and then
on that of the world today. You will
find that the fever of cruelty is abating
Tomorrow win be better than today, and
the day after tomorrow viii be better
than tomorrow. There is a tendency of
the human race to abate, instead of in
fict pain"
One of DIR. Quayle's strong points in
speaking is his ability to bring on
severe attack of mirth, and he used it
last night. He threw bouquets at the
ladies and merry jests at the doctors
with the same movement
Women are natural nurses said he.
IF a man comes home at night and
looks like he had, would have, had. or
wanted to have the grip, what does his
wife do? Kills the fatted calf, of
course
Women are adapted to nursing be-
cause they have slight-very slight of
course. tendency to boss things. espe-
cially men. They like to tell him what
he can have, what he must do without
and when to take his medicine"
During his address DR.. Quayle took
shot at the race problem, but it brought
no response from the audience. and he
woman who refused to make the bed
of a man who was a million times
smarter than she was. She did not
know that it is good for US to hold
Elijah's garments.
In closing DR.. Quayle said: These
young women who are about to enter
into the career of professional nurses
should not be commiserated. They have
chosen the profession because it suits
them, and no one who loves his job
wants to be comniserated while al it."
Following the address Of DR.. Quayle,
DR.. /. Y Grubbs read short history
of the Jane c. StOrmont hospital it's
establishment, growth and good work.
He then presented the diplomas to the
five graduates.

HANNA QUITS.
On Request of the President
Withdraws Opposition
To Endorsement of Administers
tiOn by Ohio Convention.

Cleveland. May Ex-senator Hanna
has decided to offer no further opposi-
ton to the proposed resolution in the
coming Republican state convention en-
dorsing the candidacy of President
Roosevelt for another term When
asked if he had heard from President
Roosevelt with reference to the discus
sion concerning his attitude in connec-
ton with the resolution, Senator Hanna
made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
Il am in receipt of a telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to
me his desire to have the endorsement
of the Ohio Republican state conven-
ton of his administration and candi-
dacy. In view of this 1 shall not OPP
pose such action by the convention and
have telegraphed the president to that
effect
Senator Hanna positively declined to
further discuss the subject insisting
that the brief statement above quoted
fully covered the situation
1t is the general belief however,
among those close to the senator that
he still doubts the advisabilty of adop-
ton of a resolution endorsing President
Roosevelt's candidacy by this years
convention, but il is pointed out, in de-
ferring to the presidents judgment and
expressed wishes. Mr.. Hanna demon
strates that his original position in the
personal antagonism to President
Roosevelt.
Washington, May 27-When the dis
patch announcing that Senator Hanna
would not oppose an endorsement Of
President Roosevelt at the coming Ohio
state convention was shown to Seeator
Foraker he dictated the following state
ment:
/ am very much gratified to learn
that Senator Hanna has withdrawn his
opposition to the endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's candidacy in 1904; not
on any personal ground for 1 have not
al any time had any personal interest
in the matter but solely because think
endorsement good for Senator Hanna
and the party as well as for President
Roosevelt, who has well earned a sec
ond term by the splendid administra-
ton he has given us. The result viii
be a harmonious convention and an en-
thusiastic endorsement for Senator
Hanna for another term in the senate"
The senator added that the votes of
Ohio, added to the states that have de-
clared heretofore for President Roose-
Welt gave the president a majority of
the votes in next Republican conven-
tiOn.
