 AS we were seated at our desk writing copy last Saturday, our friend L. A. P. Beard entered our office with a most beautiful collection of flowers. He said, This is gift my wife gathered for you as an expression of our appreciation of your effort aganst that Four Wire Fence Law" We thanked MT. Beard heartily and assured him that we would al ways be found standing up for the honest throbbing hearts of the masses. When we look upon that collection of flowers and think of the beauty, purity and fragrance therein contained, we are reminded of the totalabsence of guile, hypocrisy and deceit. These flowers come fresh from the hand of God. If mankind could lay aside it's cloak of insin. cerity and he free Americans worthy of the heritage left them by the heroes of the Revolutions, we would see liberty smile and freedom raise her veil. A Bill has been passed to leave the Fence Law to vote of the people upon a petition. If this is a fair election, there is no doubt as to it's results. If it comes to a vote, look out fora Law and a Gospel" suitable for a winning. We have Already heard it hinted that no man can vote without his poll tax receipt with him. 1 heard of some landlords, who already have 100or more poll-tax receipts in their possession. If they make such a rule and have the poll tax receipts, 1t is a certain win ner. We are interested in fair ness. We advise every citizen to get his poll-tax receipt no matter where it is and have it ready. The election will no doubt be held the very busiest time. Don t let grass detain you from your plain duty. You owe it to your self and your posterity to assert your democratic prerogatives. Watch and be ready.

We commend our friend to the tender care of the good people of Michigan. We congratulate our friend in his successful gradua- tion with such notable honors. He is worthy the love of any lady and we feel sure that the future will be a book every page of which will have success upon it.

after weeks illness.
/ The junior hop committee has Sc
tcured the tower for June 3 to hold
the regular junior hop and reception
to the graduating class. The juniors
plan to make this years reception
the most successful one ever held.
a meeting of the track coaches and
principals of high schools was held
at Galesburg Saturday. The meeting
was called to form an association to
take the place of the Military Track
association. The Military Track asso-
citation, so called from the govern
ment name of this district of Illinois,
has comprised 10 schools, and has
held annual meets at ElmwOod. This
year some of the larger schools fore
ed the adoption of rule that after
man had won a first place in any
event he was to be barred from com
petition in that event thereafter. AS
Il result of this ruling four of the
schools Withdrew, and with two 9th
ers have formed a newFleague. The
schools that are now-in the league
are Galesburg, Rock Island, Moline,
Aledo, Elmwood and Princeton. Ke
vance and Canton have been invited
to join the league. The association
will allow Knox college to have di-
rection of the meet, the schools hold
ing membership dividing the pro-
ceeds. Heretofore Knox has held an
invitation meet, but as the schools
sent but small teams, and the meet
was given largely to advertise the
college, this has been rather unsatis-
factory. With the new method each
school will send large excursion in
addition to the athletic team, as the
railroads have granted fiat rate of
one fare for the round trip.
I One important feature of the meets
will be the oratOrical and declama-
tory contests. each school being re-
quired to have at least one represen-
tation competing or forfeit their
membership in the association. The
Officers of the association are:
