Some of President Roosevelt's speeches, which
were delivered before he posed as the presidential
nominee, are now being used as campaign litera-
ture against him. They are good for Democratic
orators to quote from, and Teddy" can't very
well explain away some Of his reckless assertions
in former addresses.

Why do the Republicans need six million dollars

The reasons given for Frank James ''fip.flop'
to the Republican arena, are that the noted bandit
had been, until a year ago, in the employ of tho
Buffers as door keeper at the notorious Standard
theatre in St. Louis. Besides, he is sore because
the last Democratic Legislature turned him down
for the appointment of doorkeeper of the senate.

The Globe Democrat and other partisan sheets
of the opposition are csntering their entire fight
in the State upon Sam Il. Cook. Why? Because
they know that MIR. Cook is one of the strongest
men on the ticket and they are exerting every
effort to weaken his chances Of election. Next TO
Joseph w. Folk, Sara Cook has more friends over
the state than any other man in the Democratic
party. LIE is a spleadid official, and will be re-
elected as Secretary of State by a handsome ma
lority, irrespective of what the Globe Democrat or
any other opposition paper may say.

caused so much merrimcnt, Sam says, that he ad-

What was probably the larg-
est audience ever assembled in
Jacobson's opera house, was
gathered there last Saturday
evening, May 29th, to witness
the graduation OF the class OF
'O4 from the High school.
The hall was beautifully dec
GRATED in the class colors, olive
and white, and over the stage
was the class motto: Launched
but not Anchored done in
white letters on an olive back
ground. The stage, itself, was a
picture. Hung with festoons Of
the colors and decked with
palms, ferns and various other
beautiful plants, while in the
centre background stood a full
rugged ship, representing the
motto, and bearing sails OF olive
and white. The ushers for the
occasion bore wands decorated
in the same colors.
The chorus, composed OF girls
and boys from the school, were
grouped on the left side Of the
stage. On the right was the IA
Guilty and board of education,
while the graduates occupied
seats in the right foreground.
The curtain was raised at $50
with all in their places excepting
the graduates, and they were
conducted up the aisle and took
their seats by Superintendent
Wolfe.

ner. This oration was followed
by a ladies' double quartet
which rendered the selection
''Birds Of Spring. in a delightful
manner. The ladies are gifted
with beautiful voices, and this
number was received by the
audience with much applause.
Miss Lillian Grace delivered a
fine oration on "The Opportuni-
ties Of the Women Of Today"
Miss Grace made a decided hit
with the women Of the audience
by her plea for woman's rights.
Miss Grace Heath finished the

Her word pictures were well
drawn, and her SMILES were
beautiful, especially the compar-
ison OF the class to a feet OF
white-sailed ships speeding on
their way over treacherous seas.
The High school chorus now
rendered another selection, en-
titled, s'Forest Glee,'' after
which superintendent Wolfe ad-
dressed the class in a few we'll
chosen words. He urged them
to continue on their upward
way, finding a way or making
one to overcome every obstacle
in their pathway. He bid them
remember that there is always
room at the top. He then rec
commended the class to the presi-
dent Of the board of education,
Mr.. j. S. Murphy, for the honors
OF graduation. After a few
words MI. Murphy conferred
upon each one the diploma for
which each had worked so many
long years.
The High school orchestra
then played another selection,
after which Mr.. VanExie took
flash light photos Of stage and
audience.
The friends OF the graduates
then crowded upon the stage to
offer their congratulations and
well wishes for the future.
1t was a day the members OF
this class will never forget. One
they will always treasure as it
MARKS their launching but not
their anchoring.
