AT the recent Democratic primary
held in ST. Louis, the cold machine
improved upon its former methods of
allowing the people the privilege of
voting. The people of Missouri have
long ceased to have any voice in the
selection of the "gratters' that make
the shameful pretense of covering
them. This last rape Of the ballot is
even more outrageous than the 9th
ers have been shameful. Evidently
those unpublished convicts over there
are trying to keep up with the gang
that is wallowing in graft at Frank
fort

AUDITOR Hager should be COM
mended in his act of repudiating the
suits filed by one of the so-called
Auditors agents against several hun
bred financial institutions of the
State. There has been prevalence
of these suits since the passage of the
law authorizing such officers as Aud
itor's agents, and they are very often
attempts to gouge the people, under
the forms of law, and some of these
fellows, without the consent or au-
thority of the Auditor, whom they
are supposed to represent, are willing
to "hold up" any individual or insti
tuition for the measly commission be

When Governor Black Of New
York, made his speech nominating
Theodore Roosevelt to succeed
himself as President, the dele
gates in the Republican conven-
ton proved there is no absence OF
enthusiasm in their ranks when
occasion justifies exhibition OF
that quality. For twenty-five
minutes the great throng told its
appreciation of the convention s
choice for President. The name
of Roosevelt came from every
throat. The New York delegates
paraded the hall, shouting at the
tops of their voices. Other delega-
tons joined the procession and
the well ordered body of half an
hour before was a shifting mass
every semblance of organization
gone.
At the conclusion of every Sec
onding speech the performance
was repeated, and the speakers
themselves were generously ap-
plauded.

HAIL TO THE
GRADUATE

The commencement season is at
it's height. The first of July will
see no less than 10000 young men
and women ready to enter the lists
of the world, armed with their
baccalaureate sheepskins. 1t has
been the fashion to poke fun at
the lofty ideals that these young
people set for themselves, but,
fortunately, they are too much
in earnest this year to give a Sec
.ond thought to the testing.
The graduate is nothing if not
enthusiastic. For at least dozen
years he has been tied down to
the routine of the school room,
and so enmeshed has he been in
theory that practice has had but
little place in his affairs. He has
been dealing with great and diff
cult matters in the abstract, and
what is more natural than that he
should contemplate with citation
the opportunity to make use OF
the wealth he has been storing
up? 1t is not his to know how
wide is the gulf that must he
bridged between his dreams and
the realities, for he is only at the
commencement Of life and has yet
to enter the lowest form in the
school of experience.
This is the period to which ar
mics of students all over the coun-
try have been looking eagerly
forward to for the past four years
who, under the guidance of in
structors and in the intellectual
atmosphere of their alma matters
they have been holding into use
full proportions the talents with
which they were endowed. With
in the next few days the college
portals throughout the country
will open and the thousands OF
recruits to the realms of business
and industrial affairs will walk
forth, triumphant in their con-
quest for knowledge. Whether
their drinking at the Pierian foun-
tain will accrue to the good of the
individual of the community at
large, depends altogether how
deeply the draughts have been
taken. 8.
Commencement is properly the
term to be applied for the close
of the college year, when the grad
uate stalks forth to encounter the
world. 1t is a commencement,
because all that has gone before
has only been preparatory. But
now he is face to face with grim
realities. Equipped with what
he has gained in intellectual pow
ers, he is to make the most OF
what is before him. The cry that
college men are over-educated is
all wrong. There may be an over

Chicago, June 24.-The swift,
sure current of public opinion for
the second time in the history of
Republican conventions resulted
in the selection Of a National tick
ct without a dissenting vote. The
odore Roosevelt for President and
Charles w. Fairbanks for Vice
President, received every vote in
the convention.
Regardless of the fact that the
nomination of one had been as
sured for months, and the other
for days, the announcement OF
the choice was accompanied by a
resounding demonstration which
attested the candidates universal
popularity. The cheering was led
by figures known through the
breadth of the land and echoed by
a mighty throng of enthusiastic
men and women assembled in the
Coliseum to witness the GROWING
feature as well as the close of the
National convention that marks
the semi-centennial of the Repub
lican party in the United States.
No less than ten thousand mer
and women participated in the
ratification of the party program
and the consequent roar of cheer
ing and hand-clapping was deaf
ening. The band stationed higf
among the girders of the hall wa:
