| appreciation OF the best places in which
to get-the man who sits near the money
| bags"
| The United States treasurer got back at
| Mr.. Taft for his remarks about old age,
by referring to him as the drum major
who beats time even if he doesn't make
| music" His speech was filed with humor-
| Gus and Witty illusions and was punctuated
with applause. Il
Commissioner Allen was called another
| Yale man who knows good thing when
for the COMPLIMENT paid him. and continued
| by pointing OUT that the best thing col
! lege or university can teach is how to have
! good times.
"Gets Backy for Princeton's Sake.
| After several comic songs had been sung
by George o. O'Connor. Henry E. Davis
| was introduced as Princeton graduate.
| So much had been said about Yale that
| Mr.. Davis took it upon himself to get
| back for Princeton's sake. Referring to a
| remark dropped earlier by Yale man,
| that Mr.. Taft had been made the first gov
| ernor of the Philippines because he was a
| Yale man, Mr.. Davis held that such was
| most certainly the case, and the reason was
| that it was thought best to introduce the
| civilization of this country in the Islands
as gradually as possible.
| Mr.. Davis also thought that the Secre-
| tary of War had at last made known his
| position on the canteen question by picking
up an empty mineral water bottle with
which to call the club to order for the
! speeches.
After mentioning Mr.. Taft as coming
| President of the United States, as already
referred to, MIR. Davis concluded with
reference to President Roosevelt and En-
peror William as men who talk university
| sense.
The Concluding Speeches.
| The new commissioner of labor, DIR. Neili,
spoke of the chief function of the university
being the developing of character and
not to give knowledge. And character
building, he said, lay not in the hands of
the faculty, but with the student body.
| Isaac r. HIT who was to have made an
| address. was detained on account OF Illness
| But he sent a paper, which Mr.. raft read
| Mr.. Hit thanked the club for the invita-
| ton to be present and congratulated the
| members on their success.
| This brought the regular exercises of the
evening to a close. But before the jolly
party broke up vote of thanks was given
| George o. Totten, chairman of the banquet
| committee. and Mr.. Totten thanked the
| members on behalf of the committee and
| himself. He also said he hoped the banquet
would become an annual function with the
| club.
| Secretary Taft declared the evenings fes-
| tivities over with This legislature STANDS
