AN ADDRESS TO THE ALUMNI
Made by D. E. Emerson at the Meeting
Saturday Evening


the High School Alumni Associa-
tion made by D. f. Emerson at the
meeting Saturday evening"
YOUNG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE ALUMNI AND FRIENDS:
You will hardly expect a quit
uate" whose education Ito quote
from a preacher friend) was secur-
ed at Anvil College" to deliver a
finished address. but if from the
anvil of experience, can with the
hammar of time, strike out some
red hot sparks Of fact, perhaps
these few remarks shall not have
been in vain.
It would, perhaps, be more en-
tertaining if l endeavored to amuse
you for little while with words
that would quickly pass away. but
/ have chosen rather, to present
something that will, trust, "stick
to the ribs of imagination and be
found worthy of abiding.
And first | want to cali attention
to tendency of'the times, to what
Mr.. Cleveland calls "Flippant OPP
timism:' this may be seen in the
books, magazines and papers of the
day; the teaching of these articles,
if they teach anything, is that we
are to smile az all the conditions of
life that confront US; that serious
ness is to be discouraged; that
earnestness is not to be pursued
too closely; that we are to defy a
grin and execrate a tear.
The results of this teaching and
tendency have been in part the
breaking down Of the respect and
reverence that we have as a
nation held for our cherished in
stitutions, the Sabbath day, the
church, the home, the state and
the laws Of the land.
To this spirit may be attributed
the gradual creeping in Of the
foreign born custom of making
Sunday picnic day that the
church is all right for old men and
women; that the home life is un-
interesting and that ii is't a crime
to break law, but it is to be
caught; against this tendency
want to enter my protest; too much
stress is being laid upon those
things that amuse and pander TO
the innate tendency to dangerous
ease in our natures.
Laughter and JOY and happiness
should have place in our lives yet
it should not obscure the fact that
Life is real, life is earnest, and
it is to a consideration of the real
and earnest in life that | now invite
you.
That education is failure that
does not equip us for better sefvice
in the common affairs of lise-the
duties that lie at hand; the educa
ton of the past too often lead into
the realm of the ideal and away
from the real and practical, too
often, alas the results of such ed
ucation has been to awaken Mary
to the fact that Mother was old
fashioned and faded and Of John
that Father was unpublished and
stopped and gray; their educational
training put them out of harmony
with their surroundings.

 Man, physically, should be like a per fectly regulated machine, each part working easily in it's appropriate place. A slight Arrangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequent ly ruins the entire system.
 A well known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious cooperation which makes a joy of living:
 1.-Two years ago." she writes, "be'ng in a condition of nervous exhaustion, I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course. been a benefit, but the use of Grape Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and it's attendant evils.
 "I generally make my entire break fast on raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape Nuts, with little hot milk or hot water added. I like t extremely. my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endur- ance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result.
 Tt is with feelings of gratitude that I write this testimonial. and trust it may be the means of aiding others in their search for health" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

WILL PROSECUTE MOB.
Gov. Folk Has Directed Attorney General
TO Investigate Lynchlng OF
WitherspO0n.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 15.-Gov.
Folk has directed the attorney gen.
eral, Mr.. Hadley. to investigate the
lynching of the negro, Witherspoon,
in Belmont Friday, and to assist the
prosecuting attorney in prosecuting
those participating in the crime. The
governor has said:
mo matter how deserving the
death of the negro may have been,
nor how dastardly the crime, 1t was
murder for the mob to hang him. II
is just as much an offense in the eye
of the law for the mob to kill guilty
person as 1t would be to lynch an in
innocent one. We have government
by law, and not by mobs, and those
who take part in such lawlessness
do so at their peril. The attorney
general has been directed to investi-
gate the matter and assist the prose-
cutting attorney Of the county In
bringing justice to those participant
ing in this crime"
