GRADUATION.

Tonight the high school graduating
class passes one of the brightest, most
buoyant epochs in their lives, and
from unrealities of the school age pass
into the more stern and real age of
actually.
Heaven keep the dreams fresh and
ever green in their minds and men,
ories. and perpetuate the ideals now
forming the goal of every throbbing
heart and fluttering pulse.
Life is a commonplace affair after
all, but If we can live above its un-
pleasant fogs and mists, high up on
the mountain peaks, sunkissed and
glorious, it thus environs a common
place affair with the most sublime
aspects and if we can always live in
this higher altitude, always clothe the
workaday world in images, life Will
lose much of it's harshness.
Heaven keep alive the hunger for
knowledge. Graduation is only the
beginning. 1t is the stepping stone
to the first step in life. Let US not
multiply the temptations surrounding
them. Let us increase the images
and the sunshine, for the rough rocks
will soon enough show their teeth
above the placid waters and the dark
shadows will all too soon steal across
the pathway.

There's always happiness somewhere,

SILHOUETTE BILL'S BIG FIND.
It's . Postage stamp Gum That Defles
Humid and Hot Weather.

William F. Wood, commonly known as
Silhouette Bill" is dreaming Of auto
mobiles and country residences and copper
stocks these days.
Mr. Wood ia the young man who cuts your
profile out Of black paper while You wait
and hands it over TO you stuck like postage
stamp on a neat card, two for a quarter.
He practised in the Waldorf Astoria all
last winter and is now filling summer
engagement at Luna Park. He has cut
his way around the world three times with
his scissors. The next time he expects to
cut his way with a private steam yacht.
For Bill has invented an invention.
Ever since he has been cutting silhouettes
Bill has been bothered by the way the gum
on his black paper got sticky in the hot,
moist weather Of the seashore The sheets
would cling together in spite Of all he could
do, and the paper would curl, making his
cutting uncertain.
find satisfactory gum. This summer he
had an unusual lot Of trouble, and he went
at it harder than over.
One night about three weeks ago, as he
was going to bed, Silhouette Bill had an
idea. just as he was, in his nightshirt +,
he Jumped out Of bed and worked all night
BY morning he had managed to mix a
gum which, he proved to his own satisiac-
ton, would neither stick in humid weather
nor cause the paper to curl.
A few days later he mentioned his dis
covery to the local manager of the firm
from which he buys his paper, This happens
to be the biggest label concern in the coun-
try. The manager got interested and asked
for samples. And last week one of the
heads of the firm came up from Washington
to talk the discovery over. 1t is understood
that the house has its eye on Government
postage stamp contract. A gum which
will not get sticky in hot weather is thing
which the Government has ardently desired
ever since postage stamps came into use.
The experts of the firm are making further
experiments with Mr. Woods new gum.

DEBS FLEES UNIONISMp
He Pays Little Attention to the Industrial
Workers, Who Would Save the World.

CHICAGO, July s.-That Eugene V. Debs,
who has been regarded as the head and
front of the industrial unionist movement,
practically has withdrawn from the Indus
trial Workers Of the World, the new inter
national labor union whic h was launched
yesterday by the convention at Brands
Hall, became the general understanding
when he was not present to be installed as
a member.
This practically knocks the new organi-
zation in the head at its inception, because
only minor lights are left in control OF tine
movement, which is organized for the Dr--
pose of saving the world in general.
Debs, who was looked upon as the oracle
and inspiration Of the convention has not
been present at a session since last week,
when he made speech denouncing Com
pers and Shea as miseaders of the working
class and declared that pure and simple
unionism had outgrown it's usefulness: He
is said to have become disguised with the
radical faction which gained control OF the
convention, and TO have gone to North
Dakota to make Socialist speeches to the
farmers.

C.. F. L. TALKS IMMIGRATION.
One Delegate Declares That the Talk Of
Restriction Is Due TO Selflshncss.


J. W. Sullivan editor of the Official organ
Of the United Garment Workers, who spoke
before the New York Civic Federation some
weeks ago in advocacy of restriction of i'm
migration, got the floor at yesterday 5
meeting of the Central Federated Union to
speak on the subject Sullivan said that
the assertions that the great bulk OF the
people now coming to this country were
desirable were misleading He believed in
either some kind of an exclusion policy or
practical restriction of immigrants.
Il say he continued. that the labor
unions ought to have the principal voice
in the matter. Last year 5000 tailors ar
rived here from Europe, They will be
competing with the union mon here. Twenty
years ago we did not have the combinations
of employers that we have now and labor
should have the most voice in saying what
immigrants should come here

nlent Workers, after Sullivan had finished.
wanted set of resolutions read in reference
TO the subject. This was strenuously op..
posed by several delegates on the ground
that it was too hot, and motion was made
to table them for the present. James DAILY
OF the Dock Workers Union supported this
proposition.
= 4 think it would be unfair to inAict any
further punishment on this body at the
present." he said
When the motion to table the resolutions
was put to the meeting james P, Archibald
of the Paper Hangers Union, who is secre
tary of the New York Civic Federation,
protested.
1T is not fair to withdraw these resolu-
tons. he said. No matter what they are
/ think statements have been made here
which it is in the interests Of the labor unions
to discuss. We have no right to take a
narrow view of the question of immigration.
The policy is an absolutely selfish one and
statistics show that it is a false one. Why
should people who come here and reap the
benefits of the freedom and opportunity of
this country seek to deny it to Others"
The chairman would not allow Archibald
to proceed. Archibald got round of APP
plause. all the same. 1t was then decided
to ia BILE the resolutions until some future

committed 70 the Tombs Yesterday in
default Of $4,000 bail. There is at present
no formal charge against Dr. Morgan, but
he ia held for further examination,
Dr. Morgan told Coroner Scholer that
he had sigroi the death certificate Of the
girl and assigned the, cause of death with
out even having seen the patient. DR..
Morgan said that Or. Kinney had assured
him that the case was perfectly regular,
but had said that the Board OF Health was
after him and that no matter what cause
of death was given an investigation would
follow IL his name appeared on certificate
of death. DR.. Morgan said that ne signed
the PAPER as a favor to his friend and stated
that he believed such favors to be rather
common among physicians.
In the midst of DR.. Morgan's talk the
Coroner suggested that he had better OBJ
tain the advice of a lawyer before COM
hitting himself.
Il am telling the truth replied the doc
tor, -and can't see how a lawyer can help
any. I admit my fault and am ready to
take the consequences.
The signing Of false certificate OF death
is punishable by fine Of $4,000, a year In

may incur heavier penalty, but on that
score Morgan's defense Is that he knew

was employed at the hospital up to Jan.

the name Of Kinney had ever been en-
ployed there in any capacity.
