Orator of the Occasion.

Rev. A. C. Hogbin was introduced
by DR.. Tisdel as the orator of the oc-
casion and the theme chosen by the
talented divine for the baccalaureate
address was Witnesses of Light"
Rev. Hogbin's text was John 1867:
There was a man sent from God.
The same came for a witness, to bear
witness for the Light, that all men
through Him migth believe" AS will
be observed, the speaker, for the pur.
pose of direct reference to the hour
and time, omitted the clause which
stated that the man originally written
of was named John. God made the
light and those going out from educa-
tional institutions bear witness of the
light they have received, their mission
being to those who nave not enjoyed
equal opportunities. A man is sent
from God when he has formed the
habit of thinking the thoughts of the
Deity, and the person sent must have
the same purpose God has. Men and
women thus sent bear witness to facts
and facts may be called truth, but
truth is larger than fact.
Facts and Their Interpretation.
The training of a higher educational
institution enables its students to dis
criminate between facts and to inter-
pref them. Workers SEN from God are
to bear witness to light instead of to
darkness. The world o not call for
men to witness to its darkness, but
rather to extol its light and to magnify
its joys instead of its woes. An edu-
simist. He is called to search for the
good things and the best things in hui
man nature. To witness for the light
means optimism and the making the
best of everything. Those who e
light the most clearly can describe it
most vividly. The work of the uni
~versity is to interpret facts and the
purpose of the universe. Hugh Miller
delving in the rocks, Newton wrestling
from nature her secrets, Gallileo read
ing the stars-these and others are the
l~ight-bearers of the past. A person can
witness to the light only when ne car
ries it in his W mind and heart. No
plagiarism is possible and n can only
carry the light he has, and in proper
ton to his willingness to immediate
himself upon the altar of service.
Easy Places Are Missing.
There are no soft snaps" in witness
bearing, or, indeed, in the world. He
who bears witness to light, bears wit
ness to man, for man, and he alone, is
lint. A true scholar once said, Moth
ing that is of interest to man is alien
to me-" The thing to be loved most
in man is his higher nature. He is the
reflected image of the God who made
him. Love Him who is the master
exponent of light most of all. Thu:

While the mission of the union label

zens, it Is to be regretted that It. is
not universally patronized. IT,
Labor leaders, thinking men and
women. observing this negligence,
studied the situation and made this
suggestion: Turn on the current Of
the purchasing power. To win we
must enlist the buyers
But who have the largest per cent
of this power In hand? Those who
buy the children's clothes, the family
groceries and other supplies. Who
else, then, but the wives, 5daughters
and sisters of'1abor' union men should
lead in establishing this Teform7: IF
they lead In downright earnest other
women philanthroptcally disposed: will
follow their example: But how can
this be done? is the question: ~e:~..
Through organized effort: is the
most definite answer. Nothing can
withstand the power of fraternal 90:
operation toward a common object
BY joining or cooperating with the
Woman's Union Label league women
will learn what the current of pur.
chasing power means to their hus
bands, their children and themselves.
This is one OF many phases in our
industrial system where men and wo
men are equally concerned, and by
unison of purpose, by concert of &C,
tion' held together by fraternal obi.
cation, they can win.
THUS the Woman's Union Label
league is the child of necessity
pledged from it's birth to assist the
cause of right and Justice. Asking
for union made goods is certainly a
dignified and effective way for any
class of women who are the friends
Of the labor movement of reproving
mans inhumanity to man. There Is
no need to sermonize in any unusual
way, but simply to ask for and pur
chase none other than goods bearing
the workers. guarantee that the right
to sanitary condition and living wages
were respected In the making. Ask

that the goods be delivered by union
teamsters. All these requests should
be made in such a way as will i'm

MUNICIPAL INSURANCE.

The plan of Mayor John P. Studley,
of New Haven. Conn, to have the
municipality attend to the fire insurr
ance business is we'll worthy Of con.
sideration. The Studley plan was
first broached at meeting Of the
mayors OF the state of Connecticut,
and many of these gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as favoring care
full investigation Of lne proposition
In the city Of New Haven it is esti
mated that the premiums paid an.
nually for fire insurance amount to
$500,O00, while the losses are only
about $l25,O0O, tue difference, p375,
900, being profit to the insurance
companies.
The great catastrophe in San Fran
cisco has furnished mayor Studley
with material from which he can Ger.
tainly strengthen his arguments. Fo,
instance, IL the tire insurance com
panies can recuperate their losses, by
raising the rates for policyholders, II
Is certain that there is money In the
business; and II the city can run the
business at a minimum cost, so as tc
give insurance at a reasonable figure
it Is time for the people to get in anC
save themselves money.
One risk would certainly be done
away with-the repudiation OF insur
ance and the withdrawn from the cit,
and state OF the sneak thief company
In case Of catastrophe the city cannot
get away, and its obligations woulc
always be made good.
