ed in regard to the matter and did
not intentionally misrepresent the
gentlemen.
But The Journal notices that
certain parties, especially here in
Newark, are so much worked up
over the matter that they cannot
speak of these gentlemen without
being more or less vindictive and
abusive. We believe, however,
that the petitioners went into the
undertaking with an honest motive
to benefit the community, and we
are assured By these gentlemen
that they are as strongly in favor
of the ditch today as they were
when the matter was first taken
up. 1t is true that much land has
been included within the boundar-
les of the proposed district that
would receive no corresponding
benenefits for the amount of taxes
that has been placed upon it, but
the petitioners and bondsmen are
not responsible for this, nor for
the amount of taxes assessed.
They have no desire, as some seem
to think, to unjustly burden the
people with taxation. Some peo-
pie seem to think these men have
sprouted horns and formed part
nership with some constituencies
demon for the purpose of robbing
the taxpayers. But The Journal
does not think so. We believe
they are as much interested in the
welfare of the people of the com
munity as any other man or set
men. That mistakes have been
made we readily admit; but this is
big undertaking and the human
family is full of mistakes, and
they crop out daily and hourly in
much smaller matters than this.
The thing to do is to correct the
mistakes and press onward; and
this, we are assured, is what the
petitioners expect to do.
No man desires to see his neigh
Dor unjustly burdened with tax
alton and The Journal has enough
confidence in the integrity of the
county court to believe that that
tribunal would not approve any
action that sought to tax people
without first modifying and equit-
ably adjusting the rate of taxation.
These drainage districts are
coming. The county needs them
it must have them-and will get
them, sooner or later. There will
be opposition to them, of course.
There is always opposition to any
progressive movement. When
The Journal began agitating the
construction of sidewalks in New
ark four or five years ago, there
was opposition, even to so small
matter as that, and some people
who had been wading the mud for
years and years, actually talked as
if they thought we were going
crazy-thought it was absurd to
talk about as small town as New
ark trying to build sidewalks-it
would cost too much, the town
couldn t afford it! The same ar
gument was put forth against
draining the old pond near the de-
pot-it will cost too much, we
can't afford it! And that is the
greatest trouble with Newark to-
day. The people go around with
a death grip on their purse strings,
afraid a penny will get away. It's
the man who peers into the future
and contributes his money and en-
ergy in assisting to carry out pro-

WASHINGTON, juno 14.-President
Roosevelt to-day attended tho eighty
ninth annual commencement of George

prizes awarded. and delivered brief
address to the graduates.

Roosevelt and alluded to him in terms
of cordially, saying that, in attending

he was following an example set by

The honorary college prizes were pre-.
sented to the recipients by the Presi-
dent, who pinned the medals on the
breasts OF the young men, and handed
to them tho other prizes awarded them.
War on Vice and Corruption
President, Roosevelt sadnonisheds the
members of the graduating class that,
while their intelligence and intellectual
attachments would be a great factor In
the success of their lives, they could
hope to accomplish little of permanent
value without the highest attributes OF
character. He suggested that their indi-S
vidual triumphs were we'll enough. but,
unless they We're triumphs of real value
to the State and nation, they could not
be accounted as great. He said that, on
account of their superior advantages, the
graduates owed a peculiar obligation to
their country.tand the people had a right
to expect them to be OF value and SER
vice to the country "
The President urged the young men to
wage relentless war on vice and cor
ruptlon and dishonesty In every walk of
life irrespective Of the social condtlo,
Of the dishonest man. but he cautioned
them not at any time to endeavor to
array classes against one another.

sports In college life, and said the true
athletic training and spirit might be
carried by each man into his after life.
This spirit, he said might be sum
