COMMENCEMENT

During the next fortnight thou
sands Of young men and women will
be graduated from our institutions OF
learning, equipped, as they feel, for
some great mission, even as did that
young man. Moses, $500 years ago,
when he undertook the emancipation
of Israel by killing the first Egyptian
he observed abusing his kinsman.
Moses, We believe, was banished for
40 years in the wilderness, complet-
ing his education by tending sheep,
before he was allowed to renew his
great work Of deliverance. Moses
was a man of destiny, all right, but
his period Of probation did not lie
in the great cities of Egypt with their
Libraries and schools, and society and
pleasures. It is difficult for the finite
mind, perhaps, to grasp the relation
between herding sheep and writing
the foundation Of the civil law for all
ages; but Moses learned some things
in the desert of Sinai they did not
teach in the High school at Thebes.
All, well! We all have had our
dreams. We still dream. Pity the
darkened soul that has no star burn
ing for It in the sky of hope. But we
let that star guide US now. We got a
hard fall once trying to guide the
star.
It's a nerve-racking business, this
finding out just WHAT great mission
in life we are called to perform; and
the task is made no easier by the
sort of copy we have set before us in
the school samples" of great
ness. as 1t were, stingy strips torn of
the lives of famous men, for all the
world like the samples of silk in the
bolt sent home for mothers selection
Anecdotal biographies of George
Washington. Oliver Goldsmith, Edgar
Allen Poe, William Shakespeare, ct al.
are excellent reading for a winters
night, but they are extraordinarily
dlscouraging just at one crucial
period in life. Somehow in our youth
we acquired the habit Of studying
genius from a psychopathic point Of
view. II seemed to us like some rare
disease with well defined symptoms.
and we caught ourselves INDUCING a
propensity for introspection. vainly
watching for the development of
some telltale idiosyncrasy that would
indicate beyond doubt the bent of our
genius.
Newton, we learned, discovered
the law Of gravitation by watching
an apple fall. The steam engine was
evolved from the principle Of the tea
kettle. Great things befell by chance.
Great men were lucky. We had seen
worthless tramps engaged in an occu-
patton not apparently different from
Newton's when he established his
gasat scientific law; but the tramps
accomplished nothing noteworthy.
We had ourselves emulated Newton's
example TO no purpose. We believe
at that time we were smoking a pipe,
having acquired the practise in an
effort TO cultivate the artistic tenn
permanent. AT another period, moved
by the divine passion to pour forth
our soul in meter. and hoping thus to
propitiate the muse, we trespassed on
those wanton pastimes. which ro-
nance has ascribed to the literary
cult.
AS We watched the apple, whole
orchard OF them, suspicious agri-

art THOU FOR US. OR FOR OUR

ADNERSAklES!
The friends of Hon. Augustus z.
Wilson. whose acceptance by all ele-
ments of the party in Louisville, his
home, makes him the logical candi-
date for governor on the Republican
ticket. may well inquire the meaning
of the movement under the surface
TO secure uninstructed delegations
from counties in the First congress
sional district. Wilson is the strong
est candidate in the First district. A
few months ago II was anybody s
race, but the others stood off, while
Mr.. Wilson made manly overtures.
Louisville chose him from among the
receptive. and then western Kentucky
accepted him. Naturally his friends
wish him to receive the. instructions
of the delegates. Just as naturally
and logically all the friends of fair
play wish the delegation to be in
structed for somebody.
As we said in reference to our
own county a few days ago, the only
way the delegation to the state con-
vention can convey the will OF their
constituency into the convention, is
to carry their instructions with them.
II is no shibboleth of Republican
ism to be for Mr.. Wilson. There are
lots of other good men in the party.
Any Republican has right to be for
any candidate that suits him, and we
shall not abuse him for his choice.
All we ask is that he be for that man,
go into the convention and seek to
get Instructions for him, and let the
convention choose which candidate
II Is for. Then let that candidate for
the nomination. who is the choice Of
the most Republicans at the conyen-
ton, be indorsed
News reports indicate that some
body is trying to trick the friends Of
all the candidates into sending I'M

body should come out in the open

'culturalist watched US. The same
fate befell our ardent observation OF
an industrious hen, encountered in
the course Of a hungry camping trip
The sociological character of all our
early experiences and researches
might have Indicated to us a journal
istic career; but, alas, there Is not a
genius among us. The paraioxical
nature Of life, itself, might have sci
us upon a profitable trend of thought
at later day; but just at that time
Il was only confusing.
We had not then learned that a
poet need not be a drunkard; that a
playwright need not be licentious
that man does not have to be an
idiot to be inspired; that Newton had
done something before he watched
the apple; and Franklin was not as
frivolous in his pursuits as the $50
lated episode of the kite flying might
indicate.
We wonder why the schools every
where don't drop some of the mis-
leading examples for the young and
guide them back to the old testament
to study the writings of the only
biographer Of human men, who ever
told the truth: perhaps who ever
knew the truth to tell it.
Consider the youth, Joseph, who
wore a coat of many colors and
dreamed a dream of self-exaltation.
which he related to his brethren, and
was afterward sold into Egypt for
being presumptious. Consider the
years of hard training to fit this
spoiled boy to be the preserver of the
civilized world. Joseph had his
dream, and II came true; but had
Joseph foreseen the years of separa-
ton from home and kindred, of
slavery and Imprisonment through
which he must pass to the realization
of that dream, he would have been
more modest in its early interpreta-
ton.
It's a long, hard way to the end Of
the rainbow.
Aspiration calls us through a maze
of years and tears.
The higher the hope, the sleeper
the ascent.
The dream of Pharaoh's butler, we
are told, required only three days for
fulfllment. That is the difference be-
tween the dream of a butler and the
dream of a Joseph. Pharaoh called
the former to be a servitor. He called
Joseph to be a ruler.
Full of encouragement for the
young must be the study of this
young mans biography. for these
graduates must all pass through a
period of slavery-the bondage of
irksome duty-yes, and perhaps,
under the brutal lash of stern neces-
sity. They are to be thrust into
prison; for what is prison but limit
of opportunity?
It's the way we MAKE the best of
the situation that shortens our term
of servitude. It's contentment that
forever bars the way of egress. In
the absorption of interpretating the
dreams Of others, don't forget your
own dream; and beyond and above
all. don't neglect to bespeak a good
word from the butler.
Then when the summons comes.
dress and go hastily; for Pharaoh is
an opportunity that will not wait.

HOT AIR TREATMENT
Has Proven It's Worth in the Treat
ment of All Diseases.

l am using, in connection with the
IOsteopathic treatment, the Dry Hot
Air treatment, and the great sue
|cesses achieved with it demonstrate
its efficacy. ~
In one form or another heat has
been employed in treatment of dis
ease from the earliest times and in
every part of the world, but, its use
has become more general In later
years than ever before-simply be-
cause its application and uses have
become better known.
We have a better understanding
of the physiological laws upon
which the treatment is based, and
have greatly improved the mechanical
apparatus employed until now It Is
one of the most useful means at our
disposal for the treatment of dis
ease.
The treatment is stimulating to
the whole system. every organ and
function, and when used with the
Osteopathic treatment forms the most
rational cure in all sciences.
Especially are the treatments In
dicated in all diseases incident to the

ach, liver and bowels, and in asthma,
