The saces.sureats Sermon

The Methodist church was packed to
the doors, Sunday evening, the occasion
being the baccalsureate sermon deliv-
cred by Rev. j. E. Sarles. Never was
a company of promising young men
and women given better advice, more
helpful suggestions or food for thought
than were the members of the 1908
graduating class. The speaker inn
pressed them with the thought that
now, on the eve of their entrance into
realities of life, they were far from
being fitted to occupy high stations
in life. They lacked the experience
that must come from years of toll.
Pure living, high ideals and back bone
are the essentials for success in its
truest sense. 1t is easy to follow the
crowd, to drift on with the public
opinion, but when it becomes necessary
to take stand alone, or fight against
the current, it is then that back bone
is required, and without it none can
reach the highest goals.

THE DAYS OF PRECIOUS MEMORY.

. Fellow Patriots. Dead and Living.

ETOR CENSOR: The season is again
at Ind when our thoughts are turned
to the many silent camps in our broad
land where sleep the brave who went
forth IN the hour of trial to defend
home and country, offering their all
that the nation might become firmly
united under one flag, with liberty and
justice for all. Into these camps viii
be bourn, by loving hands, tender tri
butes of love to the memory of the
services of the silent sleepers, and be
told In song and story their many noble
sacrifices. In the little camp in your
beautiful city now rest from their
labors many whom | knew in camu and
field, some of whom went forth when
the trumpet sounded in the spring of
1861, and who were mustered out On the
field of battle, and others who came
not back as they had gone forth in the
flush and strength of manhood, but
blasted By the storm of battle, and
manned to their rest. How many ages
hence shall this one lofty scene be act.
ed over? Here in Chicago, where sleep
many thousands in the numerous great
camps, the day has grand significance
because of our cosmopolitan population,
y v
as the day comes round for this great
object lesson of love and patriotic de-
votion to duty. In the morning Grand
Army Posts hold appropriate exercises
IN the cemeteries. and during the after
noon lead the grand parade down
Michigan boulevard escorted by thou
sands of the military and civic organi-
cations to the strains of inspiring
81 Il
hundreds of thousands of people shout
ing their plaudits of praise and waving
Old Glory. The columns of the old
boys grow shorter every year, but the
tie that binds becomes stronger in
many ways, and former foes have long
since joined hands with us and now
keep step to the music of union, liberty
and law.
How we love to wander back
Over memory's silent track.
To the stirring scenes and haunts of martial years.
And with reverence profound
On each hallowed camping ground
Hold communion with long gone hopes and fears.
Gently now the South winds blow
Where the sleeping friend aud foe.
Wait in silence for the final bugle call
When that mighty reveille
Sounds through all eternity.
Let us rally round old Glory one and all.
Of the four printer boys who left the
CENSOR office in 1861, one sleeps at
Arlington, one at Gettysburg, and one
on the Pacific slope, the latter suffering
long years from wound received at
Gainesville in 1862, while | am still in
the ranks, though blind for many
years, caused by wounds received in
battle, and | love, with tongue and pen,
to pay tribute to the memory of my
comrades who have gone to the silent
camping grounds beyond the majestic
river.

$50 900 TO 100000 The company was
compelled by the terms OF its policies
to make the loans. some of which
were the result of the policy-holders
inability to pay their premiums. These
borrowed the money from the company
TO make the payments and keeping
them standing. Borrowing for invest
ment buying of stocks was another
heavy factor in the heavy demand for
loans when the money stringency was
at its height. Insurance men say that
many of the borrowers were undoubts

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Judge KohIsaat, in

vor of the government in the suit of
Captain Oberlin NJ Carter, formerly
United States engineer, who was
charged with having defrauded the
government of funds amounting to
100000. through conspiracy with
the contractors, Greene and Gaynor.
The court ruled that Carter was not
entitled to the 500, 9ea IN unregistered
railroad bonds and other securities
which were traced by the government
to various safety deposit vaults and
banks in various parts of the country.
Under the decision, the government re-
tains these securities.
Carter claims that the funds in ques-
ton were given him by his father-in-
law. the late Robert f. Westcott, of
New York.
The case grew out OF the construc-
ton of certain river and harbor i'm
provements on the Georgia coast The
government prosecutors contended
that the army officer and contractors
had defrauded the government in the
sum of 80, 225,000, and that about
$4,000 of this went to Captain Car
