On Sunday evening last, the
baccalaureate sermon was deliv-
cred at the Methodist church BY
Rev. H. Nelson Tragitt, the Epis
copal minister. The church was
prettily decorated with the class
colors "old rose and green," and
honeysuckle flowers and leaves.
The scripture lesson. read by
Rev. 0. E. Boyce, was the sec
ond chapter of Proverbs. The
high school under direction of
Fred Port, furnished some ex
cellent instrumental music for
the occasion and the Methodist
choir several vocal pieces, one Of
these being trio by Mrs. G.. e.
Mills, Mrs. O. e. Boyce and Miss
Maym me Nixson. The address.
by Rey. Mr.. Tragitt, who's son,
Horatio, was one of the gradu-
ates, was an incentive to strug-
gle against the difficulties OF life
rather than follow the line of
least resistance, the discourse
being taken from the words in
the sixth verse of the 54th
psalm, make me to know wis
dom, and was replete with
wholesome counsel to the young
people who were about to close
their school life in Milbank, and
take upon them lives the larger
responsibilities of life. The
church building was completely
filled for the occasion, the teach
ers Of the school, the board Of
education and the parents of the
graduates having seats reserved
for them.

Mr.. Burke's Speech.

The speech of Hon. Charles Burke
Thursday evening of last week was a
fair and courteous presentation of the
stalwart contentious in the present
primary campaign, and showed up
very clearly the hollowness of the
pretensions of the insurgents to be
a party of reform. Among the first
things to which Mr.. Burke called at
tention was that iniquitous clause in
the primary law whereby few poll.
ticians in any county were empowered
to call off an election and themselves
name the delegates to state conven-
tion, while in neighboring counties
the deleg ates were being elected. The
demagogic stone tissue appeal by
which Governor Crawford carried
Mlnnehaha county two years ago by
making promise to build the capitol
at Pierre of South Dakota stone: and
the erection of a building composed of
the very stone which Governor Elrod
and the first capitol commission had
decided upon, but the contracts for
which were left open for Governor
Crawford's commission to receive or
reject. The bare-faced assessment of
the state officers for 10 per cent. of
their years salaries in fagrant oppo-
sition to the civil service rules. The
excessive appropriation of the last
legisture, by which the taxes of 1907,
have been greatly increased and those
of 1908 must of necessity be still fur
ther increased, and the new offices ere.
ated solely and Cnly to give places of
profit to favored politicians. All
these things and many others Mr..
Burke called attention to, and
very properly asked it the people and
tax payers of the state desired to en-
dorse that kind of reform.

house last evening to enjoy the
commencement exercises of a
class of seventeen young ladies
and gentlemen who this year
have finished their high school

cises of the city schools are al
ways a matter of great interest
in Milbank and this year was no
exception to the rule. The Op
era house was prettily decorated
with the class colors. The front
of the stage, the boxes and bal.

tooned and the class motto, "Ad

VOW HONEST, WHAT HAS he DONEi

Hsdley has been attorney general
Tor Missouri nearly four years. He
has spent more Of she states money,
twice over, than any attorney gener.
al the state ever had. He has had
more than twice the number OF sala.
ried assistants than was allowed to
his predecessors In office. With all
this what has be done, other than TO
run an extremely successful press
bureau la his own interest as the
prospective candidate OF tie Repub'
lean party for Governor. Such a
press bureau a. maintained by had.
ley, with Rush G. Lake and Frank
Blake, two OF his assistants, at its
head, was never before equaled In
Missouri. WIN some republican
brother point to any work done BY
these two paid assistants, other than
giving to the public press reports
from the attorney generals Office.
Not week was permitted to pass
without newspaper ad.lines on
prepared newspaper articles, being
given out to the metropolitan pa.
pers. II no other for publicity
appeared, some letter OF the Office
vas taken az the subject. And all
this to the end that Hadley might bs
made Governor. Other attorney.
generals, without a press bureau In
the office, accomplished some results
and put some cash 10 the state treas.
ury, What has Hsdley done? Where
10 the cash he has placed In the state
treasury? Where is the trust that
he has busted? He has thoroughly
advertised himself, whether In or out
OF the state, but when that is said al
has been said. The people OF Mis-
souri, are not to be misled by the re-
ports OF Mr.. Hadley's own prest
bureau, but have been patiently
awaiting results, which have not
come. They are tired OF flsshy head
