 THE W. H. $. EXERCISES.
 7The graduating exercises of the Washington High school were held in the Town hall on Wednesday after noon, June IF, ats o'clock. The au- dience filled the hall and many were obliged to stand. Flowers were used with bunting for the decoration of the stage and all the members of the class carried.handsome floral remembrances of roses or carnations. The nine mem- bers of the class, all of whom were in white, occupied seats on the stage, marching in with the other members of the school who occupied seats di- rectly in front of the platform. The program opened with the invocation by Rev Dr Peck, followed by the singing of the school hymn. The salutatory with an essay on Dr Remus Fowler was very ably given and very pleasing by Miss May McGrath. A duet, Sweet Maud Low'was sung very finely by Miss and Anderson and Miss Eleanor Eek man. An essay on Frederick Gum was very interesting and delivered with ability by Miss Amelia Poppen- sick. The class history was very de- lightfully given by Miss Lima Wyant, and was full of interesting informa- tion. The class song was next sung with Miss Paine as accompanist. Rev R. E. Carter and Rev Dr Peck spoke to the graduating class and thelr re- marks were both inspiring and inter- esting. Rev Father McGuinnis gave a short address which was much en- joyed. First he dwelt upon the fact that the present system of schooling provided better accommodations and better schools than there had been in the past. That the fathers and moth- CT of to-day helped to provide these better conditions in schools than they themselves had received. He inn pressed upon the graduating class their obligations of keeping up their schools to their present high standards. He also directed their attention to the class motto. Labor omnia vincit, !" and drew most beautiful word pie ture of that grand old Army of the Po- tomac, who after suffering its previous defeats in the Civil war, yet was not discouraged but labored on and finally met with victory at Gettyburg. "La- bor conquers all things" One must not get discouraged, but must per- severe and work on. Following this Miss Anna Terek read very able essay on "Civic Spirit and Education, ;" and at the close gave the valedictory address in very charming way. It was proud moment for the graduat- ing class of 1908 of the Washington High school to receive the first diplo- mas eyer issued by Town Board of Education of Washington to any public institution. Frank Kilborn awarded the nine we'll earned diplomas to the following: Agnes R. Crowther, Mary E. McGrath, Annie M. McIlravey, Jen- nie E. Peerson, Amelia A.

TAFT rNDoRsEs KANSAS IDEA.

In unison with careful business
men irrespective of party Affiliations
In regarding the bank deposits guar
anty scheme of Bryan as impractica-
bic and unfeasible. Judge Taft has no
.hesitancy in accepting the plank in
the Kansas platform declaring for, the
voluntary guarantee of bank deposits.
In letter to w. r. Stubs, Republi-
can candidate for Governor of Kan
sas, Mr.. Taft thus Endorses this plank:
e Il agree with you that the action
of the Republicans Of Kansas to an
enabling act. by which banks in Kan
sas may voluntarily guarantee each
others deposits, is very different from
the proposition in the Democratic
platform enforcing a tax against all
banks, by which they are in effect to
guarantee the recklessness and dis
honesty of every other bank.
4 sincerely believe that the prop
osition In the Kansas platform avoids
altogether the objections which /
urged in my speech of acceptance to
the Democratic proposition for a ma
tional enforced insurance of deposits
In all banks. The Kansas proposition
comes within the saving clause which
/ expressly inserted to show that the
objection had to make was not ap-
plicable to such system. %

NORTH CAROLINA FOR TAFT.

Taft sentiment is SO pronounced in
the South as to give strength to the
belief that the breaking .ofethe Solid
South" is near at hand. This Is par
ticularly the case in North Carolina.
John @. Capers, of Charleston, s. O.,
who has been studying conditions in
North Carolina, is convinced that the
sentiment is SO strong in that State as
to safely place 1t in the Republican
column. Said he: with the posi-
BILE exception of Maryland, the Re-
publicans have better chance Of car
rying North Carolina this year than,
of carrying any Southern State, not
even excepting Missouri or Kentucky.
II the business men of North Carolina
have the courage to vote to their con-
yictions. there will be no doubt about
the Republicans carrying the State.
-Four years ago the 85, 600 Repub-
lican votes came mostly from the
country districts. The business men
are apprehensiye of the election OF
Mr.. Bryan, and believe that they
will march up to the polls and vote
against him."

Mr.. BRYAN AND
BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.

Those who are declaring With light
hearts, here and there, that the cleo
tion of Mr.. Bryan would ,cuuse no dis
turbance and do little harm because
his hands would be firmly. tied by a
Republican Senate, do not weigh care
fully the elements which make up
business confidence Whether Mr..
Bryan succee ded in doing much direct
Injury to the public credit and to bus
mess progress by his wierd notions on
public finance Is not so much the
question as the indirect injury he
would do by the distrust which would
be caused In business circles by his.
election, and which would probably
be prolonged through his administra-
ton. 1t is doubtful IL large interests
would care to embark on new enter
prises under government whose ex-,
ecutive head had declared that. athe
gold standard Is conspiracy against
the human race and that 1t would
remain In force no longer than he
could get rid of 1t. There Is no indi-
cation as yet that Mr.. Bryan has sx-
nerienced great change of heart ON
these questions. On the contrary, his
last convention at Denver expressly
declared that if there was to be an
emergency currency, ssuch currency
should be issued and controlled by
the Federal Government. In other
words, free silver having been rele-
gated to the garnet. n still cheaper
substitute is to be found In free Coy
eminent paper. .
The actual execution OF such
projects may seem remote, but It
would be SO easily in the power of a.
Bryan Secretary of the Treasury to
bring anxiety and disturbance into
the market that something like par
alysis would be likely to afEilct the
business community during his en-
tire term of service. 1t is question
which would come home directly to
every working man, in restricted
volume Of business and the curtail-
ment of employment. The great cap-
ttalists and railway pioneers are ,,n-
doubtedly prepared to go forward
with construction and improvements
upon q large scale IL the election
inspires their confidence. They will.
withhold their enterprises and keen
business within narrow limits under a:
President whom they distrust. For
the working man, therefore, who de-
sires the continuance of the full din
ner pail and a well lined pocket, a
vote for Mr.. Bryan means a vote
squarely against his own interests.
It is doubtful II any declaration
which Mr.. Bryan could make in the
desperate scramble for votes world
change this feeling OF distrust into
confidence. =

NEARBY ALL NEGROES FOR

It is significant that many Of Mr..
Taft's visitors are negro clergymen
who desire to assure the Republican
candidate of their support. Rev. @. s.
Gee, OF Greenfield. Ohio, who, as pre-
siding elder OF the African Methodist
Episcopal Church of the district, came
to ask the candidate to address the
church's conference. Mr.. Taft ac-
cepted the invitation. and will make
a non-partisan address. In an inter-
view Rev. Mr.. Gee said:
aNinety-nine per cent. Of the negro
vote OF the Nation will be cast for
Judge Taft. ! have Travelled all over
Ohio. parts OF Pennsylvania and vir-
giLia, and know whereof I speak. y
The Rev. Mr.. Robinson, who is di-
rector Of the first negro Taft club or
ganized and Incorporated in this
country. was as emphatie as Mr.. Gee
in his assertion that Mar. Taft would
receive practically the entire negro
vote.

1t has been suggested that we might

wicked and more infamous than the
suggestion of war between nations
who have enjoyed such o time hon
ored friendship and who have nothing

In the fervor of his protestations
of American amity for the Japanese
Mr.. Taft kept far away from the over

ministers. Through the entire speech
