LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.
Toe end of the second term OF the
scholastic year is approaching and
signs of examinations are in the air.
The delinquent student has little to
fear, although he knows that on the
first and second terms very largely de.
pends the success of the year.
Secretary of State, the Honora BILE
John E Swanger, has very kindly re.
new, his offe Of gold medal to be
awarded to the member OF the Senior
class who received the highest average
work in scholarship.
President Allen has established
another record for generosity BY eff r.
ing . gold medal TO the mem bership OF
the Sophomore class receiving the high
est average; and so the good work
goes on.
The Sophomore class highly appreci.

oth.r favors extended 10 the school at
large, Of which they have received
their share, presented President Allen
q very beautsfu chair for his personal
use in the chapel or auditorium. The
gift was complete surprise and was

5, ,stem of government will give more
efficient service at less or no greater
cost than under existing conditions.
! Every legal voter is stockholder, with
one share of stock, in this business cor
poration, and it is his duty to vote that
share of stock in person, for no proxies
are recognized. The opportunity Of Des
Moines can hardly be realized. The
eyes of the whole country are upon
us to see if we can make good. ..-
'lf shall be elected it will be my
single purpose to so conduct the af-
fairs Of the Office as to give an eff
cient business administration, not mig
gardly, not extravagantly, but that the
people shall have full value received
for the taxes collected and expended.
Six years experience on Des Moines
school board convinces me that this can
be DONE ,--.,
''It is my hope and belief that under
the Des Moines plan "that government
of the people, by the people and for the
people can be established and main
tained in our cities, efficiently, honestly
and economically, and that Des Moines
can furnish an object lesson to our sis
