THE DEMING
HIGH SCHOOL
Commencement Exercises
Score a Meritorious
Success.

It is not with a purpose of cast
ing any reflections upon former
Commencement Exercises that
we would denominate Friday
nights entertainment the best
by far ever held under similar
circumstances, but that we shall
expect better results each year
under our able corps of instruc-
tors and our rapidly developing
system of education.
The opera house was crowded
on this the occasion of the Com
mencement Exercises of the
Deming High School, 1903. The
Mandolin Club rendered several
beautiful and pleasing selections.
The Seniors and school marched
in to a lively air. The Euter-
pean Club, composed of about
thirty young ladies, gave a yell
that fairly shook the building and
the curtain was raised on one Of
the most charming scenes that
ever met the eye Of a public
.hool patron.
The graduating class sat en-
embowered in roses, while the
stage decorations were elaborate
and especially pleasing. Just in
front of the stage, on a pedes-
tai, stood the beautiful model of
q three maSted schooner as
though fully rugged and equip

lIfe's ocean, and many were the
friends to exclaim, Bon Voyage,

in a master way and showed
great care and painstaking in
preparation.
True Success" by George
w. Chester, was an Grafton with
vim and point, beautiful in rhet-
oric but unfortunately for speak
er and hearers, lacked voice pow
cr to penetrate to the back seats.
"At a Glance" by Miss Kath-
crime Wamel was broad in scope,
elegant in composition and fluent
in execution. She held the clos
est attention Of the restless aud
ience and every word could be
distinctly heard by all who cared
to listen.
True Citizenship" by Miss
Mary Mahoney, was a strong or
alton, well delivered and showed
profound knowledge Of modern,
medieval and ancient history with
its effect on national life.
The ladies are especially to be
commended for their oratory and
the absence of manuscript was a
distinguishing feature.
The class is a strong one and
reflects the character and ability
OF their instructors.
With especial credit to those
of the past year, Prof. Doderer
and Miss Decker and all, give
promise of being willing and able
to accomplish anything they
may undertake.
The talent and devotion of all
the teachers were further shown
in the drill and training of tn
voices of the lower grades, who
rendered many very beautiful
musical selections throughout the
evening.
Prof. Doderer spoke briefly Of
the pleasant relations that haC
always existed between the
members OF the class and then
teachers and of the many pleas,
ant hours spent in directing then
in their work, and very feelingly
commended them to the trustees
as having all passed by averages
much above those required by
graduates, whereupon Mr.. J. A
Mahoney, president of the boarC
of trustees, presented the class
their diplomas, and the class o.

COL. wATTERsoN's POSITION.

Someone inquired why Colonei
Henry Watterson IS supporting Bryan
so vigorously this year. We cannot
read Colonel Watterson's mind. but
he is editor of a paper owned by tn
Haldeman estate, and We can reeit'
some facts in chronological ordea
without drawing any conclusions.
The Courier-Journal fought Mr.
Bryan in his previous campaigns
Last year Mr.. Bryan made a tour OF
Kentucky in behalf OF the candida
cies of Beckham and Hager They
were defeated. and legislators sent TO
Frankfort from Louisville by the
Haldeman machine, in defiance of
positive primary instructions. voted
against Mr.. Beckham. Later at the
state convention at Lexington to Sc
lect delegates to the Denver conven-
ton and to reorganize the party, the
old beckham crowd was ruled out of
the party organization through coal
ition between the Louisville ring and
the western Kentucky congressman,
on condition or the state voting for
Bryan and the selection Of Congress
man Stanley for governor next time.
At the Fifth district congressional
convention Col. VILLAIN Haldeman.
whose candidate for mayor Of Louis
vile committed suicide after being
ousted by the court of appeals. and
whose next candidate was defeated at
the polls, made friends with John
Whalien proprietor of the notorious
Buckingham theater and saloon.
These twain appeared IN conjunc-
, ton at Lexington, and now dominate
the state organization. They dictated
the delegation to Denver. That dele
cation supported Bryan for the NOM
nation and Colonel Watterson has
since been his chief champion. How
much volitioa there was in the mat
ter on Colonel Watterson's part, We
are not able to judge.

the efforts OF Judge Taft's opponent
to asperse him, The Sun undertook
an elaborate expose of the main
points made against him and the next
morning paper drew the conclusion
that The Sun had thrown up the
SPONGE, when we were just trying to
help out with the arraignment of
Judge Taft, to show how weak It Is.
Now, we will have to explain to our
feeble contemporary:
We said President Roosevelt VIC
lated "time-honored political prece-
dent in ignoring the tricks of politi-
clans. We said that he drove biz
corporation contributors away from
the Republican party. We said he
prosecuted monopo,ies and incurred
their hate; we said he Joined the
people in support of Taft, because an
effort was being made TO. gain con-
troll of both parties by the Standard
crowd. The nomination of Taft saved
the Republican party. We said Judge
Taft opposed corporation contrfbu-
tions and that he refused to make
political alliance with ]. b. Foraker
to get the delegates from his own
state, because II would involve a
compromise Of principe. But he
won in spite of Foraker. We said
he made a record in the PHILIPPINES,
which he found in a state of insur-
rection; in Cuba; at Panama and in
quieting the oriental misunderstsnd-
ings: that while judge he enforced
the law as he found 1t and was sus-
tanned by the supreme court.
His opponents have been throwing
al this up to him as If it was some
thing wrong, and the idea tickled us
so much that we summed 1t all pp
as the reason why a politician would
tremble at the prospect of having as
a candidate a man. who has a record
for doing things. instead of just talk
ing.

ordinance introduced. II was put
of once more for all the council
men to investigate; then the ordi-
nance was referred for revision; now
It goes to the city solicitor to ascer-
tain why any further legislation is
necessary.
Mayor Smith instructed the fire
chief TO prosecute the Standard OIL
company for violation of the present
ordinance, limiting the amount of oil
to be stored in the city. The facts
were not disputed and the company
was fined. It brazenly set up techni-
cal objections and appealed. If d
cont 'nuance is secured the case may
dawdle in the courts for months, and
in the meantime a confagratson may
be started from the plant.
Solicitor Campbell advised the
mayor to hold up, pending action of
the council. A measure ordering the
removal OF all such institutions from
the city would settle his matter fin
ally and at once.
Nobody wants the tanks there, but
the Standard OIL company, and since
It's attorneys and local newspaper
have hushed up on the subject, we
presume they are satisfied they have
the legislation blocked in the lower
board.

If a lad is attracted by a maid he

pretends not to notice. but when the
merry-making breaks up at dawn she
will. II she reciprocates his feelings,
