ing Mr. Meigs, paid him a glowing
compliment for his many manly ouali
ties and the able manner in which he
mad presided at the last session of
the legislature and the grand fight he
made for better and purer govern
lment.
Mr. Meigs was given an ovation as
ne stepped forward and when he be-
gan to speak he was given the closest
and most rapt attention. 1t was said
by many that his address was one
of the best ever heard here, where
grand addresses are common. He
spoke calmly, but with much force
and his words bore great weight. He
told of conditions as they are and did
not mince words. He pictured the
grand opportunities before those who
strive to attain great heights, but
he also pictured the hard struggle to
attain these heights. He pictured a
happy marriage as the crowning event
of womans life, but he pictured an
unhappy marriage, where she is alb
solutely dependent upon her husband
for everything and her individuality
| is obliterated, as the most miserable
existence and declared there are mil
lions of such. he painted "a glowing
picture of the great possibilities be-
fore women today and told of the
great advancement made by her sex.
He spoke words of encouragement
and warning to both young men and
young women. lie paid high tri-
butte to Washington State College and
the western schools, which keeps the
student near to the people and teach
rs them modern things that will be
useful THE mind should be work
shop, not a store house is one of
the truthful and forceful statements
which won applause He said that
many students come from the eastern
schools with their heads stuffed full
If ancient and dead languages until
their minds resemble garret, stored
With useless trash of bygone days.
