ALUMNI BANQUET.
High School Graduates of Former Year
Gather In Alumni Session

HAsn ScnoOl Graduates of Former Years
Gather in Alumni Session.
Sixty of Princeton's high school
alumni gathered at Odd Fellows hall
tuesday evening to enjoy their annual
banquet, elect officers for the ensuing
year, etc. The room was artistically
decorated with banks of ferns, lilacs,
honeysuckls and the colors of the So
clety, while nosegays were placed
upon the eight tables. Each table
seated eight persons. It was the great
event of the year with the alumni-en-
joyment reigned supreme from start
to finish.
Herbert Zimmerman delivered the
address of welcome and Albert
Angstman responded, Misses Mar
guerite Byers and Ida May Schmidt
sang duet, with Mrs. Ira G.. STANLEY
as accompanies; Miss Margaret Foltz
and Kathryn Kaliher gave readings,
and Miss Mary Howard executed a
piano solo. Those who proposed or
replied to toasts were as follows:
Ralph Whitney, Leon Nicely, Mrs.
oscar Stark, Miss Stella Prescott.
Fred Dugan and E. L. Mcmillan. Mr..
Mcmillan represented the school
board and gave one of his usual
pleasing and commonsense talks,
Chas. Brace was the POSTMASTER.
Following the supper, which was
prepared and served by the Rebekah
ladies, and which consisted of a
bounteous spread of all the good
things obtainable, new candidates
we're initiated. This proved to be the
most amusing feature of the program,
but we are forbidden to make public
the stunts performed in the initiatorv
ceremonies.
An election of officers terminated
the proceedings, and those chosen
were: President, Vernon Dickey; first
vice president, 81. L. Zimmerman:
second vice president, Eva Hatch:
third vice president, Jay N. Berg;
secretary, Eleanor Walker; treasurer,
Gladys Neumann; toastmaster, Ralph
Whitney.
There are now over one hundred
members in the Princeton High School
Alumni association.

There appears tosbe one Russian in
the whole Muscovite empire of $780,
100000 people who is absolutely free.
That man is Tqlstoi. He writes as be
pleases, attacks the government and
it's high officials, invites punishment,
but the police appear to be- afraid
to lay their hands on him. His pub.
fishers are arrested but Tolstoi re.
mains unhampered to continue his
work of reform. A writer in a New
York paper says Of this remarkable
author: "a man who by the mere
force of intellect tames the ferocious
Russian autocracy and by truth alone
defies its spies and assassins is an
apostle of liberty as surely destined
to deathless fame as the Russian, des.
potism is already appointed for
destruction. y

A Picnic Dinner.

The Ladies' Relief association was
entertained by Mrs. F. A. Lowell at a
picnic dinner on Friday, and the
spread was one fit to set before a
king. Twenty-Five ladies and seven
gentlemen we're present, among the
latter being Rev. J. W. Heard and
several old soldiers. It was very
enjoyable social event and the ladies
took advantage of the occasion to
present Mrs. Lowell with handsome
rug in honor of her birthday ami
versary, which occurred on June 2.
Mrs. Lowell was delighted with the
pretty memento.

The habit which some papers have
contracted of abbreviating the word
representative to "rep." is, to say
the least, in bad form, for it's meaning
is very liable to be misconstrued. In
fact, upon many occasions the abbre-
waited form of the word has been taken
to mean "reprobate.' The fact that
some of the representatives are repro
bates is, however, no excuse for the
confusing Authorization.

To economic on the army and navy
expenditures is one of President Taft's
aims. Not that he seeks TO reduce the
efficiency of these departments but tc
cut out unnecessary expenses, which
;. we presume means, among other
things, the discharge of numerous
chairwarmers who draw big salaries
for no other service than that of twid
ding their thumbs and trying tc
look wise. A host of these fellow:
should have been dispensed with Ions
ago.

In an address at the opening of the
Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition Jas.
J. Hill said it is law enforcement and
not law making that this country is in
need of. This is an indisputable
truth. There are plenty of laws on
the statute books, but how many of
them are enforced? Comparatively
few. And among them are many
meritOriOus laws which have practi-
cally become dead letters.

A settlement of the Philadelphia
street car strike has been effected and
she $50 scabs who we're engaged to
take the union mems places have been

There are people so narrow minded
that they almost 60 into fits if the
minister of their church should attend
a baseball game or go fishing. This
class of people are usually found,
upon careful investigation, to be
hypocrites-long-faced humbugs. Now
it is no more harm for minister
to attend ball game than a pink tea
or other social function. There is
nothing degrading about baseball
match and, besides, minister is a
mere human being, like the rest of us,
and needs occasional recreation.
Hence, the action of the delegates tc
the Episcopal convention at Duluth
takes our fancy. At the close of bust
ness the divines attended game Of
ball and had a glorious time.
