SAID TO BE A GOOD ORATOR
THERE ARE FoRTY-FIvE MEN,
1ERs OF THE CLASS, ALL or
WHOM ARE CANDIDATES FOR
GRADUATION HoNoRs.

Prof. Robert ]. Alley, state superin-
ltendent Of. instruction, has been Sc
cured to deliver the principal address
at the graduation exercises OF the local
high school, to be held Friday morn
Ing, june II. at the high school chap
81. Prof. Alley is one OF the best
known educators in Indiana, having
been before his recent election to the
state superintendency. professor at
Indiana university. Prof c. w.
Knouff, of the local high school, who
is well acquainted with him, states
that Mr.. Alley is one of the most pleas
ing speakers he ever heard.
The class, as well as the high school
faculty and Superintendent T. A Mott,
are busily engaged preparing the rest
OF the program. It is probable that
Mr.. Alley will be the only one from ont
OF the city to speak at the commence
ment.
Departure From Rule.
A departure from the rule, hereto
fore. has been attempted by Prof.
Knouff. Instead of the graduation
pupils writing thesis they will do an
extra amount Of English work. This
Is more acceptable to the pupils and
teachers as well. The valedictorian
and salutatorian Of the class will not
have place on the program, as 1t Is
often the rule that these two, while the
best students. are the poorest speak
ers. The class includes 45 pupils, who
are candidates for graduation. They
are Charlotte Bayer, Ralph Brown,

in the United States army and as

William Jennings Bryan. the peer
1ass orator who has so often lead the
Democratic hosts in national cam
raigns in this weeks issue Of the
Commoner takes a stand in favor OF
the retirement Of the Federal govern
mept from its partnership with the

IL set forth in the following editorial
The republican party has long
boasted of being the party OF good anu
morality. It has had the support OF a
large majority of the ministers and
religious papers, and it has constantly
charged the democratic party with be-
ing an ally of the saloon and In league
with lawlessness.
"The time has come to put 1t to the
test. It matters not whether a per

him or not.
Popular government rests upon re-
speot for law, and nothing is more
calculated to cultivate disrespect Tor
law than this action of the federal gov
eminent in not only ignoring the wish
es of the people in various localities'
but in actually reaping profit from
the issue of licenses which stimulate
law.breaking. Can the federal govern

TAFT FOR PEACE.

William Howard Taft, the man
whom T. Roosevelt chose to succeed
himself as White House occupant, is
apparently of milder temper than MS
benefactor. When Roosevelt was ele-
waited to the presidency by the I'M
timely death of William Mckinley, the
apostle of peace, there were wars ana
rumors of wars written on the mental
mans of every peace dove in the entire
cote. It was predicted that a Kaiser
Wilhelm. untamed and spelling LOT
strive had come forward as the West
ern exponent of hard lighting. Wall
Street trembled, and the cautious
crept into their bomb proof cells ana
awaited the first smell OF sulphur.
Rut inst as the Kaiser sobered under
responsibility so did the hero of San
Juan hill. So conservative did the
Strenuous One become that in naming
his understudy he looked over the
bunch. rejecting this one and that
with the Shakespearian exclamation
81 would he we're little fatter.' No
lean and envious Cassius" was per-
mitted to reign in his stead, but a
man of avoirdupois and smile. That
Taft will be man of peace and not
of war is inferred from the following
extract of letter written the Natio
al Peace Congress-:
"The policy of the United States IN
avoiding war under all circumstances
except those plainly inconsistent with
honor or its highest welfare has been
made so clear to the world as haroly
to need a statement at my hands.

mate influence extends while at the
head of this government, it will always
be exerted in the full in favor OF peace,

other countries, but as between our
sister nations"

MR.. WHITES STROKE.

United States Ambassador Henry
"A hite who represents this nation at
the gay French capital, silently sat
at home, supposedly smoking his btacL
cigar. and perhaps cursing inaudlbly,
at the hour when his daughter, Mar
garet Muriel White, marched down
the aisle of the English Catholic
church at Paris for the avowed pur-
pose of being the second time welded
to a gentleman of foreign abstraction
who had ensnared her young affec-
tons. The idea is prevalent that MT.
White thought thus to strengthen his
diplomatic prestige and make good
impression upon the American people.
That he failed entirely to do is not MS
own fault, as the American people
were not really enough interested in
the private affairs of the White family
TO care whether the young daughter
was ,,o under one religious ser
vice or half dozen. And it would
have been more distinctively American
for the old gentleman to have recog-
nized that when it comes to hymenal
affairs mere man has nothing to do
with it further than to foot the bills
or pose as the mild and willing bride
groom. The White marriage was
more complicated than the majority
of those in which an American heiress
purchases snub-nosed foreign under
strapper whose progenitors were once
successful brigands and who purloined
a title in connection with their other
stealings. Two services were neces-
sary on account of the bride being
Protestant and the groom a Catholic
The Catholic church refused to permit
the use of the Protestant service In
the first instance and Daddy White
refused to witnesse the second perfor-
nance. But they were married, just
the same.
