Commencement Days.

The season of commencements and
class exercises is at hand. It is a proud
time to every family involved. 1t is a
busy time, too. and more thoughts than
ever are being given to f1lmy, fleecy
frocks and streaming ribbons. usually
white. The boys are also being groomed.
Friends of the family are being invited.
Other extensive preparations are under
way. ClasSrooms are all ahutter and the
old world looks rosy to millions OF bright
and hopeful eyes.

equally momentous period in the world S
history? What age that ever went before
was SO important? None.
How many. many times will dear teach
err and school fellows be told by proud
though nervous valedictorians that the
speaker is moved by the conflicting emo
tons OF joy and OF sorrow-joy at going
forth to conquer a waiting and ex-
pectant world. sorrow at leaving alma
mater. All! How often will fresh lips
and guileless tongues say I'VE stand now
at the threshold Of our career"
Well, commandments come and go,
diplomas turn yellow with the years,
| ribbons fade. flowers wither, school prizes
tons as precious relics and the world
moves on. Few Of youths dreams are
realized, but the more one strives and
works and hopes the nearer will they
come true.

The Park Concert.

The open-air concert programs have re-
appeared In The Star. 1t is good to see
them. Familiar names and familiar titles
look the reader In the face and seem as
glad to get back in type as the readers
are to sec them there. These programs
revive happy summer memories Of joyous
and solemn music. torches pickering red

On the ropes or sitting on the lawn and

added to that was his personal popu-
| larity, which extended from ocean to
ocean. He would not have run again
himself but he would have thrown his
whole weight for some man in whom
he had all confidence. 1t might have been
Mr.. Root, for whom he had recently
expressed the highest admiration.
Whoever had led 'the party would, with
Mr. Roosevelt's assistance. have been
elected, and been committed to the call
ing of an extra session of Congress for
revision of the tariff. And the Con-
gress would have been led as it was led
last year. and the republican divisions
have existed as they did exist. Mr..
Aldrich in the Senate and Mr.. Cannon in
the House would have been on deck,
just as they were when Mr.. Taft adj
dressed Congress on the tariff question.
Would another man in the White House
have done more than Mr.. Taft did to-
ward shaping the new tariff measure?
Would he have had a bill drawn, and in
sisted upon that or nothing? And If
Congress had gone counter to his wishes
would he have vetoed it's performance
and appealed to the country? And, had
he done so, would the country have
sustained him? Who may say? 1t is a
matter for speculation. and every man OF
speculation in dealing with the subject
may suit himself.
Mr.. Taft did no. so on the bench. Mr..
Roosevelt expressed a preference for
him for President, and first the repub-
lican party. and then the country. in
aorsed the selection. Is there any reason
to believe that the country regrets its
action Not yet. Even the election Of
democratic House next fall would not
carry that significance.

Shun the Public Drinking Cup.

The public drinking cup is under the
ban, but it has not been banished 1t
will probably take some time to so edu-
cate the sanitary and esthetic taste OF
the ordinary run OF men that they will
shun a public drinking cup. Opinion is
developing against it, however, and it is
doomed
Some men may be led into sanitary Nab
its, some have to be driven into these
habits, and then watched. aad some men
must have sanitation hammered into
them Some men have such confidence
in their vigor and strength of constitution
that they seem to consider themselves inn
mune to the ills that flesh is heir to.
Some have such lack of confidence in the
theory of germs and we'll based opinions
of sanitary experts that they expose not
only themselves but everybody else with
whom they come in contact. Post a
spring, pump or well as unsafe, and if
the water is clear and cool any number
Of men will slake their thirst there, and
laugh at the danger sign.
The public drinking cup is a public en-
envy. In parks, schools and railway
coaches it continues to do extensive work
as a disease conveyor. The bubbling foun-
tain Is performing a great service. But
it involves new way of drinking, and
many persons are as set i'll their way of
drinking as in their way of thinking.
Anything new is revolutionary. Men who
would shun dirty tea cup will embrace
dirty dipper.
The schools in some places are insisting
On the individual drinking cup, and Kan
sas has legislated against the popular
drinking glass in railroad trains. The
careful and cleanly traveller always car
ries his own cup, but all travellers are not
careful and cleanly.

believe that his choice would have fallen

The End Of the World.

Said the sorrowful. long-haired stranger
There Is grim despair
In the very air
And there's no escaping the danger"
NAY, nay!'' said old Uncle ST.
Before you are putting an end to
This great big ball
You ought to recall
What q lot il has to attend to.
Just think of the lands so vast
That knowledge has never frightened
Will this old world shirk
It's enormous work
For the weary and unenlightened?
"And think of the questions grave
Awaiting an explanation.
will this old world back
Or jump the track
1Ere it reaches it's destination?
Don't think that the end is near,
With prizes so well worth winning
TO engage the mind
or all humankind
Why, the world Is just beginningr'

Woman Suffrage and Capital.

When Mrs. O. H P. Belmont and sew
eral other women prominent in the fash
tonable life of New York CAV their sup
port to the cause of woman suffrage ana
announced a purpose to take an active
part in spreading the doctrine they were
highly complimented in many quarters
Their step was praised as both credltabie
to themselves and promising for the well
fare of their sex. Time and money d.
verted thus from fashion into the chan
nels of everyday usefulness would pay
the handsomest of dividends. The world
was moving. So excellent an example
would be widely copied. and we should
soon see many women of large means and
abundant leisure turn from pursuits
classed as idle to a field of labor for the
uplifting of their sex.
In a short time. however. another kind
OF note was heard. Not all the women
working for suffrage rejoiced in the new
recruits Fear was expressed that these
women of ia shion We're merely lndulging
in a new fashion. Newport had palled.
Dinners balls. parlor vaudeville, and all
the rest of it had lost lure. The new fad
was suffrage. But how long would that
last? The fight for suffrage called for
staying qualities. and who ever developed
staying qualities in the world of fashion?
Now another note of criticism has been
sounded. The national socialist con-
eress has spoken on the subject,
and warns the friends of suffrage
against these women Of fashion. not
as being idlers turning to new fad,
but as scheming capitalists having an eye
on controlling the votes of women in be-
half of capital after suffrage has been Sc
cured. Beware of them. Mrs. Belmont,
and Miss Morgan. the daughter of Pier
pont Morgan are mentioned by name.
This adds materially to the gayety of
the discussion. If the phrase is appro-
pirate, it brings the matter down to a
practical masculine basis. These women
are charged with taking a leaf out OF the
masculine book. They are accused of
figuring on using women at the ballot box
just as rich men have used voters of
their sex for the advancement of capital
istic ends 1t is even suggested that these
rich men, and working under the secret
direction of their chiefs.
Well, women must learn that politics is
hard. and frequently cruel. game.
Everything goes. Motives are often ques-
toned. Hard knocks must be given and
taken 1t would be better for the lead
ers of the woman suffrage movement not
ing recruits. They will need all the help
they can get. and the gates should be
kept wide open.

Richard P. Bland and 1895.

An old acquaintance who recently met
David B. Hill quotes him for some sur
prising sentiments respecting the demo-
cratic national convention OF 1896. Ac-
cording to this man. Mr.. Hill, after dis
covering that the silver men were in CON-
plete control. thought the thing to do was
to nominate Richard p. Bland, 1.-The
father Of the silver Collar" ara he is
still Of the opinion that Mr.. Bland would
have been elected As he puts 1t, enough
''eid-fashioned democrats and Old SOL
diers' would have rallied to the ticket
to give it success.
How does so astute politician as AFR.
Hill make this out? What particular

democrats outside Of the south and west,
where silver had for years been strong?
