THE UNDERGRADUATES.

The Inter-Graduates Association
held their exercises Sunday morning
at Shorter's church to a large and
appreciative audience. The program,
although short, was an excellent one.
Miss Eva Carter, graduate, of the
schools of Galesburg, ILL.,. was the
first to appear with solo which she
sang with much expression. MISS
Carter possesses a charming person
ality and has sweet and well culti-
waited voice. The next on the program
was the address to the graduates on
"Selfishness the Evil of To-day" by
the Hon. w. B. Townsend, one of the
most noted Negro attorneys of the
West. The popular speaker was in
fine fettle and he handled his sub
ject with much tact and diplomacy,
showing himself to be thinker, stu
dent of philosophy, man of deep re-
search and best of all he did not
mince matters. He did not give the
graduates any sugar-coated pills to
swallow. Most speakers in address
ing graduates make them believe that
the world is theirs just for the asking
Lawyer Townsend's address in part,
taking his text from the Sermon on
the Mount and from the Golden Rule
out of which he carved his subject,
"Selfishness, the Evil of Today" He
drew comparisons from the lives OF
Adam and Eve showing that the same
selfish natures that existed then exist
today In order to show what diff
cult problems the graduates would
have to encounter in the guise of sell
fishness, he made q historical review
of modern conditions, comparing them

tertain them with smiles tonight and

LANSING. Mich. Aug. 1s.--Auditor-
General Fuller says that the state
board or equalization. which meets IN
Lansing next week, will encounter a
problem which has heretofore been
given but scant consideration, II the
information that iron valuations are
TO be increased 400 per cent. as a re-
suit OF Appraiser James Ftnlay's ind
ings, is correct.
j Inasmuch as the board Is compelled
10 equalize by counties and not by
townships, Mr.. Fuller says that the
taxpayers in Gogebic. Iron. Dickinson
and Marquette counties. where the
iron mines are located. may be re-
quired TO bear an additional burden
until the state tax commission
changes the valuations next year. III
the valuations of iron mines are
raised, IL will mean that the tax or
the whole county will be increased
accordingly, and all taxpayers VIII
suffer alike
Oct. . is the date set for the board
OF supervisors TO meet and spread the
county tax, and II will be impossible
for the state tax commission TO review
the assessment before that time. Con
sequently the tax as eQualized by the
state board will stand for at least a
year.
