The opera house was again filled to
the doors on Friday evening when
the commencement program was rem
dered. The hall was decorated for the
occasion in the class colors, cream and
old gold, and potted plants and flowers
occupied the front of the platform.
The class came into the hall, followed
by the members of the board of edu-
cation, the high school faculty and
others taking part in the program and
all were seated on the platform, the
members of the class occupying seats

Supt. Sutton to Quit.

Oakes city schools will lose an able
superintendent in Prof. M. D. Sutton.
At the regular meeting of the school
board on Tuesday evening, Mr.. Sutton
said he had accepted the agency for
North and South Dakota of the
National Lyceum Bureau Of Chicago.
The salary offered was so tempting,
double that he is receiving now, that
he felt it to his interest to accept.

salary to retain him as superintendent,
but could not come up to the figures of
the Lyceum Bureau. Mr.. Sutton has
some experience in lyceum work. The
company with which he has signed a
contract is new organization and a
strong one. 1t is syndicate formed
of the strong lyceum bureaus of the
country. Mr.. Sutton has done splendid
work in our schools the past year. He
is hard worker, is able and efficient,
and was assisted by an able corps of
teachers.

year are:
Principal-Miss Louise Kruger, Can
do, North Dakota.

Pitts, reelected.

Our Orator at LaMoure.

Besides getting double column pic
ture of himself in the LaMoure
Chronicle last week, Rev. J. Baker
received the following nice bouquet on
his address there on Memorial Day:
''Rev. j. Baker, of Oakes, then
delivered the address of the day.
Polished, scholarly, rich with effective
historical illusions, clothed in graceful
diction, enlivened with a wealth of
striking SMILES and forceful metaphors,
and delivered in pleasing, resonant
voice and with powerful feeling his
presentation was mastery effort.
In opening his remarks the speaker
drew vivid picture of the disbandng
Of the armies at the close of the civil
war; he pictured the desolation and the
heart sickness of the soldiers return
to the ruins of his home, with it's dis
NAL surroundings of wasted fields. The
speaker went on to eulogize the
veterans of the civil.war, and in beauti-
full and impressive language showed
the meaning and power of patrio tism.
We wish that space permitted US to
dwell more carefully upon this portion
of his address, for here he reached his
most climatic points, which met the
instant response and applause of the
audience. The speaker also quoted
some striking statistics on the ages of
enlistment and the numbers during the
civil war. At the age of 16 there were
S44,89l, while the number below q
was l,159,7 1913. At 81 years or over
there were 618,5l1 The world was
treated to the spectacle of seeing a
nation preserved by its youths. In
closing the speaker paid an eloquent
and inspiring, tribute to the nation Is
ship of state"

NORTHWEST

Tacoma, Dec. Southwest
Washington members of the legisla-
ture met with the Pierce county dele
cation this afternoon to consider a
plan for making the state into five
congressional districts. No vote was
taken, the problem merely being dis
cussed
Pierce, being the most populous
southwestern county, took the posi-
ton of not seeking to urge any GER
tain plan of apportioument. feeling
that Pierce would be, perhaps, an
unwelcome member of any district.
A plan was brought forward which
met with much approval. Under it
Seattle would form one congressional
district; Spokane Stevens, Douglas,
Chelan, Grant and one other county
another district all of the northwest
counties, including King outside of
Seattle, a third district; the Column
bia river counties and the extreme
southeast corner Of the state a fourth
district.
Thus would Pierce, Thurston, Ma
son, Lewis, Chehalis, Pacific and
Wahkiakum counties stand together,
with a population of 100000, about
the average. Some of the southwest
men favor this alignment and others
want some different arrangement.
None felt ready to declare himself
and the legislators agreed to take the
question up with their districts and
report later.

the purpose of drafting a constitu~
ton and bylaws of a permanent ma
tional independent political organiza-
ton, the platform of which shall be
advancement and progress.
Heated discussions were engaged
in by those present on the question
of whether purely local and state is
sues should be featured, or whether
questions of nationwide Importance
should be included in the propaganda
Of the new organization.
The majority favored the organiza-
ton of a new party entirely uniden-
tilted by title or politics with the ex-
listing republican. democratic, prohi-
bition or socialist parties, their plan
being to establish here the nucleus
Of a national party to be devoted en-
tirely to the interest of the people as
whole, as against legislation for
