New York, June f.--Governor John
A. Dix has put himself on record as
an advocate of home rule for cities.
In an address TO the mayors and other
municipal officials OF New York state
assembled in Poughkeepsie in their
second annual convention the governor
spoke as follows
THE time has come when the cities
should demand that instead of being
governed as subject provinces they be
endowed with powers of government
as complete and efficient as those
vested i'm the state and nation by the
state and federal constitutions. We
have Incompetence I'm city councils,
police forces that are demoralized,
city departments and bureaus that are
inefficient. How can II be otherwise
than that n the city is treated as a
dependency to be controlled and gov
erned in it's vital affairs 10y an Out
side lawmaking body which can pos
sess no knowledge Of it3 needs and is
absolutely regardless of its rights and
interests?
If home rule ana local self govern
ment were fully ana permanently es-
tablished mistakes would doubtless be
made I'm city government, but they
would be made by the people them
selves and correction would quickly
follow. The state should permit ev-
cry city within its boundaries to be
self governing community"

Sincerity IN this world Is like gdlt
among savages, who barter treasur,
for glass beads. '1is a costly quality
but not current money.
"That quality of mind which means
absolute honesty in all actions and
speech, is called sincerity TO be sin.
cere in action Is to be honest in all
things, to do as we pretend and pro-
fess and to perform what we promise
Sincerity. the basis of every virtue
is the backbone of character. it ex.
lists in. widely different degrees, from
comparatively common virtue to the
highest spiritual excellence. 1t is thu
measure of true worth. The shortest
and surest way to live with honor in
this world is to be in reality what we
appear to be. Let us then be what we
are. and speak what We think, and IN
all things keep ourselves loyal to
truth, TO be rather than to SEEM"
Miss Helen Susnnnah Horn.
The last of the class to deliver her
Grafton entitled Pioneer Heroism," !"
was Helen Susannah Horn. Miss Horn
manifested much ability both i'm the
composition work and delivery Of her
Grafton. She said:
"when we build let us think that
we build forever. Let IL not be for the
present delight, nor for the present
use alone. let IL be such work as our
descendants will thank us for and let
us think, as we lay stone on stone.
that time is 10 come when those
stones win be held sacred because our
hands have touched them and that
men viii say as they look upon our
labor: See! This, our fathers did fof
u.s." Miss Horn gave several illustra-
| tions concerning the hardships and
hazardous tasks through which the
pioneers passed, in order to make our
country what It is today.
Her closing thoughts were as fol
lows: Consider the great opportun-
ities which today are thrown open to
u.s. Think of the Victories which the
pioneer won iu spite Of handicaps, be
cause he desired to uplift mankind
and was not afraid of doing more
than his share. We may not each
become the pioneer of a world wide
movement, but the qualities of the
pioneer developed In our lives will
help us to be of more use to human
ity right here i'm Prospect, for no man
Is born into the world whose work is
not born with him; there is always
work and tools to work with for those
who Will"
The eight young ladies delivered
their orations with perfect ease. The
one gentleman, Mr.. Dale Toms, de.
livered his Grafton with no little abil.
ity. showing that he is well qualified
for public appearances.
The music for the occasion was
furnished by the Prospect orchestra
and the o. w. U. quartet Following
the final number of the quartet, Prof
Barker Of the Prospect High school
delivered a very able address and ir
choice words conferred the degree oi

After the Invocation by Rev. Wood
worth, Ruth Isola Hecker delivered
her Grafton entitled Beauty Factor
in Life" She said in part:
THE life that would be complete
and sane as well as strong must be
ornamented, softened and enriched 10y
a love of the beautiful. The highest
beauty Is within reach of all. This is
made possible by holding in mind the
thought of heart beauty, ana by a
cultivation Of a spirit of kindness, un-
selhshness. The desire TO be beautl-
ful I'm character can not fail to make
the life beautiful. Since the outward
is but an expression of the inward we
must purify the inner life. For the
beautiful life, the life worth While'
is only a reflection of self
I'VE admire the beautiful face but
we love the face illumined by pure
soul. The love OF beauty that con-
fines itself to mere external form
misses all. 1t is the indwelling spirit,
the ideal in the soul that makes All
things beautiful, that inspires and lifts
us to the beautiful"

"The real American is an object OF

He is regarded as the product of the

In closing. Miss Issler said; ''rhe

Therefore, the highest aim oi reu
