COMMENCEMENT DAYS
in PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Should Be Something More Than
An Exhibition OF Beautiful
Boquets And Expensive
Gowns.

Commencement day is at hand. Ev-
erywhere in every town OF greater or
smaller size the graduating class is in
preparation for the first real event of
their lives. Next TO the birth of these
young people graduation day is the
most important function in which they
have played a principal part and ones
first birthday is of less interest to him
self than TO others.
Graduation is a marvellous day. the
wide-open gate of opportunity and an
emancipation. Naturally and newt
ably the desire is to make it great
and memorable time for those who are
the cause and center of its celebration.
The test of successful commence
ment is the test of the public school
democracy. 1t is a common celebration
and common days which persons enjoy
in common, which celebrate common
privilege and a common victory are the
greatest of all days. Commencement
belongs to all the schools to all the par
ents of all the children as well as to
those who are to be graduated and
their parents.
And so into commencement week
should never be permitted to creep or
be carried any unearned distinguish
ment or distinction. The thought and
desire should be to keep to simplicity
in dress, in expenditure of all kinds. in
every exercise or function appertaining
to commencement week. 1t is to be
greatly regretted that an opposite
tendency exists and the operation of
this tendency should be sternly re-
pressed everywhere by school boards.
1t is public duty and safeguard to
the usefulness of the public school.
Marshalltown long ago adopted the
cap and gown, thus abolishing' the
graduation gown" evil Other cities
and towns have followed her example.
Des Moines has this year forbidden
flowers. The tendency of sensible
school boards is toward simplicity and
democracy in the schools.
1t is not complimentary to us as a
people that school boards should find
it necessary to repress snobbery by the
enactment of rules We ought to know
better and do the right thing without
force. The Impulse which sends girls
overdressed to school and to com
mencement which vies in the quantity
and cost of banquets and tags distinc-
ton with price mark has its root in
ignorance and snobbery. Let's quit it
in Iowa. Exchange.

SENATOR KENYON IS
NOT AN INSURGENT.
According To His Own Statement
Concerning His Vote On
Selection OF Committees,

While Senator Kenyon voted to place
LaFollette and Bristow ON certain COM
mittees, he declares it was not because
they were progressives but because they
are from the middle west. Senator
Kenyon says in an interview:
1T was my judgement that Senator
La Toilette should be on the interstate
committee and that another western
man should be on the finance committee.
Hence, in the caucus / voted for Sena-
tors La Toilette and Bristow, respec-
lively, for these committees.
did not so VOTE however. on any
theory that these men represented any
group, for l am not a believer in the
doctrine that any group is entitled to
representation as such. voted for
them as question of principle and had
the matter gone to the floor of the SEN
ate should have voted for Senator La
Toilette as an additional member of the
committee on interstate commerce.
Four men his junior in service were
placed on that committee. He has
stood for many years as an exponent OF
strict federal control of railroads and
railroad rates, and has been pioneer
in that struggle.
l urged some of the leading senators
to place Senator La Toilette on this
committee, not only for the sake of
what he stood for, but because of the
fact that by seniority he was entitled
to the place on the committee. II was
in no respect question of the repre-
sentation of the group. My vote was
cast in the caucus for Senator Bristow
for membership on the finance com
mittee for the reason that l wanted
to wee more western men on this inn
portant committee dealing as it does
with all tariff questions. There were
other men, however, senior to Senator
Bristow in service and the same reasons
would not apply to him as applied to
Senator La Toilette. / should have
abided by the decision of the caucus as
to help him. The statement filed by
Senator La Toilette was signed, as I
understand, by the minority of the re-
publicans on the committee on commit
tees-four members. was not one Of
the signers.
There is no reason why that number
of men within party should be entitl-
ed to recognition as a particular group.
My vote was not cast with that idea in
mind, and never will be, but my con-
viction is firm that the interests of the
middle west would have been better
cared for in matters of railroad regula-
ton and the great question of dealing
with corporation control by having
such men as Senator La Toilette on
that important committee.

the Convention hall where he made q
brief address somewhat as follows:
He said that the democratic party. in
passing the Wilson bill, nearly killed
their patient, Uncle Sam, and that now
the party was engaged in preparing
another dose which it expected to ad-
minister in smaller doses with the hope
of recovery Some say we have fallen
upon evil times and object to hearing
the words ''standpatter and progressive. !"
These words have no terror for me-
When it comes to question of protect
ing our people and our products from q
foreign country we all are standpatters
When it comes to question of whether
we shall employ the best talent, the best
minds and the best modern thought,
then who is there who would lag behind
who would say we are not all progress
siye?',
Judge Green said he had always been
slightly opposed to all forms of trusts
and monopolies, but that he never be-
lieved he should reach them by tinkering
with the tariff. He said the party al
ways had been. and always would be,
progressive, and he referred to the Sher-
man antitrust and other national laws
asl product of the party. He referred
to the short time allotted for the cam
paign, and asked that every assistance
be rendered until June 5, the day of
election.
RESOLUTION BY CONVENTION.
We oppose the proposed Canadian
reciprocity treaty as being detrimental
to the farming interests of the country,
and we pledge the nominee of this con-
vention to oppose the adoption of said
reciprocity measure and urge our United
States senators to use their influence
and all honorable means to prevent the
passage of said measure. We denounce
the proposed free list of the democratic
house of representatives as a measure
injurious to the interests of American
industry and dangerous to farm and shop

Miss Stearns Has Runaway.

Last Friday evening Miss Ella Stearns
while driving north of town had another
runaway making two for her within a
month and she says she is getting used
to them now. Miss Eta Kennels was
with her. The first trouble occurred
when the tug broke loose from the
hame, Miss Stearns held onto the team
and Miss Kennels jumped out and
caught them by the heads stopping
them. While driving down the steep
hill near the Chas Taylor place clip
came off the single tree and the horses
became frightened, running at two
forty gait. Miss Stearns holding on for
dear life and finally guiding them into
a bank. The buggy was badly broken
and the horses ran on to Ross. The
both ladies escaped injury which is very
fortunate

Sarah Bernhardt In Des Moines.

Sarah Bernhard. who is now con-
Guiding her seventh and last visit to
the United States, in the course of
which she will play at the Coliseum in
Dies Moines on May 25th, is in her sixty
seventh year, but her wonderful powers
are undimmed. She remains the great
est actress in the world, wonderful for
the way in which she preserves her
youth as well as for her remarkable
physical vigor and dramatic power. To
all appearances Bernhardt is as young
to-day as she was forty years ago. A
recent magazine writer says: There
isn't crease or furrow on Sarah
Burnhardt's brow. The eyes, deep set,
almost almond shaped, have, as ever,
that Enthusiastically oriental Hebraic APP
pearance. They have not lost one scin-
tilla of their pristine luster There is
not trace of age in the lines of her
mouth or in the contour of those deli
cate and sensitive nostrils. And Bern
hardt's hands are as marvelously hui
manly eloquent as ever"
