convict SLASHES
GUARD With knife
CASS COUNTY NEGRO MANAGES
TO CONCEAL WEAPON.
Deputy Gray and Guard Mason ser.
ousIy Injured Before the Man is
Finally Subdued.

While being reprimanded by Deputy
Warden Gray yesterday afternoon a
burly negro convict named Simpson
serving twenty-year sentence on the
charge of murder, from Cass county,
suddenly pulled out razor edged
knife winch he had concealed in his
clothes and slashed him repeatedly on
the arm and side. Guard Mason was
with the deputy and at once grappled
with the man, receiving a deep cash
under the arm. Another guard, Mr..
Thomas. saw that something was
wrong and ran to the rescue. The
negro held them at bay for a moment,
however, until the deputy picked up
long club and forced him to drop
the weapon.
Simpson was working out in the
yard when Deputy Gary had occasion
to reprimand him for something he
had done. The negro continued to
act in an uncalled-for manner and
Mr.. Gray started to take him to the
cell house when the fight occurred.
The negro is supposed to have
picked uD the knife, which had been
sharpened to a razor-like edge, in the
tool shop a few minutes before, as
that is the only way in which he could
have obtained it.
The clothes of all three of the
officers were slashed to ribbons by
the keen blade. and it was necessary
to take several stitches in the wounds
of Deputy Gray and Moore. which
were very deep.

wrestling matches, bowl breaking
contests and other youthful eXer-

of Sundays League games were:

The Makaweli team showed up
strong and played safe, making
less errors than on any occasion
since the beginning of the series.
Toward the end of the game, how
ever, they slackened up bit, tax
ing on sort of all apologetic mood,
which was instantly reflected upon
the opposing team, after which
there was not much life left in the
game. Good batting, however,
upon the part of the Makaweli's s,
saved the game from becoming an
altogether sleepy one. The Ma

Today's celebration II Lihue
was a tremendous SUCCESS in every
way, and never before has Kauai
had such an entirely satisfactory
and delightfully."- interesting day of
sports. Over four thousand people
representing nearly all parts of the
island, enthusiastically cheered on
their favorites and enjoyed them
selves meanwhile. The grand
stand was full to overflowing and
lines of autos held crowds of in
terested spectators. AS the sports
shifted to various parts of t h e
grounds the crowd left their places
to follow.
Kodaks were in evidence every
where and no doubt some very
pretty pictures were taken.
In the 50 yd. dash J. Fernandes
of Lihue carried off the first prize
in 5 is seconds. His place was
hotly contested for by Willie Coney
who came in second,
In the Broad Jump a record was
made by K. c. Hopper of 9 #. 4

INDEPENDENCE DAY
OBSERVED IN
WA|MEA

WAIMEA, July 4.-Nearly two
thousand people gathered here to-
day to participate in the cele
bration of the Fourth of July pro-
gram, which was by far the most
elaborate i'll the history of Waimea.
Special trains conveyed the people
from the outlying plantations.
People began arriving before day
light and by nine o clock, all public
thoroughfares were literally
strewn with happy patriots. The
contestants were eager for combat,
and no sooner had the program
been announced as in action, than
there seemed to begin so many in
teresting features that it was prac-
tically impossible to see everything
at once.
One of the leading features of
the day was the ball game between
the Port Aliens and home team,
the visitors coming out victorious,
The prize in this contest being a
gift of twenty five dollars worth
of athletic shoes. The tug of war
contest was won b y the husky
home blacksmith team. Fernan-
des and Costa tied for first honors
in the hundred yards dash, the
judges deciding the race by spli =
ting the purse. The first prize for
the obstacle race was awarded to
Keola Makina. The mule race,
which surpassed anything OH the
program for real merriment, was
won by Robert Malama S fiery steed
in record breaking time. Joe Cos
ia bagged the sack race prize, while
Robert Malama slipped the hooks
into the slippery swine. Arthur
Hunt, Jr., made a dive for the
swimming pennant, and won out
by several fathoms. Keola Makina
won first prize in second swim
ming contest.
There were numerous other eX-
ceedingly pleasing and very inter
esting numbers on the program, OF
which, unfortunately, we are un-
able to mention with any degree OF
accuracy, but this much we car
say, however, without fear of con,
tradiction, that never in the history
of Waimea has its people more
thoroughly enjoyed days sport
Many expressions of apprecia
ton and admiration have beer
heard concerning the highly salts
factory manner in which thC
various committees directed sucl
a gigantic affair.

The ring t,lting tournament,
under the direction Of Hon, Chas.

features on the program, there be-

Look for the Spear!

our obligations, no responsibility, no
obligation is more large, more COM
handing or more significant than the
responsibility Of proving higher edu-
cation worthy Of its place, than the
obligation we owe the system Of de-
velopment which has lighted for our
gaze and for our steys a path to gold
en- opportunity. Upon us and upon
those who follow in tha paths we
trod, the system Of college education
will depend for its justification.
We sometimes conjure with word
and think that the name University"
proves the institution worthy. Yet it
is not so. The colleges are on trial
They are not yet the accepted insti-
tuition that they must ultimately be if
higher education is to be- the bulwork
of nation. To be sure, men Of Gull
ture, men who think, are wont to
support the universities of the land.
But the great mass, the great common
humanity that is not found among the
"aristocrats Of intellect" has also
hand in guiding the courses of educa-
ton.
Higher education must prove itself
to world of common men. Higher
education must disprove the words of
those who say that college units for
business, units for a world of prac-
tical affairs. It must disprove the
words Of those who claim the COL
leges are naught but theoretical teach
ers who turn out men who know not
how to concentrate on the problems
of an actual activity. Not because
higher education is eager for praise
and the laudation of a crowd, but be-
cause to be successful it must hold
the faith Of a great virile mast, higher
who sneer when they see the college
athlete, the college scholar, the COL
lege orator, who for four long years
has "hitched his wagon to star" on
~ to find on graduation that his
"star" has led him to a common task
with common laborers, task he does
not want and will not take until an
iron fate informs him that stars and
comets are after all the same stuff as
the earth. Higher education must yet
prove itself to men. 1t must draw
men unto itself who now are left be-
hind by the eager followers of Gull
ture that does not always think of
men. 1t must draw to itself not
merely the few who shall be leaders
among men, but the great numbers of
human beings whose qualities of self
leadeEships, whose ability to stand
alone as units in a commonwealth
will never be discovered until the
ideals of the college can inspire their
hearts. There are millions who need
the higher education. There are mil
lions whom higher education must
touch IL she would thrive. Has the
college graduate an obligation?
Need of An Ideal.
We who today. because of our
commencement" appreciate as wa
never before appreciated. the obliga-
ton of the college, student, know the
basic principle of our responsibility.
We realize today that the funda-
mental note of every practical chord
a college strikes is based upon the
great ideal. A college that trains not
men to look upward. to look onward,
70 not worthy Of its task. Men who
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-06-12

would be real men must build their
future occupation shall be building
woodsheds on the earth. They must
hope for opportunity. They must
long for success. Their ideal must
not be that of the. idle dreams but the
ideal of the man who lives. They
must remain human when their in
tellects roam through areas that are
divine. They must know the, demands
of world Of men, men who have
passions. hopes and fears. ignorance
and misdirected energy; they must
know all these, having the advant-
age over ignorant men through the
knowledge that beneath the practical
! that changes them is a grand ideal
that is eternal.
If the college gives to the men and
women who graduate, if those men
and women accept for themselves the
ideals that lead men onward, they
shall in the words of Kipl;ng, walk
with kings nor love the common
touch" This, after all, is said and
done, is the offset of education. This
will justify the colleges of a nation.
If. there are men who are taught to
see things as they are, not as they
sometimes seem to be, there will be
men who have convictions and who
dare to stand upon them. If there
are men who are taught to see things
as they are, those men will also real
ize that all the culture and all the,
polish that the four walls of a school
can give do not make different clay,
ho hNV tho%
is theirs. They are the kings of rea-
son, the men of ideals, of convictions
and of strength, who yet know the
common laborer of the street, who
claim no high position because of Gull
ture. If the college gives to it's
graduates, to its students there two
traits, the individuals strength and
the common interest, the college
graduate will prove the merit of his
college course.
Courage Of Conviction.
In his book college and The Man."
David Starr Jordon has said: "The
educated man has the courage of his
convictions because the educated man
only has any real convictions. What
he believes he takes on his own au-
thority, not because it is in the news
papers he reads, in the creed of his
church, or in the platforms of his
party. He counts as a unit in his
community
Perhaps one thinks to find among
the graduates of colleges only men
and women who think, who seq clear
ly and who dare to he individuals, to
stand alone. Yet too often is that be-
lief mistaken. Too often do the
graduates who are the living witness
es for higher education forget the
philosophy which shows things as
they are, too often do they forget the
right of every man to think. They
dare not call fact fact, if another
calls it "falsehood" The one thing
above ought else we need in politics
and in life is an individual, a man
who is unit. who leads, who stands
on the ideals that college course
can give. Let the college send out it's
Roosevelts and its LaFollettes of
greater or Of lesser scale and it shall
prove Its value to the farthest ends
