Completion of May Term of Cour

The May term of our District Court
came to an end Wednesday after the
divorce case of Mary Schriefer vs..
Henry Schriefer had been tried, sub
mi:ted aad divorce granted the
plaintiff. The case of Brown County
against the Title Guaranty and Trust
Co. was settled out of Court, the
defendant paying the County $3.50. 90

imburse it for any and all damages
sustained by reason of the failure of
Cuddy & Cavanaugh to fulfill their
ditch contract.
The suit of Edw, Pearson against

Not in Sympathy With Special
Session of Legislature

The Executive Board of the Southern
Minnesota Better Development League
has gone on record as opposing the
special session of the legislature
which convened yesterday. They
assign nine reasons why, in their
opinion, the converting OF the legis-
lature at this time in special session
is both unwise and inexpedient.
Based on those nine reasons and
Others too numerous to mention they
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved that it is the sense of this
meeting that the legislators will best
subserve the interests of the state and
the people, when convened, by i'm
mediately adjourning the session
sine die, without transaction of any
business.
Resolved, further, that if such is
not possible, the legislature should
limit itself to the enactment OF the
primary election law and corrupt
practices act.

The Close of the School Year.

School closed Friday for the
Summer vacation. But little regular
work was attempted the last week
because everything had been
practically completed before the
exercises and exhibit were held May
23rd. In former years the exhibit
and the exercises we're separate events
but this year the teachers decided to
combine the two and thus get the
parents out in goodly numbers. The
plan was quite successful and nearly
all the grades report an increased
attendance at the exhibit over other
years. It ought MOTTO be true that
parents will visit school only when
they are promised entertainment but
such is often the case. The exhibits
IN themselves are worthy of the
earnest attention Of parents and all
interested in education. They COM
prise. samples of all the work done
thruout the year and parents ought
to be interested enough in that
subject to take the time, both mothers
and fathers, to see what is being
taught their girls and boys in school.
The exhibits contained work of the
children in every department Of
school endesvor. In the 9Th Grade

Although the law gives the Co.
Auditor until the 10Th of the month to
file his June settlement, this official
and the Co. Treasurer worked so
strenuously that they completed their
labors last night and the report of
their settlement goes forward to the
State Auditor today. It will, as
usual, be one Of the first reports to be

CLASS OF 1912 COMPLETES BlCH
SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises 4 Credit TO
the Graduates and
Faculty.

The graduating exercises of the
Glass of 1912 held at Turner Hall last
Thursday were most pleasing in every
detail. One particularly noticeable
feature was the lack of DESTINATIONS
display which so often mars such
occasions. This is not meant as
comparison with customs of former
classes of our schools because We do
not know what the custom has
been but the simplicity of decorations
and gowns and exercises was very
pleasing to all persons in the large
audience that greeted the young
people.
The only stage decorations were
green and white. A curtain made of
ferns swayed in the back ground of
tbs stage. On it in large figures was
the class year worked out in white
snow balls. It formed q cool, restful
sight for tired eyes. The front of the
stage was also banked with ferns and
the class motto Excelsior" was
swung high above the footlights. The
class with tea chers and the speaker of
the day occupied the center of the
stage. They carried no flowers and
neither flowers nor gifts were present
ed the graduates on the stage.
Parents and other relatives occu-
pied seats in the parquet while their
many friends filed the, rest of the
Auditorium.
The exercises we're opened by two
beautiful musical selections followed
by Miss Mabel Frederickson. Her
Salutatory was most pleasing and her
topic, "Do Dreams Come True'
pictured wildly the truth that the
great deeds of the world are the result
OF earnestly and faithfully believing
in the dreams, or ideals, that all
should have; believing in them and
striving to.make them 'come true".
Her talk led to the point that the
Glass of 1912 has its dreams that the
members hope to realize thru working
for their ideals. ...-.
The school is fortunate indeed in
the musical talent it possesses and we
do not mention these numbers of the
program individually because
there are not enough words in
our Vocabulary to express our appre-
citation of the pleasure afforded by the
exquisite selections rendered.
Miss Alma Schmidt had we'll writ
ten essay on sour National Songs"
which was very interesting. She
closed with the valedictory. Prof.
Hess then introduced President
Vincent who spoke rapidly and
on "Playing the
Came" His address was particularly
suited to the occasion and at no time
did he talk over the heads of the,
audience or the class. In general his
hearers we're we'll pleased altho his
rapidity of speech was criticised by
several IS detracting from the good
effect he would otherwise have pro-
duced.
He made comparison between the
sport and the sportsman" and
urged the class to 20 out into lite
to ''plsy the game" in the

The Democratic County Convention

airy Organization was later made per-
manent.
In assuming the important Office of
chairman of the convention, F. w.
johnson delivered q splendid and
we'll received address. His talk was
just humorous enough to keep every
one feeling good, and just serious
enough to have every one realize the
importance and gravity OF the politi-
cal situation at the present time and
for the fall campaign.

Arnold Hillesheim were appointed as

While discussing the methods TO be
employed in selecting Brown County's
quota to the state convention, Hans
Sigurdson suggested that it might be
we'll to determine the question of In
structing or not instructing the dele
gates and it was unanimously resolved
to send an uninstructed delegation.
Without any friction it was finally
decided to give New Ulm five dele-
gates; Sleepy Eye, two; SpriD gield,
two and the county at large. i've. For
the purpose of accomplishing this, the
delegates separated into csucuses and
selected. their delegates which action
was afterward ratified by the conven-
ton. The following were elected to
go as delegates to Duluth:

elected q member of the State Central

W q. Dempsey and Capt. Albert
Pfaender when called upon by Chair
man Johnson, delivered able addresses
in which they pointed out reasons why
the Democracy should be successful
in the fall election. W. r. Hodges
and Albert Steinhauser also addressed
the convention but very briefly. For
mer County Chairman P. Liesch of
the Republicans was given an oppor-
tunity to say the things he didn't get
chance to say at Springfield recently.
to Mr.. Liesch harmony is
sure fine thing and worth striving
for, is prevalent in an unusual degree
in the local Democracy, and alarm
ingly lacking in the Republican party
where We see only house divided
against itself. The convention ad-
journed about 5 O'Clock firmly resolved
to make this the banner year in Demo-

GAS the chosen representatives Of
the Democracy 81 Brown County, in
convention assembled, We take
pleasure II renewing our allegiance to
the Democratic party and reanRrming
the principles Of Thomas Jefferson in
which Democracy is founded.
1--WE regard with satisfaction, the
increased activity of the body polite
and the intense interest which the
people are taking in the present cam
paign, and attribute this awakening
to the failure of the Republican party
to redeem its platform promises,
especially the promise to relieve the
common people Of the burden of OK.
cessive tariff duties. We regard the
record Of the Republican party for
the last four years, especially, as q
record Of broken pledges, as q be.
traya of the masses for the benefit OF
favored interests. q record So pro.
nounced that two years ago, at the
first opportunity given it, an out.
ragged citizenship placed in power in
the lower house of Congress, the Re-
personalities of the Democratic party.
pledged to right the wrongs SO long
endured.
1--WE point with pride to the record
of Democratic House of Representa-
tives as one of faith kept with the
people. Long delayed reforms have
been inaugurated, most prominent
among them q material reduction of
tariff duties to the benefit of the con-
sumner, the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people,
an extension CT the income tax,
measure in the interest to fair play to
Labor, and others of almost equal
Importance, some of them only to be
set at naught by an executive veto.
1--WE view with satisfaction the
acceptance by so many independent
republicans Of the reforms advocated
by the Democratic party, which the
Republicans have not only fought,
but actually ridiculed in the past,
among which are the initiative, refer
endum and recall, tariff reduction,
income tax amendment to the Consti-
tuition, popular election of United
Senators and publicity of campaign
contributions and expenditures, but
we resent the subterfuge of the Repub-
lican politicians in exploiting these
reforms merely for vote catching pur-
poses, only to turn their backs upon
them after election.
"We agree with Theodore Roose-
welt, when,, on the evening of the last
election, he said, 'The
wise custom that limits the President
to two terms regards the substance.
and not the form, and under no cir
will I be candidate for
another nomination" And We fur
her agree with him when he stated
th at to nominate him again would be
. public calamity.
1--WE are treated 1t the present time
70 the pitlful spectacle Of . tRepubli-
IAN President, and Republican Ex-
President engaging In offensive per-
'onalities on the stump, to such IN
extent that neither of them can here
Ifter properly occupy that high posi-
ion with the dignity % necessary In

'uished Representative in Congress,
