other persons accept or reject them
but the paramount duty of good citl-

Mr.. Post then went into a very care
full explanation of the workings of
these principles in actual practice, and
devoted some time in explaining the
socialist tendencies of the times. His
concluding remarks were given direct

1912 class
Following his address, was another
selection by the orchestra. Then came
the comforting of the degrees upon AZ

upon four. The degrees given were
to the following students:

they owed This naturally caused a
condition of political unrest, and a
tendency to accept any doctrine which
was plausibly presented as a cure for
the existing evil. The cure suggested
and which met with the approval of
large numbers of our citizens, was the
unrestricted free coinage of silver.
After a very strenuous contest, that
doctrine was rejected at the polls in
November, 1896.
"In 1896 the remedy suggested for
what is commonly called hard times
was legislation and that legislation
was to change our money system so
as to provide for the double standard
and the unrestricted coinage of silver.
In 1912 the remedy frequently sug-
gested by some of the people who
have faith in legislation, as method
of curing financial evils, is the chang
ing of the basic principles underlying
our form of government as establish
ed by the Fathers. In other words,
it is the changing of our government
from republic or representative
democracy to direct or pure dem
ocracy.
81 do not purpose to discuss wheth-
er or not this proposed remedy will
cure or whether or not it is worse
than the disease, but to call your es-
pecial attention to exactly what this
proposed remedy means, because / be-
lieve it to be of the highest import
ance that the men and women of this
country shall do much calm, deliberate
and dispassionate thinking concerning
the political problems of the day, and
the correct solution thereof.
"The cures suggested by number
of people of ability and prominence in
this country for the political dis
eases which at present are complain
ed of most, are called the initiative,
recall and perhaps di-
rect election of United States sena-
tors. These doctrines are pronounc-

The University of Idaho commence
ment exercises were held this fore
noon in the, university gymnasium,
commencing at 1920 o'clock. The
faculty and members of the graduating
class met in Lewis hall at 10 o'clock
and formed in line. The original plans
were that the line of march was to
start from Ridenbaugh hall, but on
account of the rain, Lewis hall was
selected as a substitute meeting place.
To the strains of a march by the
college orchestra, the faculty and
graduates marched into the gymnas-
ium from Lewis hall, President James
A. MacLean and the speaker of the
day, Hon. Frank T. Post of Spokane,
leading the line The first number on
the program was selection by the
orchestra, "Serenata," by Moszkow-
sky. Invocation was given by Rev.
David H. Hare of the Presbyterian
church of Moscow. Following the in
vocation, Professor E. Hellier-Collens
rendered "Traum der Sennerin," by
in his masterful style.
President James A. Mclean then in
troduced the speaker of the day, Hon.
Frank T. Post of Spokane, who deliv-
cred a careful and well-considered
address Mr.. Posts
address showed tendencies of his pro-
fession, that of a lawyer, and it was
closely followed by the audience: He
said in part:

\, The greatest step forward that Mos
! .oW has ever made was accomplished
yesterday when by vote of 619 for
to 277 against, the taxpayers of this
city determined to improve by pay
ing. No choice of paving was signified
in the ballot, and that, by an act OF
the city council will be left to the
choice of the council, under compet-
tive bids, and assisted by commit
tee of the business men who are most
vitality interested
There was a majority for paving in
every ward, although there was only
one ward, the First, in which the ne
cessary two-thirds majority was Sc
cured. In this ward not only the two
thirds was secured, but the vote for
paving carried with majority suffl-
cient to carry the entire town, and
leave IS votes over.
While there was a majority OF 65
in favor of the paving, still, under the
two-thirds rule, had 23 votes less
been cast in favor of paving the prop
osition would have been lost. In short,
while of the taxpayers there was
plurality of 342 in favor of the i'm
provement, had 20 Of those votes been

one of the most interesting of the day
He showed the remarkable progress
being made by this department in
several lines, calling particular at

ment
Dean o. E. McCutcheon of the law
college, was next. He gave sum-
mary of the work of the year, and
showed what one of the youngest de-

the space of three years. Nine grad

Professor Shattuck of the forestry

a forestry building erected on the

Miss Permeal French, dean of wom

just nine.
Men, women and even children took
an active part in the campaign. There
were women workers at the polls
throughout the day. The children,
organizing the mosquito fleet" carried
on their bicycles paving literature,
and spread the hopeful news broadcast.
Never has the city seen greater ex-
element on a local issue. From the
time the polls closed they were sur
rounded by great crowds, and as fast
as the news was received the crowds
cheered, for in every precinct the vote
came out better than the majority o
the people expected.
THE official result was:
First Ward, for 292, against 9O
Second Ward, for 116, against 72.
Third Ward for 211, against 115.
AS soon as it was known that the
paving proposition had carried the
crowd organized an impromptu cele-
bration Fire crackers and sky
rockets were touched off, and for the
better part of an hour pandemonium
reigned. The city of Moscow was
happy. It's citizens rejoiced that it
had determined to make good.
