When the diploma is earned and
comes to hand tied in its ribbon what
are the graduates going to do then,
poor things? Sit at home and keep
themselves warm and hide their heads
under their wings, poor things?
There is usually a lot Of talk going
about how hard these graduates have
worked and Of the long struggle they
have conducted to the end of honorable
discharge by the superintendent and
the school board under the eyes Of the
admiring populace. 1t isn't all gush for
the student who has come to gradua-
ton has done a lot Of good honest
work and there have been symptoms of
struggle now and then. But the hon
est fact is that they have had almost
the best time of their lives so far as
hard work and lack of individual re-
eponsibility is concerned. Looking
back on the high school period after
many years it will seem to have been
one continuous stretch of unalloyed
enjoyment
But. strange as It may seem, there
isn't as much real enjoyment in school
life or in any other period as there is
in hard work which carries individual
responsibility. In school time the stu
dent is material being worked into
shape. In the later days il the grad
uate gets into the game right he is
working with the material himself,
bossing the job, turning out the pro-
duct and finding it good. There is Moth

cu.MINs-1He ONE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

The failure of the committee to
carry Missouri off bodily into the Taft
column has put decided crimp in the
Taft program. The case proved alto
gether too plain for the majority OF the
membership of the committee to stom-
ach. Taft leaders fell down. The COM
mittee as a majority baked at the open
outrage suggested and refused to COM
whole country. SO Roosevelt he'd the
majority of Missouri delegates as was
right and proper.
With the committee made up as it Is,
OF Taft managers. OF leaders repudiated
in their own states by their party. OF
Penroses and Cranes and their ilk. of
members from states which never gave
a republican majority and never will
of members who misrepresent the will
of the party in their states which has
been made evident and unmistakable
by the vote Of the party in primary,
when a majority committee thus con-
stituted balks and to degree, disinte-
crates the conclusion is that they have
seen the hopelessness of the cause they
are attempting to further and are be-
ginning to remember that they must go
back home to live.
But it is up to the convention to
save the party from serious rupture
and predicate victory in November.
Roosevelt stock rose on the Missouri
decision. but neither Roosevelt
nor Taft should be nominated
from view point OF party
success and in hope of harmon
both men have rendered themselves
unavailable IN the furious contest they
and their supporters have waged over
the nomination. If Theodore Roose-
welt will lend his strength TO the nom
ination OF a progressive like Cummins
he will have re-established himself as
the man people have believed him 10
be, guardian Of the country and Moses
of the party; n President Taft desires
to leave the presidency with a latest
action which would go far to remove
the distaste which his administration
mas engendered in the public he could
90 no better than to lend his aid TO
the same purpose
The fact is that Curnins is today
the best hope Of the party. His candi-
6acy has the true appeal. his record is
the record which the popular vote is
overcome. no bitter personal feuds to
finish. Among the candidates now I'M
der first consideration he stands head
and shoulders high on his personal
and political record. II is one Of high
service given always at personal sac
rifice. Behind him is clean life. per-
sonal and public. He is al the apex
of his splendid powers and Of his great
possibilities Of public service He is
judgmatical. sincere. strong and with
out the spirit Of revengefulness which
uses success as weapon Of reprtsal.
He is the one logical candidate before
the coming convention.
Nominate Cummtns and the party
will win In November and the winning
will not stop at the polls. If Albert 3.
Cumn1inS shall be nominated and
elected president Of the United States
his administration would be among the
greatest and most judicially statesman
