RED LETTER DAY FOR DENISoN

symbol. He pointed out to member
of the Masonic order and to the PEG
pie generally the importance of hav
ing their lives squared and perfected
to meet the requirements of the bibl'
which he fully endorsed. His address
was on a high moral plane and par
took somewhat of the nature of ser
mon and yet everyone felt that nj:
utterances we're prompted by sincere
convictions and the impression made
by his address was of such character
that nothing but the best of result:
could follow and when he finished
everyone felt that his talk was toe
short and would have been glad tC
have heard him longer. We thorough
ly believe that on secular occasions
such as this that great good may come
from an address pointing out higher
moral life for all and urging the peo
pie to lead good lives when the speak
er himself is a man of clean life and
exalted ambitions. If the advice which
the speaker gave should be followed
out by those who heard him their
lives will certainly be lifted up to a
high plane of morality.
After his address the choir rendered
a selection and following this an adj
dress was delivered by ]. P. Conner,
who congratulated the people of Deni-
son upon the splendid building in pro-
cess of erection. He pointed out the
requirements for a city to secure a
public building. That it required a
showing of sufficient population and
gross receipts of the postoffice large
enough to put it in the class of cities
entitled to public buildings. Denison
has met the requirements, he said, al
though there are a number present
who will remember the time when
we hardly aspired to claim public
building. He pointed out that the de-
velopment of the city had come
through the efforts and Sacrifices of our
citizens and that it was source for
congratulation that we are now in the
class of cities entitled to public
building. He urged that it meant
great deal to the city and that it
should have an inspiring influence on
the citizens, that it should increase
their respect for the government and
inspire them with loftier patriotism
when looking upon the building and
the flag of our country floating over it..
Mr.. Carl F. Kuehnle closed the speak
ing of the day in an address replete
with classical quotations and logical
deductions, which had a pleasing ef-
feet upon the audience. He pointed
out many things that are necessary to
be observed in order to build up indi-
vidual character and a high civiliza-
ton in a community. He deprecated
the reports that our colleges are
turning out men who are materialists
and infidels and cited instances to
disprove the correctness of such re-
ports, and asserted that the moral
standard of our colleges is advancing
rather than receding. He, too, ad-
vocated people living pure and virtu-
Gus lives and seeking a higher educa-
ton. He urged that our young men
should become college graduates, but
if such opportunities are not offered,
that every man should make the most
of his opportunities, whether a col
lege graduate or not, because many
men who are not college graduates
have won distinction and success in
life. He committed himself in favor
of woman suffrage and predicted that
it would be but short time until WON
en- would enjoy the right to vote.
The program as a whole was appar
emily highly appreciated and those il
attendance from other places where
it had been their privilege to witness
the laying of corner stone said tha
Denison took first rank in the compar
ison. We cannot refrain from agar
referring to the perfect manner il
which the program was carried ou
by those who had it in charge ant

to carry it out we must repeat that j

to those who participated in the cere
