AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS
DISASTER NARROWLY AVERTED
Puff cf Smoke Starts Panic That
Might Easily Have Ended
Seriously

The commencement exercises of
the Ladysmith highschool, held at the
opera house last evening were
marred by an incident that might
very easily have assumed the proper
tons of disaster such as has
brought sorrow to many a city i'll
the past.
A flue stop had been left off when
q stove connected with the chimney
on the front and right hand side of
the hall had been taken down. Some
one threw a little rubbish into the
furnace in the basement and set fire
to it and shortly a stray wisp Of
smoke entered the opera house
through the open flue. Someone in
the gallery called out "fire!" and III
that instant pandemonium broke
loose. a mad rush was made for the
stairway leading out doors. Fully a
third of the audience lost their heads
completely and acted like a flock of
sheep, rushing frantically out of the
hall, despite the many shouts OF "Sit
down; it's all right" Apparently they
kept right on going, for they did
not re-enter the hall. Fortunately,
the panic was quelled before anyone
Was injured, but had it gotten much
more of start there is no doubt
but that the consequences would
have been serious. Let our people
take heed from the lesson.
Dr. Euclid B. Rogers, of Spring
field, H., who delivered the com
mencement address, had the close at
tention of his hearers, although it
took some time for the audience to
get quieted down after the incident
above referred tc. His theme was;
s'The End of Education Not a Living
but a Life" The topic was handled
in mastery fashion and his address
was replete with eloquence although
pressed his message indelibly on the
minds of his auditors. 1t took no eff
fort to follow him to any of the con-
clusions he drew. His address was
spiced with wit, though with many
a touch of pathos, that reached his
auditors hearts.
Solos by Miss Provost and piano
solos by Miss Rose Kaufman We're

Presentation of diplomas was made
by w. E. Thompson, of the school
board.
The invocation was by Rev. c. Fl.

nounced the benedictiOn.
The program was opened and
closed with selections by the high
school orchestra, which were very
creditable to that organization.

Every great crisis in our coun-
trys history has been passed, and
the issue that produced it has been
settled by the arbitrament of war.
At fearful sacrifice of what they per-

and patriotic women have thus
shielded and upheld the state.
only a few days ago at Vera
Cruz the last full tribute of devo-
ton was paid by the heroic dead
for whom the nation still deeply
mourns For them and for their count
less compeers in every war in which
our country has been engaged graf
itude blossoms today in the heart of
every true American.
I'm harmony with this universal
sentiment, and in conformity with
commendable usage, l Francis e.
McGovern, governor of the state of
Wisconsin, hereby designate Satur-
day, the thirtieth day of May, 1914,
as Memorial day, and I recommend
that on that day all the people of

our deceased soldiers and sailors.
CAS- usual, let the children take a
prominent part in these ceremonies
by making the resting places of our
honored dead beautiful with the buds
and blossoms of springtime.

MAKES THEM MAD

A serious break in the hitherto
friendly relations of President Will
/ :. end the Grand Army of the Re-
public is impending.
The disclosure that the president
declined this year, as he did last
year, to attend the Memorial day ex-
ercises in Arlington cemetery, al
though he accepted an invitation to
deliver an address at the unveiling
of the monument to the Confederate
dead at the same place five days la
ter, has stirred up much resentment
among officers and members of the
union organization.
DIR. j. K Gleeson, commander OF
the Department Of the Potomac OF
the G. A. R., received the declina-
ton of the president to attend the
Memorial day exercises at Arlington
When he learned that Mr.. Wilson had
accepted the invitation to speak at
the unveiling of tie Confederate mon
ument at Arlington, June 4, next
he was indignant. He said he would
not attend the Confederate affair
and would endeavor to induce Wash
ington Gardner, commander in chief
of the G.. A. R., to withdraw his ac-
ceptance of an invitation to speak al
the meeting.
Mr.. Wilson is said to be the only
president who has declined to at
tend Memorial services for the I'm
ion dead at Arlington, and his course
We think, will be universally regret
ted, throughout the north at least
Not so much because of his absence
personally, as because his declina
ton of the courteous invitation that
was extended him shows that he
does not wish to be there. Airing
ton is only a few Winutes ride from
the White House and to attend the
exercises need not necessarily occupy
more than two hours of his time
Surely the president, even though
his father did serve in the Confed
crate army, ought to be willing to
spend that much of his time to pay
homage to the dead of an army OF
brave men who met and, after one
of the greatest struggles of modern
times, finally overcame another ar.
