He charged, sprung like an arrow

plomas to the Class Of 1914
Butler High School.


I wish to assure you that it af-
fords me especial pleasure to
perform the part that has been
given me in this, the greatest
event to you, up to this time, and
one that will take prominent
place in your life no matter what
shall be your attainments' in the
years to come.
You have q right 10 be proud
that you have won. this victory
but rwid not, have you forget
that It Is not wholly your. own.
While it has been largely won by
your efforts the assistance and
the sacrifices made by your fam
lily have had no small part in it.
I would have you not forget that
the teachers have . right to
share in your success, and as
we'll the school board. Also that
the people of this school district,
the county and the state are all
entitled to consideration.
All the assistance that may be
rendered you by your parents or
that has been given you by your
teachers cannot bring success to
you. There is nothing that can
say to you that will bring it.
That achievement is alone with
you and can only be accomplish
cd by your looking upon life Sc
riously and being ever thought.
full.
You do not perform your full
duty in the church nor take the
place in society that you should,
nor render to your state all that
it is entitled to, nor be q. success

me say to you that at these times
my heart has been made sad to
dnd that so few measured up to
these standards. Now I am con
fident that it can never be.said of
one Of you young men Whist I
heard said of.a young mans few
days ago. 4 A. party remarked:
"He seems, to ,.be . promising
young man" And one who knew
him answered, eyes, that seems
to be his limit"
Now, young ladies. all these
measures apply to. you in oil
their fullness so far as dIling
positions of confidence and trust
in the business affairs of life.
But, over and above all this, to
make you competent to take the
part that you are destined to take
in this great battle, there will be
much more added to these meas.
ures. The home makes society
and society makes or unmakes
our state, and therefore, upon
the home depends our liberty and
happiness. t
1t is said chat history evidenc
es that the mothers of all great
and good men have been both
good and great. In my judg
ment the mothers of our land
can do more towards giving the
proper mental and moral train
ing to the children than all our
schools. That the great amount
of money expended for buildings
and teachers brings but an ad
junct to the work of the mothers.
1t he's been said that life is a
battle. You have not volunteer
ed in this service with an under
standing of the hardness of the
warfare and an acceptance of its
terms and conditions, but you
have been drafted into the con
flict and cannot escape taking a
part in it nor can you be muster |
ed out until death. You have
not even been allowed to select
your place in the ranks. You
come from different home. Your
advantages and hindrances are
different, therefore your en-
couragements and discourage
ments will be different. Your
trials and temptations in this
fight, will Fl ON this fact, and the
further fact that you are differ.

Of strength of mind and heart,
Or, likewise, cursed with the

for the battle Of life. This can
be paid only BY your making all
of life that your qualifications

make these your watch words:"I

not be alone sufficient to keep
these as your watch words but
you must act You must at all
times and under all conditions
give to your undertakings your
very best. You should at oil

butt think not, at this time when
our people are pleasure seeking

as the result of the neglecting
and refusing to think.
Now I know full we'll that
those of US on the outside do not

been with you these years and
especially do we not understand

are the trials of this life and it is
such as this that makes you the
stronger for the knocks land

Let me congratulate you again
on your victory and assure you
that I have full confidence tina,
your work will be rewarded by a
prosperous and happy future.

WENATCHEE WILL VOTE
ON LIQUOR QUESTION
Vets in County Seat Claim That Their
Town Will Have Saloons After
Coming Election

Wenatches will vote again at the
November election on the liquor ques-
ton. Two years ago the dry forces
won an overwhelming victory, the
vote against saloons standing 1909.
for saloons 400. The vets now claim
a decided revulsion of sentiment ow-
ing to stringent financial conditions,
declared to be due in large measure to
prohibition. Their success in circu-
lating a petition for resubmission Of
the question seems to bear out this
claim, for nearly 400 voters, many Of
them women, signed the petition.
Monday 200 more names were added,
thus passing the required number Of
sos, which is 80 per cent Of the vote
cast at the presidential election two
years ago. The anti-saloon forces are
preparing for vigorous resistance.

STEEL PLANT TRUSTEES
STILL FIGHTING ROTHERT
Another Effort is Being Made to Obtain
Books and Papers From Manager

Another step has been taken in the
litigation between stockholders OF the
Washington Steel & Iron Company and
the manager, E. H. Rothert. Notice
OF replevin has been served and filed.
The effort now is to gain possession OF
a typewriter, the ledger, cost book,
time book, correspondence, vouchers
and receipts which form a record OF
the business Of the concern. Rothert
refuses to give up these on the ground
that he holds his position as manager
by virtue of an agreement which til
stockholders have no power to abrogate.
They on the other hand hold that he
has failed to make good his part of the
agreement, that therefore they are
justified in getting possession Of the
formulas and books OF the concern in
order to learn whether they would be
justified in putting in any more money
in order to reap any benefit from the
investment thus made.
The company has its main Office at
Spokane but the plant is located at
