This country, more than any
other country perhaps is founded
upon the common people, and it
is to them it must look for the
conduct of affairs, and for the
stability and permanence of its
institutions. This demands that
the people be intelligent, edu-
Gated and well balanced. 1t is
therefore reassuring that every
year thousands of well trained
and educated young people are
graduated from the high school
and colleges of the land to enter
upon LIES duties and prepare
themselves to in time take the
place Of their elders in business,
politics and other walks of life.

Some Real Facts for
the Voter to
Consider

In a circular letter bearing the
date of June IL, 1915, the Pine
County Citizens League makes
the following statement:
| "Upon other things the
county used to get 10 per
cent of the liquor license
money for roads, but since
1913 it does not get a
single cent from village
licensers.
This may be a fair statement
as a sample of some Of their
other arguments.
Ten per cent of the IL
censer's money must be
expended upon roads
leading into the villages
but not upon roads or
streets within the corpor-
ate limit of the villages.
The voter viii readily see if he
looks up the law, that these above
facts as stated. that the county
and not the villages, gets the use
of this money, outside the vii
lagos itself. Thus the same ben
eft applies to county roads as
though the money actually passed
through the county funds. II
statements like these are used
the balance of their statements
must be taken by the voter with
a grain Of salt.

CHOSEN FOR HONORARY
SOCIETY
Who Have Served in The Iron Wedge Society,
University of Minnesota, During Past Year

Following the list of names Of
Senior members, "The Minnesota
Daily" student paper Of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, describes the
Iron Wedge society as follows:
"The announcement of the active
members Of Iron Wedge is made
for the first time today. The above
names are those of the Senior men
who have served in this honorary
society during the past year. Iron
Wedge is an honorary society, or
gained four years ago, with "the
good Of the university" as it's
fundamental purpose. President
Vincent said at the time Of it's orr
ganization that he hoped that Iron
Wedge would approximate the
character of the Yale societies, and
would conscientiously devote it
self To the furtherance Of all worthy
issues for a greater Minnesota"
The method Of election to this
society is unique. The active mem
bers elect a committee of three,
composed of one active member,
one alumnus. and one member Sc
Iected from the faculty, who select
a fourth. The four then select d
fifth and final member Of this cleo
ton committee, which elects the
men from the junior class whom
they deem worthy Of membership
in Iron Wedge, from list Of thirty
names nominated by the society at
large. This membership may not
exceed fifteen men. The commit
tee may reject any or all Of the
names nominated and call for fur
Their nomination if desired.
The control of future member
ship rests, therefore, entirely out
side Of the society itself. 1t is
believed that this non-partisan
method of election will prevent
any degeneration into social or
ganization, and will keep the orig
inal purpose, "for the good Of the
University" paramount.
To further carry out this idea,
the membership in Iron Wedge is
kept entirely secret for one year.
The men whose names are amour
ced for the first time today were
elected a year ago and will wear
the Iron Wedge for the first time
today. The organization has been
active in many of the measures
which have been advanced at h e
university during the past year.

BEN GREET PLAYERS

The Senior Glass of the Normal
school will bring the Ben Greet
Players to River Falls June 9th.
Ben Greet has been called t h e
father Of open air performances
in America. In May, 1908, he gave
the first performance ever given
by a professional company in the
open air. 1t was felt to be largely
in the way of an experiment and
was done at the solicitation o
several people who had seen Mr..
Greet's pastoral performances in
England. The success was instan-
taneous and since that time the
Ben Greet Woodland Players. have
been seen on the campus of nearly
every college in the United States
as well as at most of the exclus-s
i've country clubs during the sum-
mer months.
A number of open air theatres
have been built especially for Mr..
Greet-notably the Greek Theatre
at the University of California in
Berkeley which Mr.. Greet opened
with performance Of GAS You
Like It."
There is a delightful novelty and
q sense OF reality to the perform
ances that is never realized in a
theatreL The spectator gains the
impression of seeing bits from real
life rather than that of eeeing
players going through parts. The
effect of the powerful calcium
lights produces an illusion that it
is impossible to describe. The
scenery is not the painted canvas
and artificial setting of the thea
ire, but Natures own setting of
green lawn and shrubbery. No lit
tie part of the charm Of the n
Greet Woodland Players perform
ances is in the incidental music
which is rendered by a quartet.
The performances here will be
given on the campus of the Normal
school on the evening of June g..
The play to be presented thc.t
evening is ShakespeAre's flaming
of the Shrew."

MISS STERLING DEAD

Word has been received here of
the death Of Miss Irene Sterling.
Many in this city remember Mr.
and Mrs. B. c. Sterling and their
daughter, Miss Irene, former res
idents of Rivr Falls. Mr.. Sterling
Installed and was the first super
intendent of the local electric light
plant, and held that position here
for several years. Miss Irene S
remembered as an unusually a t
tractive girl and an especial favor-
tie among her playmates.
From here the family moved to
New London. then to Three Rivers,
Mich, and a year ago to Atlantic
City n. j.
Miss Irene graduated from the
Department of Music and Art IN
the Western State Normal school
at Kalamazoo and looked forware
to teaching. but she had overtaxed
her strength and there ensued a
struggle for health for two years
in which she was defeated.
The papers of Three Rivers pay
a high tribute to the beautiful
character into which she had de-
veloped and extend sympathy to
Mr.. and Mrs. Sterling, in which we
of River Falls are glad to join.
