The drowning Sunday morning of

warning to the boys and girls and all
others who venture out on the river
in canoes and boats for ride, unless
they are familiar with the way to
manage them.
The canoe is specially treacher-

handled rightly. 1t won't do, however,
to take any chances in trying to be
smart and funny by standing up and
rocking the boat or attempting to
change seats in the middle of the
stream.

in the mind of every person who goes
a-boating for recreation. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that no more drownings
will occur in our city. 1t might be
well in this connection to sound a
word of caution particularly regard
ing the Venetiann night boat riding.
Every precaution should be taken to
avert an accident on the river.

The Republican party has found the
leader IL has been seeking and need
ing SO sorely, says the Detroit Free
Press editorially. Fortune and the
instructive action Of the American
people have bestowed upon IT exactly
the man demanded by the hour. None
but born leader, a mastery COM
mander, could have seized opportunity
with such unerring appreciation OF
timeliness and such infallible adapta-
tion Of the right words to the right
ideas as are presented in the historic
document by which the party's NOM
ination was accepted. In Charles
Evans Hughes the United States has
new political force, and 1T is a
force that will have TO be reckoned
with in the campaign now opened.
Ii has been charged by his oppon-
ents that his reticence was against
him. that he was unwilling TO speak
out on the issues of the day because
he feared to speak wrongly. But
nothing except dignity prevented his
speaking, it is now clear. He waited
because the time had not come when
he could speak with propriety. When
the time did come he spoke instantly.
He struck swiftly and he struck
home.
Five minutes could not have passed
between his receipt of the telegram
from Chairman Harding notifying
him of his nomination and his dis
patch of his resignation as judge.
That threw off the restraint, and as
the judicial robes dropped from his
shoulders he leaped into the armour
of the warrior. He wrote a ringing
message of Americanism, displayed a
profound knowledge of the issues of
the day and went straight to the
heart of the questions on which this
campaign will be fought. Theodore
Roosevelt himself couldd not have ex-
pressed the spirit of patriotism than
has Hughes. and Hughes has combin-
ed with it the spirit of true Republi-
canism which the leader of the party
must have.

AS GOOD A HOME AS THIS FOR
EVERY MAN

Every man in the United States
should own his own home, first, be-
cause a man cannot be the kind of a
husband, father, or citizen he should
be if he lives in squalid, unsanitary,
rented rooms, as many are forced to
because land is so expensive, or be-
cause they have never thought it. pos
sible to save enough to buy home.
Fifty years ago there was a sharp
division drawn between the farmer
and the city man. While it was true
that large number of men In the
cities were born on the farm, there
was a certain discounting of the
farmer, commonly known as hay
seed" and because he wore old clothes,
and a straw hat when at work, his lot
was not envied, nor advocated by the
city young man, who preferred TO
wear stylish clothes, even if he stood
behind a counter, selling ribbons, or
children's toys, and earned less than
the man on the farm.
Today there is a change in opinion
regarding the farmers lot, and many
a man working on a salary, in our
large cities, and nearing the age limit,
is beginning to realize that the day is
coming when his services will no
longer be wanted by the company, and
although he has been unable to save
enough to care for his wife and him
self through old age. Such night
mare is facing every young man as
truly as it is his father and the time
to save both time and money is wher
we are young, and are making money
The city men are also beginning tt
realize that farming is the basis OF
all success, and that the man who
owns enough land to provide his owl
food, and a house which is comfort
able, and all his own, is, after all, thu
American king, if he has some of the
Injuries and modern necessities fount
in city life. Such men are sending
their city-bred sons to the agricultural
colleges, with a view to having then
return to the farm which their grand
fathers titled, and which the fathers
left for the alluring city life thirty O
forty years ago.

cess and honorable manhood and
womanhood.
"Class Of 1916 There is another
benefit derived from our high school
life which the industrial world might
not recognize and which we have ac-
quired more or less unconsciously. 1t
is not until such an occasion as this
that we realize the strength of the
friendships formed in these years OF
association, nor how much they mean
to us. New friendships will be form
ed, but somehow, / feel sure that
whatever happens there will. always
remain a warm feeling for the MEM
bers of the dear old class of 1916, a
feeling that will rejoice with success
and sympathize with misfortune.

sorrow to show you the difference"

TOLL OF THE TORNADO

Down in the States of Arkansas,
Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and
Illinois a tornado has claimed some
thing like a hundred and fifty lives,
besides over a million dollars in prop
erty loss. This is a real disaster for
the country and goes to show how
powerless man is when it comes to
dealing with the elements. 1t is pos
sible to prevent war and pestilence,
but when nature goes on a rampage
it is all off and there is no known sys-
TEN of prevention This disaster was
in the Mississippi valley which has so
often been the scene of death and de-
struction in the past. Science is BAT
filed when it comes to dealing with the
tornado, because there is no telling
when or where it will strike. Devas-
tation by a cyclone is as bad as an in
vasion by hostile army, for in most
instances the territory covered is
wiped clean of everything that can be
moved by the strongest kind of force.
The country will continue to suffer
from the tornado until science knows
more about the storm than it does at
present.

STRONG FOR PROTECTION

Colonel Roosevelt came out strong
ly for restored protection in his
speech at Newark, N. j., June /. He
said:
"After the war we shall face Eu-
rope which has cast off the shaclxles of
the past and which industrially will be
as aggressive as any military power
has ever been in a military sense. 1t
is time for this great country of ours
to be unified in its Americanism. One
phase of that Americanism must be
the Americanization of our industries.
With this end in view it is an absol-
ute necessity that there shall be pro-
lection, that we shall have protec-
tive tariff. But while such tariff is
essential to our permanent well being
and while, If there is not such a tar
| iff. we shall face the gravest economic
diseaster after the close of the war

HIS VIEWS YIN IREA ARA<A/. ~ 4<s@c
In his speech on Preparedness dur
ing the debate in Congress recently
Representative Dies Of Texas said:
II say TO this House OF Representa-
tivcs this day that if enough Demo
Gratis will stand with me, or allow me
TO stand with them, we will put the
kibosh on this mad rivalry between
nations as to which shall build the
greatest navy and tax the nation the
most by getting a tax on incomes.
Then we will get space In the New
York World, we will get space In the
Saturday Evening Post, then we Will
get our views in the moving picture
shows, and not until then. As long
as they can tax the man in the ditch
in time of peace, as long as they
can tax the laboring man in proper
ton to his consumption in time OF
peace, and pocket the profits Of mil
lion dollars day, and send the other
fellow to war when they bring it on,
so long will they cry, Let slip the
dogs of warp
our beloved country, we are all ready
to make the sacrifice; but do not want
to talk ourselves into war. Stop this
talk, suppress the moving picture
shows that depict the dastardly in
vasion Of our country without an
American rising in arms to defend our
shores. If there is anything in this
world that will produce was in this
country, it is the Incorporate and
idiotic talk going forth from public
men in the public press. What nation
in the world today has war griev-
ance against us over here working out
our destiny, disturbing no nation in
the world. Unless We threaten and
bully and fan the smoldering embers
of hate into war and alarm the Ameri-
can people into the belief that the
country is to be invaded, we will have
no war"

good name, was the opinion of Mr..
Blair. He cited the divisions of edu-
cation, as to its influence on different
students, as outlined by Henry Van
Dyke. Education, according to Van
Dyke" said Mr.. Blair, twas divided
by the youth, into three main classes.
One class Of students made decorative
education the all important thing.
They considered education as a dec
Grafton to character, to poise in the
business and social world. A second
class looked upon education from a
marketable standpoint. They looked
to the classification in the pursuit of
which they could derive the largest
financial gain. The third class were
thrown into the creative class. This
latter class were students that Great

plication. While the personal phase
is not SO much discussed, it is, how
ever, no less important. We, the
class Of 1916, stand tonight at the
opening Of life's way. 1t seems only
natural, on this occasion, to take an
inventory of our resources to see what
preparation we have CLEANED for the
future. The industrial world in which
we must find our place is constantly
raising its standard of requirements
and hundreds of positions, that few
years ago were open to every one, can
now be secured only by the young
man or young woman who holds a
high school diploma while those form
eriy open to high school graduates
now require college training But
why, you ask, is this true?"
Because high school and college
training means preparedness. Out
side of the mere facts acquired in a
high school or college course there is
training which means greater
efficiency. We begin to see advantage
of the discipline of our parents and
instructors. Now we can see, to a
certain extent, what they have done
for us and that the many hard les
sons were only means to the end.
We are glad that they have not done
our work for us, but have given only
the help and encouragement needed to
develop US. They have endeavored to
instill within US sense of honor and
esponsibility-at first coaxing and
persuading, later trusting.
1--WE hope that our honor will stand
as a monument to their good work.
In keeping our hardness records the
teachers have not cared so much for
the marks themselves as for the habits
which we were forming. The meneal
discipline of an algebra problem or a
Latin translation, the power of or
ganization developed by geometry
theorem and the ability to stand up
and tell what one knows in the clear
est way, are an invaluable part of the
training. This discipline, this self
control developed by a higher educa-
ton, will help us to meet the demands
of the world---to meet the emergency.
Daniel Webster was once compliment
ed on powerful speech made without
preparation. No preparation ex-
claimed Webster, I've been forty
years preparing that speech

of the preparation which has been
given us, and now we bid farewell to
the teachers we thank them for their
part in building up our characters
We know it is no small part and we
hope it has not been in vain.
"To our parents we turn in loving
thankfulness for their never-failine
