Friday September 30, was red
letter day at the School, being the
occasion of the fourth commence
ment. The class day exercises of
the morning were very good, each OF
the nine members of the class ac-
quitting himself with credit. Presi-
dent Lory was unable to be with us
on account of sickness. Prof. Gillette
director of the experiment station
at the College, delivered the com
mencement address. He said that
one of the most commendable rea-
sons for getting an education is the
desire to be of greater service. He
showed that the thought of the
great men of all ages has been the
welfare of humanity and of the
State altruism not selfishness and
commended to the members of the
class honesty, self-reliance, work,
self control and faith as factors in
the making of strong character. 1t
was a splendid address and well re-
ceived by the large audience. The
musical numbers by Miss Fackerell
and Mrs. George West of Durango,
Miss Mills of Ignacio and Mr.. Kline
felter and the Faculty quartette,
were much appreciated. The recep-
tion in the evening was a very hap
py occasion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-A su-
spicion that a belligorent nation
might be maintaining a naval base
off our coast caused destroyers to
dash seaward from New Port yes,
terday. Secretary of Navy Daniels
said they would scour the coast
north to East Port, Maine.
The possible bases are not believ
ed to be ON land that non-sinkable
RATS may be floated on the sea to

THE COST OF LIVING

"'rhe high cost Of living is a SER
ious problem in every American
home. We charge that excessive
prices result, in d large measure,
from the high tariff laws enacted
and maintained by the Republican
party, and from trusts and eommer-
ciaal consipracies fostered and en-
couraged by such laws, and we as
sert that no substantial relief can
be secured for the people without i'm
port duties on the necessaries of life
are materially reducer."
Democratic Platform of 1912.
The tariff Oh the necessaries of
life has been radically reduced, re-
dueed so much all along the line that
it has been necessary to devise all
sorts of new and onerous special tax
es-but the cost of living has not
been reduced 1t is steadily mcreas-
ing. This week one of the most ex-
tensive restaurants in New York, an
institution which has more than a
hundred branches in this city and
branches in many other cities, res
taurants where the wealthy never
eat, but which feed hundreds of
thousands of clerks and working
girls daily, has been obliged to put
up its prices, All egg orders, pies
and coffee have been increased Be
and genuine suffering will result.
This means, not that the customers
of these restaurants will pay more
for their meals. They haven't got
it to pay. 1t means they win cat
less, despite the fact that many of
them are under-noul'ished already.
On every side the cost of living is
increasing by leaps and bounds and
many who had gained some increase
in wages as a result of the European
war and believed they had attained
some measure of prosperity now find
the increased pay insufficient to off
set the increased cost of living; that
they are even poorer than before
