The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1917-01-18

of what was said from the mind of one
whose searching knowledge of jurisprudence
is great credit as we'll as valuable asset.
Among some of the things Mr. S. said
was that the science of the law called juris-
prudence is the most practical and serviceable
of all the sciences, inasmuch as it pertains
to the regulation and ordering of every de-
tail of our daily life in its relation to our
fellow citizens and the state, that law in
general can be divided first into two great
branches, International law and what we
might call national law. He said inter-
national law is that body of rules and Gus
toms which regulate the inter-relations of
sovereign states, while national laws are the
laws of any sovereign state applicable with
in its own territorial limits. Mr.. S. further
stated that each individual state in the union
has its own particular institution, also that
each state within the limits of its owl geo.
graphical boundaries is as omnipotent
and independent as is the United States
within its own sphere of action.
Mr.. S.. clearly defined the different and
important branches OF law that help to make
it possible to form the Government of the
United States, Great Britain, Russia and
other foreign countries. His paper was a
masterpiece of practical facts, real interest
and instruction, thus conveying message
of great importance to humanity in all lines
of endeavor.
The Trombone comedy "Slidus from
bonus" by Mr.. ]. w. was we'll received
MIR. w. was enthusiastically and repeatedly
enchored to which he responded, being
greatly applauded every time. His from
bone solo had that soft and voluminous de-
livery of tone sweetness so magnetic to the
lovers of music.
The talk by MIR. S., was excellent and he
showed himself able and brave to handle it,
his presentation was doubly interesting and
instructive because he spoke of the market,
the product and selling power of the great
Ford automobile company, besides impart-
ing some real facts pertaining to the social
and economic conditions of the Ford plant,
their homes and the great army of en-
ployes. Among other things Mr.. S. said,
was that it has been quoted that Henry
Ford looms upon the horizon of Detroit
lake like a planet. He is called the indus
trial miracle maker and is the laboring
mans friend and took into his plan the
broad view that every man, no matter what
his past had been, should be given chance,
and that Mr. Ford has pro6t-sharing plan
for his workers and also holds that a man
has the right to the value of what he pro-
duces as near as can be determined, and
with a steady job he will do more and bet
ter work. Mr.. Ford is, perhaps, the only
independent financial power in the world
that all other rich bankers, manufactures,
and rich men of large enterprises were link
ed together by a system of interlocking
interests upon which they built up the
delicate fabric of credit.
The song by Mr.. T. S.-"Ireland must
be heaven for my mother came from
there was rendered with great sweetness
and power. His voice in this was char
acteristically clear gold, for it had the rich
coloring and tonal shadings and the fresh
ness of sunlight. Mr.. S. was enthusiastic
ally enchored to which he responded with
the chorus.
The paper on "Patriotism,' by Mr..
F. B. was patriotic in its deepest sense.
A real treatise on true American patriotism.
We hope to give our readers some idea of
what was said and how Mr.. B., impressed
us as a speaker. He came forward in
simple, quiet manner and began in
natural dignifed way which won instant
attention. He had not spoken long before
we realized that he knew how to
throw his patriotic zeal among the gems of
thought to make each add lustre to the
other. His clear voice and distinct enun-
citation were easily heard throughout the
auditorium, and made it all the more pleas
ing, for Mr.. B., was completely embued
with an enthusiastic fire of patriotism and
spirit to express it. Mr.. B., believes that
the Stars and Stripes should actuate great
love for ones country SO as to inspire one
to zealously and unselfishly devote his
services to his state and country the best he
knows how and thus make himself true
patriotic statesman, with due vigilance to
serve and to keep his ever united coLn-
try and uphold its rights.
Among other things, Mr.. B. stated that
the United States was united in their pat
riotism for one cause to keep the lights of
independence burning, and when we pause
to consider how much patriotism we owe
to this country it would be well for us to
think how much the Stars and Stripes-the
emblem of the constitution-mean to us.
President, Mr.. ]. ]. S., in his compli
mentary closing address, expressed with
thankful appreciation, hearty invitation to
attend our future sessions, was followed by
sweet meritorious rendition by the Prison
Orchestra. Great credit is due to Profess
