IMMEDIATE ASSEMBLING OF

opinion as an editor on the acute
question now before President VIII

and very courteously permitted Its
use for readers of the Miami Herald.
Mr.. watterson's telegraphed state
ment is as follows:

corrupt politics playing hide-and-seek
with the hysteria of fanatical politics
walks hand in hand with treason. The
nation never faced so many and such
serious conditions, nor was placed at
greater disadvantage in presence of
an enemy.
Although the president does not
need large powers than under the
constitution he already possesses. to
meet the submarine menace, congress

ity as he thinks he requires to protect
our ships and our people upon the sea.

this. To do so. then adjourning. were

No matter how self-sufficient the

the other hand. how unseeing and

there are many strange names. The
items of twenty five years ago are the
most interesting, and | suppose most
of your single wrapper list find them
so. Still there are a good many Of the
old friends left, and they have never
been replaced in my affections. |
wish / might, through the Register,
convey my good wishes to them, and to
assure them that:
All to myself l think of you,
Think of the things we used to do;
Think Of the things we used to say,
Think Of each happy yesterday;
Sometimes / sigh and sometimes

But | keep each olden golden while

With kind personal regards and

a large farm where students in the

TO ascertain from the county judge
whether or not these reports are regu-
larly made, and if any Of these reports

Immediately revoke these suspended
sentences.
Let me say to you boys just n
thing more. | cannot look down into
your hearts, and do not know what
you are thinking about now, but |
Mqnt to say TO you as a man who re-
spects churches and schools and homes
and society that you have started in
wrong. You tave disgraced your
church membership, but that is no rea-
son why you should not be good church
members hereafter. You have dis
graced your families, but that is a
great, big reason why you should
make it up to these very families By
being better boys. Now the only way
you can make good TO society for what
you have done is 10 turn right square
around and be just as much better
young men than you were before, than
your friend and plamates are, as you
were worse than they were. 1t is to
make it up to your church by being
just what you ought to be in your
church, by letting il take hold of your
lives and your hearts, because if you
do not it is not any good to you at all.
Now you have an opportunity to come
back into society right. Now start in
where you left off, and turn around and
''come back" Make your mothers feel
happy and safe when you go out. Make
your fathers feel when you go out you
! will come back good straight honest
boys. Earn the confidence of the peo-
pie of the community in which you live
because your fathers did that. Go to
work and earn back the reputation
which you had before. So | commend
you TO keep in the best of society, keep
in the best of places. | assure you
boys while | will do everything | can
to help you if you do right, and while
| shall be as glad as any n to know
that your reports are good, l shall not
hesitate to punish you to the full ex-
tent IF the law If Won do wrong There
will not be any q%uetion about it at all.
1t is W TO you. Your future is in your
own hands. | am not doing this solely
for your sake, but | am doing it for
the sake of all the boys in Bookings,
and all the young men in Brookings,
because there is not going to be any
more joking about taking cars, nor
any other crimes. Now young men
you may 90 and you may deposit the
none with the States Attorney to
pay these amounts and the costs by
tomorrow night. The States Attorney
may advise me if it is paid, and then
| should like a report from the States
Attorney, from the fathers and moth
ers that they will see that these boys
do something to carr this money. /
