ON TAXATION IS
 ADOPTED BY CONVENTION

Little Rock, July i9.-After eight days of debate, the general article on taxation was adopted yesterday af- ternoon by the constitutional conven- tion. It 'yas in the nature of com promise between the factions that were standing for "equality and uni formity" and classification. It fol- lowed the greatest flow of oratory eyre heard in deliberate body in the state, in which the subject of taxa tion was analysed and dissected from every conceivable angle.
 As finally adopted, the article is as follows:
 "Sec 4.-Except as herein provided all tangible property in this state shall be taxed at it's actual value, that value to be ascertained as pre- scribed by law; and taxes thereon shall be imposed under general laws and for public purposes only and shall be equal and uniform within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax. No one species of tangible property shall be taxed higher than another species of tan- gible property if equal value, and subject to the same tax. Taxes upon monies. credits. stocks. bonds, fran

LET NOT AMERICA BE DE-
 CEIyED BY DEVICES OF DEVIL

When the Devil has some particular devilish piece of work to do he may onraar in sheep's clothing in order that he may get into the fold and de- strov the lambs, or he may appear as courtly gentleman, with his horns hid and his tail covered and his hoofs under patent-leather shoes, In order that in disguise he may wreak some dovilish work upon the innocent.
 Rut the Devil is devil all the same, ue sometimes works with open bru- +ol;tv He sometimes clothes himself in the livery of Heaven in order to do q more devilsh piece of work, and -o ,yben the German submarines in- vited the captains and the crews of some of the sunken vessels along the Atlantic coast to partake of their wine and their cigars, treating them as buman beings, the people of this coun- trv should have fully understood that these German officers were merely following the methods of the Devil in working his most devilish schemes.
 If these German officers could, un- der the direction of their leaders at home, convince a few weak-minded Americans that Germany is not the brutal beast that it has proven itself to be during the last four years, it might have in this way some power to help on the pro-German campaign, which continues with unabated vigor in all parts of the country. But for any American whose ship has been submarined by these sharks and pir ates of the sea to drink of the wine and smoke the cigars of these pirates and murderers is a sad reflection upon their own manhood. We would rather have been the dog that licked the sores of Lazarus than to have been the men who accepted this hospitality of wine and cigars from these brutes.
 Let not the people of this country be deceived by any possible show of humanity on the part of these German bruteS, for brutes they are. The men who are reported to have treated the captured sailors with some degree of humanity were the same men who sunk the passenger steamer Carolina and turned adrift in midocean more than 300 men and women and children
 The sinking of the Lusitania was somewhat more brutal, because in that case no possible chance was given for the women and children to be saved but next to that inhuman act on the sea will rank the sinking of the Carolina and the placing of hundreds Of men and women and children and hon-combatants in small, open boats Tar out at sea, subjected to the risk Of death, and death did come to large number of them.
 Against the gift of cigar or orlnk of wine to the captured sailors on some of the sunken ships put this act In contrast, and remember that Ihe beast which for four years has 'eeh tearing at the very vitals of

civilization cannot over night change it's spots, although, with it's Devil directed activities, it may garb itself in a new form in order to wreak more desperate, devilish act later on. It is the same trick that Geramny played on Russia, to Russia's ruin.- Manufacturers Record.

The Senior Class Play
A Large Audience Well Pleased

The Seniors of the River Falls
State Normal school presented their
annual Class play in the Normal
Auditorium Tuesday evening, June
4. The play Fannie and the Ser
want Problem" is a modern comedy
Of professional caliber, b u t h
pleasing and effective way in which
it was presented is evidence Of the
excellent ability Of those who took
part, and of the coach, Miss Schlos-
ser, to deliver the goods" under
any circumstances.
Miss Alta Anderson, who took the
part of Fannie, won repeated ap-
plause for the splendid way in which
she, as Lady Bantock, managed her
large household. Russell Robinson
as Lord Bantock, pleased the audi
ence in the able way in which he
carried out his part.
Chester Sanderson, as Martin Ben
nett, the butler, and uncle of Fan
ME was unsurpassed in the manner
in which he acted the part of a state
lay guardian of the Bantock name.
The rest of the Bennett family,
Miss Jennice Wilson, as Susanna
Bennett, the housekeeper; Miss Win
nifred Montgomery, as Jane Ben
nett, the maid; Mr.. Leo Kelley as
Ernest Bennett, the second foot
man; and Marion Granbois, as
Honore Bennett, the still maid, were
all exceptionally we'll represented
and won many favorable comments.
Miss Elizabeth Taggart and Miss
Rosetta Demulling were highly COM
plemented for the way in which
they presented the Misses Wether-
ell, aunts to his Lordship.
Mr.. Ed. Rock filled the part of
Mr.. George P. Newtie, former bust
ness manager for Fannie, in such an
easy natural way that he could east
ly be conceived as able to manage
even Our Empire"
The auditorium was filled to ca
pacity, and the large audience was
high in it's praise of Miss Schlosser,
and of the entire cast of characters.

The Seniors of the graduating
class Of the Normal feel that the
year which is drawing TO close has
been one of unusual activity and
unprecedented results. Those who
have been members of this class
from entrance as Freshman until
their commencement day, can look
back upon the five years with par
donable pride.
No group or organization is who'll
ly successful unless each individual
realizes his responsibility as mem
Der of that group. However, the
success of the class of 1918 has
been due in no small part to the 10y:
al support of its advisor, Mr.. Goble.
He has been untiring in his efforts.
His suggestions have been practi-
cal and his services, along every
line of class activity, have been val
liable.
The Senior class choose this
means of expressing publicly its
gratitude to Mr.. Goble and of wish.
ing him continued success.

Baccalaureate Sermon

The sermon to the graduating
class of the River Falls State Nor
NAL school was preached by the
Rev. James Howard Robinson of
Carleton college. The sermon was
notable for it's clarity, it's directness,
and its helpfulness. The speaker
is very fluent and has the ability to
deliver his message in a way to
arouse unusual interest. The au-
ditorium was filled with a very at
tentive audience and the spiritual
appeal to the graduating class met
with hearty response from all.
Professor Wright rendered very
pleasing solo entitled "The Little
Cares" The sextette composed of
Mr.. Wright, Mr.. Norseng, Miss Will
lett, Mrs. Skogmo, Mr.. Bird and Mr..
Chapman sang, Dear Lord of Free

subject, "The Year" He compli-

service in helping to stir America in

because that is the only effective
way to meet the serious problems

Letter From President Wilson

The following letter was received
by Mr.. Montraville Flowers, Presi-
dent, international l. yc e u m and
Chautauqua Association, written by
President Wilson in regard to the
Chautauqua Association.
My dear Mr.. Flowers:
1t has been on my mind for some
time to thank your organization for
the very real help it has given to
America in the struggle that is con-
cerned with every fundamental ele-
ement of national life. Your speak
ers. going from community to COM
munity, m e t i n g people in the
friendly spirit engendered by years
of intimate and understanding con-
tact, have been effective messengers
for the delivery and Interpretation
of democracy's meaning and imper-
ative needs. The work h a the
Chautauqua is doing has not lost i'm.
portance because of war, but rather
has gained new opportunities for
service.
Let me express the hope that you
will let no Encouragement weaken
your activities. and that the people
will not fail in the support of a pat
riotic institution that may be said
to be an integral part of the nation
al defense.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.
