Neb., Elizabeth Marius Kemper, Mil.
waukee; Mary Elizabeth Pomeroy of
Flint, Mich, and Margaret Constance
Elise Maryon, formerly of Kenosha,
but now of Milwaukee.
All of the traditions Of commence
ment day at Kemper Hall were car
ried out in the pretty ceremoniaIs
marking the close of the year.
The services in the Simmons GYM
nasium began with the annual process
sional in which all Of the students of
the school took part. The music for
the professional was played by Jean
Hamilton. Two musical numbers,
Hush Before the Dawn by Lohr, and
"The Winds in the South" by John
Brindle Scott were given by Clara
Louise Boyle after which the annual
commencement address was delivered
by the Rev. George Craig Stewart,
D. D. L. H. D., rector of st. Luke's
church in Evanston. Then followed
the singing of the Kemper Hall song
which was written by Elizabeth KEN
per Adams after which the student
body and the large number of visi-
tors went to the chapel where the
prizes and testimonials were awarded.
Later the members of the class and
the visitors gathered on the campus
for the laying of the class stone and
the services of the day closed with a
benediction.
After the conclusion of the ser
vices of the morning the Mother 'Su-
perior had number of guests at a
dinner.
This evening at six o'clock the an
nual reunion of the members of the
Kemper Hall Alumnae association is
to be held and it is expected that a
very large number Of former students
will attend. Reports on the endow-
ment fund and other interesting work
of the members of the association will
be given at the banquet. Large dele
cations representing Kemper Hall
clubs in both Chicago and Milwaukee
will come to Kenosha for the banquet

ing but no resolution was suggested
regarding it. 1t was laid on the
table to be discussed more at length
at later date.
Endorse Unit System.
The movement which has long been
strong among the Kenosha merchants
to attempt to secure the adoption of a
unit or decimal basis for the purchase
and sale of goods, received a strong
impetus when the members at the
Tuesday meeting passed q resolution
urging manufacturers to pack and in
voice all articles on a unit or decimal
basis SO that the dozen and gross sys-
tenn may be discarded and the pur-
chase and sale by ones, tens or hun
dreds instituted. Copies Of the resolu-
ton will be sent to many manufactur-
ing associations. It is hoped that con-
certed action by retailers all over the
United States will result in changing
the cumbersome system Of the past
for the more efficient decimal one
Suggested.

race for the Republican nomination for
United States senator. 1t is said that
this is an indication of a break be-
tween Governor Philip and Senator
Lenroot, but the men who are respon-
sible for the statement are for the
most part men who have not been
friendly to the governor or strong for
Senator Lenroot. 1t is expected that
Senator Lenrcot will seek a reelection.
He announced that he was a full fiedg-
ed candidate at the recent visit here.
No formal announcements has been
made of the candidacy of Mr.. Spooner.
Scores of Kenosha people are at
tending the national convention in
Chicago and most of them seem to be
having little trouble getting seats in
the rows reserved for guests. True,
the tickets which have come to Keno
sha are for seats a long ways from the
speakers platform, but the megaphone
provisions Of the big hall make it pos
sible for the Kenoshans to catch a
word now and then and they have a
wonderful unrestricted view of the
whole convention.

The audience is still wondering who
the invisible star" the baby brother

The play required four complete
changes Of scenery, and Harold Kanis
and Joseph Hamelink cannot be given
too much credit for the way in which
they handled this part Of play.
Much of the success of the evening
was due to the excellent music fur

under the direction Of Miss Cameron.
The play was directed by Miss Kroncke
and Miss Hansen.

garding the Kansas law. Labor pledged
Itself, it added, to uphold the federal
law protecting its rights against "un-
Warrantable issuance of writs Of in
junction, either prohibitory or manda-
tory ut is essential continued the
statement, shat additional legislation
regulating immigration should be en-
acted based on two fundamental prin-
ciples, namely, that the flow of immi-
grafton must not at any time exceed
the nations ability to assimilate and
Americanize foreigners coming to our
shores, and that at no time shall inn
migration be permitted when there ex-
lists an appreciable degree of unem-
ployment.v
Prohibition crept up right to the
door of the convention when Wayne B.
Wheeler, leader of the drys, asked the
platform makers to declare in favor of
the strict enforcement Of the prohibit
ton legislation. He declared that the
Democratic party would be forced to
take the same plank into its platform
and that 1t was good patriotism and
good politics for the Republicans to
lead the way. There were suggestions
for restoration of agriculture to pre-
war times and all sorts of other sug-
gestions and the leaders of the COM
mittee declared that hearings would
be continued until all could be heard.
Who'll Be vice-President.
A lot Of people think that the Vice
Presidency is sort of q tail to the
presidential kite, but it was admitted
that the Vice-P President nomination
was being carefully considered today.
It is pretty certain that one of the
aspirants for the big place on the
ticket will drop into second place. OF
course, all of them have announced
that II don't want it, but Fairbanks,
it was recalled, had said the same
thing when he ran with Roosevelt and
vet he was Vice. resident alright.
The delegates today take the same
view as the delegates took at that con-
vention.
It was said among convention lead
ers today that an adjournment was not
expected until noon on Saturday.

OF monkey furs and she did not appear
to be the least abashed as she faced
the great multitude. She seemed to
realize that she was doing that FIRST
thing" and she did it we'll. AS she con-
cluded, the great flashlights came on
and Senator Lodge asked the delegates
to bear with it while they made the
sacrifice to publicity Of letting the
moving pictures work. While the
movies were being taken, a song leader
trotted out the fayorite hymn of the
women, "The Battle Hymn of the Re
public" and it was sung by the dele
gates with feryor which brought one
of those thrills which makes hearts
swell with patriotism.
Chauncey Depew, that grand old
young man of the Republican party,
shared the honors Of the morning with
Mrs. McCarter. He was in rare form
and in rare voice when he advanced to
the circus platform for wonderful
ovation. "He needs no introduction to
Republican convention this old
man." said Senator Lodge.
The New York leader declared that
Lodge did not know a young man when
he saw one. "A man down south, who
heard me speak one" said the grand
old man, "asked me how old I was.
'Eighty-six', | told him. Well, all /
have to say he responded, is that you
are either miracle or a damned liar
and / don't believe in miracles"
1t put the convention in rare good
humor and former Senator Depew
spoke for fifteen minutes. There were
calls for Speaker Joe Cannon, but
someone shouted that the former
speaker and his. grandfather had gone
out for a cigar and this was an adj
journment in rare good humor
The platform committee had a busy
morning of it with many speakers sug-
costing planks and braces for the Re-
publican pact. Samuel Gompers ard
Mathew A. Woll Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor submitted series of
demands to the committee. They in
cluded these suggestions:
Legislation which proposes to make
strikes unlawful or to compel the wage
earners to submit their grievances or
aspirations to courts or to govern
mental agencies, is an invasion IF the
rights of the wage earners and when
enforced makes for industrial serfdom
and slavery" the statement said re-
