explained the object for which it had
been convened and called upon the house
to nominate and elect a chairman. Pro-
posed were Messrs. j j. johnson, Alex
ander Creagh, FRED. Jackson, Jr. and
others who all declined, as did also Mr..
B. R. Larsen and Mr.. G. Lange who
showed good reason why they could not
take the chair. Lawyer A.. E. Stake

present, and DR.. Canegata arrived
later, but the other speakers as we'll.

were conspicuousiy absent. AS business

cessary preliminaries had been disposed
of the gathering was obliged to disperse
after an hour or more had been vast
ed in abortive efforts to make a start.
1t was decidedly a great disappointment
to those parties Immediately interested
who had relied upon their cause being
championed by the more lettered and
capable in the audience, and there is no
gainsaying the fact that last nights pro-
ceedings stand out very d~iscreditably
against the better informed element of
the community among whom are many
so-called representatives of the people,
who were probably shaking in their
shoes from cold feet, and upon whom the
responsibility should be placed for every
hardship that may result through lack OF
appropriate representation and timely ac-
ton in their behalf.

ages and the trustees of posterity.
In your heirship you have incurred
debts for which you should render
thanks to the school board. on behalf
Of the tax payers who have so gen
erOusly provided for your needs; to
your teachers who have labored so
increasingly in your behalf; to the
parents whose self denial have made
it possible for you to occupy the po-
sition you hold tonight, to the coun-
try which has established the free
public school and to the great God
of all who presides over the destinies
of men and without Whom no man is
truly educated.

The "Peace" Resolution

Milwaukee Journal: The presi-
dent of course vetoes the mongrel
joint resolution called a "peace res
olution, 'but practically admitted by
some Of the men who voted for it to
be fake. He could not do other
wise and look his country in the face
1T was charged and not questioned
on the floor of congress that some Of
the members voting for it would not
so vote if they were not sure the
president by his veto would save the
country from the shame their votes
proposed.
Senators have said with every ap-
pearance Of gravity that their course
on the treaty was inspired by wish
to defend America. The presidents
veto message points out that this
resolution makes "a complete sur
render Of the rights Of the United
States SO far as the German govern
ment is concerned" He emphasizes
what is evident to any that it does
not exact from the German govern
ment "any action by way Of setting
right the infinite wrongs which it
did to the people whom it attacked
and whom we professed it our pur-
pose to assist when we entered the
war.
In one sentence President Wilson
gives the great reason why he cannot
approve the measure:
81 cannot bring myself to become
party to an action which would
place an ineflaceable stain upon the
gallantry and honor Of the United
1t is the privilege of a senator to
vote such a thing, in the confidence
that the president will save the ma
tion from the consequence of that
vote. But the president has not the
privilege to approve a violation of
the honor and good faith of the ma
ton
