1t is the time Of the year when It
is popular to tell how little the leg
islature has done, and that what
they have done is just what they
should have left undone, while the
few things they should have done is
resting peacefully in some pigeon
hole from where 1t is not likely to
emerge. The same papers had the
same comments two, four, six and
eight years ago. and will continue
to make the same sort two. four, six
and eight years hence and so on to
the end Of time. The fact is, the
average man sent to the legislature
is up against new proposition and
the only safe thing for him to do is
to go slow to prevent making lot
more blunders than he does.

SENIOR CORNER

Again the annals of the r. H. s.
record but one unmarried teach
er on the faculty staff. Great grief
was evident Monday morning when
1t was learned that Miss Dorothy
Hammond was united In the holy
bonds Of matrimony to Mr.. Sylvester
Lawson. Miss Hammond had been
our esteemed English and Latin
teacher and We are sorry to lose
her. However, we feel that Mrs.
Lawson will do her best to supply
the vacant place in our hearts and
in the classroom.
The Wedding Ceremony took place
some time Saturday at the home Of
the brides parents. We were not
present but from all reports, the af-
fair must have been elaborately plan
ned and carried out. 1t is enough
for US to say that the groom has q
very polished manner and happy ex-
preston. In fact, he simply radiates
happiness as the sun sends out heat
and light. The sun had to retire
late Monday evening because the
light on the groom's face far out
shone 1t.
Mrs. Lawson's blushes only go to
show that she is extremely happy.
Whenever one mentions marriage,
the happy brides face becomes
beautiful, rich red. OF course 1t
embarrasses her but we enjoy the
situation immensely.
Monday evening. the popular
couple were given a chance to treat
their many friends and the high
school had fine opportunity to make
the beginning Of their married life
miserable.
Nevertheless, the good wishes Of
the high school and especially those
of the Seniors, go with the newly
married pair. May happiness ever
guard their hearth and home.
There's nothing to a bachelors life,
But a chance to live and die,
With not q taste Of domestic strife,
Just blues and great, big sigh.
There's nothing to a teachers life,
No chance to scour and scrape-
The pots and pans Of married life,
No shirts to mend or curtains to
drape.
But oh, for the Joy Of a happy home.
For the light Of happy faces
Leaves no desire to try to roam,
To unknown and lonely places.

A CLOSE GAME LOST
TO BUCKINGHAM

To the Raymer fans who watched
the game at Bucldnghma last Satur-
day evening. 1t must have been some
disappointing to see the game slip
away when 1t was no nearly won.
Those who were not on the ground
to have their hopes unduly aroused
tho results were more satisfactory.
NJ. fact, we feel that a defeat by
such a close margin and with such
an improvement over the showing Of
the week previous, was very much
to their credit. They came back
strong and gave the Buckingham
boys the hardest battle they have
had on their own floor this season
and had the fans Of Buckingham
mighty anxious all through the
game.
Kayiner girls won. as expected,
but there was not the interest in
this game as our girls had already
secure place in the race Tor the
penant, which no accidents would
change.
The Keota boys had won from
Grover the night previous, 80 they
tie with Buckingham for first place
and the loss Of that game crowds US
down to thid place.

SCHOOL NOTES
Junior Jim Jams

Junior Jim Jams
Every person in the world is born
with good store Of curiosity. This
is a good thing, for curiosity helps
In securing the knowledge we need.
II curiosity is trained In the wrong
direction, 1t is dangerous weapon.
II person is anxious to know all
about arithmetic, and desires to be-
come a thorough mathematician, his
curiosity will lead him on and on
until he has learned all that is to
be learned along that line. Such Gu
riosity is helpful. There is another
kind of curiosity, though. 1t is the
idle kind. It just wants to pry into
other peoples affairs for the FUN Of
IT." It seeks to play tricks on others
just ito see what will happen" and
often the result costs life.
John Vanek was absent from
school Monday.
We are glad to see Donald with
the Junior class after . spell Of sick
ness.
Oh, are him gone!
Or did him went?
Or has him left alone?

The last game Of the league was
a loss to the Raymer boys, the score

Rule for National Conduct.
The propitious smiles Of heaven can
never be expected on a nation that
dIsregards the eternal rules Of order
and right which heaven Itself has or
dained.-GaorQe Washington.
The Raymer enterprise., 1923-02-22


The noisy marvel Of day;
His soul sste sui In its unstormed abode.
Washington was the master Of him
self. In subjection only to his con-
science. The English historian says
that mo nobler figure ever stood In
the forefront Of nations life"
Thackeray's tributes to him are fa-
miliar. All who have studied the char
acter and work Of this great man
agree that there was In him nothing
Of the self-seeker, nothing even Of am.
bition-except In that noble sense In
which all good men are ambitious.
Much he undoubtedly owed to the char.
acter with which he was born, and to
his inheritance, but much he also owed
to discipline. He had schooled him.
self to generosity in victory, patience
In defeat, and In that flneness Of soul
which safeguarded him against the
Establishments Of power. His was that
long g-breathed valor and undaunted
will.
Which. like his own. the days disaster
done,
Could. safe In manhood. suffer and be
still.
Washington's fame grows with the
years, and shines ever more brightly.
He was a strange figure to be cast up
out Of q revolution. Demagogues or
tyrants are usually the fruit Of such
upheayals. Perhaps the difference be-
tween him and other revolutionary
ieaders-or some Of them-refects
In a measure the difference between
our revolution and other revolutions.
At any rate It was the happy fortune
Of our country, and Of the world,
that this nation was led during the
perilous days Of the Revolution and Of
the formative period by man who
loved order and institutional liberty,
and who coveted for America only the
honor Of duty-doing and Of service to
tha world.
The Raymer enterprise., 1923-02-22
HAPPY FORTUNE THAT
GAVE WASHINGTON
TO The NATION

For many years there was dispo
sltion to think Of Washington as a
good man. but not great one. This
view prevailed even In this country
to a very considerable extent. But 1t
Is no longer held by those who are
best informed, for Washington's great
ness Is now everywhere acknowledged.
1t would be difiicut-perhaps impossi-
ble-to point to more completely
rounded character. John F'ske has
shown that he was great military
commander. OF the fine quality Of
Washington's craftsmanship there can
be no question. He was patriot with
out even the suspicion Of taint of
jingoism. He thought Of his country
not as something to be brugged about,
but to be served.
The law of service was. one may al
most say, the fundamental law Of tie
life Of Washington. He never sought
Office, and never desired 1t. One ca
not imagine him suggesting-or con
senting to-leglslation In order to win
votes. The first Presidents moral
courage was perhaps his most striking
trait. He resisted every effort on the
part Of politicians and people alike to
force the nation into war with Eng.
land On the side Of revolutionary
France. One may family imagine
what he would have said in response
to a suggestion that he could win
votes by going to war. and would lose
them by staying out. Not often has
there been a more accurate character.

A SAMPLE OF CONTEMPT

IF this is sample of your senti-
ment in regard to criminal cases
YOU are of no value to the State in
your present capacity, and YOU are
hereby discharged" Associate JUS
tice Philbrook in discharging an in
competent or incorrigible jury at
Alfred this week administered this
deserved rebuke.
The fact that the criminal they ac-
quilted had at the police court ad-
mtted his guilt, that his excuse, at
the trial. for having two barrels of
mash and a large quantity Of alco-
hol was that he needed it for bath
ing purposes was so absurd as to be
a joke. places this contemplate jury
in a most unfavorable light Their
act was in effect contempt of court,
themselves included, and of justice.
We don't know that the practise
OF black-listing jurors would work
out well, but these men certainly de-
serve to have their names made pub
lie to the contempt which all good
citizens must feel for them.

The ChiIdshness Of the "Wets"

The present exhibitions of a large
number Of people who resent the

! clsely those Of the amazed and re-
| hellious child interrupted in play
! that elders believe to be dangerous.
| Their arguments are as childish as

Nolstead Act was sprung on them.
Where have they been the last
twenty five years? So busy with
their grown-up plays that they have
not seen locality after locality
adopting local option, state after
! state going dry. bone dry; prohibi-
! ton steadily and openly creeping
over the continent! Sprung on them?
Nothing has been more open and
constant than the growth OF the pro-
! hibition sentiment in this country in
the last three or four decades.

Nolstcad Act in the making. and

the conversion of their plants.
1t is the child's mind that sees
only its little world and has not
| learned to read the sky ct TO listen
to what is going on beyond the hills
These old juveniles say that
fanaticsm is at the base Of the
NoiSlead Act. Fandtlc1Sm may have
had its part. but it was not
fanaticism that put through the Vol

hundreds of thousands OF sober

men and women who for years and
years had struggled SO to control the
liquor traffic that their sons and
daughters woulH not be ruined and
the moderate drinker gave them no

saloon-as there always will come
in great human struggles to control

| only thing to do.
