ZENITH VOLUME VIII Published by the J umor Class of Simpson College in the Spring of the Year Nineteen and Seven SUtna iflatrr anl %)cv Cfnlfcren. OME years ago, one with a mother’s heart in her breast, but with no home ties, adopted a large family of children. She had no capital to invest, little money indeed, but much love. She took a small house at first, but soon moved into a large one. She furnished but a few rooms. Her friends said to her, Why did you take so large a houscT You can’t furnish it all.” She answered. I can’t now, but I want room enough for my children and grandchildren, when they come home to visit me in after years, and they will furnish the house. Her friends laughed at her. “Don’t you know that adopted children are proverbially ungrateful? they said. 1 hey 11 all go off as soon as they’re grown, and that will be the last of them.” But she answered, I shall love them so well that they will love me in return. So the home was founded and the mother and children were happy there. Summers and winters, they kept as busy and as cheery as could be. But the mother’s slender resources began to fail. Her friends and neighbors helped her all they could, yet in spite of this, and her careful management it was hard to make both ends meet. One day—they always referred to it in hushed tones—the mother called the children in to the living room and said, My dear ones, you arc more precious to me than life. You are my life. And now my heart is breaking, for I fear I must give you up. Just because I love you, I will tell you that there arc homes where each of you can be received, and where you can have comforts, and even luxuries. If you stay with me you will have poor fare, poor quarters and hard work.” She paused, for her voice was choked. The children looked at her wonderingly. At last one said: “Mother, you don’t want us to go, do you?” No,” she answered. “Well, then, don’t you think that if we eat less, and spend as little as we can, we can keep together?” “Oh yes, let’s keep together,” cried the other children. And this became the watchword of that home. As for the mother, she thanked God and took courage. Yes, and soon their prospects began to brighten. The neighbors and the friends, and even the children contributed to the little store, and in all the years it has never failed. Among the many pleasant customs of that home, none was pleasanter than the coming together at the Children’s Hour” each day, into the old living room. The mother made this time so pleasant that the children all looked forward to it, and they grew to love the plain room where they had such good times together. Often they talked about fixing up the house”, as they expressed it, but t ey all agreed that they wanted to keep the living room unchanged. They loved everything in it—the old fashioned wall-paper, with it’s drop ceiling, the wooden chairs, the oiled floor, the rug in front of mother’s chair, the stand with mother s Bible on it, the old white curtains, the old pictures on the wall, one representing their first home, others recalling the great scenes ot the past and lifting their thoughts beyond their own personal interests. But the time came when some of the children had to go out into the world for themselves. The family came together just before they started to bid them goodbye. The eldest son led his mother to the window and showed her, out in the yard, a great, white stone, and he said: “Mother, this is for you to look at when you miss us, and we want you to know that it means we are thinking about you and looking forward to our next meeting.” This was the parting gift, and for some time afterward, whenever any of the family left home, they set up a great stone for their mother to remember them by. After more prosperous times came, the children gave a different sort of present. And at last the mother’s faith has been justified. Every room in the house is furnished by the children and their friends, and they are building an addition, that they may have a better place to keep their books. They, have, moreover, great plans for the future. Throughout the home are reminders of their love. In the old living room is a fine, large clock with the names of those who gave it written on it’s case. There is also a portrait in bas-relief of one of their most beloved benefactors. In the old library is a beautiful table, a handsome bookcase and busts, presented by different members of the family. Some of the children have put their money together and bought a cabinet to put the family treasurers in, and they have written their names on its doors. Others have put their money into the bank in mother’s name. The mother, busy as she is, finds time to dictate a long newsy letter to absent loved ones every week. The children make copies, and send them to those away. But the mother has sorrow in her heart over some things. Her children, after they leave home, become more or less absorbed in their own interests, and many of them think less about home. Strange as it may seem, some of them don’t care enough about the weekly letter to send stamps in order to secure a copy. Some of them almost never write to their mother, and never visit her. She makes every excuse for them, though she can’t help feeling their neglect. But what grieves her far more is that a few of her children don’t like the way things go at home, and so they talk to each other about it and they even talk to outsiders, and they say, “Mother doesn’t manage the younger children as well as she did us; mother doesn’t do this, and mother doesn’t do that.” All these disloyalties hurt the loving heart. But she doesn’t lose faith in her children, nor does she cease to work for their interests. And as she has a great reputation for bringing up children, her influence is wide and her children have no difficulty in getting work throughout the surrounding country. The mother’s heart yearns over them. She sends them loving messages and gives them a warm welcome when they come home. Thinking sadly of those who arc indifferent to her, she has a word of loving admonition for all the children she loves. Listen, and you can hear her saying to your hearts: “Dear children, beloved Alumni, you’ve been good sons and daughters to me. I shall always miss you—but I’ve known from the first that I couldn’t keep you always. I’ve tried to bring you up right, and I’m proud of you. Love me. my children; speak well of me; do me credit; write to me; keep in touch with the home life; don’t forget to help your brothers and sisters; read the home letters; come back and see us as often as you can—and remember that Alma Mater loves you. —M.

Cfie ®SJootng of tntpsonta 3 ix Juniors PART I. ONG ago when o’er the prairies Roamed the bison without number, And the grey wolf of the forest Hunted down the timid wild deer. When the rivers and the marshes Were all clear and crystal waters, Clear and sweet and sparkling waters, There was seen a mighty warrior Roataing through the virgin forests. Through the woods and o’er the prairies. Tall and handsome was this warrior. Tall and strong was Indianola, .And a great and mighty chieftain In a rich and powerful nation. Fearless was he, and his courage Like a swiftly flowing river Knew no check and brooked no curbing, Knew no stopping nor cessation. He was loved by all his people, Loved and feared by youths and maidens, Loved and honored by his seniors. And in turn he served his nation As a true and faithful chieftain; . Led his warriors into battle. Led them onward with his war-cry, And they won in every conflict, Never failed to gain the victory When the mighty Indianola Was their leader and protector. Maidens were there in his nation, Maidens tall and fair and comely. Yet he could not find among them One who satisfied the yearning Of his love so strong and tender. So he walked amidst the forests, Wandered far upon the prairies. Called upon his friends to westward. Visited the tribes to eastward, Made a journey to the southward And another to the northward, Seeking always for a maiden, Seeking and yet never finding One to satisfy his longing, One whom he might love and cherish. Till one evening in the twilight As the shadows slowly lengthened O’er the gently rolling prairies. And the music of the waters Rippling o’er their rocky courses Softly lulled him into slumber, Indianola saw a vision, Saw a wondrous revelation. Passing by him like a spirit Was a tall and stately maiden. Light her tread was as a zephyr From the west at evening blowing. And her voice like rippling waters. Fair of countenance and lovely With a smile that like the sunshine Warmed and brightened all about her. And it cheered brave Indianola, Thrilled his soul and made his heart leap With the promise of the future. Then the maiden vanished from him And he heard a spirit speaking From the peaceful sky above him, From the land of the Great Spirit, From the realm of the Hereafter. And there came to him a message Words of praise and admonition. Words directing him to action: “Now arise, O Indianola, Get thee up and take thy weapons, Gird thyself for pleasant duties. Now return unto thy people. To the fair land of thy childhood. For there sojourns in thy country Now the people called Methodes. There among them dwells the maiden. Go and woo her, she is waiting For a lover strong and fearless For one able to protect her. She is known among her people As Simpsonia the lovely. As the fairest of the maidens Of the tribes between the rivers. Thou shalt build for her a wigwam Large and ample, fully furnished, With the trophies of your prowess; And your lives shall be a blessing And make happy all around you. From your wigwam shall your children Go from under your instruction, ; From your wise and noble counsel. Go to help and be a blessing To all peoples and all nations.” Thus there came to Indianola From the heart of the Great Spirit Words of cheer and admonition. Words directing him to action. Then he wakened from his dreaming Started up and looked around him, Looked in vain to see the maiden. Wondered whence had come the message; Saw the stars above him shining. Heard the crickets round him singing. Then returned he to his people. Called together all his warriors. Told them of his revelation Cf the tall and fair Simpsonia, She. the loveliest of maidens; Told them of the spirit’s message. Of the words of admonition. Told them of his plan and purpose Straight to win the fair Simpsonia. PART II. After ranv days the warrior. The brave chieftain Indianola Bore the lovely maiden homeward O’er the fair and sunlit prairies. Where the rivers broad and mighty. From its lake the Mississippi, From the mountains the Missouri, Gently sweep through prairie grasses Mightv serpents of the North-land. Soon he met his tribe reioicing. Loudly chanted they his praises; Saw the beauty of Simpsonia Deeolv loved the noble maiden, I oved her as one sent from Heaven By the grace of the Great Spirit, Fairest blossom of the prairies.

HE following report of the student and faculty committee, called for the purpose of forming a plan of co-operative government, was adopted by the student body of Simpson college in the spring term of 1906: “We recommend that there shall be constituted an advisory board, to be known as the College Council, which shall be formed as follows: Three members from each of the undergraduate classes; one member from the Academy; one from the school of business and one from the con- servatory of music, to be selected by ballot by their respective organizations at their first meetings each fall team. The president of the college shall be ex officio a member of the council, and there shall be two members appointed by the faculty, one from their own membership and one from the instructors; all to hold office until their successors arc elected. At their first meeting, which shall be called by the president of the college, the council shall organize by the election of a president and secretary, whose duties shall be those attached to these offices in deliberative bodies generally. The council shall meet in regular session on the 2nd, 6th and 10th Saturdays of each term, and in such special meetings as shall be called by the president of the council. It shall be in order at any meeting of the council for any member to present for discussion any matter pertaining to the good order of the school. The council shall report from time to time to the faculty, such matters as they think should be called to the attention of the faculty, with their recommendation in the premises. When eight of the students members and two of the faculty members concur in the order, the council shall have authority to send for any student, or any member of the faculty, to give evidence in regard to any alleged offence of any student against good morals, good manners, or the order and discipline of the school. At each regular meeting of the council, the following questions shall be asked: 1. Is any change desired in the rules for the government of the school? 2. Arc there any communications from the faculty ? 3. Are there any complaints, first, of students regarding their treatment by citizens, second, of citizens regarding the conduct of students ? 4. Is any student accused of gross impropriety of conduct ? 5. Is there any student to whom the expression of the admonition or sympathy of the council might prove helpful ? 6. Is there any other matter that should be presented for considera- tion ?” SENIOR mtors. COLORS: Green and White. FLOWER: While Carnation. OFFICERS. President—H. W. WHITE. Secretary—Bess Baird.

Juniors so proud and stately, Sophomores who romp sedately, Freshmen arrived so lately. Seniors are best. t I Like the quickening warmth of Springtime Was a token of His favor From the Master of All Living. So, in marriage celebration Sang they chants to fair Simpsonia, Beat the tom-tom in their gladness. Loudly shouted through the night-time Till the prowling grey-wolf, hiding In the gloomy moonlight shadows. Slunk away in craven terror. Till the owlet, hooting dismal. In the alders by the brooklet Ceased his crying melancholy. Listened to the warriors shouting. But the oft-rejected suitor Dwelling in the northern valley. Where the shallow sluggish river Dully chafes against his mud-banks. Young Dcs Moines, the haughty chieftain. Rich in beads and belts of wampum. Owner of a thousand ponies, Still he loved the fair Simpsonia, Hated still her noble husband. So he called his braves about him. Spake in words of fire his purrose: “Let us bring the fair Simpsonia From the Southland to our wigvr-s. For with her will come the blessing Of the Manitou, Great Spirit.” With a shout they heard his project. With a shout of wild approval. In the night they crossed the prairies. Down the great trail of Rock Island, Rode in silence through the valleys Till they heard the wedding tumult. Till they saw the flickering torchlight Piercing arrow-like the shadows. Then with haughty stride their chieftain Stepped into the torchlight circle. Spoke in scornful tones his challenge. “Why this insolent rejoicing? I am come to claim Simpsonia. Rich am I in beads and wampum. Ponies have I without number; She shall lodge in deerskin wigwams Decked in beads of many colors As should dwell a chieftain’s daughter. What have such as you to offer, You, a people without wampum? You, a poor and cowardly people?” With a bound the noble warrior, Champion of the fair Simpsonia, Sprang to meet his proud assailant. Grappled with him on the hill side. While the warriors of both nations Stood about in silence circle. Looked with wonder at the fury Of the strife between the chieftains. Long they wrestled, panting, writhing, ■t Mighty limbs in splendid motion; Furious and hot the conflict, Till at last young Indianola Hurled his conquered focman from him. Heavily the great Des Moines fell. Motionless and still he lay there. And his people raised him quickly. Bore him northward through the darkness O’er the blazed trail of Rock Island, While the shouts of joy pursued them, Songs of triumph in the night-time Glory to the conquering chieftain. And the maiden, fair Simpsonia, Ministered to Indianola Till, refreshed, he joined the war-song. And resumed the merry making. And full many noble warriors Offered gifts unto the maiden; Said, “Oh, beautiful Simpsonia, In your loveliness we greet you. Take our gifts of beads and wampum. May they be of some good service For the raising of your wigwam And the comfort of your people.” So they offered to Simpsonia All the best of their possessions; Many good and noble warriors Ever honored by Simpsonia And revered as benefactors. Acres broad they gave her freely. Hunting lands and verdant meadows; With good w ill they worked together. Built the spacious wigwam “Bluebird”, Blue in color, like the heavens. Thus with joy and merry making Was begun the happy union Of the warrior Indianola And the maiden, fair Simpsonia. THE END. T. Bently Throckmorton, Chariton, Iowa. Eunora Maxson, Chicago, Zete.

And what need of saying more? Yet. there is a certain charm that comes to us when we medi- tate upon great things familiar to us all. So I know, there- fore, that it will be with a feeling of pleasure that we will peruse together the wonderful story of the KI-YIS. On andlxrfore the night of January 25, 1900. many omens and great prodigies were seen in the heavens. There were dire signs upon the earth. Many saw visions, and prophesied of great things about to be. Upon this evening, amid a shower of stars and rubbers, there came into being a full grown Minerva from the forehead of Zeus—the Kallonian Society. And with a voice of many thunders their war cry rang across the campus and arose to the shimmering stars. And it was proclaimed to the world that a mighty thing had happened; an event to which, in the history of the world, only the first sweeping of the sun’s rays across its surface, or the coming of man, could be compared. Those who expected great things from the KI-YIS were not dis- appointed. But as every great world movement must fight its way forward through the broadness of its principles and by the fitness of its purpose, so even the KI-YIS were forced to arise through difficulties. For years they were as those who wander homeless in a mighty wilderness, or as a great people seeking for a land of permanent abode. Sore of foot and weary, yet hopeful and determined, they wandered from place to place. A detailed account of their different migrations would be monotonous. It is sufficient to say that a vast hope was theirs, and some great destiny seemed to urge them on, until at last they came, as into the promised, into their present hall. Here for the first time they met their sisters, and it was given them to know, as they looked upon them, that throughout all eternity they had been destined for each other. Someone has truthfully said, “Beyond the Alps are the KI-YIS.” And as ancient Greece was nurtured in its literary attain- ments by the beauty of its scenery, so the Kallonians have been inspired by the beauty and sublimity of the Alps. Thus situated, it is not to be wondered at that their programs have attained a high eminence of literary merit. They are now spending the best year in the history of their organization. Every man in the society is a thoroughly loyal KI-YI. Those who are kind enough to visit them are not content until they have repeated their visit many times. The best compliment they ever received was, “The KI YIS do things.” Wc would give a cata- logue of their victories, but that would be vain-glorious. Besides, space would not permit. (. ,rilcr?.c.an be no more fitting close for this history than to repeat the so eauti u words of the KI YI benediction, which has brought so often o ic weary eyes of those who live near the campus, sweet, peaceful slumber as its strains have arisen, like music, upon the evening air: Ki Yi, Ki Yi, Ki Bifcty Bin, lptan. OU want to know about the Alpians ? Well, we are just glad of the opportunity to tell you a little about our fun and work. Of course, our main object is work, but did you ever see a bunch of college girls doing “all work and no play”? There is no doubt but that we have fun, fun, fun—O, just piles of it, every Friday; and we have fines, fines, fines—O, just piles of them every Friday. But that is no one’s fault, of course. You just cant help laughing or screaming when a chair breaks down with a visitor, or a table leg falls off and spills the secretary’s books, or some one puts gum behind your ear or you see some one voting for herself. It’s too funny, and you just have to laugh—and get fined ! Just as an individual grows wiser with age, so do we. For a few years even the Preps were found among our ranks. Our programs then were quite popular, as was evidenced by the crowded hall every Friday. After a few years we decided—with the consent of the faculty—to become an under- graduate society. Here we did better work than before, as was shown by our victories in debates, contests, etc. In 1904 we became a girls’ society, and are today the jolliest band of girls you ever dreamed of. Just come up and visit us some Friday afternoon, and see for yourself. We can surely please you, for we have all sorts of topics on our programs. Some subjects assigned to us require hard work and study in preparation—such as debates, orations, etc., some require orig- inality and wit—such as “Boys a Necessary Nuisance , The Faculty”, “Tests , etc. During the past year we have added greatly to the appearance of our room by refurnishing it. It was in this that we tested our motto, “There are no Alps , to its full. Yet we came off victorious, and as a result we now have a beautiful room. Our membership has always kept up well, and today our ranks are full and running over. —L. F. S. Cberett AST winter Professor Baker assigned one of her classes a reading in Vol. I 1, Grote’s History of Greece. In the front of the book was written, “Philomethian Literary Society, Dcs Moines Conference Seminary”. Looking farther I found that Grote’s History of Greece in twelve volumes was presented to “Bluebird” Seminary by this society. By investigating various musty volumes I have found the facts con- cerning the Philomcthians to be as follows: In 1865 a few young men who were attending the Dcs Moines Confer- . ence Seminary organized a literary society which they named the Philometh- ian. In 1867, the year in which the Des Moines Conference Centennary Col- lege was organized, the society changed its name to Everett, in honor of Edward Everett, the great orator, who had then been dead but two years. Soon after this the society moved into a room in the new building, which is now called “The Old Chapel , and there they have met regularly ever since. Up to the year 1895 the society was prosperous, but in that year they became entangled in embarrassing alliances with the Smithsonians, a society which had existed since 1876. But in 1901 the Everetts emerged from the entanglements.of the Smithsonians, became again a gentleman’s society, and placed themselves at the head of literary societies at Simpson College. The history of the Everetts could not be correctly written without some reference to the Zetalethean Society. It, like the Everett Society, came into being almost as soon as the college, and almost from the beginning there has been a peculiar affinity between the Zetes and the Everetts, which has even been known, in some individual “cases”, to have increased after ’varsity days, and to have continued throughout life. Our Alumni have almost without exception become stalwart useful citi- zens, and among them arc numbered the most prominent Alumni of Simpson. We have been connected with the college longer, and have won more honor- able places in oratory and debate than any other society. Nor have these all been in the past; in recent years we have not failed to sustain our past reputa- tion. Rather have the accomplishments of our predecessors spurred us on to harder labor. But our real work is not done in contests. The real work is the preparation which is accomplished in the regular Friday evening sessions. Not least among the elements that make a successful Everett program is the Parlia- mentary Drill. When Yock ’ rises to a point of order, and Golisch is in the chair, we all know that a parliamentary scrap is coming. A familiar term around Simpson is “Evercttism’’. We cannot de- nne the term properly or completely in this treatise, but suffice it to say that tor forty years Everettism has been training men to think, and to express their thoughts clearly, forcibly, entertainingly and easily before public audiences. —Ora Claud Kerney. 2stfaletf)ean mm NCE upon a time, many generations of Alumni past, there grew up. cradled by Simpsonia’s care, a daughter winning the hearts of many, whom her fond mother, foreseeing her brilliant intellectual future named Zetalethea. Early this Goddess Girl gathered about _____________ her many loyal admirers and supporters, who charmed by heT bcauty and intellect, delighted to fight her battles and sound the praises of her name. , But reverses of fortune come even to the most favored, and there came a dark time to Zetalethea when rivals threatened to supplant her, friends became false, supporters failed her and she was left with a little band of seven adopted daughters to uphold her honor and perpetuate her name. It was then that her brother.- Everett, with his devoted knights rallied to her assistance, camped round her Hall and encouraged her defenders with friendly words of cheer. Ere long the dark clouds lifted, but forever after Zetalethea cherished the friendship there cemented with her brother, and the names of her- seven loyal daughters are changclessly inscribed on the tablets of her heart. Since that time of testing the days have been all fair to Zetalethea, and prosperity has crowned her every undertaking. The years have brought her wisdom and added grace, and a host of loyal followers. Many times have they won the palm for her in oratory, and many times have adorned her brow with forensic laurels. They have made the owl her insignia, the symbol of literary merit, her name beloved by all her friends, and terrible to her rivals. Yearly she sends many of her daughters from her to fight the world- battle with the power acquired by her teaching, and in their success is reflected the glory of her wisdom. And yet her support docs not wane, the vacant places being constantly filled by other diciples of Zetalethea, who delight to make her Hall beautiful with her gathered trophies, mystic symbols and the portraits of her departed daughters. Here too they often- times gather in social converse with their brother Everett and his Knights, perchance to merrily play with them the Game of Hearts, or in the garden- grove to mingle their gay laughter with the tinkling fountain. For Zeta- lethea and Everett have pleasure in social joys, and when spring days have made cruising pleasant, Zetalethea does not hesitate to trust herself and her ladies on a Houseboat even on the dark Styx, with her gallant brother as helmsman. Literary fame and social pleasure have made Zetalethca’s name beloved, but more than all things else that have made her prosperous is the unswerving loyalty of her daughters. Since the days of the Loyal Seven their example has been the model of every Zetalethcan. To recognize the merit of all, ut to seek the welfare and interest of one, permitting no personal feeling to distort the vision—this is the watchword of every Zctalethean, and the power that has made Zetalethea a bright star in Simpson’s crown. —P.

This they organized under the name of “The Lowell Lyceum”. That the earnest students who organized this society laid a good foundation, is shown by its past record and present success. All honor to those who builded so well for the future. Many members of the year ’03-’04, who are now members of the un- dergraduate societies, will remember the spirited rivalry between the Pyrenian and Lowell societies during that year: This rivalry probably ended in the debate with Des Moins College that spring, when two Lowells and one Pyren- ian won distinction as debators. Twenty-six members of these societies es- corted their representatives to Des Moines. United, as one. in cheering the team on to victory, they flaunted the red and gold. As years have passed other societies have been organized and have fallen but the Lowells, though they have passed through many trials and have at times been almost crushed, are still the anchor of Simpson Academy. They seem even more determined than ever to do their best. How fresh in the minds of the present members is the recent conflict, in which they were deprived of a hall; but how they showed their grit, and per- severance by not letting this hinder their prosperity. Ever strong, ever hope- ful, they look forward to the finishing of the new library building, when per- haps they will be granted a new hall. This year the Lowells pledged twenty- five dollars to the Simpson endowment fund. The large membership roll, and the length of the meetings, indicate that the gatherings arc both enjoyable and profitable. In the years to come we who are now proud to be called Lowells, ex- pect to look back with the fondest memories to the trials through which we have passed, and the pleasures we enjoyed, while in the society, while we, like the many before us, will be making practical use of the knowledge and experi- ence gained there. We expect to be stronger men and women for having been members of the society, and expect the old world to be a little better because of the discipline we have had there. To those who may be its members in the future we wish to say, “Be true to your society, put your best into the work you do, and it will do much for you”. —L. M. H. $tman. ii c s HE name Pierian came from Pieria, which is a region of Macedonia, north of Thessely, and in legend said to have been the birthplace of Orpheus. It is also said to have been the retreat of the Nine Muses. Near this place is a mountain, then named Pierus, and at the base of this mountain was the famous Pierian spring, which, on account of its magic waters, gave inspiration to the Muses. So from this legend comes our motto, “A little learning is a dangerous thing, drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring.” The Pierian Literary Society was organized in January, 1903. Many of the Academic students, wishing to take up literary work, found that there was no room in our sister society, the Lowells, so a number of them met and drew up the constitution and by-laws of the Pierian Society. The constitution, signed by twenty-five students, was presented to the faculty and accepted, and the society was permitted to organize. Permission was secured from the Kallonians to meet in their hall every Friday afternoon. The hall was then down town. Here the society did excellent work while it existed, but as the original members passed into Fresh- men, the society was allowed to die. In January, 1907, twenty-five students of the Academy petitioned the faculty to be permitted to reorganize the Pierian Society, and permission was granted. Since that time the society has met regularly in the English room. The society now has a large membership, and the outlook for success is bright. The spirit of unity and enthusiasm prevails, and where these are found, success is also found. —Colder Lawrence. e N the northeast corner of the campus beneath the shady maples, stands the conservatory building, a handsome and commodious structure of brick—the home of some 350 music students who have gathered here during the past year. Many arc the pleasant memories that come to mind as. now at the close of the year, we turn our back on her closed doors and set our faces homeward. We remember the many hours of hard study in those practice rooms, and the many lessons with our careful teachers, who took such a personal interest in each one of us. We remember those pleasant evenings at the club when we were scared to little bits as we heard the frightened efforts of someone at the piano or violin, or watched the quaking knees and heard the trembling tones of someone trying to sing, and then that terrible huch came over the room which only comes when someone has for- gotten, and we were to come next on the program. Yes, we remember those evenings. Then there were those jolly glee-club practices, the many rehear- sals of the orchestra and the inspiring rehearsals of the oratorios, the Creation and St. Paul. When in the days before us, we turn in the quiet of the evening from the worry and cares of the day’s labor, to the comfortisg strains of our piano or take the violin from the case, or refresh ourselves with those songs we used to sing—then, as the peaceful influence of Chopin and Beethoven enters our hearts, we dream again of the memories of the dear days spent at Simpson, and wish her joy and prosperity. Con erbatorp. jttustc Club. VERY graduate of the Simpson Conservatory of Music, who looks back on his college life, recalls, among many other pleasant memories, his associations in that famous organization, the Simpson Musical Club. He remem- bers how from the first the Musical Club was his goal, and after his admittance to it, his pride. How well he recalls his first attempt to play, when he fell all over himself! How well he recalls his instructor, who, he learned after a few lessons, was really human! The Musical Club’s first and most important mission is to train the ambitious student to play or sing with self-confidence and ease, to be nat- ural in his art, having acquired it. The player is the object of a penetrat- ing scrutiny at his first appearance. All eyes are fixed upon him with a mute, but powerful, observance. And it is the realization of this terrible fact that makes him awkard, his hands heavy, his muscles rigid, his fingers stiff and his whole attitude repugnant to that desired. Yet with each succeeding appearance he gradually acquires the mastery which he has sought. The home of the Musical Club is Edgerton Hall, in the Simpson Con- servatory of Music, which Pa Simpson built several years ago, in the north- east corner of his big yard. Edgerton Hall is the largest room in the Con- servatory, and in it the Musical Club meets every Friday night. Pa Simp- son made the law that no two Musics should occupy the same practice room at the same time, a law which has been kept, more or less, ever since. Visit the Musical Club and you will see a bunch of people whose chief physical characteristics are sharp cars and well muscled hands. Play a melody over, and a Music will reproduce it in his Mozart book. His ears have been trained. They recognize in the song of the pea-wer the minor third, and early distinguish the first sounds of Spring. You observe several members of the club, either rubbing their hands or lifting their fingers indi- vidually, tugging extra hard to lift number four; they are practicing away from the instrument. Your eyes now behold the girl who passed you yes- terday—that awfully cold day—without speaking. She was afraid of tak- ing cold, which would have been disastrous to her vocal practice and her near approaching dates—to sing. You thought she was rude, but she didn’t mean it that way. Here, in the Musical Club, as her beautiful voice is uplifted in sweet melody, you notice that in no way is she troubled with immobility of the mouth. Her mouth is wide open, and so are your ears. Your eyes start towards her, with your heart a close second, and you for- give her a thousand times for not speaking yesterday. 1 he Musical Club has direct communication with Berlin, where at present two of the faculty members are completing a two years’ course of study. Through them all Musical events of note happening in Berlin are brought to the attention of the club members, which proves of immense profit to them.

Items From a Diary of the War With Spain, by Lieutenant West. San Francisco, Cal., July 22, 1898. T 8:00 o’clock a. m. we struck camp at the Presidio and loaded down with knapsack, blanket roll, haversack, canteen, rifle, etc., the regiment marched to the dock at the foot of Fulsom street. The day was warm and I felt that carrying fifty pounds of equipment for four miles over the asphalt pavement of San Fran- cisco, was breaking us in for tropical service with a vengeance. We ate dinner on the wharf, then went on board the S. S. Rio dc Jancro and were assigned bunks. Crowds of people thronged the wharves to bid us good bye and wish us ventis secundis. The steamer has a Chinese crew and they are busy storing baggage on board; there is one redeeming feature about the Chinaman, he is industrious. All enlisted men of the regiment arc assigned quarters between decks. 1'he bunks are arranged in tiers, a thousand or more, and arc provided with new mattresses. Everything appears to be clean, but the smell is enough to make one sea sick, tied to the dock. There is always a disagreeable odor in the hold of a ship, but this savors of China Town. At 5 :00 P. M. we pulled out into the bay and anchored for the night. July 23. Some of our officers remained on shore during the night and about 9:00 A. M. they came out in a launch and brought a few sacks of mail which had just arrived. I received my share of letters, and we were all glad to hear from home and friends one more before leaving, for we shall get no more mail for six weeks. At 10:00 o’clock we weighed anchor and headed for the Golden Gate. Hundreds of friends followed in launches to wish us a pleasant voyage and a safe return; the wharves and shore were lined with thousands of people cheer- ing, and waving flags and handkerchiefs; the guns in the fort fired a part- ing salute as we passed out of the harbor, and the shore of our home land soon sank below the horizon. I shall never forget the last sight of land as we slowly steamed out upon the mighty deep. Supper was served at 6:00 o’clock, but I noticed that very few came for their share of stewed beef, potatoes, onions, (the soldiers’ trio), stewed prunes, bread and coffee. Most of the men had thrown their dinner away, and I venture to say that there will be few unpleasant dreams due to over- loaded stomachs. This afternoon as I sat on deck I found myself looking back toward home and thinking of friends and loved ones, then I looked forward and wondered what the future had in store for us; yet I am glad that God in His wisdom has shrouded the future from our sight and we arc only called upon to do our duty today and let tomorrow provide for tomorrow. July 27, 1898. 1 Private Jenks of Co. I”, died this morning of pneumonia and was buried at sea. The boat hove to during the funeral; the flag had been placed at half mast and when three volleys were fired over his watery grave, there were few dry eyes among his comrades. No grave stone marks his resting place and it is sad indeed to leave him here. We passed the Mariposa from Sydney today. She stopped and we placed aboard her our mail for ‘Frisco. The Mariposa had not learned of the victory of our forces at Santiago and her passengers cheered heartily when informed of it. Sunday, July 31. When I arose this morning and came on deck we were slowly entering the harbor at Honolulu. The morning was clear and warm. Everything on shore looked green and inviting; already the soft breeze wafted to us the sweet scent of flowers and fruits. Yes, right there lay dear old Honolulu at the base of old Punchbowl and Tantalus mountains, almost completely hidden in the palms and tamarinds. In the growing light of the rising sun we saw three other transports lying in the harbor loaded with troops for Manila. Their decks were crowded with soldiers watching us enter. How the sight thrilled us as cheer after cheer went up, and voice answered voice from ship to ship. We were kindly treated and feasted by the people of the city. I went to church in the evening and enjoyed the service very much. August 1. Today we were given a most excellent dinner by the generous hearted people of the city of Honolulu in the palace grounds. August 2. We cut loose from the wharf last night and anchored outside the har- bor. Early this morning, in company with the transport Pennsylvania, which has on board the 1 st Montana Infantry, we started again on our long vovage to the Philippines. The hulls of the ships in the harbor slowly sank below the horizon, the shore of Oahu grew dim in the distance and before us stretched away the trackless deep. I feci just like leaving home.” said one, Didn’t they treat us grand?” remarked another, and such was the consensus of opinion among those on board. August 9. We have just crossed the 180th degree of Lon. W.. and are now in the eastern hemisphere. So we had no Monday. August 8th. as we turn our calendars ahead one day. It is odd to have a whole day thus taken out of our lives, but if we live to return we have two days of the same date, so it does not matter much after all. This experience recalls to my mind Poe’s three Sundays in a week. August 10. We had an inspection of arms and equipments today and as a result of their unsatisfactory condition I see quite a number of men working at their rifles. We are now 2577 miles from Honolulu. Our bearings, 20 N. 156:33 E. August 18. Lat. 20: 02N. Lon. 138:47 E. Distance from San Francisco 5670 miles, and from Manila. 1347 miles. August 22. Sea calm, gentle breeze blowing and land in sight. How glad we are to see terra firma once more. August- 23. We are sailing along the west shore of the Island of Luzon. We have orders to have everything in readiness to move ashore as soon as we reach Manila, and I am wondering what our friend the enemy will have to say about it. August 24, 1898. I was on guard last night; about 3:00 o’clock this morning we reached the mouth of Manila Bay where we lay until daylight, not caring to enter in the darkness, as Dewey did. I could see the flickering lights from two light houses as we rolled about on the waves outside the harbor. Soon after daybreak, we entered the bay and soon we came in sight of the many great warships lying about in the harbor; then the white iron roofs of the city of Manila came into view. We heard no booming of cannon, every- thing appeared quiet. With a pair of field glasses we made out the graceful folds of the stars and stripes flying over the city. Nothing doing”.

ALL came back to me, as I sat in my office and glanced at the wall where hung my diploma. How well I remembered the dear old school from which it came. I shall never forget the scenes of those days—those dear old days. I shall never forget that fatal day when first came the sad news that foot-ball at our college was no more. It was read by the president in chapel, and at the reading there fell over the room a profound silence. For ten long minutes the silence lasted. Then there came a low moaning, and as the moments passed the moaning increased, until cries of anguish were heard from all parts of the room. But there was one brave student whose heart did not overpower his prudence. Quickly he stepped to the platform and with a few strong words urged his fellow-students to overcome their feelings. His words were effectual. With a great effort all stopped weeping, and as they passed from the room there could have been seen on the faces of many strained and pathetic smiles. For days the subject of football was not discussed among them. But this could not last forever. One day an ill-omened man gave to one of the students a newspaper— one containing an account of a great game of football. The ice was at last broken. Again were the students overpowered with grief. I he reali- zation of what they had lost came to them more forcibly than ever before. Never again could they play football for their college. Perhaps never again even see a game. Perhaps—but ah—they could not bear to speak of it. The football heroes, of the past, gradually pined away. One by one they grew weaker, and one by one quietly passed away. Their fellow- students watched them thus depart with wavering hearts and ever increasing dread. What, at last, would come of it? How would it all end? But this question only trembled upon their lips—they dared not ask it. They wandered aimlessly about the campus at all times of the day. Sometimes they reached their class rooms—more often not. The teachers wore a haunted look; and when the students were absent from classes they did not notice it. Still a few, from force of habit, haunted the tennis courts. But 'twas a very few, and they sent the balls aimlessly, and when they were lost for- got to look for them. Even the citizens of the town passing, shook their heads sadly and said nothing. Soon the rest of the students began to follow in the paths of their departed heroes. Gradually the number fell away, until at last only a few of the faculty remained. They were pale and haggard, and one by one they vanished—none knew where. Then the buildings began to crumble away. Brick after brick and stone after stone fell, and returned to dust. With anguish I awaited the disap- pearance of the last beloved fragments. Suddenly there was a shock, and I knew that the last had come. Dare I gaze upon it as it left me? Ah yes—I must—I must—and in my anguish I opened my eyes to gaze upon—an old class mate whom I had not seen for months. He was shaking my chair vigorously. Wake up. there. I’ve come all the way down here just to see you. and you sit there sleeping away as soundly as if I were in Halifax.” “Well—I have been asleep haven’t I? That’s one on me. Might)' glad to sec you; where have you been all this time anyway?” Oh, I’ve been traveling all around. Say, last month I went clear out to visit our old school for a few days, and do you know, I saw the greatest game of football there that I’ve seen in years.” “Football—why—why—I thought they abolished it out there long ago.” “Abolished. Why man alive. You are up-to-date, aren’t you? That was long ago, and only for a short time—as an experiment, you know. What have you been doing all this time? Dreaming? They’ve had some great football out there, .and the school is growing up like wildfire.” “Yes, I laughed, “I guess I have been dreaming.” And I heaved a long sigh of unutterable relief. —Jessie Schee, '08. jHcasttreei. w ; mrn - I was passing down the street A tall proud girl I chanced to meet.

(With apologies to Kipling.) kNCE upon a time a Fellow had a Case. This was noi an unusual occurrence in the Locality; but it was very Severe. It was upon a Girl who lived in a large Structure. This Structure was called the “Hall Of The Ladies”. No one stayed there but Ladies, and one Man who let the Ladies in perchance they stayed out until past the Hour of Ten. The Fellow wished to make a Hit on the Girl. Therefore he decided to give her some Flowers. But he had no Money. He was in Despair; but the next Day it Snowed, and he got a Job. The Job was shoveling Snow. For this he got a Return of Seventy Cents, with which he purchased Eight Carnations, with which to make his Hit. In the Evening, after Dark, the Fellow went to Her Place of Residence, namely the Hall of the Ladies, with his Eight Carnations. As he approached he felt a Trembling about the Knees. He decided he lacked the Gall to Hand them to the Girl, so he thought he would Lay them at Her Window. In his Excitement he forgot where her Room was, and laid them on the Ground by the Sill of the Window of the Room occupied by the Man who let the Ladies in, perchance they remained Out after the Hour of Ten. He Tapped on the Window, and when he saw it slowly Raise he Turned and Ran. The next Day he got a Shock. He saw one of the Carnations in the Button-hole of the Man who let the Ladies in. perchance they stayed Out after the Hour of Ten. The Fellow was Sore, and accordingly asked Another Girl to go to the Basketball Game the next Night. This made the Girl Sore. So they were Both Sore, and they Never Made Up. The Tail of the Tale of a Case. —B. E. S. 08. ittp jfrtenti By Louis Watson. HIS is the story of my Friend. In it is the web of many stories; here also mingle and blend into one the histories of many lives. It is of myself and it is true; but it would be equally true from the tongues of many thou- sands. Happy were those days when my Friend and 1 were friendsT Our lives mingled like the waters of two united rivers, and in our friendship there was a deep and quiet charm like the music of rippling waves. Often at eventide we strolled together in the forest, and as dusk deepened into darkness we would sit by the seashore near the water and gaze across the bay at the mountains in the distance. The sea in deep humility laved their feet; upon their crests the snow glistened in the moonlight; and their images floated in the deep, dark waters of the bay. As we sat. my Friend would speak in low pleasant tones, and his voice seemed to expand until it became a part of the heavens above us. of the mountains and the ocean. His eyes would fill with a new. strange light—a light unseen in the eyes of other men. Such eyes as were his! Beneath my gaze the snarling wolf would retreat into the forest, and the hungry, couching tigress fail to spring; but I have seen the wild mountain eagle perch upon the shoulder of my Friend, and the lion come from the jungle and. like a kitten, play at his feet. One evening, we were together, and heard the howling of wolves in chase. The underbrush parted and a young fawn appeared. Trembling, it gazed into the face of my Friend: confidingly it approached and licked his hand. In a few moments its pursuers burst into view, but in his presence they became confused. Ashamed and humiliated they sneaked away into the gathering darkness. Such was the power of my Friend, and with him my happiness was unbounded. But alas, one day I grew angry, and without cause. Hot words rushed into my mouth, and in the bitterness of my wrath I uttered diem. Again and again I cursed him with stinging, bitter oaths. My Friend looked upon me in astonishment, and in his eyes was the shadow of a great sorrow. With outstretched hands he approached me. but I turned from him and commanded him to leave me. Most bitterly did I curse him. Slowly he left me. and I heard the sound of his footsteps die in the distance. But my rage like the dreadful forest fire, was without restraint. For many days and nights I trod the forest without sleep; but at last 1 iell, exhausted, and as I slept my enemy came by night and fastened himself upon me. When I awoke he was slowly crushing me. 1 tried to tear him from me, but in vain. As my senses were failing. I dimly remembered my 1-riend. and wondered whether he would come, and if he did. would he shed tears, and care if I perished? I heard a step by my side. A warm hand was placed on my cold brow. I felt the form of my foe leaving me. and like a thing ashamed, its long, dark form slip! away into the underbrush. But my anger revived within me. I would not now open my eyes ancl meet the gaze of my preserver. For a long lime the warm hand remained upon my brow. Hot tears fell upon my face. But my rage increased and I thought that I must arise and slay him. My fingers burned to grasp his throat, and the hatred of death was in my heart. Slowly I felt the hand withdrawn, and again heard the dying of reluctant footsteps in the distance. I resolved to be never thus caught by my foe again. Feigning sleep. I would lie awake in the evening, and as the two fiery beads appeared, accompanied by an ominous rustic extending yards back into the underbrush. I would fasten my gaze upon them and they would recede. When I had once conquered. I no longer felt any fear. Careless I roamed the forest, and slept with indifference where night befell me. I would let my enemy approach, and even fasten himself upon me. and laugh in contempt, as in seeming fear he would retreat from me. Occasionally I would see upon a distant hill a mournful figure with a reluctant tread, but from it I always turned in wrath. In the evening with my eyes I would beat back my enemy into the forest, and rejoice in my strength. Before long there arose war and great disturbance among the nations. My people warred against their ancient foes. The spirit of my ancestors burned within me. and the thirst for battle was hot in my blood. I joined the assembling hosts. As far as the eye could sec were the tents of my people, and their banners floated from the hills. But we had pitted ourselves against powerful foes, and the struggle was for supremacy. Then was a lime when the passions of men burned deep, and the look in their eyes was terrible to see. When at last the two armies closed, it was like a tournament of storms; the shock of tornadoes, a mighty contending of the elements. The frenzy of battle came upon me. That day the strength of a multitude was mine, and my sword was the mightiest among my people. But all day long where the conflict was hottest, I saw a sorrowful figure, without weapons, administering impartially to friend or foe. to the wounded and the dying. That night I dreamed that there were two Hells and that they had warred together, and an angel of God had ministered to the suffering and perishing. When I awoke, I arose and cursed and laughed in contempt, as I saw my foe receding hastily from me. This was the beginning of battles. I was chosen commander of the army, and there followed awful days of fighting—days when blood was more plentiful than water. Hell raged upon the earth, and the tumult rose to Heaven. We heeded not the lightnings above us. nor the trembling of the earth beneath us. Our joy was in our wrath. The use of the scythe was forgotten, men reaped with the sword. High, high above the confusion and tumult often arose the voice of a sweet singer. It floated like the lark’s from the heavens, and sang of peace, the fireside and love among men. I know not whether another than 1 heard the song. But this I do know, that often when the voice sang sweetest and clearest, a bowed figure would raise his face to the sky, and with the countenance of one who had gazed into Heaven, turn again to the suffering. And the battle waged ceaselessly on. That night I seemed to stand by a storm tossed ocean, whose billows leaped into the sky, and whose thunders reverberated to the poles. Never was there a sea such as I saw in my vision. The mountains of the earth were not a refuge from its fury. But as I listened a voice seemed to float over the deep and rise in grandest melody above the storm. The face of the sea was changed. Its thunder became like the tones of an organ, rich, low and deep. The billows flowed in majestic rhythm. Music, like a mist, arose from their surface, and all the powers of the deep blended to accompany the singer. Heaven and earth tingled with the music. The morning stars paused to listen, and the noises of Hell were hushed. But the sound of a trumpet shattered the vision, as an arrow a priceless vase, and I arose to fight. Gradually we drove our enemies back into the mountains, and they were forced to the crags and the cliffs for protection. One night when we were encamped in a wilderness, fear came upon the army. The moon was ghastly in the heavens. The men were weary with long days of fighting, and worn for lack of food. They huddled together in silent, trembling groups. Rumor spread quickly among them. Panic was descending upon the army. I became enraged and cursed them. I commanded them to light their campfires and to cat. But they would not obey. In my anger I was drawing my sword against my own people, when I saw a bowed figure without weapons entering camp. Silently and slowly it passed from group to group, and with weary tread, from the camp into the darkness beyond. Soon I heard a song among the men. One by one the camp-fires were started. Jokes were passed, and laughter rippled in the evening air. When the men had dined they gathered around the fires and spoke of the home-going at the close of the war. Nor was the home-going long delayed, for the war soon ended. 1 returned again to the forest. How pleasant it was to stroll among the trees, to stand by the bank of some swift flowing stream, or to gaze far out across the ocean. How swiftly the days blended into months, and the months into years. One night I was astonished that it was actually with difficulty that I had repelled my foe. The next day I saw my Friend, but my rage grew hot within me. I sought him to slay him, but I found him not. Then I cursed him as I had never cursed him before. Again time, like the strong flow of a deep, mysterious river, sped swiftly on. Thenceforth I saw my Friend no more; but my enemy, every day. I now knew that my power was failing, while he was gaining strength, that I the victor would soon be the vanquished. I shrank from the conflict. My hands had become palsied as with years, and I was aged in my prime. 1 he sword had slipt from my fingers. I now used a staff. As 1 journeyed through the forest I heard a queer gliding sound that made my blood run cold. But I was determined to repell him as long as a spark of my former strength remained. At last that awful night arrived; yet sweeter is its memory than the charm of rarest music. The sun set behind a dark, lowering cloud, and the sky was filled with awful streaks of wrath. And in the forest no sound was heard save that of a stealthy form among the leaves. As I paused for the night I knew that the struggle was on. In a few moments the massive head appeared, then yard upon yard of dark, glistening form. I summoned all my shattered strength, and tried to throw into my eyes all their ancient power of command. For a few moments the advancing form faltered, but my uncertain gaze wavered, and on it crept. I was power- less to move. Nearer—nearer.—at last the great head raised, the glisten- ing form bent and encircled my standing body. A mad frenzy of exultation and triumph seemed to run through it. I could scarcely stand beneath the weight, and the pressure was crushing. The great head swayed to and fro above me. then circling in front of me it mocked me with its tongue, and cursed me with its eye. Darkness was falling upon me when I dimly remembered my Friend. I longed to throw myself at his feet and beg him to forgive me. even if he laughed and tormented me as I perished. Again 1 heard a step that brought with it strange visions and pleasant memories. A figure approached, and a hand was laid upon my shoulder. He rebuked not, nor upbraided, only stood and wept. Again I felt the form of my enemy leaving me. and like a thing ashamed the serpent stole away into the darkness. I turned to throw myself at the feet of my savior, but he restrained me. And. friend with friend, we walked away together. Often in the evening as we sit by the seashore, my Friend’s face fills with sorrow. I arise to throw myself at his feet, but he restrains me. and with a smile speaks of pleasant things. If in the day or in the night I hear an old well known rustle I feel no fear, for my friend is by my side. This is the story of my Friend. In it is the web of many stories; here also mingle and blend into one the histories of many lives. It is of myself and it is true, but it would be equally true from the tongues of many thousands. € HERE once was a fellow named White Who certainly thought he was right, He’d call on Miss Baker, To stunts he would take her.

M.. ’08. SF orietp Bcbatr. Mr. President, Honorable Judges, fellow Everzete- Kallalps. Ladies and Gentlemen. I wish to apologize forx appearing before you this evening, but the consuls put me on the program, so it really isn’t my fault. The question for discussion this evening is. Resolved, that Dcs Moines should adopt the Galveston system of city government. In supporting the affirmative it will be necessary for me to take a few premises. In the first place I don't know anything about Dcs Moines myself, and can only tell you what I have read and heard. My honorable opponent goes over there often, and you can see the result. From the papers, and fellows who have been there. I would conclude that Des Moines is badly in need of something. That much is certain. In the second place there are grafters over there. I know this, because there are grafters in Simpson, and Dcs Moines is lots larger than Simpson. Furthermore, they have professional politicians and office-holders over there— at least, I suppose they have, but I didn't have time to read up much on this matter, so I am not certain. But if their most eminent citizens, are a sample of what they have in the line of office-holders. I’m sure they need reform. Honorable Judges, I say that any city which produces such men is certainly wrong somehow. Now this Galveston system is a very successful one. I think it is a government by commissioners, who have the whole business in their hands, but I’m not sure about the fine points. Anyway. Galveston was the dirtiest city in this country before it got washed out, and after the old city government was drowned they look this commissioner system, and not a grafter has been born there since. Now, if this system made a new city out of Galveston, why wouldn’t it do the same for Des Moines ? It certainly would. And besides Galveston there are several other cities. 1 forgot which ones, that have adopted this system, and in every case. Honorable Judges, graft and corruption have disappeared, as far as I have been able to hear. Graft and corruption can find no place in the Galveston system. The commissioners are elected at large, and this deprives the ward Boss of his job. Business men will be elected, and this will deprive the professional office-holder of his job. and there at a blow you have eliminated the two worst elements in the present system. Therefore. Honorable Judges. I would conclude that Des Moines should adopt the Galveston system for the following reasons, which I have proven beyond a reasonable doubt: First, the city needs reform: Second, this system does away with politicians: Third, other cities have been reformed by this means: Fourth, it is the right system to adopt. I think. Negative. Mr. President. Honorable Judges, fellow Lvcrzctckallalps. Ladies and Gentlemen; the puerile and nonsensical remarks of my Honorable opponent were probably designed merely to entertain, but my opponent has misjudged his audience and the Honorable Judges if he thinks that with them mere words will make up for logic. He proved absolutely nothing, and I shall show you in short order that he didn't prove that. I have no fault to find with the way my Honorable opponent stated the question, nor with the way he explained the Galveston system. I guess he put that before you all right, but I don’t know, and he said that he didn’t either. Now, Honorable Judges. I wish to attack my opponent in his premises. Just because he doesn t know anything about Des Moines doesn’t prove that it is a bad city,—he doesn’t know anything about Heaven, either. I'm not saying it is a good city, for I don t know, but he didn't prove that it is bad. His argument about the eminent citizens proves too much. If they are such bad men then there must be something wrong with the Galveston system, for they are its chief supporters. I herefore, as far as my opponent knows, or I know, Des Moines is not a bad city. My opponent said also that there are grafters and politicians there. How docs he know ? I don’t, so how can he ? He knows nothing. Honorable Judges, absolutely nothing, and he has admitted it. But he said there were when he didn’t know; therefore, he is not to be believed. If he sa s there are grafters and politicians there, and he is not to be believed, then there must be no grafters or politicians there. And now where are my opponent s arguments about ward Bosses and office-holders ? Where ever they are, there is a vacuum. And how does my opponent know that business men will be elected under the new system ? I don’t know who would be elected, he don’t and neither do you. My opponent says business men would be elected, and he don’t know anything about it. So the same logic applies here as in regard to grafters and politicians, and business men would not be elected. Now, Honorable Judges, if they have no politicians or grafters, and business men would not be elected, what on earth would they do for a city government ? I suppose my opponent thinks the women could run the government. As I said before. 1 don't know anything about Dcs Motncs or this Galveston system, as I didn’t have time to read up on it before 1 came up here. But what docs my opponent hope to prove by comparing Des Moines with Galveston ? Galveston was a corrupt city, and never would have reformed if it hadn't been half drowned and scared into it. And after all the grafters had been drowned, and the good people had stood up and let the water drip off. they adopted this commissioner system. Of course it worked—it had to. Any kind of government or no government will work after everybody has reformed. So. if as my opponent says, Dcs Moines is corrupt and can’t get along under the present system, why should we believe it would get along all right under any system ? Let the Des Moines river rise and soak up the grafters, and after that any old freak system they want to adopt will work, and other cities will begin to imitate them. But the system wasn’t what cured Galveston, it was the Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, even if my opponent’s premises were true, his inference is a non-sequitor, and the Galveston system would not help Dcs Moines, and so they should not adopt it. But I have shown that his premises are false, so. Honorable Judges where is his argument ? Now, Honorable Judges, I have proven beyond a doubt that my opponent proved nothing, so, remembering that the burden of proof was with him, I do not sec how you can do otherwise than give me the decision !
