bachelor's touring car. Glancy waited until the refreshment hour and then told his plan. The irresistible argument and eloquence of l1is speech will never be forgotten 3 your children study it now in place of Burke's Conciliation Speech . Briefly, his plan was this : the class of '09 was so superior to the rest of the Ameri- cans that it was wrong for them to have to mingle with the vulgar herdn. Glancy had found the Garden of Eden. where every inch of the land was fertile, and where the hills abounded in minerals and precious stones. He proposed that the class go there, establish a government, and live in peace and plenty forever after. Everybody, except Ed Cooper, was delighted with the idea, and it was decided to go then and there. Cooper, at that time reform candidate for mayor of Wayland, said that it wouldn't do at all, but did not give any reasons for his objection. Of course, some had suggestions to make. Mrs. George Lewis, the widow of a former Harvard man, moved that they have woman suffrage. None of the other girls had life enough to second the motion, but Phil Hawley, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up, and, seeing that some motion had been made, seconded it with such prestige, it simply had to go through. After Ben Ela had been elected President and Agnes Rhodes, Vice-presi- dent, the memorable meeting adjourned. By the next summer, the government was established, and the class of '09 was the Be- public of Edin. From this point on, I shall make the history more biographical, for, as Carlyle says, f'Biography is the most universally pleasant and prohtable of all reading. Ben Ela, the man from Charles street, is still President, mainly because of good looks and woman suffrage. Most. of his time is spent in taking vacations and writing poetry. Agnes Rhodes decided, after her first term, that she wanted a more strenuous ,job than that of Vice- presideut, and declined reelection. Since then, she has made herself famous by her lectures on Buoyancy of Spirit, When, Where, and How to Gigglef' and The Art of Being Popular. Majorie Hartwell succeeded Agnes as Vice-president, and has graced that position ever since, her former experience standing her in good stead. She is President of the Senateg anyone desiring the fioor has to wink, and if Marjorie winks back, all right, if not he's dished.,' The Secretary of State is Paul Bartel, and the fact that there has never been the least sign of trouble with any outside power is convincing proof of his skill. He, however, is a very sad man since he found that a certain girl didn't want to be called Florence Bartel. She, it seems, didn't care for Paul at all. Alice Cone is watch dog,-excuse me, Secretary, of the Treasury and she is such an able keeper that it has not been found necessary even to put the money of the state in vaults. Many a citizen has said that he would rather starve to death than to be a day late with his taxes. An important oflicer of the government is Irving Richardson, Secre- tary of Agriculture. Most of his time is spent in chasing farmers off the hillsides, and Hirting with his two assistants, Elsie and Laura Silman. The romantic, autocratic, energetic Speaker of the House is Alice Merrill Lewis. Clancy is leader ofthe opposition. To a visitor, one of the most interesting sights of Eden is the resplendant figure of Major-General Boynton, com mander-in-chief of the volunteer militia, the best drilled army in the world. A favorite form of entertainment at social functions is a drill by Boyntonis famous squad of three privates. Of the city officers, the most famous is Chief of Police King, better known as Karl Konig. As a result of the efforts of Ed Cooper, drinking and smoking are prohibited in Eden, and it is safe to say that King has not allowed a drop of liquor or an ounce of tobacco to escape con- fiscation in all the time that he has been chief, although no one seems to know what becomes of it after he takes it. He is given a good deal of trouble by girls, who like ull Penreroso , 7
