Henry Clay has steadily grown as a most significant figure in the wide field of American relations. Having had much to do with the calling of the first Pan--American Conference, which was to have been held at Panama with United States represen-- tation, the great commoner of his day is given the fullest credit by the republics south of the Rio Grande for its initiation, and his name and fame have a place of permanency even beyond that which the United States has accorded him. __-- In Central and South America Clay is revered as a hewer out of the fabric of freedom and a counselor whose support, as sec-- retary of state of the United States, gave to the world notice that this country was interested not only in making this M«e free of further colonization by Old World powers M that it stood ready as well to encourage and to support the new republics on their@road to success. Clay was the friend of Bolivar, the South American libera-- tor, and as such is still loved and respected by all South Amer-- icans. Though Clay was ambitious and had a thirst for power he dissuaded Simon Bolivar, after the latter had won eternal fame as the George Washington of South America, from assum-- ing a grandiose title and making other vain displays of power. f MEDALS FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS _ . There is before the government in Washington a plan to es-- tablish an award similar to the congressional medal of honor and distinguished service cross, to be presented to federal em-- Ws who through courageous or self--sacrificing service have signally benefited mankind. f --_ In the government service there are many entitled to public fecognition and gratitude. Scientists in the service have in-- vented processes and devices by which the government saves of dollars yearly. There are research workers whose ex-- Wafion has led to the development of entirely new indus-- tries. There are members of the public health service whose activity has resulted in eradication of dread diseases. There are, fh short, many whose services have been valuable beyond cal-- sponsitilities. At the graduation time the vista of the work of life ahead begins to loom before them. Resolves of seriousness ;'a'tcluevement enter into their minds. _--.The students owe much to the community that has given them this chance. It has been accomplished as the result of an incalculable amount of self denial. People have willingly gone b'hhout things they wanted and needed, so they could pay taxes for schools, give benefactions to collegs, provide for the ex-- penses of their own students. A student ought to be filled with zeal to make a fitting return to the people of Waukcegan and his own state and nation. | ~. This is ~ great turning point in the life of a boy or girl. The diploma handed to them stands for effort and sacrifice. In many hours when their friends and associates have been idly playing, they have kept on digging at their books and papers. Now the reward comes to them, in the form of the statement that they have performed certain work in the acquisition of knowledge, and hence are better fitted to meet the problems of life. __ Students grow mature under this experience of graduation. A few weeks before, they still had the student outlook, care free and, boyish and girlish, not quite realizing that life brings re-- ,.. COOLIDGE GOES TO WISCONSIN _ Again the Middle West lures the man in the white house. No sooner had congress gone into its summer recess than Pres-- ident Coolidge announced his own vacation plans, chief among which is the selection of a fishing lodge on the Brule river in Wisconsin for his summer "white house." _ Wherever a president goes politicians 'and the public seek a mrm for his going. The question is more difficult to ans this year because of Mr. Coolidge's apparent grim de-- termination to get out of national politics. : _ It seems a little absurd to connect his proposed Wisconsin % with his veto of the McNary--Haugen bill and his choice of And we all owe something to these students.
