I believe that the public is entitled to know that it gets a fair standard of service, and at a fair price, and that the corporation makes a fair business profit. I feel that the PUBLIC IS ALSO ENTITLED TO ASSURANCE THAT ITS LIFE, HEALTH AND PROP­ ERTY ARE SAFEGUARDED 1^ THE UTMOST DEGREE. I believe that the public and employees of the company are entited to know that ev­ ery possible safeguard is thrown about the life and health of the employees. I believe in a fair working out of Employer's Liability. I believe in putting the burden of TAXATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAN BEST AFFORD TO BEAR IT, and who get the most benefit from the stability which this government offers to income and capital. I believe in an Income Tax exempting moderate incomes, and one in which the ratio of taxation--when the income is enjoyed by a private indi­ vidual--increases as the income itself increases in size. I believe in an Inherit­ ance Tax exempting moderate inheritances, but one in which the ratio of tax­ ation increases as the size of the inheritance itself increases. I believe in the conservation of all the national and state resources for the benefit of all the people. I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION, BUT I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION THAT REDUCES, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THE COST OF THE CHEAPER ARTICLES that are necessarily consumed by the poorer people and, if addi­ tional revenue must be raised from this source, that the tax on the LUXUR­ IES THAT ARE ENJOYED BY THE RICHER PEOPLE BE MADE TO STAND SUCH INCREASES, as far as possible. I believe in the principle advocated by President Taft when he caused the present Tariff Commission to be established. After this body has had an opportunity to gather its facts, tfiis country, for the first time, will be able to approach tariff legislation from a fair and scientific standpoint and, for the first time, the schedules will be framed in the interest of the ultimate consumer, as well as in the interest of the producers. Heretofore no one has ever been heard on a tariff schedule excepting the producer. I believe in the integrity and ability of President Taft. I am NOT for Joseph G. Cannon for Speaker. ' To sum up my platform in one sentencef I AM A "PROGRESSIVE" REPUBLICAN AND BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, NAMELY, "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY.1' IRA C. COPLEY QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

Krpljr to Junior A«lclr*m« by Rob«rt Knox -- I ill* rent Shown by Prlcuds la Appre­ ciated by Clau of Xt> IO. lu behalf of the senior class of 1910, let me th&nk you, dear juniors, for the many pleasant things you have Haid of oe this evening. Your remarks would make us quite vain were it not that we know you always regarded us with awe aud wondered how we did pass over such difficulties, but in another year perhaps you will think seniors are not each wise aud dignified people after nii, at least that is what we found out when we assumed that title. I hardly know how to respond to your many compliments when I consider the differ­ ent points from which we are viewed ' We can just imagine the board of edu­ cation Maying with, oh, such an air of content, "Well, this is another class we are doue with," whilst our dear teachers, who have Hpent hours hammering facts deep enough into the gray matter of onr dull brains that we might not forget them over night or until th<*y had a chance to repeat them the next day, can now feel that their well earned rest has come. But yet you juniors, come forth and say flattering things about us. You say you are Borry to have us leave you. Well, perhaps you are, at least one of your number. In a way, we also regret that we are going, for in so doing we are leaving a very jolly crowd of juniors, sophomores and freshmen, the memory of whom shall ever linger in our minds. No, never shall we forget those three jolly juniors, whose words and actions so helped and encouraged us. Robert, merry all the day, had al­ ways Bome joke to crack which made us forget our troubles. Marguerite's beau­ tiful voice was ever ringing in our ears, whilst Emil hath won athletic glory for our McHenry high school. We can sympathize with each other in tnat each of our classes has dimin­ ished in number. As you say, but five of our former class of twenty-three ver­ dant freshmen remain, four girls and ens lonely, courageous boy. Until but a few months ago onr class consisted of five girls only and we used to wonder why no boy would remain with us. But this year kind Providence has shown us that we are not so bad after all, for it restored to us Clyde Francisco, who had left us in onr freshmen year. This feel­ ing of gladness was soon partly over­ shadowed when Clara Smith, who had been the brightest member of onr class and a very dear friend, left for a larger school. Your class has also gradually diminished in number, you three being the only ones persevering enough to succeed, so I wish to advise you boys to watch out or no girl will remain with yon. Robert, you have been noted for yonr faithful guarding and remain so in your keeping watch of Marguerite, s And now, dear juniors, as we are about to leave onr places in high school, we do hereby will to yon onr beloved title of seniors, also all the privileges and tasks which are associated with this name. In giving you this title we wish you to feel that in all yonr under­ takings the good will and hearty co operation of the class of 1910 are with yon. May the friendships created dur­ ing the last three years of intimacy be true and lasting. Farewe!lv Dear Friends--It is difficult to com­ mand language fully appropriate to ex­ press onr satisfaction for yonr kindly interest in the cause of education, for in viewing the work accomplished dur­ ing the past fonr years, we acknowledge ourselves debtors to our efficient princi­ pal and his able corps of teachers, to the liberality of the school board and all concerned in our cause; for the citisens of McHenry have cherished the ambi­ tion to place her school foremost in rank, and we as her pupils entertain the pleasing hope that we shall not fall short of our parents' demands nor of the public's expectation. Dear Teachers--In bidding you fare­ well, let me thank yon in behalf of the class for the many hours you have so patiently spent in instructing us, ever unmindful of yourselves, but always ab borbed in the interest of us as your pupils. So inspired have we been bv your noble work that four of our num­ ber have decided to follow in yonr foot steps, and as we go forth from the Mc­ Henry public school we will endeavor to be to others what yon were to ns-- artists of minds--to reproduce in others what yon produced in us. Our deeds ill be your deeds, onr honor, your honor. It is the*.life and strength in­ fused by you into onr < inds and hearts that will operate upon those who come under our influence. Others will be fashioned by us as we were by yon and they in turn will alsq mold youthful minds, fashioning still others for the same good work, bnt ever will it be the words and examples of yon and our first teachers who will have renovated and uplifted so many minds. Wherever we are and whatever we do we will try to remain the pupils with onr teachers' powers and ambitions, ever transmit­ ting to others that goodness which we have imbibed from their live* and ex­ amples. Classmates--Tonight finishes onr ca­ reer in McHenry public school and as we bid farewell to the pleasures and sorrows which accompanied our work, it is with a feeling of regret that we realize onr high school days are over. School days which have been not only day* of laborious study, but days which shall ever be remembered by us as the happiest of our lives. Oh. happy days come back, come buck, Your Joys we never knew Till cruel time had rushed by And were lost, to view. MAYOR OF GENEVA FOR COPLEY Dm Im Claim of Coiin 'n Supporters In Kane County. Mayor Fargo of Geneva, the county 8eatof Kane county, wasaskfed to iutro duce Geo. W. Conn, Jr., at a public meeting iieiu inline court house xqnare one evening last week. It is claimed that thereupon Mr. Conn's supporters at once started the story that Mayor Fargo had deserted Col. Copley in his race for congress end wan out for Conn. The mayor makes very emphatic denial, according to the Elgin Daily Courier of Aug. 6, which says: "I am a Copley man and all of the boys down here know I am out and out for the colonel," is the reply Mayor Henry B. Fargo of Geneva makes to the insinuation that be had deserted Copley for Conn. "As mayor of Geneva I introduced George W. Conn when he delivered an address at the court house yard as I would do iu extending the courtesies of the city to suy visitor. I did not take occasion to indorse him iu any way, however. I simply said: 'Ladies aud gentlemen Allow meto introduce Geo. W. Conn of McHenry county, who is a candidate for the nomination for the office of congressman ou the Republican ticket.' "1 am no trimmer. 1 will be for Cop­ ley strong until after the primary, and, unless 1 am mistaken, until after elec­ tion. " Conn lieutenants have been busy cir­ culating wtories about Elgin and vicin­ ity to the eifect that Mayor Fargo bad decided to repudiate Copley as a candi­ date and that in his introductory ad= dress he took occasion to so state.

Bnt the brightest day must have Its end The loveliest flower must die, As fondest pleasures fade too soon And all must say good bye. Heretofore we have had but little re aponsibility, but now we mn« go forth as men and women ia this vast wnrid of ours, remembering that we will Imve many evils to overcome and mu< h good to^lo. Of course, troubles and sorrow* may have to be encountered in the per formance of our various duties. Bnt these must be met and met with cour age aud cheerfulness, because it is the will of God. In onr pedagogy work during the past year we were at times tempted to ask, "To what purpose is the toil, to what reward may a teacher's hopes aspire t" But let us be of good heart and see onr work as God sees it and it* results upon minds and rejoice in its fmitfnlness, for as nee has said, "Work in the cause ot education is surely noble and of great value, as indicated by the word itself, which tells the purpose of the teacher's task--to draw out and to bring iuto full play the inborn possibilities of the mind --to put the soul in possession of all the power and beauty of which the Creator made it capable So let ns combine with onr love for that work nobiiity of character or righteousness, which the world needs far more than knowledge, for righteousness it is that creates true men aud women, assures the honesty of the family and uplifts the Bocial world.
