GIVES ADDRESS ON BENJAMIN FRANK LIN LAST EVENING J. A. Dillinger at the High School Auditorium Last Evening Gave a Very Interesting Talk. The fourth number of the Boy Scout lyceum course was held last evening at the high school auditor ium, and one of the best number of the year was enjoyed by the audience and It is a matter of regret that there was not a larger number of the young people of the city present to hear the interesting lecture that was offered. The lecture was given by J. A. Dillinger, vice-president of the lyceum company that Is supplying the present course, and was based on tte life of Benjamin Franklin, strik ing figure in" the American life. The speaker covered thoroughly the life of Dr. Franklin, his priva tions, the handicaps that he was re quired to overcome and his material contribution to the success of the American colonists In their struggle for independence. The boyhood of Franklin, hard and bitter was pofnted out, his ap- mr- - prenticeship in tne printing traae Kansas; Adams, Ohlcwa; Schram. at a tender age was also shown and?Gretna; clem.

Of the service of Dr. Franklin as the envoy of the strug gling colonies at the court of Louis XVI. the lecturer paid a well de- erved tribute to the great American I in his statement that his efforts in France had made possible the keeping alive of the struggle against Eng land and the final triumph of the nevr nation by the aid and support of the French people and nation. The character cf Franklin has a distinct place in American history and one that Is not fully appreciated by the larger number of the people ae he had none of the glory of military service or political offlceholding, but nevertheless was one of the makers of the American republic.
