ADA, O., June 3 President Tft In an
address to the graduating class of I lie
Ohio Northern university here today gave
advtc to the young men and omn and
discussed at length the opportunities of the
various profession and buslnaxs pursuits.
The law, the ministry, medicine, teaching,
Journalism, farming; and ntoderii Industrial
conditions all tame In for a shar of treat
ment In Mr. Taft's remarks.
In discussing journalism the president
look occasion to denounce "muckraking,"
and expressed the belief that unjust phase
of newspaper activity soon would be a thing
of the pant. Ha praised Theodore Roose
velt'a crusade against muckracker In this
connection. Socialism was denounced by
the president, but was referred to as one
of the problems that will have to be con
sidered during the next. generation.
' President Taft did not wear the cap and
(town whkh caused so much excitement by
Its disappearance at Bryn Mawr yesterday.
There was a new flurry today, however.
Mr. Taft's spring overcoat Is lost. He
ltad to wear a heavy winter one when he
alighted from his private car under threat
ening skies and a chilly atmosphere.
Politic and Business.
In his address to the graduates the presi
dent -said In part:
"i am going to Invite your attention 'this
morning to that which confronts you In
your start In life and the political and
economic problem that, should you take
part In politics aa you ought to do, will
probably occupy your attention and call
lor your activity In their solution. In the
first place let us take the business situa
tion. It Is, .of course. Impossible to ex
pect that the famous growth of trades
Khali continue In the proportion In which
we have seen expand during the last ten
years and It Is reasonable to suppose that
at some time within the next decade there
v 111 be some reaction or some financial
stringency or perhaps a financial panic.
' Nevertheless the progress that has been
' made la real and substantial. There may:
be a halt; there may be a sealing down of
Aalues, but these we have had from time
to time, followed by a recovery which
Indicated only a momentary lapse.
a"It Is thought and said that opportunity
for Individual success In business does not
seem now so great as It was formerly and
thao, therefore, the opportunity for young
men to 'ln success In business less than
It was thirty or forty years ago.
Ptrntr of Opportunities.
"It has been my duty to select and pro
mo le many men In official life and I know
whereof 1 speak when I say that success
,ful business, whether governmental or pr!
y.vate, whether small or large, depends
Pihlefly on the selection of men by whom
this ttislness Is to be done, and that the
promotion which successful men secure Is
not that which comes by favor, but by the
loglo of the circumstances and tor the
benefit of employer. There Is, therefore,
today as much room for fit men aa there
ever was in business. The kind of success
that comes from Intelligent fidelity and
- industry In the cause to which a man de
votes himself, and the work which he does
peaks (ar louder in the demand of his
promotion than all the good will or his
employer or the Influence that kind friends
may seek to bring In his behalf.
Dentin for Engineers.

fons should you conclude to enter one of

preliminary hearing of Frank .. Erdman,
charged with placing a bomb on Tom Den
nlcon'a porch. Judge Crawford called an
adjournment at o'cloak In tha afternoon
to 10 o'clock this morning. .
The cntlr testimony of the day was
toward establishing the- intent of Kidman
in his repeated threats to kill Dennlson, the
deadlines of the bomb and the fact that
Erdman was seen In Louisville, Neb., where
the only high power dynamite of the kind
used in the bomb is to be had this side pf
Chicago.

to him, and explained that the threats had

the table at which he and his attorney
were seated, he uttered a low, hissing
curse upon the witness.

asking that all the witnesses in th case

Attorney John O. Tclser created thrills In
th hearing Friday morning. Yeiaer
