I wanted to be exculpated in open court
and for that reason have approached
Judge Sutton several times. I have al
ways occupied a certain place In the es
teem of my fellow townsmen and I am
jealous of anything that would disturb
the same. I knew myself to be Innocent
of any guilt In the bribery case and
wanted -to be cleared before the whole

than I do." "."

Stories of the strivings of petty poli

Omaha Water board and incidentally the
dispensing of whatever local patronage
that body may exercise are going tha
rounds of South Omaha. One Intimately
associated with members of the Omaha
board yesterday declared that Charles
Collins, for twenty-five years local super
intendent of the local water station,
would be continued in his place, notwith
standing the change of title In the water
company.
He said that as far as local conditions
are concerned the board recently stated
that the affairs of the station should be
conducted as if no change of ownership
had- ever been made In the property. He
added that the recent activities of petty
politicians of the local ring had done
nothing but create amusement among the
members of the board. He stated that
ward heeling embassies from the local
bosses had been sent to the Water board
seeking to Inject politics and ward meth
ods Into the conduct of the local water
station. ,

CREIGHTON MEH GRADUATE
College Education Extolled to Can
didates for Degrees.
W00DB0UGH DELIVERS ADDBESS
Edward F. Leary Gives Master's
Oration, While Lonis D. Kv
anagh Pronoancee Valedictory
at Orpheom .Eaercl.ee,
College education was extolled and Its
advantages both In the business and pro
fessional world defended last night in
two orations delivered at the Orpheum
theater where thlrty-flve young men re
cetved diplomas and degrees In the com
mencement exercises of the Crelghton
university College of Arts and Sciences.
Knowledge and culture marked the in
teresting program throughout In orations,
vocal and Instrumental numbers and an
address to the graduates by Joseph W.
Woodrough. Several numbers were
interpolated by the well trained univer
sity orchestra, including Tonello's
"Crelghton University Grand March,"
which was dedicated to the faculty and
students of the university.
Edward F, Leary. deUvered the master's
oration, "College Education and the Pro
fessions" which was followed by the
bachelor's oration, "College Education
and Business," by Mark J. Ryan. Both
were well composed, contained good logic
and were excellently delivered.
Mr. Leary told bow college education
diminishes intellectual conceit and cited
the experience of lawyers "who bring to
their daily tasks the widest knowledge"
and by physicians who must live and
work with "standard higher than the
dollar."
Mt. Ryan in connecting college educa
tion with business, said there were few
geniuses; that most of us must develop
our faculties by long continued experi
ence. He compared knowledge with
freedom, saying that only those who
fight for it are fit for it
Louis P. Kavanagh's valedictory ad
dress was most impressively delivered
befitting its context He praised the uni
versity and Its faculty and said the
graduates bade them farewell with re
gret Paul C. Harrington was encored for
hie vocal selection, "Blow, Blow Thou
Winter Wind" and gave as an encore
a selection just as pleasing.
Woodrona;h's Address.
The address to the graduates by J. W.
Woodrough was rather an address for
them. "I look upon life." said he, "as an
occasion of great rejoicing and I want to
rejoice with and talk for the heroes of
this occasion rather than to talk to them.
"Young men some- times look upon the
world as a well-ordered house that Is
already built upon a rock; where the wise
ones sit at the gates and weigh all
comers in their judgment Say rather to
Men's Suit

Buy two suits for a uttie more than the
our young friends, it Is an unshaped
mass of possibilities that will bo ptastlo
in the hands of themselves and their
fellows; where every man's ftnges leave
a mark."
Mr. Woodrough talked about the broth
erhood of school life. "The old world
needs the young men from the colleges
to strengthen In our hearts the good col
lege spirit of brotherhood, and it Is not
only sweet and glorious to die for your
country, It glodlfies the humblest man to
do his mite of service for it
"I can wish no one better fortune than
this, to feel that the task your hands
find to do Is worthy of the best that is in
you, to know that your best effort is
adequate and sufficient unto your task.
Men who work In this' spirit mold events
and conditions, and time and circum
stances serve them. They work with sin
gleness of heart In the Joy of the task
Itself. They work In good faith. , They
learn to know the dignity and glory of
effort They live their lives to the full
est "Though we multiply our rules and
precepts and strive to follow them, the
soul of man seeks and finds a safer rest
ing place than his subtle learning and
human experience. Above and beyond
his rules and reasonings, bid him to be
honest, to keep clean, to seek efficiency
there la the spirit of God that dwelleth
In him. there Is his faltb In unseen
things.
"As these young men are deeply
grounded In abiding faith, with hearts
and minds schooled and trained, looking
forward and upward, we may well Say
with the Psalmist 'Rejoice, O young
men, in your youth.' "
Preceding Mr. Woodrough's address
Father Murphy gave out the diplomas
conferring degrees to the graduates. He
also pinned medals on F. Julius Festner
for the honors of the class of 1912, on
Stephen A. Boyle for elocution in the
class department and for an essay, "Evi
dences of Religion," medal was given
Mark J. Ryan.
Prof. A. C. Kemper will deliver the
baccalaureate sermon to the class at

closing at tha university.
