lu gliiuclug over the state papers
this week we observed the following
clippings, whloh we are going to re
produce, as they coucern" our bo9s,"
and we know that if we everv wish to
print them now is the time when he
is not here to tell ui we can not:
C. B. Hale of the Red Cloud Chiqf
bears the distinction oti running the
only democratic paper in Webster
county. "It was pretty tough fo us
democrats there for a few years, but
after the Red Cloud Chief got in the
game. Wilson was elected, aud every
thing seems to be going smoothly. It
isn't near as hard to be a democrat as
it use to be," he laughed as he entered
the convention hall. Tuesday's World
Herald.
One of the most able aud interesting
papers of the session was "Allowing
the Other Fellow to Run Your Paper,"
by C. B. Hwleof the Red Cloud Chief.
He told of vat'lods occasions when he
had permitted different organizations
to publish the paper, glvlug them en
tire control, and of some of the amus
ing situations that occurred during
aud following the publication. In the
discusslou of the topic he found an
opportunity to pay a pretty compli
ment to Red ' Cloud. Wednesday's
World Herald.
C It. Hale of the Red Cloud Chief Is
the fattest editor at the convention,
lie tips the scales of 230 pounds in his
summer suit. Tuesday's Omaha Ilee.
This last clipping is hard to believe.
We absolutely know" he only weighed
223 pounds before leaving Red Cloud.
Surely he could not have gained so
much in such a short period and be
fore the banquet. But be it a fact that
Charlie Is taking on weight like this
we hope he does not tarry in the big
town too long, but returns home be
fore his summer suit has become too
small. ,

Class of 1913
Is Graduated
The commencement exercises this
year were certainly up to the high
standHrd set by former classes. The
graduates this year acquitted themsel
ves with honor aud credit. They have
shown that they have worked hard to
acquire all the schooling that our In
stitution can give them and they have
now severed their connection with our
public schools aud will go out prepared
to take their various places in life.
Wednesday night was class night
and the gruduates gave their class
play which was greatly appreciated by
all present. The special music was ex
cellent and received generous ap
plause. On Thursday evening the
commencement exercises took place.
Several of the members of the class de
livered orations. The address of the
evening was delivered by Deau Han
cock of the Trinity Cathedral of Oma
ha und L. H. Ulackledge presented the
diplomas in well chosen words.
The Chief trusts that the members of
the class of 1013 will contluue to per-
sue their studies and that wherever
they may go we arc certain that they
will retleot honor and credit to the
Red Cloud Public Schools.

Nearing The Goal
Contest Will Close Next
Week
Tfie Hint) for the Cnief automobile
contest to cloie will soon be here. :
The goal "will soon he reached and
someone will be the proud owner of
the Ford touring car. The end will
come Saturday . I une li at 0 p. in. '
When we say that the contest will
clo'jo ai (I p. m. we do not mean live !
minutes past that time. One thous
and dollars paid on subscription live
minutes past the time for the contest
to closu would not change the results
of the contest. It will all be over, and
it will be too late to apply subscript
ions on the contest. Contestants
should be sure to have their subscript
ions in on time, lletter be ahead of
time than one minute lute.
The standing of the coutesttnts will
not bo known from now until the
judges make the final count after the
contest has closed. The votes will not
be counted between now and that time
und no one will know who is lu the
lead. Votes can bu deposited just the
same ns ever until the closing hour nr-
rives, but no one call see the Inside of
the ballot box until the judges open li
to make the liual count.
The past few days have not been
very exulting ones in the contest cir
cles. To bo frank about It we really
believe that someone lv going to win
this automobile about the easiest ive
ever heard of. , If this should happen
we will not kick. We have these priz
es to give away, they arc paid for, and
will go to the winners as soon us the
contest Is over. It matters not how
miiuy or how few subscriptions come
lu between now aud the closing hour.
Of course we hope that the results of
the contest will warrant the prizes we
are giving, but we hardly expect such
an outcome now, uuless the contest
spurs up more than it looks now like
it would. However the priies will be
give1 with good grace, aud if those
contestants who want an automobile
do not do their part It will not be our
fault.
Remember the contest will close
Saturday, June 14 and the hour is G p.
in. The judges will make the final
count und award the prizes as soon as
the contest closes. The count will be
made t the Chief oftlce and all Inter
ested will be invited to be present und
witness the count
Praise Given
Rev. Tompkins
Rev. Tompkins, who delivered the
principal address at the llual com
mencement exercises at McCook on
Friday evening, to the class of 1013,
proved to be up to his usual high
standard. The McCook Tribune has
the following words of praiso for him
lu their issue of Monday evening.
Rev. Tompkins is a finished and
vetcrau platform man of good address
and forceful vlme thinking, aud he
gave his audience and the class of
19).' food for thought from start to
conclusion. The thought he aimed to
amplify aud emphasize was the idea
and ideal of competition as he ex
pressed it, but which the writer will
style emulation or a striving to excel,
High aim aud Indefatigable effort
which surmount apparently impossible
and impassable obstucles were his
suggestions to the class of l'.)j3, aud
for example be drew from the life of
Napoleon for a dramatic setting ef
fect. He reminded the class that
In no stage of world's history were
more great aud insistent opportunities
open to all the great Avenues of en
deavor, in science, art, literature,
statesmanship, religion, mechuuio,
remiudlug his hearers that the paths
the world lead luexorably to the door
of the one who mastered the art of
doing things better than others.
Rev. Tompkins' class address was
highly satifactory"and thoroughly en
joyed 'for Its practical and well bak
1 anced worth.

Decoration Day
Is Observed
Last Friday was Decoration Hay.
The day began with u bright sun and
u cloudless sky. There was just breeze
enough for comfort. The city was
decorated with tings ami bunting U,v
noon visitors from the surrounding
country tilled the streets and the at
tendance promised to be large.
Promptly at one o'clock the surviving
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic mid the ladlesof the Woman's
lielief Corps formed a line of march
on Webster street und their way to the
cemetery, Mr. .1. W. McCriickeu hud
charge of the procession and the Red
Cloud Concert bund furnished the
music. Arriving at the cemetery the
organizations proceeded at once to
decorate with tlowcr.s the llual resting
places of their departed friends and
relatives. The cemetery this year
presents a splendid appeuianee. The
grass is thrifty und' Its dark green
formed a pleasing background for the
beautiful 1 low el's and shrubs plenti
fully dotted all over the enclosure.
The driveways wore clean, everything
was spic und spun giving one a sense
of restfulness and peace.
Forming a hollow square around the
monument erected to the memory of
The Uukuowu Dead the rlttiulfstlc ser
vices of the U. A. R. were curried out.
The procession then returned to the
city and begun the program lu the
opera house with music by the bund.
Rev. J. M. Hates guve the invocation,
Chaplain ltovce read Lincoln's stilling
Gettysburg address. The list of dead
comrndes wus read by S. B, Kizer.
Hon. Fred K. Muurer was then Intro
duced and delivered the following
oration which was greatly appreciated
by his audience:
Mr. Chairman, members of the
Orand Army of the Republic, Relief
Corps, ladies and gentlemen, I assure
you that I appreciate the honor of
having the privilege of nddressing you
upou this occasion and it is with a
great deal of persoual pleasure that I
undertuke, in my feeble way to pre
sent for your consideration u few
thoughts concerning this great na
tional American holiday.
Of all the holidays that we Amer
icans observe there Issomethiugabout
Decoration day that makes it distinct
aud different from any other. There
is something in the observance of this
day that appeals to the higher and
nobler instincts of men aud women
aud causes us, almost involuutarily,
to pause lu our busy workaday lives
that we may puy a tribute of respect
to our loved ones who havo crossed
the river. Today up and down the
length aud breadth of this land, east
and west, north uud south, we have
decorated the last resting places of
our departed friends and loved ones
with the choicest, the rarest, the
purest flowers of the land. Silent
tokens of affection. Emblems of
purety aud of love. Flowers It soma
times seem that they are the medium
for expressing nature's smiles, nature's
kindness and nature's sympathy. Who
is there that can say that their salient
intluencc uud uiessuge of love, is not
comprehended aud appreciated beyond
that mysterious chasam that separates
the living from the dead. I am glad
because we us a nation have set aside
this day for the purpose of honoring
our dead. Kveu though it be impos
sible in the infinite wisdom of Uod
that our departed loved ones should
know or understand, yet, the moral
effect upou the living more than re
pays us for the observance of this day.
I am glad because this day is observed
at a season of the year when nature Is
at her best, the trees, the fields, the
meadows, have all clothed themselves
in new garmeuts of gladness, promise
and hope. What person at this sea
sou of the year can look upou nature
aud observe the renewal of life and
beauty upon every hand and yet doubt
the immortality of man. While today

departed, yet to most of us the IliM
bitter pangs Incident upon the stiver
ttiit'o of sutsretl ties has passed, and to
day we assemble t,i honor the depart
ed because of the work they did while
living, because of the as-lstitnee and
uplift that they gave society, because
of the pleasant memories that they
have left behind, rather than the
more or less sellish purpo of liionn
lug and giievlng because of their de
parture, which ufterull, Is but ; neces
sary scene in the drama of life,
The curtain falls and our life woik
lu this sphere Is tinled. Nothing that
we can then do to adl to or detract
from the usefulness of the lives we
have lived. 1 believe that every man
and every woman is brought Into
this world for u purpose uud with a
special life work to perform, given the
power of reason and judgment on the
theory that society would be advanced
and the cause of humanity uplifted
because of their entry upon the drama
of life. Matt has been given dominion
overMhe beasts of the field, the fowls
of the air, and all manner of living
things, lie has been made the hits
buudmaii of all manner of animal uud
vegetable life. Kndowed with such
power.-, ought It not to be our aim and
endeavor, when the curtain fulls, to.
leave behind us the memory of work
well done. So on this occasion we
cherish the privilege of honoring the
memory of our dead because of what
they did while living. We are glad
because of the fact that the manage
ment of the ceremony on this day is
entrusted to the (Jiand Army of the
Republic and the Relief Corps.- On
tills day your organization, in every
hamlet ami every city of this laud have
strewn llower.s and paid their tribute
of respect 111 honor of the memory of
their dead comrades.
We are thankful becuus-e tho organ
izutiou here at Red Cloud has always
observed this day in an approprlato
manner. You have decorated their
graves. You have sung songs lu their
memory. You have eulogized their
bravery and their heroism. You have
conducted adequate 'services lu memory
of the unknown dead and because of
this and the common bond of sym
pathy thut ill uws us together ou this
occuslou we are here assembled to do
homage aud honor to our departed
loved-oues irrespective of whether or
no it fell to their lot to take part in
that great struggle of 1SG0 to 18UI. '
While we of the youngergeneratlon,
those of us who are just beginning to
place our shoulders to the wheel, and
understand something of the duties,
the pleasures aud the responsibilities
incident to citizenship, have assembled
hero lu sacred memory of our depart
ed loved ones, we also desire to join
with you lu honoring the memory of
those brave soldiers who sacrificed
their lives upon the shrine of their
countiy's altar. To us, the services in
memory of the uukuowu dead, those
whose last resting place is unknown
and unmarked, excites our sympathy,
our pity and our respect. As we look
upon Hie statues erected in their
memory, silent but potent reminders
of the horrors of war, there begins to
dawn upon our realization a faint un
derstanding of whut that war really
meant, of the hardships and prlvlta
tlons, of the surrtM-Ing aud augulsh, of
the liearr itches and heart breaks
thut you members of the tliaiid Army
of the Republic uud your loved ones
cudured lu order that you might hand
down to us a united nation.
As we look upon vour military gath
ering here today, crowned us you are
with the snows of many winters, re
presenting as you do the grand or
ganization of which you are members,
we are glad because you are with us,
we are indeed thankful for the priva
lege of being with you. We desire
here and now to thauk you for what
you have done for us. We realize that
we can never adequately repay you for
what you gave, the best years of your
lives. You severed the sacred ties
that bind tho home, father and mother,
