and received from the handa f Alfred C.
Kennedy, vice president of the Hoard of
Education, diploma which will admit them
to moil of the higher Institutions of learn

The graduation exercises war held In

LL. D., superintend! lit of the city schools,
preMdlng. Kvery seat was occupied by In
terested patrons of the school, whlla the
hoses were reserved for member of the
alumni association. The boxes were decor-
; I sted with the colors of the classes that
t have gone before, dames of 1304, 1305, 197
and 1908 being represented, while the
J Junior, who will graduate In 1910, occupied
four boxes.
A notable feature of the commencement
r ceremony was that tli diploma to the
graduates were handed out by a son of the
first superintendent of achoola of Omaha.
t Fifty years ago, B. . K. D. Kennedy pre
I sided over the Omaha schools, and last
. night his son. Alfred C. Kennedy, himself
: a, graduate of the Omaha High school,
vice president of the Board of Education,
-. addressed the class and gave out the dlplo-
mas. The fact was noted by the great
audience rising to Hi feet as a mark of
respect to the elder Mr. Kennedy.
' There was no class orator, but six of
the graduate gave essys or orations and
' three others gave musical selections. Rev.
T, T. 3. Mackay, canon of All Saint's Kplsco-
pal church, offered the Invocation. J a men
W. Maynard, acting for the teachera com
1' mltteo of the Hoard of Kducatlon, pre
sented the radet certificates to the gradu
jj atlng officers, and (Superintendent Davld-
J son gave a short address to th class and
f the audience.
I The six class sneakers were chosen by
competition open to the whole class,
r y Lectures the Dally Press,
Walter Berndes was the first speaker, tine
subject of his oration being :The Dally
j;. Press." Reformation of the dally paper,
which he termed a great Institution, was
the speaker's theme, saying that it is for
everyone to do his utmost to effect the
reformation needed.
: ' "The possibilities of the dally paper are
almost boundless," said Mr. Berndes. "It
can educate the masses or degrade them
" it can create high moral sentiment or per-
f v.rt It almost completely; It can promote
; Justice, peace and heighborllness, or It may
foster corruption, restlessness and publlo
S. i strife
Holding that the average daily paper Is
not the moral force It should be, for the
reason that the average reader demanda
lurid headlines and sensational stories
vividly Illustrated, the speaker Said that
the American people should strive for the
clean home paper, worthy ot power as an
educational Instrument a paper in which
fie news Is carefully stried and dimes
nin.le little of Instead Of enlarged upon by
the aid of Imagination.

"The Need of Humor In America" was
liu next number of the program, being
a essay by Miss Helen tforenson. 6he
iui,uasJ humor with wit and said that
l liny Ameiica needs reformers who will
i.. v humor as a weapon to rescue us from
ih. lollies and monstrous absurdities to
,nU which wa have a tendency, and she
i murd the Merry Widow and the peach
1 . skei hats, dlrectolr gown and the
i... normal coiffures as ome of these
"i.uns.iou absurdities.
Huti.ur must not b confused with Its
ii.u.Iyc, wit," said Miss Sorenson. "Wit
is negative, analytical, destructive; humor
Is elemental, fundamental, creative. Wit
is shirt, dashing, scornful; humor Is a
sli..', c:tiot!or.al quality which exist by
tl.K murrlutje of love and sympathy. Wit
IujkIis at things; humor with them. But
at pi went humor Is at a low ebb in
, America because of the earnestness of the
ae."
Linking character and reputation to-
geiher, Howard Hoe mad "The Ideal Oil
son" the subject of hi oration, though he
phased Character high above reputation.
' cUclnring character to be something per
" nianeut, while reputation Is something
merely for tli mointnt and the hour.
Mi. Hoe said that the future Is In the
hand ot the ideal cltlten and that the
"" ideal clllseu Is the man or the woman
0 with strong character "which dls
- tlngulshes the Idealist from the Idolator.'
This character which Is to mold future
destinies must be tarVad out by one' aelf
for one's self, and men with character
are the men who will be needed In the
' future to keep governments from taking
7, the i: ivllegts and th benefit that belong
J to all aiul giving them to the few, "for a
V government tliat does this Is Itself an an
" airnlst, and the government, that shows
Itself to be a plunderer excite more con
tempi than a oltlsen."
Uoanrl af Uptlastsaa.
According it Miss JJ.iiy Hxlg. the next
' niK-aker on the program, the "nillikeh" is
j i the idol of the Americ.-.n today, the same
J J as apish image af llie Idol of the
j heathen today and iu ages gone by. "A
Pllltken Age," was the suli.irot of her cs-
. S say and she closed by declaring the ' Dilll-
I ken" to t the god of liapplni'sa,
8he said that the "Htlhken" does not
f promise to work miracle or to help the
man who calmly synda back waiting for
something tJ "turn up," but that he bclps
those who help themselves.
"1 there any significance In the fact
that Americans are taking 'Blllikena' a
the reprasenulva of Uitlr beliefs, of their
Ideals r asked Ml Hodge. "I the wor
ship of 'BUllken' a mere Juke, a transpar

rn Norseman and peoples of the northern
lands, and showed that the stern principles
of right and duty of the sturdy Norseman
are better than the yielding Ideal of the
poetry loving Qreek of the southern climes.
The strength of the Greeks of old, said
Miss Swenion, was In the supernatural,
while the Norseman depended not on the
supernatural, hvit on his own strong body
and heart. Independence was always
characteristic of the Norseman, together
with fixedness of purpose, energy, chastity
and nobility of heart. Morality in all Its
forms has been developed by the people of
the north, Bhe said, and It Is In the north,
by people of the north, that the vast ma
jority of all great works have been done.
Government of Cities.
"The Secret of Municipal Success' wa the
subject of the last oration, delivered by
Harry Drucker, and thia secret was de
clared by him not to be a different plan
from that now being tried by the largo
cities of the country, btiv to be different
men In control of municipal affair.
"Th problem of government has always
been a pertinent subject," said Mr. Drucker,
"but any plan will fall If poor and IneffN
clent men are placed at the head of muni
cipal affairs. Success depends not upon
systems, but upon the administrative
forces, and behind and before them, upon
the electorate. The vote Is of tremendous
Importance and no city, state or nation
deserves good government when Its electors
refuse to vote for the sllmpsy excuse of
what's th use?' "
A piano solo, "Andante Splanata Polon
aise" by Chopin was given by Miss Uret
chen McConnell; a vocal solo, "The
Pilgrim's Song," by Will Prentiss, and a
violin solo. "Serenade," by Drdla. by David
Brodky, together with several selections by
n orchestra, completed the program.
The class roll was the thirty-fourth in
the history of the school and the gradua

founding of the school. Member Kennedy,

JUDGE SUTTON ADDRESSES
INSTITUTE OF BANKING
Jnrlat Talks, of Crime. Criminal sad
Divorce, aad Takes Pessimistic
View of Modern Life.
Judge A. L, Sutton of the district court
was the speaker at the meeting of the
Omaha chapter of the American Institute
of Banking, held last night at Chamber
academy.
"Crime and Criminal" and "Divorce"
were the themes of the address In the
course of which the Judge took rather a
pessimistic view of conditions among the
American people. He gave It as his opinion
that since the earliest history of th race
there has been a steady Increase In crime
and this In spite of the fact that schools
and college and churches are multiplying.
He atated that In the United States only
one man In ten who commits murder Is
convicted, while In Germany and F.ngland
there are 98 per cent of convictions and In
Europe 98 per cent. He thinks the remedy
lies partly In doing away with the prac
tice of excusing the better class of citizens
from Jury duty.
In regard to divorce he stated that during
some months the number of divorces
granted In Omaha equalled the number of
marriages and that In the state of Ne
braska there I on divorce to every five
marriages, while In the United States
there Is one divorce for every ten mar
riagea.
This will ruin the nation, he believes
unless some remedy is found and this must
come largely through th efforts of the
churches.
Preceding the address of Judge Sutton
there was a program of music and mem
bers of Prof. Chambers dancing class
rendered some number which were greatly
en loyed.
The quarrel seen from Julius Caesar
rendered by Messrs. E. S. Thompson and
W. F. Wapplch, was roundly applauded.
E. F. Folds handled the question box. J. C.
McClure, president of the Omaha chapter,
presided.

J. Herman Klttenbrlnk will make City

cause why he should not Issue a permit

Judge Troup, directing that Wlthnell Issue
the permit or appear Wednesday and show
why he should not.
Wlthnell refused Klttenbrlnk a permit
June 8, when formal application wa made.
He was guided by a city ordinance passed
just before election, forbidding the erec
tlon of any more brickyards. Residents
of the neighborhood used all the Influence
they could bring to bear on the old coun
cil, which then put the ordinance through

Board of Eeriew Hears Protest of
Water Company.
CASE TAKEN UUTJEB ADVISEMENT
Casasneaeeaseat Exercises af t.
Aa-aea school Hel4 at Hl ehsol
Aadltarlasn alf Matches
at Coaatry Clab.
The Omaha Water comoany appeared
esterday morning before the Board of Re
view to protest against the assessment
which the tax commissioner placed on Its
property. The greater part of the ex
amination consisted In cross-examining the
ax commissioner to ascertain how he had
made the assessment as he did. He said
he had usee! the return of the company
and compared the same with the report of
the Board of Appraisers, which fixed the
vslue at about 6,nno. Then the earning
capacity of the plant was considered and
the value of the franchise was considered
an Item sufficient to raise the value to
JTW.OOO.
The water company called attention to
the assessment of all the other public
service corporation of the city and E. M.
FIrfleld testified that In his opinion the
real and personal property ot these Insti
tutions was assessed at about (0 per cent
of the real value. Thl was especially
true of th public service corporations
with the possible exception of the
Omaha A Council Bluffs Street rail
way. Ho said the Union Stock
Tards had a capital stock ot about r7.4M.000
and paid a t per cent dividend of that
amount and therefore, the corporation
being assessed only 14,000,000, showed, in
proportion, the Omaha Water company's
assessment was too high.
R, S. Hall said, "You want to sock It
to the water company, and you've been
doing it"
In cross-examination .Mr." Fairfield ad
mitted that he had only the most general
knowledge of the packing plants, the
Union Stock Yards, and the other public
service corporations of th city and found
himself unable to express more than an
opinion as to the rate of assessment com
pared to the actual valuation.
The Board of Review took the case under
advisement No other protests of con
sequence have been filed with the board.
Several Inquiries have been made by
parties who may file protests later.

The absolute vegot&blo purity of B. 8. S. has always been one of the
strongest points In Its favor, and la one of the principal reasons why It la
the most widely known and universally used of all blood medicines. A
great many of the so-called blood purifiers are really nothing more than
strong mineral mixtures which act so unpleasantly and disastrously on the
delicate membrane and tissues of the atomnch and bowela, that even If
auch treatment purified the blood, the condition In which the dlgeetlve
system la left would often be more damaging to the health than the original
trouble. Not bo with S. S. 8. it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and
at the same time la an absolutely aafe and harmless remedy. It la made
entirely of the healing and cleansing eztracta and Juices of roots, herbs
and barks, each of which la in daily use in aome form by physicians in
their practice. Years of work and research have proven 8. 8. 8. to contain
everything necessary to purify the blood and at the same time supply the
system with the purest and best tonlo effects. S. S. 8. cure Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison
and all other blood troublea, and it le. ves the system in perfect condition
when It has purified the blood. Book containing much valuable Information
