The following graduation essays were
read by high school pupils in the audi
torium of the high school building this
afternoon and were listened to by many
of the parents and friends of the pupils:
"CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF THE
WAR OF 1898."
By Louis Kane.
One hundred years ago the Spanish
authority was supreme over all South
America, except Brazil and Guiana. In
North America, the Floridas, and all
that vast expanse of territory west of
the Mississippi and extending to the
golden shores of California were recog
nized by all nations as Spanish. In 25
years this noble domain had dwindled
to the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico,
with a few near-by Islets. Today Spain
has nothing. The question "Why?" may
be asked. Because she treated her sub
jects with such cruelty that she forced
them to revolt.
' The Spanish resemble the Apaches of
the southwest, but while they are Just
as ferocious and treacherous as those
savages of the border, they claim to be
civilized Christians. Oh what crimes
have been committed in the name of
leligion! The most horrible wars in all
history are those that claim to have
been waged for the faith whose basis
is love, charity, kindness, and forbear
ance.
Senator John Rf. Thurston used the
following impassioned words in an ad
dress just before the breaking out of
the late war, in which we was decribing
what he had witnessed in Cuba: "I
shall refer to these horrible, things no
longer. They are there; God pity me,
I have seen them, they will remain in
my mind forever, and this is almost the
twentieth century!"
To many it may seem that the result
of the present struggle is hardly com
mensurate with the sacrifice. When
viewed in its relation to the forces that
have shaped our nation, however, the
conflict assumes a new meaning. It rep
resents one of the steps in a slow but
unceasing process in which England and
the United States have played and will
continue to play the most important
part—the substitution of social order
for anarchy and misrule. Our territorial
acquisition during the present century,
the declarations of 1823 and 1865 and the
establishment of English influence in
India, China and Egypt are but parts
of one great movement—a movement
that wilt lead us to new responsibilities
in the affairs of Latin America. Vlew-ed
in this light, the conflict with Spain was
ae irrepressible as the slavery struggle.
"THE FART CARTOONS FLAY."
By Nelson Hammond.
Since we live in a time .when attempts
are made to write the history of every
body and everything, it would seem
strange if we neglected the history oc
caricature—or of cartoons. It has been
said, that 'nothing distinguishes the
civilized from the uncivilized man with
such emphasis as humor; and the vari
ous stages of civilization are marked by
the amount and character of humor ap
parent at each period.
The ancients were in many ways dif
ferent from us, but we*are glad to know
that they took the same delight in ridi
cule that we do. This fact is made
known to us by some of the cartoons
preserved in Pompeii, Rome and Egypt.
Pompeii was buried by an eruption of
Vesuvius in the year 79, and by this

accident many things have been pre
strved for our instruction as wel as
pleasure. Among other things which
have been unco%-ered in Pompeii is a
Roman garrison, the walls of w hioli
are covered with comic drawing tu
red, white and black chalk, princi] ally
in red. Also comic scenes from the
plays of Terence and Plautus have »een
found. A favorite form of caricatur
of the ancient was to have pygr lies,
beasts, and birds doing the ordi: iary
labors of men.
In Rome a picture has been found on
the wall of a street, which was cl >seci
up about A. D. 100. This picture or car
toon was found in 1857, and it is J th •
representation of a Christian worship -
uing his God. This is the only cartoon
alluding to Christianity yet found on
the walls of Italian cities.
From the great number of cartoons
found in Egypt, we learn that they also
delighted in making fun of each other,
and some of the best cartoons of the
ancients are from Egypt. The Chinese
and Japanese practiced caricature but
their work is not very interesting t 1
anyone but themselves, owing to their
crude tastes and disregard of perspec
tive.
Benjamin Franklin was the firs!
American cartoonist. Ke used pictures
Ahenevr he wished to impress a subject
upon the minds of the public. He dis
tributed his cartoons by printing them
311 handbills and posting them in con
spicuous places. His are the only ex
amples of colonial caricature that hav
been saved. There were other cartoon
ists at this time, but their efforts hav
ing answered their momentary purpose,
have perished. Political caricature in
the United States really dates front the
first administration of Andrew Jackson.
He was the subject of many carinsns
owing to the fact that he fought (the
United States Bank ,and that he jva*
the only champion of the poor against
the oppressive force of the rich. !

''PICTURESQ JE AMERICA
By Lillie Dal
The theme of my ess y dors
any explanation. The name, „
esque Ame.ica," brings to the mind a:
once a pleasant Suggestion of the super .
erta ions of nature wh.ch dlstingu.sb jou
count; y above all others.
On this continent nature has beerJ s<
fantastic in many of her works, and ^ia
scatt red her beauties around in speh
lavish profusion, that to the true leaver
of the picturesque, America presents
charms unknown to other lands.
In attempting to describe our pictures
qr.e land we are f-i ly overcome by th
•emtar-.assment of r ch s and know no:
where to begin. Pei haps it would be
most appropriate fi st to consider ou.
heme scenery, name y; the region of th
Roiky mountains.
We find that the grandeur and vastniss
of these mountain?, their beautiful vpi
leys, their wonderful canyons and th •
large featured sublimity of their rivèr.
are beyond description. Ail winter long
on their mountain cre-ted rims, snow
fa.is, fil.ing their gorges, half burying th -
forests and covering the t aps and peak -
with a niant e woven by the winds of th -
sea—a mantle of snow. When the sum
mer sun comes, this snow melts, an 1
tumbles down the mounta n sides in mil
lions of cascades. Ten million cascade;
unite to form brooks; and the brooks
unite to form a h -ndred ri ers, beset with
cataracts. Thousands of little lakes with
their cold emerald waters are embosomed
in the crags of the Rocky moun
tains. *****
Other countries have their historic Ls
soeiations, their ruins, their castles, tllei
wonders of architecture—tut nowhere fan
such variety in magnificence be foundi a<
in our own America.
' The sunny Ita'y may boast. :
The beauteous tints that flush her skies.

May thy blue pi.lars ri :e ; '

About my own beloved land.'
"CHARACTER AND WHAT COMjES
OF IT."
By Grace King.
It has been said that those who listened
to Lord Chatham f it there was some
thing finer in him than appeared in hi
words. There was a eerta'n indescribable
personality about him, not common t
the ordinary cast df men. For this rea
son we feel one person's presence whir
we do not anothe.'s. There is something
about the former which unconsciously
attracts us, unexplained by the fact that
there is a great deal of latent power hid
den beneath the sur ace. This is what
we call cha aete:-—a leserved force which
acts directly by pres gee and withdu
means.
On the road to Palmyra are strewn
monuments, on whose bases are carved
names of people long since forgotten. Ze
nobia, Queen of Palmyra had no monu
ment dedicated to her and yet her nam>
lives. It is not merely the name, fo
thiä of itself is not sufficient, but some
positive force, some inward powe
or abiding character which keeps her
memory fresh.
As character is the expression of n :
particular quality or 'faculty but o a
whole nature, .eve ything in our 11 re
tends to its formation—our hopes, >ui
faith, our love, our memories, our im tg
inations.
Brilliant accompl'shment can in no va-,
make up for want of character. 'he
woodcutter will tell you that it is lot
merely the sharpness of the axe, iut
weight and power behind It wh ich
count in the felling of the great for»»:
trees. The building of character by ]»a
tient plodding through the years may b
slow but it is sure. The boy who wo k*
at his figures day after day with ace ir
acy is establishing a founndation for 8:a
billty and integrity which will some c ay
stand him in good stead.
Our work at school may become tire
some, and some of it at times may even
seem of no importance to us, but it all
helps to form the foundation of the edu
cation necessary to strengthen us for
our life work.
A writer has said, "A good character,
when established, should not be rested in
as an end, but only employed as a means
of doing still further good."

BUTTE AND BOSTON PLACER
A Damage Suit for $27,500 Is the Out
come of the Litigation—Two
Sided Injunction.
R. O. Merriman, Louis Mason, Silas F.
King and William Owsley have been
m. :,e defendants in a suit brought by
i ihe Butte Land and Investment com
pany, Patrick Mullins, L. J. Hamilton
and O. u. Hopkins to recover judgment
for $27,500 damages. The action is the
outcome of the litigation now going on
between the parties over what is known
1 as the Butte & Boston placer, located
on the l'.at east of the city. The ground
is patented as p acer, but a few months
a SO Meirinian and Mason located it as
qua: tz and ca'led it the Gulf. They
are alleged to have discovered quartz
within its lines. Each side instituted
injunction proceedings to prevent the
o.her from working the ground, and
both made a success of it, but on May 1
the order restraining the plaintiffs from
looking at the ground was dissolved.
The order, however, was effective be
tween February 6 and May t. and while
it was on Messrs. King and Owsley were
the sureties on the defendants' bond, the
amount of which was $2,00(1. This is
why they are made patties to the suit.
In the complaint the plaintiffs say that
while the preliminary fight was being
made they expended $700 for legal ser
vices and that because of the injunction
a sale of the property was defeated to
their damage in the sum of $25,000, The
bondsmen are made liable for only the
amount of the bond.
