ROOSEVELT'S STATEMENT
Country Hri Chosen the Beat Man
Possible
Washington, Juue 18.liii:nrdiatn
ly upon receiving news of the nomi
nation of Secretary Taft for the pres
idency, President Roosevelt made the
fo Icwlnj ciatenunt:
I feel that the coun'ry Is indeed to
be congratulated upon the nomination
or Mr. Taft I have known him in
ti.iiatoly f.-r r any yrais and I have
a peculiar feeling for him be
cause throughout that time we have
worked for the same object with the
same purpose and ideals. I do not
believe there can be found in the
whole country a man so well fitted
to be president He Is not only ab
solutely fearless, absolutely disinter
ested and upright, but he has the
widest acquaintance with the. nation's
needs without and within, and the
broadest sympathies with all our cit
izens. He would be as emphatically
a president of the plain people as Lin
coln, yet not Lincoln himself would
be freer from tho least taint of dema
gogy, the least tendency to arouse or
appeal to class hatred of any kind.
He hus a peculiar and intimate know
ledge of and sympathy with the needs
of all our people of tho farmer, of
the wage worker, of the business, of
the property owner. No matter what
a man's occupation or social position
no matter what section of the country
from which he comes, if he is an hon
est hard working niun, who is trying
to do his duty towards his neighbor
and toward the country, ho can rest
assured that be will have In Mr. Taft
the most upright of representatives
and the most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands against privilege
and he stands pre-eminently for the
broad principles of American citizen
ship which lie at the foundation of
our national well being."

Essays and Orations Alumni
Aaaoolation Meets.
The graduating exercises of North
Bennington High school were held
Friday afternoon at 2;30 lu the Con
gregational church. As usual tho
church was well filled with the friends
and relatives of the graduates. The
church was tastefully decorated with
the class colors, gold and white. The
class motto, "En avant," waa suspend
ed over the class. . Goldsmith's or
chestra of Bennington with it S.
Phillips at the piano furnished, the
music. At 2:30 Principal A. M. Jones
entered followed by the class of 1908.
The program was as follows:

Io
Literature
Elinor L. Beagle.
Essay From Superstition
to
Science
Dorothy Houghton
Oration The Independence of the
Modern Farmer
Edward P. Powers
Essay Our Battle Monument
Nina C. White
Essay In One Hundred Years
Mary H. Woodhull -
Conferring Diplomas Principal Asa
M. Jones.
The orations and essays were of
exceptional merit, and each showed
that it had been given careful thought
and study lu preparation.
Mr. Allen s oration culled to mind
some, of the most wonderful of the
engineering feats of the day, which
we are apt to take as a matter of
course, and forget that they are real
ly wonderful, especially when com
pared to the achievements of our
forefathers.
The esay on the "American Indian
In Uterature" by Miss Beagle was
very interesting and presented the
Red man In some new lights.
Miss Houghton s essay "From Sup
erstition to Science" was full of Inter
est from start to finish, beginning with
the old witch doctors and their heal
ings and superstitions she brought the
audience up to the present day of
trained nurses performing their mis
sion to mankind.
. Edward Powers' oration on "The
Independence of the Modern Farmer"
should have been heard by the young
men who think it a disgrace to Btay
on the farm.
"Our Battle Monument" by Miss
White was a beautiful discretion of
the historical events with which we
are so familiar, yet her presentation
of them In a visionary light lent new
beauty.
The residents of Bennington would
have been interested In the last es
say on the program, "In One Hundred
Years" by Miss Woodhull. She pic
tured wonderful things for the city of
Bennington one hundred years hence.
Principal Jones In conferring the
diplomas gave a short history of the
North Bennington High school since
its beginning In 1870. The first class
was graduated in 1879 and the num
ber of graduates since then has been
about 170. This closes Mr. Jones
third term in connection with our
schools, and as he leaves for larger
fields 6f labor, the good wishes of the
citizens go with him. He has been a
faithful worker, and his life during
hlB stay among us, has been an ex
ample before the young people which
should lead them to aim for the best
and highest.
The annual reception of the North
Bennington Alumni association to the
class of 1908 was held In Bank hall

HON. W. E. ANQREWS.
Nebraska has furnished to our National Congress some of the brightest minds
that have ever adorned that great national Icghdature. Men of push and firs,
men of great oratorical and Intellectual resources, men who have done much to
shape the destinies of the great western section of our country.
Among these modern statesmen of that versatile, American type, Is Hon. W.
E. Andrews, of Hastings, Nebraska. Hon. Andrews was formerly Vice President
of Hastings College, and established an excellent record as a promulgator of publlo
education before he became a member of Congress. Speaking of Peruna,heaays:
' 7 cheerfully recommend the preparation, Peruna,
as a healthful tonic and a successful remedy for ca
tarrh in its various forms."tion. VV. E Andrews.

as a very efficient remedy for coughs
and colds."
