In a few w’eeks now thousands of high school and college seniors will be giv en their <liplomas — their certificate of accomplishment.

The attainment of a long-sought goal is one of the greatest thrills that life offers. Whether we have trained to Win a race, a degree, a prize-con- "test, a promotion, a partenrship, or a prettygirl^in a word, whether we are rich or poor, high-up or low down in the scale of society—thefe 'is always that thrill' before us—the thrill of setting up a worthy goal, and then striving for it, reaching it.

It is the same w'ord ^of advice which countless commence ment sjieakers will repeat within the coming month, hut it is too important to be pas.sed by. on that account.

That if the legislature should fa^il to resfrect the will of the people in this group of cjounlies we respectfully ask our governor to use his power and right to protect them. 5.
