.nn read:He-r Wtohea for success for our association en-

tenafning convention and for continued prosperltyof the good old fraternity.Hilarv A. Herbert reaponded to the toast. "Delta

Kappa Epsilon North and South." He said. in part:Not only are our people at peace now with ««eh

other. but there is observable among th* greatbody of them a ronstantly increaslng devotion to

ihe obligations of civlc duties. During tne lasttwentv vears CIvO Service laws and regulationshave Wntimially grown in favur because of th* Igrrowing eonviction that as to r.on-electlve olticfsnVritorious service? to the government. and not

panisan service. shall be the test applled. As to

¦eiective offices the people are taking that matterhand and mean to anply the test thernselves.Theodore Roosevelfs popularity lies in his cour-

aure and honestv. The oonstilutionai amendmentsrecent:--- adopted' in the States of the Far South are

intended as a return to the p_ity of the ballot to

which that section was devoted jn the days prior to

tbe Clvil War. , ,Our people mean to hnve horest government.two

J.onest parties everywhere if poeslble. and if thatl>e not possible. then no parties at all. All this is

Jndioated bv the verdict from the jury box convlct-

Jng public officiais of crlme whenever the testimonyustifles and by the overlhrow at the ballot box

this verv week of thos* who under the pretence ofbeing gfeat party leaders have been fattening on

public plunder.The mention of the name of Robert E. Lee oy

«-x-S*cretarv Herbert provoked applause only lesscnthusiastic than that given to the name of Gen¬eral Grant. The speaker's allusion to the buildingof the new navv was warmly received. The refer¬ence to the fact that President Roosevelt hadspoken on his recent trip to the South within six

feet of the spot where Jefferson Davis took the oatbo> office as the President of the Confederaey stirredthe *nthusiasm of the assemhlage. and when the

ppeaker declared that the incident was the crown-

jng evidence that the sections were united therewas ttnanimous approvai. Courage and nonesty.the apeaker saJd. were the elements of the popu-laritv <rf both Cleveland and Roosevelt. "The lat-t*r "however." said he. "had the ornwning glory«.f hflns a D. K. E."

...The Rev. Dr. David J. Burrell said that clergy-

nien are reputed to talk so mueh of eteniity thatthev forget the lapse of time. Being the only min-loter r.n the list of speakers. he Daid his compli-ments to the legal fraternity. "Nn hypochondriaccan b* found." said he. "among the ministers who8rr I> K. E. men." Striklng at tlie folly <>f undue.olemnlty the sneaker told of the man who triedto curb levitv and said. "Why. every time IT.re-the some one die;." and was advised to eati loves He olnsed by wjshing the members of th*fraternity "years and years of proseprity. PaxVobi-cum."
