Mr. and TWO DODGE CITY GLOBE THURSDAY, MAY 81, 1917 GOVERNOR CAPPER TELLS GRADUATES SECRET OF SUCCESS "SUCCESS COMES TO THE FELOW WHO GETS OUT AND HUSTLES," IS GOVERNOR'S EXPLANATION TO SENIORS. TWENTY- SIX ARE GRADUATED Miss Alta Moore Is Honor Student 1-Miss Floy Neal Second, and Average Of Class Is Near 90. Twenty-six seniors were graduated from the Ddge City High School last night after a commencement address by Governor Arthur Capper in the school auditorium.

The stage W8L prettily decorated with plants and flowers and a large American flag hung in the rear of the platform. After the processional of seniors the Girls' Glee Club sang several selectiong and Miss Gertrude Misner sang a solo. Superintendent J. H. Clement introduced the Governor.

Speaking in the "language of a business man" Governor Capper made the commencement address. The Governor departed from the usal form of address full of advice and warnings, and made an hour's talk in which he discussed a wide range of subjects, and held the crowd's interest thrughout. The Governor began by choosing two types of Kansas boys and girls -Mary and John. Mary was a cook, a good student and no social butterfly. John was a champion pig raiser, a baseball player and not an idle rich type.

"If I had my way in the world, every girl in the state would be trained to cook, sew and be a good housekeeper," the Governor "And every boy in the state would be trained for some useful trade or occupation and know how to make his way in the warld-to be a useful, self-supporting citizen." Governor Capper discussed the valWe of schools, complimenting Dodge City on its school system. "I believe this is the handsomest auditorium for a high school I have ever seen," he said, and then spoke at length on the high standing of the Dodge City schools as expressed by educational leaders in Topeka. "You people in Dodge City have exceptionally good schools, and that is the highest compliment I can pay to a city." "I was once asked to give what I think is the secret of success," Mr. Capper said. "I replied that there, was no mystery about success, there! was no royal road to success.

cess comes to the fellow who gets out and hustles, the fellow who is ready to buckle down to hard work--the fellow who had pluck- -Work is the most important word in the English language." The Governor listed a few of the requisites for success in life. One must have character, he must live a clean life. Cigarettes do not help a man, he declared, and cited a test recently made at Ponca City, homa, where twenty-one non-smokers and twenty-one smokers were compared as to school ability and the nonsmokers registered 6 per cent higher. "Cigarettes never get a boy a job in this state, or any other state," Governor Capper declared, and after raking booze over the coals he said, "The man who uses liquor is the last on and the first off the payroll." The speaker turned to Kansas, giving a few facts which he wished to impress upon the graduates. Kansas sends more children to school than any other state.

It sends fewer to prison; has fewer illiterate persons (with one exception); has the lowest death rate; has fewer paupers and fewer millionaires; De: greater capita wealth; has million children who have never seen a saloon. "Kansas is the state of the plain, average people." the Governor said, "It is the state which gives every man woman and child fair play, evenhanded justice and equal opportunities." Governor Capper turned suddenly to the food speculator, who is partly responsible prices. "The foo0 speculator is a traitor to his conntry and the is too for him" he stated. "Kansas can be depended upon, for Kansas always always has and always will stand by the Government at Washington. "I know you will want to hear something war." Governor said near the end of his speech.

"I have what I might call a little inside information." Mr. Capper then told of his interview with General Joffre--the French hero of the Marne, The general said the war would last one more year and probably two, three, four and perhaps longer. "I do not want to be a Governor Capper said, "But I was told there is not the slightest probability of the war ending within a year. In fact, General Joffre told me it would be a long struggle. He said the Allies were up against it before America entered the struggle.

He said their railroad system was ruined, they needed food and were in bad shape. We are up to our necks in war. It is a real war and I hope we will realize must stand unitedly and whole-heartedly behind the government at ARTHUR CAPPER believe this is the last great war. It is a war against war, a war against autocracy, dynasties, and it is a war for humanity and freedom. I believe America will put in the final punch that will win the war." After the Governor had finished his address, Miss Irene Dickinson and Miss Helen Norton played a piano duet.

Albert Watkins, president of the school board, made a short speech before presenting the diplomas. He said the graduating class was one of the best the school has ever had, and quoted scholarship figures to prove his statement. The honor student was Miss Alta Moore, who completed the high school course in three years with an average grade of 95 and a fraction, Miss Floy Neal was second with a grade of 94 and a fraction. The lowest average in the class was near 90, Mr. Watkins said.

A diploma for special work in the commercial department was awarded Miss Grace Holbert, The diplomas were passed to the graduates and at the close of the program, the audience stood and sang "America." The members of the graduating class are: Mary Burnett, Mildred Cord, Ruth Dalton, Louise Harbst, Bessie Harlan, Glydia Kinkead, Ethel Lighter, Alta Moore, Yolande McCollom, Inez Martin, Rogenia Morris, Floy Neal, Irma Nevins, Emma Schwertfeger, Helen Stump, Fay Tolley, Ruth Hall, Frang Arington, Harry Barter, Leland Dougherty, Donald Gwinner, Charles Herzer, Howard Liggett, Sidney Trebilcock, Charles Wing and William Williams.

Sixteen Canines In City's Interment Camp Awaiting Execution. A choice assortment of dogs ranging from a little white bull pup which is so fat it can hardly walk, to a long, lean' Airdale, has been collected by City Dog Catcher Paul Hemsted, and the dogs are awaiting their masters or death in the city pond. Sixteen prisoners are confined in the small building in Wright Park near the river and on the door of the prison is a list of the unfortunates. Unless the 'owners call for their dogs within forty-eight hours after they were captured, the canines will be executed. By payment of a 50 cent dog catcher's fee and by buying a license the dogs will be released upon identification.

Life in the dog pond has not been as dull as might be imagined for the dogs have had plenty of excitement. Yesterday afternoon a big, viciouslooking bull dog hearing the yelps of the imprisoned dogs, came up to the doors and was sniffing through the bars when the dog catcher arrived. Hempsten opened the door and the bull dog jumped in, He had not been there long until he attacked and killed a little yellow cur. The bully was claimed this morning by a farmer boy and at a suggestion from a bystander the dog was named "Kaiser." Last night a prowler, whose dog evidently is in the pond, tried to break into the shed. The padlock had been hammered and an attempt was made to pry the lock off.

Ten cur days have been in the pond more than forty-eight hours and according to the dog catcher, they will be shot or chloroformed at sunset. The other dogs will be killed as soon as their time expires, unless they are saved by their masters. FRENCH WORKERS CHEER WILSON Goodrich Employees Send Greeting To America By Cablegram. Akron, 0.
