Supreme Judged of Idaho, as delivered
before the Alumni of the Willamette
University last evening follows: ;
It is my pleasure and first duty to
express to you my thanks for the hon
or j conferred upon me in selecting me
to adaress you this evening. Let me
assure you that the pressure of ; the
world and its ambitions, have not
crowded out my j love for this Univer
sity ... Akin to the love of childhood's
homo; ; Its deep forest Vand singing
birds, its fragrant meadows and sunny
hillsides is that affection the faithful
alumnus bears his alroo -mater.. He
may walk with life in. high places and
drink ambition's cup, he may sit in the
seals of the mighty and with clean
tuutis and honest heart do battle with
th- vi rid; but we know that this path
way lies oyer rock and precipice, and
ttvicithe cup he drains is sometimes
bitter a sweet Interlude ' is It then
amid the rush and hurry, of "the world

the King's Daughters say, with old
classmates, teachers and friends. The
feelings which come to us upon acca
sions like this ! are of the fine and
splendid things .in this difficult human
life, but for them, it would be hard, and
cold indeed-- sacrifice with but small
compensation. Memories of school life
are the heritage of everyone, we may

: talking to you tonight upon the
uses and abuses the justice and lnjus
tiee of the popular estimate placed up
on a man,' which we call his reputation.
I do not purpose to magnify the indl
vidua! greater than the " society " of
which he Is an intregal part, nor do I
mean to rob him of the just benefits
he Is entitled to receive from "that so
ciety. We ought to first be; just and
then, if we can afford it, be generous
afterward. If our citizen does not en
tertain our. views and pursues a course
differing widely from the great mass
of, his fellows, 'we should neither set
him down as malicious or unpatriotic,
nor should we, belittle or malign him.
Let us rather remember that what we
are pleased to call a good name" which
today commands the approbation , and
applause of the mass grows out of the
aggregate total of numerous disapprov
als and condemnations from that same
throng we call the public' .The repu
tation a man acquires among " those
who know him and even far out among
strangers may slander, him,- it may
flatter him or it may savor of his true
character. These are the questions we
want to consider, and in doing so we
should never confuse or confound char
acter with reputation. '- Our character
we buUd ourselves, our reputation
other people build for us. Our, char
acter we carry about with us, our re
putation floats in. the mind of the pub
lie; it Is what people say of us. It is
never deliberate, never consiaeraie,
never scrupulous ; but is rather, . , the
accumulated echoes and reverbera
tions of him who has seen fit to speak
either good jor evil of us.
"Fame is what we have taken
Character is rrlAt we give.
When to this truth we waken
Then we begin to live."
Let us first view the evil and the un
just side of this matter.- We rail at
our social evils, we deprecate, yes, con
demn, many wrongs in our civilization.
When we do this do we remember that
we are society and that it rests here
in our very bosoms; that we are civil
ization and that every thought we
think and every act we do is our civil
ization. We are responsible for the
unmerited reproach which haa befallen
an honest man of toil. We are like
wise responsible for, the dazzling fame
under which that wrecker of fortunes,
robber of homes and public defrauder
has been perpetrating his evil ; deeds.
Yau call a man a : knave, that word
goes out far and wide and grows into
bis .reputation, but. your report does
not signify that the man really is such;
nevertheless,-this may; prove his ruin, ;
he may not be strong enough in will.

countless waves beating and breaking

fixed upon the star of hope and his pur
pose as unchangeable as the laws of

fabled lore, he strikes his trident on
the temple of knowledge , and the
streams of everlasting truth rush forth.

live up to the standard which has been

TABLE TALK OVER THE
' COFFEE.
The talk that evening began with the
fad of the " Vegetarians " and their be-
' liefs. : It soon developed that the beauti
ful Miss Schuyler thought herself a
Vegetarian." "But," said Dr. Smith,
" what do you eat?" "All kinds of vegetables-
and fruit,' said she, n then I drink
milk, have eggs for breakfast, besides at
other meals feat butter, pudding, cheese
and cake, and tell every one they ought
to do as I do, I feel so much better.'
The doctor looked astonished. "And
you call that vegetarian ? My dear young
, woman don't you know -that butter, eggs
and milk are animal foods ? Then, too,
it is a mistake to urge others to follow
you. What is good tor you may not be
"t good for others. The Esquimo of the
Arctic regions couldn't support life on a
vegetable diet. Some animal food is
necessary to keep heat in his body. On
. the other hand, besides the individual
" peculiarities and the climate, the condi
tions under which each person lives,
would make it a mistake for you to rec
ommend to everybody to follow your
. example. "At the same time," con
tinued the doctor, "I have come to the
conclusion that fully one-half of the.
the merited applause of orie'wlmse true
worth they know. It breaks' the dis-
eord and 'puts character and reputation
fn harmony wkh each other. It esti
mates men and women at Hheir true
value everywhere. It relegates-' the Im
porter and praise-hunter to the!backj
ground where they belong and gives
notice to the world that no man can
exceed the total sum of his Individual
qualities, that success depends upon
effort after effort with an Indomitable
purpose to win.
We thus learn to utilixe each day as
it 'comes to us fresh from the infinities
of time and crowd it full of toil and
labor with an object ahead-as fixed
and certain as time itself, and let the
public say what it may. It may mis
place its applause for a time, but by-
and-by It will discover character.
After all it is not what we think hor
what others think of us that is most
useful and helpful to us. Thoughts in
order to do good anywhere must be ex
pressed and put to work they must act
their part, and only to the extent they
do so are they worth the thinking. To
acquire the name of having acted well
our part when we know that we have
not, only lessons our own self respect
and makes weaklings of us to be nursed
and: led by those about us. It is like
trying to do business without capital.
Too many of our fellows want daily di
vidends declared in shouting their
praise while they haven't a single prin
ciple of character invested in life's en
terprise..
