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 t have, a "heart to heart'" talk, s 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.

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. in purpose, in character to overcome it thousands of our fellow citizens have quit the battle of life in defeat, weigh. ed down by such unjust and undeserv ed reports. Another Is too strong and mighty to falter for a single moment, or turn aside from the certain path way he has determined to travel on account of the shadowless phantoms calumny sets up at every turn in his way; he rather turns them to his ad- antage and gathers from them an in spiration that will push him outward and onward Into the great ocean of honorable and upright life and man hood. Storm-tossed and lashed by countless waves beating and breaking about him, with :his eyes constantly j fixed upon the star of hope and his pur pose as unchangeable as the laws of his being, until at last like Neptune of fabled lore, he strikes his trident on the temple of knowledge , and the streams of everlasting truth rush forth. Long ere his voyage is ended the tide of life has borne him far out beyond his erstwhile reputation and another and more splendid and deserved has been bullded for him by a now admir ing and ever zealous public In this ever flowing stream of human life there are whirlpools and rapids of disaster, in which crafts are constant lr going to wreck. So real, so sure. and yet so fortuitous are these that we come to view them as the certain ob stacles of our Journey. Our comrades, without knowing the real purposes in bur minds and ambitions of our lives, attribute to us motives and accredit us with qualities.' or a lack of such, as would chagrin the most self confident or libel the most unassuming, i Let the word go forth tbaryour young man is honest, that he . Is brilliant, that he stands far above his companions; this will not measure his true worth. If be is strong It will help him, if weak lit will as likely ruin him. We should not permit honesty to become so rare that even its budding manifestation pro vokes us to applause rather let the first gliding shadow of dishonesty bring down our condemnation. Let us change our standard and make manly life the rule and wrong the exception. I Hon esty should need no trade .mark; bril Mancy Is not all that makes a man. We may well beware: or the 'man who speaks in dark mystery of his fellows nd then assures us of his own Integri tv He is either shallow and weak or Vicious. We had better move slowly, better be sure of the ground we tread On, we had better, day by day, build. If but slowly, surely, a reserve force. a power, a greatness a character that cannot be swept away; by the first i breeze of popular disapproval, that will not fail us when the trying tasks of life fall heavy upon us and the clouds A TEXAS WONDER 'HALL' 3 GREAT DISCOVERY.

"We are accustomed to measure men, not by their acts, nt by their labors, ambitions and purposes, but by the clamor of the publlc-the praise of a friend or vituperation of an enemy, I popular approval can never make this just. John Bunyan, adjudged a crim inal,, branded as a transgressor of the laws of his country, was greater In , a cell of Bedford jail with the music of "Pilgrim's Progress" in his heart, than was the Prime Minister of England amid the hurrahs of popular applause with treachery and intreque ) in his mind. Cincinatus was , as noble and generous while following the plow in his friend's field by the Tiber as when he reviewed the shouting Roman Leg ions as their Dictator, The real qualities which go to make a-true man cannot be bought and sold but reputation is often a commodity measured in dollars and cents or In the advantage one man turns for or against another. The man who pays the news papers to puff and advertise him from week to week and year to year,buys hirfiself a reputation in these commer cial days. He may be of uch mental I and moral capacity as to enable him to live up to the standard which has been set for him; or he may drift, as many do, from time to time, on the crest of the waves until . the . hour comes, '. as come it will, for the test of , his real power and merit, and then he Is swal lowed up amid the breakers and wthite- j caps never more to be heard of: save with pity or commiseration.

That praise and commendation which others give us can only help and bet ter us . in so far as it aids us in help ing ourselves. Whatever may be the cause and prompting motive for the es leem or aisiayor in wntcn , we are held. It can prove : useful only to the extent that It may enter into the work we are about the building of our own character. The money king, in order to sooth his conscience and win the fav oraDie. comment or tne public, gives a hundred thousand, for the founding of an orphans' home neither love for the homeless children nor the cause of be novolence has prompted this charity. but rather an Itching desire for notori ety. Through; this - munificence the public has profited. Your would-be benefactor has salved his conscience and pleased his fancy and as deeply wounded his character. He! has bought himself a reputation. The man of mod est means gives a few hundred for & like "purpose arid quietly asks your committee' to say nothing about it.1He gives to the growth of society and the advancement of all about him. He Is a true benefactor, and though he adds not a word to the good name he bears he rears grander and nobler Jjtilf the true manhood he possesses. : Ffr his bounty : There was no winter in It; an autumn twas . That grew the more by reaping." We are constantly beset with the trouble of looking too much to. the ef fect and too little to the cause.

We should bear in mind that he embarks on a stormy voyage who. tries to trim his sales to suit every breeze of " popular favor. ' There is another, a just and whole some phase: to this subject. ' Every in dividual who goes ; to make up ' this society, is entitled, as ; the simplest principle, of Justice, to1 a proper rec ognition for. the part he contributes toward making it what -we- find it. - A good name truly earned and merited among us is like the gentle rains of mercy; "It twice blesseth; it blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

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..
