...Herbert Tree and poetry divide this number between them, and on the whole the "noble knight" (as his Advocate critics have the strength of mind not to call him) has the best of it. We have Sir Herbert in two lights-professional and personal. Mr. Seymour reviews "Henry VIII" with the assurance and occasionally with the overflowing florescence of Mr. H. T.

It is safe to predict that in the momentous election in which it will participate this year for the first time it will be guided by the noblest of motives to which the human mind is capable of responding, for it is to such motives that youth has always responded. The certainty that youth will be on the side of national honor, faith and integrity is one of the comforting reflections of the hour. It promises to marshal the recruits of the class...
