and the most prominent people
took part in the fight against the
saloons. Such an election was
never before seen in Clarksville.
Early in the morning two thous-
and men, women and children pa
raded the streets waving banners
and singing inspiring songs, and
prominent men and women worked
faithfully at the polls throughout
the day and prayers were offered
for the success of the cause at the
court house, where several hundred

The oxford pageant, which ran
from June 81 to July 3, achieved
brilliant success and attracted thou
sands of American visitors to the
old university town. That OF Rom
sey abbey, which preceded it, was
scarcely less notable triumph. The
gray abbey itself, the milenary OF
whose foundation was thus commem-
example of a Norman conventical
building in the kingdom. 1t Is true
to its type-a sturdy bulldog Of a
building. Doubtless that is why it
has lasted out the centuries so won
derfully.
Mr.. Parker when appealed to as to
the possibility Of successful histo iical
pageants in America replied
My knowledge of American his
tory is limited, but | should say that
towns in America with histories suit
ed to reproduction in the form Of
pageants are rare. But there are a
few of them that would lend them
selves to such a purpose admirably.
Plymouth, Mass, for intsance, would
be an ideal place for such a show.
could imagine none better in America
According to my ideas. speaking off
hand, an historic pageant there should
be worked out something like this:
The first tableau should depict a
scene in the English town from
whence 1t takes its name. Successive
tableaux should represent the landing
Of the Pilgrim fathers, the early trials
OF the settlers and their struggles
with the Indians, the split with the
mother land, and so on through the
independent history Of the country
Salem, Mass, is another town that
affords abundant material for an his
toric pageant, the witch incident, es-
pecially, being we'll adapted to dra-
matte representation. Boston is an.
other city that has the necessary his.
tory, but fine city though 1t is, from
what | have seen of 1t should say It's
people are too busy to bother about
| pageantS. Inc same Is true or New
York. It's population is too cosmo-
politan and too much absorbed in
trade and commerce to enter with en-
thusiasm into the preparation of an
historic pageant There are many
people there who know nothing and
care nothing about the history of the
city"
But the towns ia America whose
history goes back far enough to af-
ford good material for the presenta-
ton of pageants in them are by no
means so limited as Mr.. Parker ap-
pears to think. Anybody familiar
with American history could easily
specify a dozen or more that would
well answer the purpose.

have been chosen to discuss the ef.
feet OF such effort in the various IN
dustries of the country who have made
a thorough study and know whereof
they speak. Not only have irrigation
lists and agrIculturists been invited to
attend the sessions Of the congress-
but the manufacturers Of the east,
whose business is dependent upon
streams for power, the southerner
who must drain his land in order to
make it fruitful and the man of COM

In addition to such attendance Con.
gressman Theodore E. Burton Of Ohio
chairman of the Inland Waterways
commission, has notified the chairman
OF the executive committee that the
commission will be represented at
the fifteenth session The following
members of the commission have been
delegated by Mr.. Burton to represent
that body in the irrigation congress:
Senator Francis Newlands OF Nevada,
Senator John H. Bankhoad of Ala
bama. Clifford PiuChot United States
forester, IT, II. Newell, director recla-
nation service; and Dr. w, ]. MCGEE,
secretary of the commission, and for
NOR president of the National Geo

members Of this very important body

congress TO what extent the specific
work of the commission will figure in
the discussion cannot be foretold but
it Is certain that the larger effort in
the direction of the streams and the
preservation Of their watersheds will
form an important topic of general
discussion.
The suggestion that the eastern for
est reserve question be discussed at
the session has created much interest
among prominent men Of the eastern
states who are identified with the
movement to establish reserves in the
Appalachian and White mountains.
Letters have been received from all
over the eastern states approving the
suggestion and expressing the hope
that the matter will be scheduled for
discussion at the Sacramento meet
