From start to finish 1.-The Cat and

night, was merry musical jingle 1t is
something out of the Ordinary-a con-
tinuation of pretty scenery. pretty mu-

THE Cat and the Fiddle" AS the name
would suggest there is a cat and a
fiddle in the play, but these, while they
play an important part, do not burden
the extravaganza to the extent of max

is from beginning to end, a fairy tale,
but there is so much music so much
mirth and merriment, that the big au-
dience last night was thoroughly in
terested, amused and contented to
watch through the whole three acts
with their constant changing of scenes.
And the scenes were, indeed, on the
scale of gorgeous. To describe any as
being more gorgeous than the others
would be almost superfiuous, as all
were marked with special splendor

NEW ERA FOR WHITMAN
COLLEGE.

Whitman college is congratulated on
the splendid prospects ahead of it,
as indicated by the report of a largely
opening. 1t is apparent that the college
at Walla Walla has already attained
greater and enviable prominence
through the plan which was started
some time ago to enlarge its facilities
and place it on a broader basis. The
proposal to make Whitman college an
institution that will intimately stand
on an equal footing with the big east
ern universities seems to be bearing
fruit even while yet in the early stages
OF its inception.
Inland Empire than the public interest
here taken in educational progress.
This interest has notably manifested
itself in a hearty Endorsement of the
greater Whitman" plans, and the sup
port which the movement has received
gives gratifying assurance of its sue
cessful development.
The scheme is one that will bring
fame and advantage not merely to the
institution itself, but to the whole In
land empire. in which it occupies a
central position. 1t is stated that al
ready students are coming from much
new territory, and in the course of the
next few years the enrolment, now
gratifyingly large, will be materially
increased. 1t is, indeed. not impossible
that the attendance may outgrow the
capacity before the new plans are full
ly consummated.
Whitman college has made a name
for itself through the high qualifica-
lions of its faculty, the excellence of
its curriculum and the results achieved
by its graduates Its future growth

"Coninu Thros the Rye.

produced by the great number one
company of Is comedians, singers and

with it's remarkable success from
the beginning, and with an equipment
of scenery and costumes which is de-
scribed as unusually elaborate and
beautiful. 1t would seem impossible to
overestimate the high character of this

GETTING TAFT ELECTED"

my main interest at the present is
in getting Mr.. Taft elected. When
that is done I'll be through with my
Job as pres dent"
There are many people in the United
States who never before knew that
part of the duties of a president con-
sisted in getting Mr. Taft elected. y
There are many who believe that it
was the duty of the people to look
after the election of a successor to a
retiring president.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has spoken and
the country now knows that hence
forth it will be the duty of the presi-
dent to see that his personal choice is
chosen to occupy the executive man
sion.
1t was hoped by many sincere ad-
mirers of the president that after he
had foiSted Taft upon an unwilling
republican convention. he would keep
hands off in the election, allowing the
people-the same people who elevated
Mr.. Roosevelt to the presidency-to
exercise their free choice in the cleo
ton of the opposing candidates. But
apparently such plan is not at
in keeping with Mr.. ROosevelt's con-
ception of the dignity of his position.
So, my main interest at the pres
ent is in getting Mr.. Taft elected" and
then Til be through with my job as
president
The country has at least the salts
faction Of knowing that Mr.. Roosev<
has the job of his life on his hands.
