AT the Novelty.

When the Varsity four, a quartette, ap-
peared for their initial matinee of this
week, at the Novelty, they got off on the
wrong foot, to use a phrase from slang
parlance. They got SO badly off that the
strong points of the, principal singer
found it necessary to throw the spotlight
full on him, not merely to bring forth
his best situation, but also to shut out
the defects Of a deal of unexpressed wit
on the part Of another member of the
team.
After the first song. however. the quarto
of singers came out of their side-stepped
talent, and showed an excellent adapta-
bility to harmony. 1t then became evil
dent that theirs a streak of bad
luck and not lack of talent, for the house
rang with encore after encore as their
act progressed.
Amanda, a Russian violinist, who is
also the bill, is one of the attractions
which is destined to prove popular with
the Novelty audiences during the week.
The bill is really strong one. Sam Carl
ton, a character comedian, pleases, but
owing to the fact that there were two
Jewish sketches on the bill this week it
was found necessary to set him back until
next week, when he will appear. The
other Jewish act. Rome & Mayo. is good.
Davis & Wallen in an acrobattc act
have something that pleases the people.
Josahz, the burlesque magician, also is
good. Misses Viva Brown and Mabel
Ray are singing by the Light of the
Silvery Moon

Another. hour another day Another month-a another year Drop from us like the leaflets sere: Drop like. the. life blood: from our. hearts; The rose bloom. from our cheek departs; The tresses from our temples fall; The eye grows dim, and'strange to all, Time speeds away--away--away! Like torrent in a stormy. day. He undermines the stately tower Uproots the tree, and snapes the flower; And sweeps from our distracted breast The friends that loved, the friends that
 blessed; And leaves us weeping on the shore To which they can return no- more, Time speeds saway-away--away! No eagle through the skies of day; No wind along the hillsscan flee. So swiftly, or so smooth, as he: Like fiery, steed from stage to stage, He bears US on, from youth to age; Then plunges in the shoreless sea Of fathemless Eternity.

Taft Decides Supremacy In
 Arizona
Selects Morrison In Spite of SlOans
 Endorsement of Alexander
Fractional SquabbIe
Looks Like Triumph For The Smith,
 CamerOn-YOung Wing Of Republicans

To pay him for the speeches he delivered in the rast territor- ial campaign for Delegate Gamer on, President Taft has sent the name of Joseph E. Morrison of Bisbee to the senate to be United States attorney for Arizona to succeed J. l.. B. Alexander. one of the best federal prosecutors Arizona has yet had.
 Morrison's political preferment comes after an exceptionally bitter struggle in the republican ranks of Arizona, in which the leadership of the party in this territory has beef1 involved.
 When Governor Sloan accom- panied President Taft down the Mississippi river, Taft is report ed have said to the Arizona ex- ecutive: Governor, 1 look to you to advise me about what is best for Arizona, and to look after the welfare of the republican party there. Y"
 Sloan had the right to infer that he was to be the dominant influence in Arizona politics, and that the White House was to take it's inspiration from him. Believing this; he endorsed Alexander for reoppointment,
 Such republicans as Hoval A. Smith, Delegate Cameron, Sec retary Young, R. B. Morrison, and numerous others endorsed Morrison; and declared that he must be selected or the party would be torn into fragments in Arizona:
 Governor Sloan and those with him for Alexander appealed to President Taft to name Alexand- CT while the supporters of Morri- son carried their pleadings to Postmaster General Hitchcock. It was realized early that if Hitchcock was to have the say. Morrison would get the job.

 It tdoesh' take much to make a Big Event in Holbrook. At pres ent that town is all excited over the Christmas tree they are going to have out there. At a mass meeting the committees were appointed.

Unbelievable as it may seem. there are 20 people on the decorating committee, IT on the pop corn commettee, s to look after the tree;6 to select a Santa Claus, 8 to arrange the program, ' to look after the music, 8 to secure a hall, 8 on the treant committee; 8 on the toy comm ittee, 16 on the distributing com mittee; 5 on the names committee and 8 to do the soliciting. When a committee meeting is called it must take the entire able-bodied population away from their fire sides and places of business.

ALL MAY VOTE FOR
ANNEXATION AT
ONE ELECTION

The annexation campaign is
working splendidly and the whole
territory outside the city is to
come in at one election.
Instead of dividing up into lit
tie sections and causing endless
confusion by several local cleo
tions, the whole territory from
Puyallup to Steilacoom is to get
together on one petition, have one
election for the whole district
and vote 1t in. Then it will re-
quire but one ordinance by the
city council accepting the entire
territory.
This done, then Puyallup, Mil
ton and Steilacoom will come in
by consolidation.
To work out this program, a
subcommittee was appointed at
the Falkland meeting last night,
consisting of the chairman of each
community committee, which
committee will thresh the matter
out and fix the boundaries of the
territory.

tee. 1t is expected that the west
end, representing the intervening
territory this side of Steilacoom
will also name man for the COM
mittee, and the Milton section. and
the Puyallup end will also join
the movement.
Secretary Sommers of the
chamber of commerce last night
urged the matter be pushed as
fast as possible. The advice was
heartily seconded by the meeting
as the temper of the people is
high for annexation at once. They
all went in to give Tacoma credit
for the increase in population be-
fore the new census starts.
