The SECRET OISCLOSER
Part of 6uzzer Reed in the POSTMASTER
Is Well Handled by Harriet
Hurt.

In any play or story it is always
essential to have character that is
continually giving away the other
characters by telling their secrets and
then seeking other information for
their own benefit. There is such a
character in the Toastmaster, the play
to be given by the senior class Of the
high school at the operahouse this
coming Friday evening The part is
that of Buzzer Reed, Professor Reeds
youngest son, who discloses the fact
to Bill Morgan--dressed as a girl in
his attempt to recapture the toast
master-that POSTMASTER is hidden in
the coal bin. and then tells the fresh
men that the new hired girl is Bill
all dressed up in girls clothes
This part is very ably taken by Miss
Harriet Hunt, and promises to be one
of the most interesting parts OF the
play. as several childish pranks are
brought out in the part, as well as
those required to carry out the plot Of
the play.

Kandestober, in which are side split
ting lines and situations and the great
hall rang with laughter from start to
finish, the players being given unstint-
ed applause. The presentation of the
comedy was very complimentary both
to the students and their teachers.
After the play between 200 and 300
of the guests repaired to the large
dining hall, where well prepared ban
quet was enjoyed and between the
courses toasts were responded to. with
DR.. Hagen as toastmaster, who, as US

into his we'll timed remarks. the theme
of which was, that lows Of ones native

INCOME TAX IS
COMING ISSUE
REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS WOULD MAKE
1T SLOGAN OF THE NEXT
CAMPAIGN.

washington, May 1s.--W Whether a
democratic income tax amendment OF
similar republican measure is adopt
will have an important, bearing on the
campaign issues of the mex. pregiden
tial election. and II may Rave a big in
fiuence in determining whom the re-
publicans nominate for president.
There are two republican members
of the senate who are Lursing presi-
Dental ambitions. They are La Fol-
lette of wisconsin anu Cummins Of
Iowa, Both are of the progressive or
insurgent type, and represent diff
ferent policy entirely from that sus-
tained by. Senator Aldrich. the party
leader in the senate. La Follette's ag-
gressiveness does and has for some
time taken form in the agitation for
reform in railroad rate legislation.
cumn,ins for income Tax.
The Cummins claim for a national
issue is an income tax. Senator AL
drich and his conservative colleagues
In the senate, and their number is
diminishing, are opposed to both
plans. OF course at this ime railroad
rate legislation cannot Oe discussed to
any great degree, but e;e subject of
taxation is a mighty big issue. and
this fact Is giving the Cummins crowd
great opportunity to make hay while
the tariff is making.
The prominence that Senator Cum
minis has achieved during his Short
service in the senate--he has been q
~
been very encouraging to his friends,
who are pushing along his presidential
boom The insurgent republican sena-
tors have endorsed his income tax
idea, and held a conference at his
house while the lax amendment to
the Aldrich bill was under considera-
tion. The fact that this conference
was held at Senator Cu.nmins' own
house instead of that ui some older
senator is full of significance in itself.
Would Embarrass Democrats.
The fact that Cummins and the in
surgents are pressing an income tax
Is embarrassing to The democrats.
They would like to make that one of
the issues, If not the leading one, of
the next campaign, but to make Ii
effective it must be turned down hy a
republican congress. But according
to Senator Culberson, the party leader
in. the senate, the democrat win not
refuse to vote for an income tax just
because it happens to be offered by
republicans, though they would pre-
fer to vote for the Bailey income tax
amendment. If after the defeat of
the Cummins amendment, the insur-
gent republicans should vote for the
Bailey amendment, democratic
measure, and 1t should be adopted,
the income tax would be lost as a
campaign issue, but there is slight
chance for this

SIMPSON Will
PLEAD "GUILTY"
THAT WAS ANNOUNCEMENT
MADE THIS MORNING FROM Az
THoRIrATlvE SOURCE - NO
CHANCE FOR DEFENSE BEFORE
JURY IN DISTRICT COURT.

According to information from q
most reliable source, Edward w. Simp-
SON, colored, will this week enter a
plea of guilty to the charge of murder
in the first degree and throw himself
on the mercy of the court in an en-
deavor to escape the gallows.
without a witness to call to testify
in behalf of the accused colored man
or one straw of evidence on which to
base a plea of self defense, Atty. T.
II. McEnroe has worked in vain dur
ing the past few weeks.
In the meantime Simpson maintains
that he is guilty of nothing, despite
the fact that he admits having shot
Charles Clarke. His attitude has been
puzzling throughout.
There is possibility that he will
object to the guilty plea but with the
rope staring him in the face in one
case and life in prison in the other, 1t
is likely that explanation or persua-
sion will bring the matter clear before
him.
1t was announced with authority this
morning that the case would never
come to trial.
