PLAYS LAST NIGHT
At OAHU COLLEGE

Amateur theatricals at Oahu College
have brought out fine young player folk
among the students, and the little
dramas that are given there go with
something like professional vim and
snap.
.Miss Civilization and The
Romancers were put on last night at
Charles R. Bishop Hall. In the first
little play, one written for Ethel Bar
rymore, Edith H. Smith had the lead
ing role. As Alice Gardner, in house
alone with a sick mother, she discover
ed that burglars were making an en-
trance; and going to the dining-room
telephoned for help, entertaining the
burglars after they had entered until
the police came. The burglars were
represented by Rexford Hitchcock
Watson Ballentyne and William Desha
and the police by Alfred Young, Dextel
Fraser, Harry Lucas, VIM. Patty, Gle
ment Akina, William Lidgate and Vim
cent Genoves. Cornelia Gilman was tn
mother of Alice, but her part did no
require her to be on the stage. Mis-
Smith had hard part but carried tn
role gracefully and the others effective
ly supported her.

A PSALM FOR HAWAII

Fair is she In the morning light
Awaking from dreams of the night;
Bathed in the morning dew;
skylark thrilling the wide world through
AS he drops the ether blue.
4 rainbow spanning the mountain height
With tints of heaven s own hue.
Old ocean singing psalm of delight
As the dawn comes swiftly out of the night
And the waves wild with glee
As she flashes her light on the surf of the
Wild with glee-at the foot of old Diamond Head
In the glorious morning light.
Through the long, long beautiful day,
Keep us-O God--we pray!
Fair is she in the sunset light
When the world is waiting the hush of night,
And the winds have gone to Sleep
When softly the purple shadows lie
On the velvet hills Of Waaiae-
And wild and sweet i the plover's cry
AS he skins the foaming deep
And the lights of the fisher boats CLEAN from affair."
And out in the west the evening STAR
And the glory grows and grows
To symphony divine
Thy symphony--God- dali Thinei
Fair is she in the silent night
When the world is hashed in sleep;
And Orion keeps watch and ward
With his iewelled sword
And Sirius blazes with eolors of light
Through the splendid tropical night,
And the Peiades keep on their beautiful way
And all the radiant hosts-in grand array
Come forth to meet the day.
Through the and silent night,
Keep ns-O Colby Thy might!

If northern Idaho has any favorite

s. d. TAYLOR

Pocatello Tribune.
BY the adoption of resolution
commencing the excellent work OF
the newspaper men who are now
members of the state administration
the Eastern Idaho Press club paid
compliments to the really deserving.
1t was natural for the boys of the
press bunch to take pleasure in
throwing boquets to a couple Of
chaps who have worked In the news
paper harness and sweated on the
OF Idaho journalism. But
back Of the compliments there was a
knowledge of good work well dore
1t has come to be recognized that the
Gem state never had a better state
auditor than s. D. Taylor, and that
as pure food commissioner James
H. Wallis has all his predecessors In
that Office backed Off the dump. Mr.,
TAYLOR is making an enviable record.
Prior to the campaign of last year
he was little known in this section of
theSstate, but since he has taken over
the reins of Office he is getting ac-
quainted through the pursuit of the
policy of square deal to all. No
man can ask more of a public official.
What Is true Of Mr.. TAYLOR is true OF
Jim" Wallis. The latter is max
ing some enemies. through his rigid
enforcement of the state pure food
law, but these enemies are among a
class of violators of the law to call
whom enemies is almost an honor. II
can be said of Commissioner Wallis
that we love him for the enemies that
he has made, but above all we admire
him for his fearlessness, his single
ness of purpose and his faithfulness
to the trust imposed upon him.
II out of the newspaper profession
in Idaho 1t is possible to select men
who make such excellent officials as
s. d. Taylor and James n. Wallis
then there is good ground for the
Eastern Idaho Press club in harbor-
ing sort OF dream OF making other
selections.

THE CITY BUSINESS

After the reading Of the minutes
the council went into executive ses-
sion with Sewer Engineer il. q. KEEL
| sey and the sewer commission. What
ever they considered was kept secret
for the protection Of the city's inter-
ests, and will be until contracts are
let for construction.
| The sewer commission consists OF
G. w. Bergman, John C. Millick and
Harry Bennett. Mr.. Bennett not be-
ling present. The notice for bids ap-
pears in this issue, and December 21st
ats p. M. was fixed as the date for
opening bids.
After discussing some of the de-
tails of the work Of placing signs on
street corners to name the streets,
Councilman Bowen asked that the
street light ordered to light the eros
sing of the Mackay tracks on south
Taylor streets be placed between the
tracks. This was not considered
practical under existing ordinances
and it was ordered placed near the
south side of Bingham street at the
intersection of Tayor, making it as
near the tracks as possible.

Residents of the southeastern part
OF town petitioned for an arc light at
the intersection Of University and
South streets, and the same was
granted. The location is the corner
where Mrs. Albert Anderson lives. at

After the vote was taken the ques-
tion was asked, where are we 60

Extending Fire Limits

tee was instructed to investigate the
question Of extending the fire limit
on the north end of town.
Chief of Police Hilliard reported
that he could get earth for filling in
the low place near the electric light
plant from w. F. Martin by putting
on teams and scrapers to make an ex.
cavation on his south lots, and that il
would probably not cost more than
half or one third as much as to hau
