HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
viii Present Two Plays at Opera
House Tomorrow Night.

The annual High School play tha'
house tomorrow night by the mem
bers of the senior class bids fair
to surpass any former attempts by
the members OF the Elgh School.
The usual custom OF staging Shake
spcarian plays has been broken and
tomorrow night two Of the cleyercst
comedies that have ever been pre-
scnted will be the offering.
The frs, Lend Ne Five Shi.-
lings,' is a ripping one-act farce
comedy and doubtless viii keep the
audience in an uproar from the ris-
ing of the curtain until the bel!
This play has made more than one
ac or famous upon the American
stage, and Lawrence Tarver, who as
sumes the role of Mr.. Golghtly,
has all the goods with him and will
excel the famous Southern, whose
name has been linked with this
screaming farce.
The second play "a Scheme That
Failed" is in two acts and the
laughable situations that arise during
the course of this pay will make
it equally as popular as the one that
precedes It.
Miss Claudine wilkinson, the di-
redress, has spared no pains in the
training Of these amateurs and 4
treat is assured all those who take
advantage OF this opportunity to wit
ness two very clever comedies.

Mr.. Taft on Suffrage.

President Taft in an interview pub
Iished in the Woman's World is quot
ed as declaring that he is not M OF
those who believe that matrimony is
la necessity for women, and he de-
clares hat he agrees with the prin-
ciple OF woman suffrage.
Il wish that every girl In the world
were SO situated that she would not
think II necessary for her to marry
unless she wanted to- said Mr.. Taft.
81 would like to have the scheme Of
things SO arranged that women when
they come to decide as to matrimony
should have a full and unfettered
choice. This they can have only when
they are In such a position that they
are absolutely independent. Then IL
they decide TO marry they can turn
their faces seward tise new life WITH
the reasonable hope Of years Of UNI
mixed happiness.
Man
the girls OF the country q reach this
position, which Is their due- I believe
that the most important education
possible is that kind which may be
called Industrial vocational education,
the kind that puts young men and
young women In q position from
which they can BY their own efforts
work themselves to independence.
Il have ssaid in m Of my speeches
in various parts Of the country that I
am very glad indeed that ! shall have
no property to leave to my boys. To
my two sons | shall leave only a good
character, q good education and d
pride In themselves, but for my daugh-
ter / intend to scrape together as much
as I car give her and to train her
in such a manner that she shall take
In the great fact that for the sake of
her own happiness she shall marry
only when she chooses and not be-
| cause of circumstances. I am not one
Of those who believe that matrimony
Is q necessity for women"
On the question of suffrage
I Mr.. Taft said i want the women OF
| the country to have the full and I'M
qualified right OF suffrage as soon as
they all want Ii. When ! was sixteen
years old I wrote a graduating essay
entitled Woman Suffrage and In that

1t has long been the custom to give
the baby an ivory ring or other hard
