others are pressing private claims for

lobbyists. They do not deny it.
Why. then. are they not asked these
questions: How did you happen to
enter the service in which you now
are engaged. and when did the pay
begin? Did you become an ex-Con

In going to Gov. Suffers support Mr..
Roosevelt has done an inspiring thing.
AS third-party leader he has risen
above partisan considerations and vol.

Minstrel Entertainment

20 say tnat the minstrel enter
tainment last Thursday evening by
local talent, for the benefit of the
Improvement club was "the event
of the season." would be putting it
mildly. 1t was without doubt the
greatest event of this character that
Friday Harbor ever saw. Any COM
munity could we'll feel proud of the
dramatic and musical talent dis
played, and we question if there
are many places that could put on
a First Part equal to that presented
here. Manager Washburn has every
reason to feel proud at the outcome
of his undertaking, and is entitled
to vote of thanks because of the
good judgment shown in surround
ing himself with such an excellent
executive staff. and for his untiring
efforts toward making the perform
ance a success.
The house was crowded to the
doors, about one hundred seats be-
ing taken by people from East Sound.
West Sound, Orcas, Lopez and other
points. and many were at the doors
unable to secure admission.
The. stage setting, the lighting
effects, the excellent music, all con-
tributed to the success of the eve
ming.
Every number of Part l was
heartily encored. and c. P. Wash
burn and F. P. Christensen in their
comic selections were recalled
several times. These two individ-
uals as end-men made a team not
often equalled. Each song is worthy
of special mention, but space for
bids. The bass solos-"Down in
the Deep Let Me Sleep When Die"
by W. F. Lampard, and when the
Bell in the Lighthouse Rings Ding
Dong" by DR.. Reed are seldom
equalled on any stage. 1t may be
said that the chorous was the finest
Friday Harbor audience ever had
the pleasure of listening to. and the
thought in the. minds of many has
been that some occasion should be
provided for getting this combin-
alton of excellent voices together
again. Mr.. F.P. Christensen drilled
the voices and has shown himself a
master hand.
The clio was not so we'll enjoyed
as was anticipated. The one-act
farce-comedy by Miss Laura Ewes,
Gene C. Gould and the iceman, was
a sure hit. and showed talent of a
high degree. The audience was on tip
toe as the curtain dropped. But from
this on the interest Jagged. The
entertainment was late in starting,
and nearly two hours and half of
music and fun had passed, and
everyone was somewhat weary.
Could that which followed have
been introduced earlier in the pro-
gram it would no doubt have been
highly appreciated, but it seemed
to drag. and one or two bitches
made all more or less tedious. How
ever, everybody went home with
only words Of praise for every song
every joke and every act.
