Junior Play Makes
Hit with Audience

Dixie" was a 'humdinger' from
the word go and was attended
by all the Arvada people who
could be packed like sardlnes in
a box into Bank hall. A more
responsive audience never assem-
bled. Every climax was met
with vociferous applause, and
there was climax in every line.
Miss Lena APPEL played leading
lady with charming grace and
looked the part of a beautiful
southern heiress, while Herbert
Schwamb hero in the heart in
terest of love and duty, acquitted
himself in real soldierly fashion
and made a handsome appearance
as Colonel Harvey Wells, in the
Federal army. Clifford Null
played the role of George
Washington, Father of His Coun-
try Bangs" in the typical breazy
fashion of a Herald reporter, be-
sides being leader of the orches-
ira and general utility man.
Dave Lesher made a big hit as
Hon. j. G. DuZenbury, a men,
ber of Congress and Irene Muir
Gibson very ably interpreted the
part of Mrs. Duzenberry, a
Business Woman. She was
the politician of the family and
the success of her easy going
mate was evidently due to her
sagacious efforts.
John Foster as Maj. Bradley of
the Confederate army was a
crafty and despicsble rival Of
Col. Harvey Wells for the hand
of the southern heiress.
Carl Kelstrom, as Corporal
Hooligan, a True Blue veteran,
was a valient support Of Colonel
Wells, who owed his life to Hool-
igan's self sacrifices in Libby
prison, while Glenn Wagner as
Billings, Bradley's henchman
was of equal value to the
Major in carrying out his schemes
of treachery and contempt for
his northern foe and hated rival.
Fred Bishop, as "Hezekiah
Sniffins" a degenerate yankee
left no room for doubt that he
was out for graft and would use
any means fair or foul to crafty
his craving for filthy lucre."
Fred Secrest created much
merriment by his well affected
stupidity as Uncle Mosley,W a
faithful slave and Florence Miller
was an even match for him as
Susanna, Jis a black niger.
Ruth Campbell made a most
favorable appearance as molly
Martin, Helen Trevoir's lively
friend.
On the whole there was real
talent shown by the amateur
players and it would not be sur
prising to hear that some day
some of the Arvada Juniors had
won fame as dramatic entertain
ers.
The orchestra received great
ovations after each selection and
was made up from the ranks of
Arvada's group of musicians. 1t
comprised seven pieces as fol-
lows:
First and second violin, Clifford
Null and Earl Southworth, piano
accompanist, Miss Isabel Hooper;
clarinet, j. C. Munal; slide from.
bone, Tony Muench; cornet, Err.
nest Rippetoe; trap drummer,
Harry Stannard.
The audience was greatly dis
appointed at not hearing Walter
r. James, he having been adver.
tised to sing, but being unable tc
be present on account of a severe
attack of rheumatism which has
kept him confined to his bed for
several days the past week.

The lroquis Company.

The rehearsals for THE Littld
Politician" have reached the
point of most difficulty to the
amateur members of the Iroquis
cast. The play is practically per-
feet SO far as elocution and de-
pertinent are concerned; now the
problems Of stage management
must be solved. Stage manage
ment means the perfection of
stage action. And perfect stage
action is not action natural, as
seen in the motion pictures, but
action of a very different sort.
Therein lies the difficulty for the
directors and players, for the
players, ordinarily, cannot be
made TO understand at first the
absolute necessity for the slight
Iy abnormal action.
The management has purchas-
ed some Of the properties used
by the High School Juniors in
their recent play. These include
the large blank curtain, which
will be used for drops and block
ing, and the brown end blocking.
Mr., Juchem went to Denver
Tuesday to see how the work on
the curtain was progressing. 1t
far exceeds his expectations, he
said. Mr.. Schellenger was una
bic TO more than start the work
on the curtain, due to the great
press Of business at this season
and so turned the work over to a
Denver artist.

UNIVERSAL PEACE Big
QUESTION FOR YOUNG
Dr.. David Starr Jordan Speaks at
Commercial Club Dinner-Nation
with Credit to Settle War.

England will find her colonial posses
sions loyal because she never has Kept
them close refined. DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan, chancellor Of Leland Stanford Ju-
nior University, said in a speech last
night at a dinner in his honor at the
Commercial Club.
THE only way to hold n possession or
that kind is to let go OF it," said DR..
Jordan. india does not want to let go
OF the helping hand OF Gr.sat Britnln
&c, take hold Of the mailed fist of soms
other country. The reason the recent
Boer uprising was suppressed tS that
most Beers remained loyal because OF
the fairness OF Great Britain. II Eng
land held Canada for six months as Ger
many has held Alsace-Lorraine there
would be an uprising.
THE problem OF universal peace IS
a problem for the young men OF the
world: what Is needed most is to organ
iEe bodies OF young men-university men
or insurance men-to obtain peace.
This war will be settled in the end
by the country with credit: the Country
that can borrow money from he United
States People do not consider the cost
of war: they seem to think that Ger
many, after using all its men and money
will borrow the money in Philadelphia
or New York to attack South America.
''The end of the war will see complete
exhaustion. with much OF the pride OF
nations gone. There can be no great
victory; naval victory Of whatever
magnitude can have no Permanent effect;
a defeat OF an army can have no great
effect on the war. This war really has
been going on for six years; there has
been no real peace in Europe In that
time"

With the convenIng Of Congress yes

paign, when Mrs. Antoinette Funk, chair
man OF the committee, sent to every
member of the House pointed letter.
requesting their views regarding the
movement generally. and urging q seri-
Gus consideration Of the cause.
The three suffrage measures now before
Congress-the Bristow-Mondell resolution,
the Shafroth-Palmer resolution and the
French bill-briefly were outlined in the
letter. The attitude OF every member
toward each bill was asked.
Following is q part OF the letter:
Women from all over the United States
are under no misapprehension as TO the
attitude OF Congressman generally to-
ward their demands, and they insist that
this committee make II clear to Con-
gress that we no longer are in the
elementary. educational or sentimental
stages. Our problem Is one Of practical
politics. and Federal lawmakers are now
facing q widespread demand to give this
question its proper consideration"

new MILK Law NEEDED,
COMMISSIONERS REPORT
Campaign of Education and Proseeu-
ton of Violators in Vain.
They Tell Congress.

In their annual report to Congress yes
terday the District Commissioners called
attention to the bill for the betterment
Of the milk supply and urged Its early
enactment. That efforts to secure bet
ter milk supply for the District had failed
during the year Just passed was natly
admitted. The campaigns Of education
and the prosecutions by the Health De-
partment against dealers Of impure milk
met with little success, the report
stated. This the report held was due
to defendants being aided financially oy
certain dealers throughout the country.
The report is, In part: The prosecu-
tions against dispensers Of adulterated
milk have failed because of the de-
termined opposition Of the defendants
who have secured the financial support
Of a certain class Of dealers through
out the country who are resorting to all
kinds OF dilatory tactics. At the writ
ing OF this report these cases are undis-
posed OF, while the action in many 9TH
ers is suspended awaiting the result.
These cases demonstrate the need Of a
better law regulating the milk supply
OF the District
when the milk dealer defends himself
in court by evidence undertaking to
show that even the vilest forms Of NTH
may be properly introduced into milk
SO long as their detection is impossible
It is manifest that statutary definitions
as to what constitutes adulterated milk
would be of great advantage"
