PLEASING PERFORMANCE
JOLLY DOZEN CLUB PRESENTS a
CASE OF SUSPENSION" To A
RAINY DAY AUDIENCE.

One of the best amateur entertain
mcnts ever given in Brownsville was
see nat Ilinklcy hall last night. This
was the occasion of the entertainment
given by the Jolly Dozen club for the
benefit Of the high school athletic fund.
The entertainers were handicapped IN
their efforts OH account of the wrcichcd
condition of the weather. which began
To be- disagrccable early in the day and
continued disagrccablc through the after
noon aud night with plenty left over
for today. Also there was tronblc with
the lights. which had a habit of going
out most inopporiuncly.
In spite Of the bad weather there was
a surprising fine audience and there j.
no reason To doubt the house would have
been crowded had the weather been nor
NAL. The entertainment divided itself
into practically two equal parts In the
first part there was a repetition Of the
ballet performed at the rendition of
The Bohemian Girl" recently. The bal
lei was even more enthusiastically re
ccive,l the second time than il was the
iiiNis NV blli'l NiN ltif'NtU Nv ~l"Aidi
songs by Miss Alberta Archer and q. l..

songs and the singers of them was re-
ceived was one of the most striking feat
ureS of this very striking entertainment.
Miss Archer sang Mucctta's waltz
song AMI "~ProloSal." by Mary Turner
S%aultcr. Mr.. Scott rcrcatri The Heart
Bowed Down. from The bohemian

The concluding number of the program
was "A Case Of Suspension" rendered
by the girls 81 The jelly Dozen club, with
the assistance uf some Of the high school
boys. This il the sort of farce that is
sometimes described n screaming" Ia

''Let Us Haze Peace" Says ~
4s William Randolph Hearst

GUM and; England. whose ait and
whose utmost strength they may at
any time need to support themselves
in their mighty task of repelf!i,g Or
iental assault? t, &t
Why should Europe decinlate its
forces and destroy Its own power.
when at any time its whole force
and It's full power and Its united ef-
fort may be needed In a supreme
struggle to rescue the civilization of
Europe from submersion in an over
whelming flood of barbarian.
Let us have peace: and let this
great American nation exercise its
power and influence in behalf of hui
manity and human progress.
Furthermore. America Is almost as
much concerned as Europe in the
, menace of Asia. We do not come in
to immediate contact with II In the
east as the countries OF Europe do!
but we are coming into closer and
closer contact and eventual and In
evitnble conflict with 1t on our vest.
For reasons of selfish interest as
well as OF human interest, therefore.
1t is Americas duty to exert its ut
most Influence TO conserve and unite
under the banners of peace and pro-
gress, the forces of civilization
Let us raise our, voice so loudly
and exercise our influence 80 strong
ly that Europe. will be compelled to
stop for n moment and to listen to
the voice of reason, to the appeal Of
humanity. to consider for moment
not merely our interests hut their
own interests. the interests of all
civilization, the best interests OF the
whole human race.
Peace upon terms honorable to all
can be secured, and the wealth and
the power and the legi0ns Of Europe
preserved and reserved for a greater
purpose. not for the destruction Of
civilization. but for its sure protec-
tion in the crises to come.

There is no reason for the Ameri

We condemn the monarchitl systems,

We sympathiZe most deeply with

ants agreed to play five more holes
to determine the winner. Oscar took
1 and 3. and Clyde walked off with
2 and 4: No. was halted. and still
no decision. 1t was getting dark,
and to settle the dispute the two men
agreed to play afull game Sunday
morning. The next morning history
seemed to repeat itself. First one
and then the other took the lead, and
the seventeenth hole In the morn
ing's play and fortieth hole In the
contest, found both men battling val
iantly and, honors still even. Then
came that ne'er to be forgotten
forty first. Both men made good
drives followed up with sure and
careful approach and landed on the
eighteenth green even up. But the
psychological moment had arrived:
An unfortunate put" and White
scarver was forced to hoist the white
flag. Samuels rolled in 4 and Clyde
followed too late. ..
1t was the longest contest ever
played in southern Colorado. Both
men played fast and careful and hon.
ors were about even all the way. The
closeness of the contest is evidenced
by the fact that there was only three
strokes difference at the conclusion
of the forty-tirst hole. Both men
struck an average of about 40 for
is holes, which is exceedingly fast
playing for the Country club course.
AS Monty" says, if you get good on
this course, you will be some pump

SENATOR James P. Boyle has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
congress in the Eighth district in
opposition to Congressman Clarence
B. Miller. Mr.. Miller has as yet
not announced himself. Mr.. Boyle
is a good man for the place and in
case Mr.. Miller decides to again
become candidate the campaign
promises something more than
usual in the line of good election
eering and talks. Mr.. Miller has
made a good congressman and
while he did not have postoffices
enough to go around he has many
staunch friends who will stick to
him in the coming scrap should he
decide to be a candidate. It is
really too bad that two SUCH able
men should be pitted against one
another. They should both be in
congress.
