captain Of Plymouth" Pleased.

The Captain of Plymouth" was
played to large and appreciative au-
dience at the opera house last Satur-
day evening.
The play was given by the pupils
Of the eighth grade and the fresh
men; and the teachers who have
worked diligently in drilling them de-
serve much credit. Young people
naturally love to act and when the
hour comes for appearing on the
stage, all the tedious hours Of prac-
tice are forgotten.
The play was musical comedy
and all who participated played their
parts we'll. George Copp who played
the part of Elder Brewster had all the
troubles that usually fall to the lot
of a pillar Of the church" but han
died them all creditably. Henry Hal
vorson as John Alden quite forgot
that it was only comedy, for to him
the task of wooing for another was a
real tragedy and not till in the last
act where he weds fair Priscilla is he
restored to his naturally good humor.
Ingeborg Erickson as Priscilla did
well and only differed from the orig
inal fair maid of Plymouth, in that
she had not yet mastered the art of
/ spinning. in fact it looked as though
the spinning wheel had little the
best Of her. But never mind, my mo-
! .derns Priscilla, anyone who has tried
even to spin a yarn can sympathize
with you. The play centered chiefly
around t'sse Captain Of Plymouth
played by Ralph Rue, "the original
Yankee Doodle who only envied JUL
us Caesars fame" and to whom was
given the undying devotion Of Katon-
Eka, the Indian maiden played by Edna
Lindquist, who no doubt would have
landed him had it not been as the
Captain said: that ssLongfellow didn''
tell him to-"
Mercy, Charity, Patience and tht
/ other Plymouth Daisies had all The
virtues that their sweet names i'm
| p]ieG and many more. The Indian!
too, appeared quite at home on tn,
Ij.stage, and the soldiers and sailor
4 were there also Of the choruses tn,
|! last one was perhaps the best.

tertaining program was presented

Of five contestants, several musical
numbers Of high order.

lection, in a very pleasing manner.
George Magnuson declaimed "Sven
Elfsson" forcibly and with good eff
feet. A selection named "Andtligen"
was beautifully rendered by Miss Ida
Strandberg. Her voice, enunciation
and pleasing delivery brought out
we'll the melodious beauty Of the
Swedish language. Miss Esther
Thompson declaimed "Musikens An
gel", long and difficult selection in
a very skillful manner. Oscar Setter
lund rendered humorous selection,
CEN f0rsigtig budbarare," in a very
pleasing manner and with excellent
dramatic effect.
1 At the close of the contest, the
/ judges awarded the first prize, s5, to
Oscar Setterlund, the second prize
SO, to Ida Strandberg, and the third
prize, So, to Esther Thompson. Each
of the five contestants was also pre-
sented with a book.
Z; Among the musical numbers, the
/ selections from "Gluntarne" a Swed
ish composition, sang by Hans Urtes
and N. 3. Bystrom, was greatly ap
preciated. The singing by the stu
dent sextette and by ladies' quar-
tette was much enjoyed, as was alst

ernor of South Carolina, I inaugural ed in my state the parole system, and granted hundreds of paroles. I was as vigirously condemned on the one hand and as heartily praised on the other for nearly every decision I reached upon each individual case, as any man who has ever been in public life ill the history of this country. I cared not for the condemnation or the praise. The parole system which lnaugurated was entirely successful. out of the hundreds of paroles grant ed' very few failed to lead good lives.
 Il believe more firmly today than ever before in tn parole systm as the most advanced step that has ever been taken prison reform.
 Hits Prison Whipping.
 believe that the whipping of prisoners should be forbidden except Tn cases of wilful disobedience of ruled or acts of insubordination, and that then the whipping should be ad- m1nlstered only in the presence of dis interested citizens of good repute who are not connected in any way, direct " or indirectly, with the institution The people of the nation would be mortified if they knew of the fearful brutality practiced in our prisons the merciless whippings, the electric snocks, and other forms of shocking cruelty
 In the majority of cases the fam fly of a prisoner suffers more than the prisoner himself. It seems to me that much of this suffering could be relieved by paying to the dependent family of a prisoner a small compen- sation for the prisoners labor.
