HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
 PRESENT COMIC OPERA
The Captain of Plymouth is Given Under Auspices of the Expression Department at
 Auditorium Thursday Evening

The Captain of Plymouth, an oper- etta in three acts, was presented Thursday night, December 21st, in the High School Auditorium.
 The first scene was laid on the coast of Plymouth The curtain rose dis covering the main characters and chorus of Puritan men and maids. The plot of the opera was the woeing by proxy of Priscilla by John Alden for Captain Miles Standish. Complca- tions arose when John being encour- aged by Priscilla to speak for himself, declared his own love for her. Then, too, Katonka, the Indian princess, who had rescued Miles and Erasmus from the Indian braves, asserted the prior claims upon the captain. The play ended with John in possession of Pris- cilla although Captain Miles refused to wed Katonka because Mr. Long fellow hadn't told him to.
 The characters were well represent ed as follows:
 Miles Standish, Jim Bush.
 John. Alden, Malcolm Brooks. Elder Brewster, Carl Wood.
 Erasmus, Miles right bower, Billie Bob Thrasher.
 Wattawamut, chief of the Pequots, | Warren Roseman.
 Pecksuot, an Indian messenger, Brice Cummins.
 Lads of the Colony-Richard, Jack Jones; Stephen, Bracy Haynie; Gil bert, Allen Greeson.
 Priscilla, the fairest maid in Ply mouth, Jeanette Burns.
 Katonka, an Indian princess, Lois Bomar.
 Mercy, an early American girl Lillian Haltom.
 A seXtette of Plymouth daisies Charity, Lula Beth Gee; Patience, Elbe White; Mary, Frances Jordan; Martha, Amelia White; Hester, Jerre Johnson; Ruth, Margaret Hart.
 Chorus-Soldiers, Sailors, Indians, Squaws, Puritan men and maidens.
 Director, Miss Erin Higginbotham
 Pianist, Miss Ethel Bailey.
 The chorus of Indians, Puritans and sailors received hearty applause.
 Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Higginbotham for her enthus- ia ctic and Darsoveri,,r ,,,o,l. ; .,.o;,, in" the east The success of the oper- etta is largely due to her. Miss Bailey's excellent accompaniment at the piano aided largely in the musical
 ~+ o' the entertainment.

He was told that the law applied to

banks oil the northwest that money
was available to loan on storage re-

IF YOU low me, vote for Hughes is
an injunction that proved too hard a
strain on the liking that the 10000
miners Of the Wilkes-Balre district
once had for Col. Roosevelt. He tried
it OIL them, in what was intended to be
the biggest labor meeting of the
Hughes campaign, and the result was
Il frost.
Not only did the crowd listen to the
Colonel's speech in stony silence, but
Wilson enthusiasm threatened to be-
come 50 boisterous that Mayor Kosek
called out the State C%onstabulary TO
guarantee MI. Roosevelt a courteous
reception. The Mayor had denied the
miners g permit to give Il Wilson pa
rade or the night of the ColoneIs visit,
and, when they attempted to violate
his order, directed the armed and
mounted Constabulary to drive them
from the streets.
Col. Roosevelt's closest friend in
Wilkes-Barre, Father j. j. Curran.
went out with a reception committee
to meet the visitor, but announced
that, friendship aside. he had left the
Republican party, and was support
ing President Wilson.
Another indication of the popular
trend in the anthracite coal region is
given in Il statement by Stephen j.
Hughes, city clerk Of Hazleton, and a
delegate to the Republican national
convention in 1912.
Concerning the unauthorized use
of my name as a member Of the re-
ception committee for Col. Roosevelt"
says Mr.. Hughes, II wish to state
emphatically: l "a a volunteer in the

PROSPERITY OF FARMERS.

. That the farmer is getting a

prosperity, is evidenced by pre-

PEACE Or War The ISSUE.

Speaking at Battle Creek, Mich,
Sept. 30 last, Theodore Roosevelt said:
q! have been asked what would have
done had | been President when the
Lusitania was torpcdoed.
~ would have instantly taken posses
sion of every German ship informed in
this country and then would have
said: Nov we will discuss, not what
we will give, but what we will give
back!'"
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
WAR!
1t would have been a challenge to
the German nation to Il trial at arms.
1T would have been a violation of ev-
cry principle Of neutrality, and at n
time, WITH al! Europe under arms.
when this country was the trustee Of
and the Oily nation capable of uphold
ing neutral rights.
The seizure itself would have been
an act of war. just as the seizure of
German informed, ships Ivy Portugal
was regarded as an act of war and
was followed by an immediate declara-
ton of wal by Germany against Por-
tugal.
Following the same line of wal talk.
speaking at Lewiston, Maine, Aug. 81
last, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
THE policies of .A~mericanism and
preparedness. taken together, mean
applied patriotism. There should be
correlation of policy and armament
& * - America, which sprang to the
succor Of Cuba N 1898. has stood an
idle spectator of the invasion of Rel,
GUM, the sinking of the LuSitania. the
continued slaughter of our own citi
zcns, and of the reign of anarchy.
rapinc and murder in Mexico"
These arc the deliberate declarations
of the man with whom Candidate
Hughes has said, "a AM IN CON-
PLETE ACCORD" and Hughes has
publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said.
From their public statements the
conclusion is inevitable that if either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Pre>i-
dent when ~" \rMy "f I'll" Kaiser in
vaded l.cl%i"il w" would lave had
war With Germany; that w,lcn the Ia
sitania WAS sunk that VIC would have
had war with Germany. and that now
we would have instant war With Ger
many over the submarine raids in The
Atlantic Ocean off the Massachusetts
Coast.
Must We not agree with President
Wilson when speaking at Shadow
Lawn on Sept. so. last, he said:
Am l not right that We must draw
the conclusion that if the Republican,
party is put into power at the mex
election, our foreign policy will he IA
ically changed?
Il annot draw any other inference.
All our present foreign policy is wrong.
they say, and if it is wrong and they
are men Of conscience they must change
it.
and if they are going to change it.
in what direction are they going to
change? THERE is ONLY ONE
CHOICE AS AGAINST PEACE, AND
THAT is WAR"
No other conclusion can be drawn.
What is YOUR conclusion, thought
ful citizen:
In the last analysis, the election Will
be decided by the farmer vote. And 50
on the farmer is the responsibility OF
whether this country shall have peace
or war.
The only assurance that the country
will not be necdlessly plunged into war
is for YOU to vote for Woodrow vii.

HUGHES LEADS FOREIGN NATIONS
TO BELIEVE u s. WANTS WAR

At this present moment want 70 repeat this because perhaps
the country has lot realized it enough-at this present rnoment it is
almost impossible to do anything positive in the ted of foreign
affairs, because foreign nations have been led TO suppose that there
may be a change in our foreign affairs.
Foreign nations have been led to believe shat a dominant element
in the Republican Party is in favor of drawing the United States into
the European war; and they have been told, with abundant evidence,
that it is probable THAI, if the Republicans succeed, we shall enter
upon a policy of exploitation of u neiahbors in Mexico.
That is the whole moral of every criticism that read, and until
the people of tine United States have spoken it is extremely difficult
to cone to any definite conclusion about anything that touches u
relations, either to Europe c II to Mexico. rnyseF Go not doubt the
result, but there are some who affect to doubt i.-Fro3n President
Wilson's Speech at Shadow Lawn, n. j. Oct. II.

is unfriendly to the interests of bust
ness, ever though he works for the
petterment of the conditions Of labor.
Mr.. Underwood continues:
No n could fairly accuse Presi-
dent Wilson Of playing politics in the
railroad negotiations for an eight-hour
day. l believe he used his best judg-
ment in doing as he did. He did not
carry the burden of the railroads or the
claims of the bro~therhoods as his load;
he carried those of the people of the
United States.
Has Stabilized Business.
There can be no honest denial that
many OF the W:lso" laws have stabil-
lied business. The Federal Reserve
Act is one. The Rural Credit Act is
another. The passage of the Child
Labor Law was humane and intelli-
gent, The Tariff Commission was Il
common-sense, much-needed accom-
plishment."
And then Mi. Underwood praises NJ.
Wilson's course in keeping the nation
from embodiment in the European tur-
MOL, and from the waste of American
lives for 80 small a game" as Mexico.
