WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP PLAY A
GREAT SUCCESS

For three consecutive years a COM
pany of players under the auspices of
the Township High school have put
on play under the direction of Bess
H. Wilt of Dr. Kings School of Ora
tory.
In 1915 they put on the play en-
titled Muldoon's Rlunders", which
proved to be a great success at the
different places where it was staged.
In 1916 the company put on Uncle
Josh" which proved to be a better
play than the year before. 1t was
staged at three different places and
proved a SUCCESS at all of them
This year the company put on a
series of five short plays with two
mOnologues, three readings by Bess
II. Wilt and songs by the male quar-
tette. The play this year was the
greatest success of any play that has
been pat on during the three years
the company mas been organized. The
plays that were given were good from
the first one to the last There was
plenty OF wit and humor mixed in at
the righC time and place to keep ev-
erybody jolly and wish it had lasted
for two houIs longer
The evenings program closed with
the play Little Red School House,
which showed now school ought to
he kept, the scholars were the best
that could be gotten together, from
) Johnnie and Ikey the bad boys, to
tine good boy. The instructor
of the trio was a bald headed eX-
teacher of Washington township. He
instructed them the best he knew how
by asking questions and using the
stick to the enjoyment of everybody
present. The companyis very thank
full for the efficient work of the coach
in making these plays a success, and
feel that they can highly recommend
less H. Wilt as a coach who under
stands, and does her work thorough
ly.

Ohio Did Herself Proud

RANKED with the Eastern states of
high population, and now, especially
if Indiana joins it in making women
presidential voters, the power of wo-
men in dealing with the national par
ties becomes formidable.
The passage of the suffrage bill
puts Ohio in the forfront, and it is
hoped 1t will he kept there by defeat
ing an 1. and r. proposition that may
be brought out to overcome this
grand law. Ohio will not only be
prominent throughout the country in
standing by this law, but it will be
admired for its devotion to right and
liberty.

Defending Monopoly in MEXICO

If it is true that Secretary Of State
Lansing has protested against the
clause OF the Mexican Constitution,
prohibiting exemption of monopolies
from taxation, then he has taken an
indefensiDle position.
Mexico should be encouraged in
any effort made to curb the power of
monopolies The fact that under the
corrupt Diaz regime monopolies were
bestowed on foreigners with guaran-
tees Of exemption from taxation, does
not altar the case. Diaz gave away
property that did not belong to him to
persons who could not have been so
lacking in intelligence as to be un-
aware Of that fact The non-eXemp-
tion clause Of the new constitution is
designed to restore to the Mexican
people property that belongs to them.

free aud safe for the use of all peo-
ples, under rules set up by common
agreement ana consent, and that, as
far as practicable, they should be ac-
cessible to all upon equal terms;
THAT national armaments should
be limited to the necessities OF ma
tional order and domestic safety;
THAT the community OF interest
and of power upon which peace must
hencerorth depend imposes upon each
nation the duty of seeing to 1t that
all influences proceeding from its own
citizens meant TO encourage or assist
revolution in other States should be
sternly and effectually suppressed and
prevented.
Il need not argue these principles
to you, my fellow countrymen; they
are your own, part and parcel of your
own thinking and your own motive
in affairs. They spring up native
among us. Upon this as a platform
of purpose and of action we can stand
together.
"And it is imperative that we
should stand together. We are be-
ing forged into a new unity amidst
the fires that now blaze throughout
the world. In their ardent heat we
shall, in Gods providence, let us
hope, be purged of faction and divis-
ion, purified of the errant humors of
party and of private interest and shall
stand forth in the days to come with
new dignity of national pride and
spirit. Let each man see to it that
the dedication is in mis- own heart, the
high purpose Of the nation in his own
mind, ruler OF his own will and de-
sire.
Il stand here and have taken the
Figh and solemn oath to which you
have been audience because the peo
pie of the United States have chosen
me for this august delegation of pow
er and have by their gracious judg-
ment named me their leader in af
fairs. I know now what the task
means. l realize to the full the res
possibility which it involves. pray
God l may be given the wisdom and
the prudence to do my duty in the
true spirit of this great people. am
their servant and can succeed only |
as they sustain and guide me by their |
and their counsel. The |
thing I shall count upon, the thing |
without which neither counsel nor ac-
tion VIII avail is the unity of Amer
ica-.an America united in feeling, in |
purposes and in its vision of duty, of !
and of service. We are
to beware of all men who would turn |
tile tasks and the necessities of the |
nation to their own private profit or
use them for the building up of pri- |
vate power; beware that no faction |
or disloyai intrigue break the har-
mony or embarrass the spirit of our
people; beware that our government |
be kept pure and incOrrupt in all its
parts. United alike in the conception
Of our duty and in the high resolve to
perform it in the face of all men, let
us dedicate ourselves to the great
task to which we must now set for
our hand. For myself, 1 beg your
tolerance, your countenance and your
united aid. The shadows that now
lie dark upon our path will soon be
iispelled and we shall walk with the
light all about us if We be but true to
1urselves-to ourselves as we have
wished to be known in the counsels of

previous record month, when $12,
$4,000 in stock was issued. Fac
tors in this revival of ship construc-
tion, IL was pointed out, have been
the enormous volume of tonnage des-
troyed in submarine warfare, some
thing unknown in previous wars; an
inclination by many foreign shipping
interests to operate United States

has offered the greatest protection,

1t is not as Secretary Lansing is said
to claim, confiscatory measure. 1t
revokes many acts of confiscation that
took place without protest on the
part of the United States Government
during Diaz's administration. II is
restitution.
To declare, as the Mexican consti-
tuition does, that naural resources are
the property OF the people, and then
to leave monopolists in possession
taX-free, would be an absurd contra
diction.
1t is to be hoped that the Mexican
Government will pay no heed to such
an uncalled-for protest, but will rest
assured that the American people do
not approve of any effort to discour-
age it, in an honest effort to get rid
OF monopoly.

Although we have centered coun-

years ago, other matters have more

we had no control, but which, despite
our wishes to keep free of them, have
drawn us more and more irresitibly
into their own current and influence.

The electric street car service Of
Amsterdam is municipality owned and
managed. Its annual receipts are
nearly 100000, with a nrodt Of
about 10 per cent. No deficit has ever
occurred under the city management.
The lines of cars are numbered from
one to 10, and have a total of 40 miles
of track. The cars bear their re-
spective numbers and signs to show
the starting and terminal points and
important intermediate places. When
the routes are known, however, the
lines are always referred to by their
numbers. The trolley support is
formed of two arms, about two feet
apart from the base up to near the
:op, where the space widens to about
Tour feet, the width of the horizontal
:od which touches and travels along
the overhead wire. Thus there is

PERFECTION SLOW TO COME
Evolution Of Photography a. Matter o.
Many Years and the Work of
Many Minds.

Inc distinction OF making the flrSl
chemical step in the history of pho
Biography belongs to Italy, owing to the
discovery by a chemist Of the six
teenth century that nitrate chloride OF
silver is blackened on exposure to
light, while the foundation of pho.
tGsraphic optics was laid by Della
Porta in his invention about 1869 of
the camera obscura. i. e., the darken-
ing of nitrate Of silver by light.
Experiments in 1777 by Scheele, a
Swedish chemist, and by Ritter of
jena in 1901, in the action Of rays of
light upon horn silver, carried the
science a step further. But to Thorn
as WedgwOod of England belongs the
honor of having been the first to pro-
duce photographs by the action cf
light on q sensitive surface produced
by nitrate of silver, his researches
being much aided by the observations
Of Sir Humphrey Davy. These pho
tOgraphs We're made in 1902.
Twelve years later Nicephore Niepce
OF ChalOns-sur-SaOne was the first to
produce permanent pictures by the
means of solar radiation, his process,
described as photography, consisting in
coating piece Of plated silver or
glass with bitumen.
The daguerreotype, which did JUS
tice without mercy, was produced
about 1889 by Dagherre and Niepce.
For more than twenty years the
daguerreotype, facetiOus descriptions
Of which are found in the pages Of
Samuel Lever, Dickens, Thackeray
and Reade, held tyrannous sway, w.
81. Fox Talbot in the meantime vain
ly trying to secure recognition for his
calotype process, which, by the aid Of
paper STEPPED in nitrate of silver, pro-
duced the negative or invisible picture
now used in all photographs.
To Howe is credited the invention
Of the changing box, containing a doz-
en- or more plates with a special form
Of dark bath, which can be changed
with one plate at a time from the box
and then inserted in the camera for
exposure.
Changes in Photographic apparatus
with the introduction Of sensitive films
supported not on glass but on a fex-
ible material led many leading pho
tographers Of the late sixties and
early seventies to seek material
which, although possessing the trans
parency Of glass, would be less brittle.
To Morgan and Kidd Of Richmond.
the fashionable photographers of their
day, belongs the distinction of evolving
by means of gelatin emulsion the
bromide paper QOw used for enlarg-
ing.

modern dry plates have given birth to

tering magnesium into a lamp fame.
