Republican Party Need,
ed.

ed.
The chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, William
R. Wilcox, has issued a call for
Republican activity. He says:
"The Importance of the eco
nomic questions that will come up
for solution at the close of the
war, or even before. cannUt be
overstated. The history Of the
nation in the last sixty years
shows that the Democratic party
has never shown competence,
particularly in a crisis, in deal
ing with the great economic ques-
tions of the country. The i'm
portance, therefore, of the COM
ing congressional election cannot
be overestimated.'
Calling on all citizens to do
their utmost patriotic duty in ey-
cry way in carrying on the war
to victory, he adds: National
unity should be the watchworG
all along the line. This does not
mean that there should be any
slackening of the efforts of Re-
pubIicans to elect congressman
and senators in the fall elections.
The Republican Larty stands for
fealty to the government as no
organization ever did or cam
Mr.. Wilcox has we'll stated the
party program for 1918. The
Republican party is innately loyal.
It will never falter in patriotism,
neither..in small matters nor in
large. And it will be a service
of patriotism on the part of the
people to keep the Republican
party intact and powerful. AS
Mr.. Wilcox we'll points out, the
Democratic party has never
shown competency in a crisis. L,
and its leaders, are prone to fol-
low the line Of least resistance.
1t is engalfed by every wave
that sweeps against it. To the
Republican party must the coun-
try look for the barrier against
Socialism after the war. To tie
Republican party and it's efficien-
cy must it look after the war to
set the domestic house in order,
to eliminate the wastes, to estab-
lish protective tariff, to solve
the vast financial and tax diff
culties that will then await.
Preparedness should begin in
1918. The best interests of the
country, present and future, call
for a Republican House of Rep.
resentatives and a Republican
Senate.

An Army Of Stenogra-
piers.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.-
There is today in the city Of
Washington in active operation
an army whose exploits attract
little notice, but whose members
are doing a very large "bit" to-
ward winning the war for Amer
ica-an army Of stenographers
and typists, twelve thousand
strong, recruited from every
state in the union, A majority
of these soldiers of the notebook
| and typewriter are girls. Day in
and day out their nimble fingers
faithfully click out the tremend-
Gus volume of correspondence
and records required by great
nation at war. They wear no
badge or uniform; their work is
all work and has no thrill or ro-
nance; but the United States
could not stay in the war a month
without them.
The rapidly expanding depart-
ments of the government in
Washington employ stenograph-
ers and typists with a t1eed Tat
seems Unsuitable. The United
States Civil Service Commission
estimates that there will be tNtn
ty thousand government emp'o}-
9es of this class in Washington
at the end of this year, o. ing
to the general demand the Cor
mission is finding it a difficult
task to meet the calls of t. e de,
Gartments. Examinations are
held every Tuesday in 45O cities,
and the Commission states that
an examination will be held in
ary city at any tins, day or night,
when there is a prospect OF as
sembling class of three or four
competitors. Eligibility may be
obtained through passing an ex-
animation in practical tests in
shorthand and typewriting. It
is practicable to complete such
an examination in one hour. Re-
representatives. of the Civil Ser
vice Commission at the postofi-
ces in all cities are furnishing
definite information TO Persons
interested.

this a happy situation to be in.
Some people may think our lot
has been cast in pleasant places
by reason of these Untoward con-
ditions. But whether or not, we
will give neither assent nor dis
sent to it, but will ask the ques-
ton, What in a year from now
will be our situation? AS to the
first, we will have to say the end
will come in time in proportion to
the vigor with which the war
may be prosecuted with the en-
ployment of tie best means 1T
our command to break down and
conquer the. Kaiser. AS tol the
second, we have no dispensation
in it. A higher than earthly
POWER directs it. and we can on
ly abide results and suffer it to
be so. AS to the third, we think
we have a controlling influence,
and it only remains to be seen
whether we will improve our or
portunity 10 better the situation
or be Improvident. If We will
avoid the latter we will take time
by the foreIoCk and provide our
next winters fuel long before
our time of use or needs begin.
In the spring or early summer
see to it that our coal bins are
well filled with the needful for
next winters use, and if in this
way we are provident, when the
next winter arrives we will have
plenty of coal to provide us COM
fort in our homes. Let US MT
delay putting a roof on our dwell
ling until the rain comes, when
it cannot be done, and be COM
PEELED to suffer for our neglect.
1t is said water past a mill does
no grinding, so it will be wisdom
to use that water before it passes
the mill, and acting providently
for time to come we may avoid
the discontinue now upon us for
not providing timely for our
needs. Will we or not profit by
our disappointments?

UNIVERSITY LYCEUM
COURSE ANNOUNCED
Chicago Male Quartet, Berkeley Sex
tet, Little Play House Company,
and Flowers

The committee on the entertain
ment course for 1918 has secured
exceptional talent for the various
numbers. The first number is the
Chicago Male Quartet. This quartet
is composed of Messrs MacMullen,
Collins, Hedgcoxe and Smith. These
men are considered by many to be
the most popular entertainers who
have ever visited Morris. They have
appeared on the entertainment
course at least three times and have
always met with an enthusiastic re-
ception. When the committee had
an opportunity of securing these men,
it fastened to avail itself of that OPP
portunity and the members of the
committee feel that they are giving
the people of Morris a rare treat.
The Chicago Male Quartet has ten
distinct programs ready to give at
a moments notice. Each member of
the quartet is an artist and when
they work together, they produce an
effect that is rarely equalled by a
company of four male voices.
The second number of the course
is the Berkeley Sextet. This is a
musical organization that has dis
played exceptional talent in orches-
trail and vocal music. Those who
heard the Schubert Sextet last year,
may look forward to an entertain
ment of the most popular numbers of
last years course and the Berkeley
Sextet is said to be the full equal
if not the superior, of the Sextet
which was here a year ago.
The third number will be the
Little Play House Company, all mem
bers of which are highly trained in
the roles which they present.
The fourth number is Montaville
Flowers. Mr.. Flowers has appeared
on tho lecture platform in Morris
several times before and he is one
of few lecturers over whom the peo-
pie of Morris have been extremely
enthusiastic. He has an especial
message at this time, for he has re-
Gently come from the batlefields of
Europe.
The dates of these numbers are as
follows: Chicago Male Quartet, Oct.
81; Berkeley Sextet, Nov. &c; Little
Play House Company, Feb. IL. Mr..
Morris tribune., 1918-10-18

Flowers date has not yet been de-
termined, but he will be here before
the last Of March.
The Lyceum Course met with great
success last year and if 1t meets with
the same success this year, the COM
mittee is planning to put on fifth
number. 1t is not yet known what
tina number will be. The tickets will
be sold the same price that they were
last year-Adult tickets, 81 and stu
dent tickets, SO cents. ALI numbers
will be given in the Orpheum The
atre. Tickets to the separate num-
bers will be sold for so cents each.
Inasmuch as the theatre was entirely
sold out for each number last year,
it would be we'll for people to pur-
chase their tickets for this course at
the earliest opportunity, for the COM
mittee anticipates very rapid sale
of all tickets which they have to sell.
