EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER

The public demands It and right reason
approves it.
TT is great responsibility senators
will assume who vote against the rati-
fication of this treaty"
Senator Walsh, Montana:
"The Presidents speech revealed in
outline and yet with sufficient distinct
ness some of the intricate difficulties of
the tremendous problems with which the
Peace Congress was called upon to deal
making compromise essential to any
result except chaos. 1t was an exposi
tion rather of why league is neces-
sary than a justification in detail of the
provision made in that regard, which
perhaps no one expected at this time. y
Senator Williams:
81 think that in breadth of vision, in
height of humanitarianism, in funda
mental world statcsmanship, and in deli l.
caCy of dovetailed English 1t is the
| greatest thing that he himself has ever
uttered, and when | say that. that
means the greatest thing ever uttered
| by any President of the United States
since Lincoln died. His words are 9
fitting close to his magnificent and un-
selfish and. upon the whole, effective
work at Paris as member of the Peace
! Conference.
! Senator Swanson:
The Presidents address was mag
niCcnt. able. eloquent and inspiring
| The reasons presented for the ratitica
ton of the treaty, including the league
of nations, were strong and cogent. o.
| course it was not expected, nor was
| it possible in an address of this kind
! to discuss in detail the treaty or thu
/ league. but the basic reasons presented
| for the ratification of the treaty ant
! the covenant"

address was. therefore, necessarily gen
oral. We shall hope TO receive from
the secretary of state the special rea
son which actuated the peace delegates
in formulating the articles of the long
and comprehensive treaty"
Senator New:
II have attended national Repub-
lican conventions for great many
year,. | have seen the galleries par
ticipate in twenty minute demonstra
tions of applause, while the delegates
sat calmly and unmoved on the floor
waiting until the applause had ex-
hausted itself. Then the delegates have
gone quietly about the business for
which they were selected. The Senate
will act in the same way regarding the
| treaty.
/ Senator Smoot:
at was another wilsonian essay, but
not up to the standard.
Senator Harding:
THE Presidents address was the
aIpca of the 'intcrnatiOnalists, it was
utterly lacking in ringing American
ism.
Senator Moses:

/ fashion that tho league of nations, So

Senator Borah:
| "As | listened TO the message ] felt
| that the entire argument made by the
! President to the effect that the league
of nations as league for peace, was
answered by the single paragraph that
| while he was absent he made Il deh-
| mite alliance for war.
Senator Frelinghuyseu:
THE President pleads for his league
Of nations plan as the most important
,part of the treaty. OF th'. treaty he
said very little. Undoubtedly he will
inform the committee on foreign rcla
tions cxplicitIy in regard to it. The
trcnty should be considered without de
/ lay. The league of nations can wait
until we have an opportunity to OK
amino into the responsibilities it places
upon the United States.
Senator Edge:
Now that tho President has spoken
| I hopS the Senate will get down to aC
tion. I believe, and ] always have be
lipvcd. that n ma j0rity of the senators
are entirely willing for the United StatcS
to enter a league of nations, bat will
insist on reservations IN the covenant
which will leave without question the
right and authority of the United States
to regulate its own domestic affairs. y

OPERETTA MAKES HIT.
Capacity Audience Sees High School
Pupils in Musical Comedy.


Pupils in Musical Comedy.
The Only Captain the musical
comedy presented by students of the
high school under the direction Of
Miss Helen NJ Jarvis and Miss
Margaret A. Gilmore, in the gym
nasium Thursday night before a
packed house. was mirthful travesty
on Puritan days, spiced with modern
expressions. The production was
given for the benefit Of the athletic
association and 500 was realized from
the sale of seats. Wholesome comedy.
excellent singing, clever dancing and
tuneful melodies provided entertain
ment for the audience and gave the
players opportunity to display their
talent in a musical production.
The story is very much that Of the
by proxy courtship Of Priscilla, the
fairest maiden of Plymouth, by John
Alden for his captain, Miles Standish.
The modernized story, however, ex-
poses the duplicity Of Captain Stand
ish, who has a correspondent in an
Indian squaw, who breaks up the wed
ding in dramatic style, and John
Alden comes into his own.
Ruth Roberts. as Priscilla. proved
herself to be an actress Of ability, pre-
senting the part Of the most sought
| maiden with captivating. grace and
! charm. Her singing was exceptional,
| both in solo work apd in duets with
John Alden. Robert Montieth, played
this part in good style He too dis
| played a good voice which blended
| very well with Prisc!lla's.
I'd a w, Il
ish. whose army was well drilled. so
he claimed, wanting only TO have
been able to have the great Caesar in
spect his troops. In a h!deous make
I'D there was never much hope of his
winning the fairest maiden.
| Chardy Blue was Elder Brewster
| for the evening, conducting himself in
pious manner. William Anderson, as
Erasmus. the captains right bower,
was first pilloried for being a hirt. and
later provided the most humor Of the
play by his responses to Miles in a
chatter scene while the two were
bound at the stake by the Indians
Jessie Rogers was Katonka. the
savior Of the pair FROM burning. Her
acting was effective and comicai.
A sextet OF Puritan maidens sang
and danced prettily, trio Of lads OF
the colony appeared in tuneful song
and dance number and six "gobs" sang
two songs A big chorus Of Puritan
men and ladies, Indians, and Standish's
| army showed careful drilling both in
| acting and in their vocal work
An orchestra Of eleven pieces made
Nup of members of the high scnooi fur-
| nished music for the operetta. Halsey
Smith was business manager Nelson
Whitehill. stage manager, and Frank
Roth, electrician. In the intermission
between the first and second acts Miss
Lois Rogers was presented with a
bouquet of roses for having sold
ninety tickets for the production
The students deserve highest praise
for the success OF the play and the di-
rectors are to be commended for their
