HIGH SCHOOL PLAY

Rehearsals fort"A Scrap Of Paper
to be given by high..school students
| are progressing satisfactory and the
production . is almost ready ito be
staged. When those who are taking
part appear behind the. foot lights
/, lhursi.:, evening it will ho :.:ter
levotinc weeks Of practic, aa'l work
and time for the purpose of pre-
sentin" not only creditable but also
an entertaining performance before
their parents, friends and townsmen
From all indications, these efforts
will meet with the desired success.
Of course, it is an amateur affair
and there are those who are preJu-
diced against amateur theatricals.
But it is hoped, that on this occasion
they will be willing to lay aside their
prajudices and judge the show on its
merits as a high school play. Fortu-
nately, there are also those who are
preiudiced in favor of amateurs, es-
pccially when they know the per-
formers, and these are the ones who
are expected to be out in full force,
and encourage the young players.
A pleasant evening is promised not
only by the show itself, but also by
the music between the acts which
will be feature of the evening. A
ukulclc chorus has recently been
formed among. the GIRLS Of the high
school and they will render pro-
gram between the acts. This chorus
has already. appeared before an
Alexandria audience and met with a
favorable reception, and it is safe to
assert that the extra practice they
have had since that time, will as
sure them still more favorable
reception on this occasion.
All things considered. you cannot
fail to enjoy yourself, if You attend
this performance. which will be pre-
scnted three nights this week. At
the same time. you will be backing
up the bows and girls Of your town
and assuring them, by your pres
cnce Of your interest in their under
takingS. You can attend the show
on either Thursday, Friday or satur-
day evening Of this week at SIS at
the i@h school.

New York. Nov. s. William G. Nc

uly, in statement last night ccm'
mcnt:ng on the result of the national
election, declared what the country
needs is subsTdence Of the passions
and hatreds engendered by the war
and the partisan political appeals
that have followed"
1T is of no value to try to explain
the causes OF the Democratic defeat"
the statement said. "The oveuwhelm-
inc Republican victory has given that
party the Presidency and bcit'h'Hc
of the Congress. After March 4 next,
it will have entire responsibility for
the policies and administration of
the Government, and cannot evade or
excuse its failure to perform the pro
misses it has made to the country.
"Under our political syshem it is
always better to have one party con-
troll at Washington thar to have di-
vided authority.
what the country imperatively
needs now is subsistence Of the pas
sions and hatreds engendered by the
war and the partisan POLITICAL ap-
peals that have followed. The coun-
try is sick of political slanders and
controversies. It wants domestic as
well as international peace and 1t
wants restoration of that fine spirit
of cooperation which made America
in war. - ~
"We face domestic and internation-
al problems CT great gravity. The
only way to solve them is through CO.
operation. The highest duty Of the
leaders cf both parties is therefore
to promote better feeling among ali
classes of our people, to refrain from
unworthy appeals to class and racial
prejudice and to bring to bear upon
our serious problems that dispas<ion-
ate and intelligent consideration
through which alone there is premise
of genuine public service.
"The Democratic party has suffer

verses have been followed by eXtraor-

of democracy itself and, above ali. for
