In 1888 he married Margaret Owen
of Chiccieth. Wales, and launched
his political career by becoming
secretary of the South Carnarvon-
shire Anti-Tithe league. He was
elected to parliament in 1890 as a
radical, defeating d conservative
opponent by IS votes. Since then
his reputation as a champion of
Welsh nationalism, Welsh pon-con-
formity and liberalism has become
thoroughly established in the coun-
try and in parliament.
His advancement has been steady.
He was president of the board of
trade from 1906 TO 1908. chancellor
of the exchequer from 1908 to 1915.
minister of munitions from 1856,
secretary of state for war in 1916,
first lord of the treasury and prime
minister from 1916 TO 1922.
Although the conservatives now
| have pledged themselves TO safe
guarding" Lloyd George still is a
free trader. He calls protectionist
program "unutterable folly" and
says. You cannot have protection
without taxing food and l am abso-
lutely certain the people of this
country will net consent to food
taxes"
There seems only one point on
which Lloyd George agrees with
Stanley Baldwin, the conservative
party leader and prime minister. and
that is his high regard for Abraham
Lincoln. Mr.. Baldwin once said
that the American civil war presi-
dent was "one Of the greatest men
produced by our race LLOYD
George long has been a student Of
the martyred presidents life and is
regarded as one of the few authori-
ties IN England on Abraham Lincoln.

Students Conduct Glass

Confident in the ability Of the
students of his public speaking
class to conduct their recitations
without the supervision Of teach
er, Mr.. Robertson left the class to
its own management upon his leav-
ing for Spokane on business, last
week. The students relished this
chance for self-government and ex-
ecuted the assignments in a very
business-like fashion. For some
time this class has been conducted
in parliamentary order, the Of
ficers being elected every two
weeks. In this way each student
will have had an opportunity to
function as an officer, and to put
in practice the knowledge of par
liamentary law gained by holding
the class in this manner. Massa
Mukai proved a very efficient
chairman during the past two
weeks.
A very successful dance was

given the night after graduation.
On the evening Of May 90, the
seniors will take this last oppor-
tunity to entertain their many
friends, as high school students.
As disclosed at meeting of the
senior class the committees have
been hard at work: Massa Mukai
reports that the Bay View Pavil-
ion" is to be the scene of the rev.
elry. Jean Stone, who has charge
of the background for this scene
will not disclose her decorative
scheme, but it is sure to be good.
According to Arvid Nystedt and
Lille Roeu we are to trip the
light fantastic to the tunes of
Howard IS orchestra from Sc
attic. Light refreshments will be
served throughout the evening by
Phoebe Shattuck and her assist
ants. As the dance is to be in
vitational, alumni tickets should
be obtained from Merritt Corbin,
who heads the ticket committee.
Mr.. Robertson left the Isle oil
yashon Tuesday, April 8, to attend
a school meeting which was held
at the Davenport hotel in Spokane
and arrived back home Monday,

ers' employment agency. Twenty

more or less prominent in the local
tournaments about Washington during
the last two years. First comes Mark
Flanagan of North Fork. N. Y, who

in the local tournaments in which he
has entered. Other members of the
team are Richard Wilson. native of
Southern Pines, N. c.. and F. j. (Chick)

dian Spring tourney last year, losing
in the final to Page Hufty of Congress

established himself as one Of the finest
by the quality of his golf and his de-
