Seniors Prove
To Be ToIented
As Actors

The annual presentation of the
Senior Glass play is an event eager
ly anticipated by the student body
and the public each year Can the
seniors match the high standard of
previous plays put on by former
graduating classes? The Class of
1914 answered this query last Fri
day night with the staging of a
lively comedy well named, Lady
Spitfire." Bert Skakoon, Senior
Glass advisor and director of the
play, succeeded in fitting his cast
into the characters they were to
play so that the unfolding of the
plot seemed to be the natural actions
of the persons who took part.
The Scene was laid in a school for
girls where Helen Austin assumed
the role of governess in a very con-
vincing manner. Girls of the school
were Florence Miller, who pleasant

Let Fighters Vote

THERE has been an enthusiastic
l. and gratifying national response
to the proposition, strongly advo-
Gated by the Hearst newspapers, that
man old enough to fight is old
enough to VOTE.
Measures have been introduced,
or are being prepared for introduc-
ton, in the legislatures of many
states lowering the legal voting age
to l8- which has been established by
Congress as the age of compulsory
induction into the armed forces.
This should be done in all states,
and should be done promptly.
All of the states should be willing
and proud to extend the right Of
franchise to fighting men regard
less of age, and all of them are surely
OBLIGATED to do so.
The physical and mental matu.
rity of 18-year- old American citizens
has been ASSUMED by their gov.
eminent, for the purpose and as a
condition of having them bear arms
in the defense of the country.
Why should their maturity be
questioned for the purpose and as a

to vote and voice in determining
the policies of their country and in
selecting officials TO RUN the
country?

Remember that the American Legion is made
up exclusively of those WHO HAVE SERVED in

THE other night in meeting called in Los

very eloquent speech was made by prominent
Judge, Thomas F. White.
He kept using the words "indiuidual rights;
and referring to them as something PRECIOUS
and something unknown until the United States
was based upon them.
