The Daily Kununurra aims to picture the *Roman Empire* of the time, and for further energy printing the name by standing for the ideas of the Roman Empire; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems on our hands; all to serve in the best of its ability the support of our people.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4.1923
Now is the appropriate time for the announcement of a common grade extract; F. F. O. Gee!
A LEGISLATIVE SHOW
The sixty-eighth congress has opened technically but not actually.
Based upon two precedents, the House of Representatives has begun its work in the face of a radical bloe defying the two-party system and majority rule.
A few representatives nominally Republicans but in reality antagonistic to the Republican party have grasped the fortunate chance to force their demands upon the machine control of the conservative Republicans.
The progressive element is working for a change in the committee system in the House, and undoubtedly hope through this deadlock to accomplish their end. The Democrats will not help in the horse-play, and the insurgents are determined in their fight. If all stand firm a speaker cannot be elected by the necessary majority.
The American people know so little of the situation that they can form no judgment about it. Although it is their duty to understand and remedy the conflicts in legislation through elections, they fail to do so.
While the big show is going on in congress legislation is not.
INVESTMENTS
The humorists have made Forls run without engines and seats; the movies have made them run without wheels; and now the politicians are going to make a Ford run without a platform.
One million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars is the estimated total of the expenses entailed to date, in a suit for divorce first filed in 1919 by William E. D. Stokes against his wife.
Slightly more than that, $1,400,000 was collected and distributed by the European Student Relief of the World's Student Christian Federation in the period from August, 1920 to April 1, 1923. The number of students who have received help in some form or another is 105,000; the number of meals served is 22,234,354; clothing articles distributed 426,567; books circulated 70,315.
In either case these figures are almost too big to grasp and they convey but little idea of the actual value received either materially or spiritually by the parties most interested.
Think of the probable return to Mr. Stokes on his investment and to the people who were recipients of this great sum of money; think also of the effect such a divorce suit has on the moral standards of the country, and all in order that one man, tired of his wife, might be granted freedom.
As to the results of the second investment, in a vague way we can grasp what it must mean to the starving to be fed, the naked clothed, the sick healed, the homeless sheltered. But the bare figures of the European Student Relief give no conception of the influence of physical relief on the promotion of a more intelligent understanding of international affairs; of the knitting of a closer bond of fellowship among the students—future leaders of the world; of the spirit of brotherhood and co-operation actually

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS;
The loyal college student can truly serve his school by showing people at home how his education is benefitting him. By his thoughtless actions he can easily bring down condemnation upon himself or his school. He should strive to be a worthy example for the youngsters who perhaps unduly worship at his shrine; and above all show his parents that he appreciates being home and that their money is not being spent uselessly.
The regular meeting of Le Cercle Francais will be held Wednesday December 5th, in room 306 Fraser.
FRESHMEN LECTURE COURSE:
practiced, instead of hate and callous competition.
Americans pride themselves on being shrewd business men and women. From which sort of investment is there the greatest return in true value?
The next lecture in the Freshman Lecture Course will be given by Miss Wimson, of the department of English, in room 205 Fraser Hall, at 4:30pm or 7:30pm.
Students as a whole are not easily alarmed. Ask any big or baby Ben on a cold morning.
OUR LADIES FAIR
EMILY ERICSSON
Just as the knight of old fought more courageously in the lists when his lady fair looked on from the stands, so does the average fellow swell with pride when she dainty bits of femininity parade across the gridiron for the warriors who do battle there.
The Jay Janes made their first appearance at the Thanksgiving game. In a driving snow storm they courageously marched forth in their white uniforms, as a comparable sister organization to the Ku Ku chapter of Pi Epsilon Pi. They did their bit for the spirit of the occasion and did nibly.
In addition to these, there are the perverted few, who, perhaps because they themselves or their children did not take advantage of an education, are "agin'" education and stand ready to criticize a student in his every act. Each mark of newly acquired culture they interpret as "one of them new-founded college airs," or a "gol darn big piece of tomofoolery."
An Italian composer is suing an American publishing firm for jazzing his composition, "Madame Butterfly." It might be interesting to note what a great case the Italian peddler would have against the American people for jazzing his remark: "Yes we have no bananas."
The organization fills a long felt want in the current history of the University. The spectre of it has been hovering about us for some time only waiting to receive a breath of life. Now it lives; may it always live—even stimulating an atmosphere of clean, honest and noble play.
Thanksgiving vacation has passed and in less than three weeks K. U. folk will be going home for a visit with home folk.
CONSIDERATION OF HOME FOLK
The returned college student is of interest to a number of people in his home town. There are his doting relatives who are proud of him and have faith in his ability to make a success in the world. Then there are the youngsters who in their horoworshiping way somehow can't help encircling his head with a halo, perhaps for no other reason than that he is a college student. Every community has its lot of kindly bodies who are progressive and boost education. They're glad to see the returned student for they realize that at college he is preparing himself for useful service in later life.

At The Theater
Everybody liked "The Devil's Disciple" at the Bowersock last night. It was a good show. Not the usual light comedy, but an honest-to-good-lying comedy that goes through not entirely educated as to what to expect in an amateur theatricals other than comedy and light comedy. So the novelty and succeeded very well.

The breaks were against last night's show and the audience was on its toes, figuratively, to take advantage of them. But the players had one task, as the orchestra played "My Country 'Tis of Thee," the persons in the backyton promptly arose to their feet. Some in the parquet followed suit, and it seemed as though a general patriotic feeling had taken hold when the orchestra mercifully stopped.
Last year, the Dramatic Club attempted to produce "The Admirable Crichion" with fair success. This year they have taken a harder show, more scenery needed, more intricate costuming, and generally a much more difficult production, yet the show far out-shines last year's play.
The story concerns a certain Richard Dudgeon, who believes himself to be the disciple of the devil, but when the hour of trial comes he finds himself in danger of being drained for a worthy cause. He is in constant conflict with all members of his family and the town, until the last when he is shown up in his true light. All the ingredients of the perfect drama are incorporated in the play.
Acting laurels in this show must go to two actors, Cecil Duncan as the half-witted Christy and Brewster Morgan as the suave, ironical General Burgynge. These two gave the best. The rest were on stage, seen on the stage at the Bowersock,
Dorothy Blackmar as Mrs. Dudgeon gave an excellent interpretation of one of the hardest and most disagreeable parts in the play. She was consistent and seemed to feel her part. Helen Hickok as Essie was very good in a difficult part, but her scream at the end of the second act
But this does not mean that the others were not excellent for it is really hard to pick the next best out of the remaining. It was hard to get the best dramatic acting of the year, that of Laura Ballou was spoiled by an unappreciative or uncomprehending audience. She wrote a press conference on the Hill at the present time.
Albert Kerr as the Devil's Diceie gave the best acting of his career last night. He was at ease, master of all his scenes, and his voice-work was a welcome relief from the strained voice he has had to use in old his men's parts. His interpretation of Richard was very good and he was interesting and entertaining. His role as a hoisterous would have helped.
Stanley Pennell as Anhony Anderson was very good in practically every situation, but the second act, there was hardly enough action to suit his supposed excitement, but he managed to build up to an excellent exit, good and effec-
Charles Millholland as Lawyer Hawkins was a quiet and dignified master of ceremonies during the reading of the will in the first act. Clarence Grubbs as Uncle Titus did very good work. He was interested that transcribed on the stage and gave his part definite characterization.
John Alden as Major Swindon gave a good performance in the face of almost insurmountable odds. He tried his best to make the audience laugh, and he seemed to be his character as the major. He was highly successful.
The scenery, entirely designed and built by the dramatic club, was a relief from the "fancy door center" sets. Great credit is due to Professor Crafton for his excellent coaching skills to the smallest details of the production. His first production is a decided success.
