"The Merchant of Venice Uo to Data" was presented to a good audi euce on Saturday niaht at the Club building under the diroetion of Miss Lilah Claik and the Senior class of the High School, was indeed a treat to Heppner people. The play itself is a clever bu'leeque and it was han dled in a splendid mannnr, the prin cipal characters all being well sus tained. We are sorrv that a lack of space, and time as well prevents giving the play mention in detail, as it deserves. There were a number of the cliorncUrs presented that de serve special mention but will have to be passed with the remark that as a whole the students did themselves proud, and thus added laurels to those already gained. The cash re ceipts totaled nearly $100, and the class is very proud of the splendid patronage received, as well as the un stinted praise heaped upon thera in th is effort to present a first-class play to the people of our citv.

Much Done, Little Said. It is a safe proposition that any reasonably intelligent man who with out prejudice, will examiue the achievements of the Taft administra tion in the direction of procuring teasonable tariff revision will he compelled by the facts to give his cordial approval to the Taft policy. But how many havn followed the determined and successful enVrt of the president to secure a tariff bord and to procure from congress the fundi necessary to develop the fucts? Had not the impatient members of the community entrusted the con trol of the house to the Democrats, concrete result of President Tuft's achievements in this direction wculd already have been written on the statutes. With a Democratic house ani a Republican senate it may I e that .no tariff legislation will be enacted at this session but if there ii not, it will be solely because the Democrats are unwilling to father a revision in accordance with the find ings of the tariff hoard. And yet it is argued, and with reason, that even those who espouse the Democratic view that there should be a whdlesala slashing of the tariff will gain the end thpy wish more certainly and more expeditiously by the Taft method tnan that of Mr. Underwood and his colleagoes in the housa. for it is pointed out that were the Democrats in control of the three branches of government, and were ihev to pass such legislation as they have pot thiocgh the house, there would imvitably follow another reac tion, precisely like that which followed the enactment of the Wilson bill, and another Dingley bill would be the result. . If, on the contrary, the revision of the tariff is effected slowly and systematically, every step being supported bv a report of the tariff board showing the reasons therefor, such revision will not cause n reac tion, but will stanl until the tariff board shows that still further reduc tions shpuld be made. Will an administration stand stronger before the country if every achievements is thoroughly and force fully advtltised when it becomes a fact and that advertising is kept up from inauguration to election or do American people prefer tu do their own thinking, only to be reminled of the achievement of their public servants when a campaign is approach ing? This is one of the questions friends of President Taft's administration are seriously asking themselves. Those who have taken occasion n cently to examine the records of this administration are themselves sur pristd to discover how much has been accomplished and how little has been said about it. Of cour?e in the approaching cam paign, the record will figure largely in the Republican text-book and will he proclaimed from the political stump, but has not the Taft admin istration suffered because he has pro ceeded so quietly and blown Its own trumpet so little?
