The “third party” movement at Chicago seems to have died abornin’. The extreme radicals, who wanted to open the prisons and repeal our sedition and criminal laws and adopt the Russian soviet "form” of government, were in control and would not accede ,to the more reasonable demands of the diplomatic government wreckers. The result was a general disagreement of the various factions to affiliate and each will have a little playground and a red flag of its own.

In speaking of the Introduction of bills in Governor Goodrich’s second special session of the legislature within six months’ time, the Indianapolis News (Rep.) said: “There was no mistaking the fact that by far the uppermost worry in the minds of most of the members of the legislature was the bill intended to legalize the horizontal tax assessment increases, ordered by the state board of tax commissioners last August and invalidated by the supreme court last Wednesday. . W. H. Blodgett, in his legislature notes in the Indianapolis News, says of the swivel-chair Republican officeholders in the state house: "It is a noteworthy fact that more work is being done about the statehouse at this time than for many weeks. All the deputies, assistants, deputy deputies, and assistant assistants, with which that place is cluttered, are getting down to labor according to law. They don’t come sauntering along anywhere from 9 o’clock to 11, and they don’t take the entire afternoon oft for lunch. It makes a difference when the general assembly is in session.”

JULIAN B. ARNOLD

Though this noted author, philosopher and poet appears on the last day at the Chautauqua, It hut repeats the experience of the marriage git Cana, where the best wine was served at the lust. Julian B. Arnold has traveled over twenty countries and has known intimately many of the men and women who have made the history of tha world In the past few decades. As a son of Sir Edwin Arnold, who did so much to acquaint the world with the philosophies of India and the Orient, he inherited an unusually rich intellectual sspilpment. He brings to the platform an exceptional knowledge of many lands and their peoples; a peculiar understanding of their histories and ambitions, and a long-trained understanding of tin' complex threads which make up the tangle of International Interests. Mr. Arnold's delivery Is replete with gem phrases that fast•n themselves in the mind and remain is a prized possession. Afternoon and evening of this day. Miss June Elliott and the SlpherSehwartz Company prelude the lecture.

DR. JAMES HENRY M’LAREN

A rare treat is In store on the first day of the Chautauqua. Following the concert both afternoon and evening, there will be a most Interesting lecture by the above noted author and speaker. Doctor McLaren Is of Scottish ancestry, with, as has been said, “just enough Irish to make it interesting.” In the preparation of bls subject matter he spares neither labor nor expense in bls search for original sources both at home and In foreign lands. Doctor MelJiren has been characterized ns “The dramatic orator of California," by those most familiar with his platform performances. Hla lecture on "The Flags of the World" has taken Its place among the accepted successes of Chautauqua. Although thorough and authoritative, the doctor remains simple In his style, holding the'attentlon and interest of the children as well as the more matured. As an author he has gained a wide hearing and bls works In prose and poetry are found In the best libraries. Do not miss the first day.
