The Chautauqa and the Glen How about this Chautauqua business anyway? Committees of tha Commercial club, the Y. M. B. C, the city officials and tha Chautauqua association went out to the Glen yesterday to look at the matter, on the spot. This ia an entirely different matter from the pavilion proposition. It is simply as to. whether the Chautauqua Is to be held any longer In the Glen. It seems very much aa If without the Glen there will ba no Chautauqua next year and so the matter of a choice between the Glen and some other place does not enter. Neither does the question of talent enter at this point, the thing Is simply a question as to whether enough damage of an irreparable nature Is done to the Glen to prevent Its use as a place to hold the Chautauqua. A careful examination of the grounds at the Glen will show that while some damage of a sort has been done that it is not really endangering the exlatence of the trees while the grass is. thanks to the rains and Ed Hollarn's work. In its accustomed green. Any damage that is done is likely to be of an unapparent and slow character. The only possible damage likely to befall the Glen is the packing of the earth and the trampling of roots the electric light wires can be taken care of in better fashion. But most of the damage seems to be of a superficial sort which to say the leaat would not be sufficient cause to remove the Chautauqua next year without a place for thia well patronized institution to go.

Chaves makes the twentieth man to

new science is taking heavy tolL

s nothing to do with next year's Chau-enter in and if it ever should we will hold to the position that unless a really suitable structure is built we are opposed to it. But that hasen (of the Judge Lindsey type) bring tauqua.

It seems to us that Mayor Zimmerman is right when he says that the city ought to have some representation on the board governing the Chautauqua for the Glen is public property. Whether the city has the legal right to enter Into the business of running Chautauquas or not, the city might well utilize the services of those who are experienced in this business. We should like to see the Chautauqua get down to brass tacks and hire all the very best men (of the Judge Lindsey . type) bring the best men in the Held, but this would not of itself come from having representation on the board by the city. The real gain would be in the extension of the police power of the city and above all that it would atop any feeling that the Chautauqua is run by one class of citizens, that Catholic and Protestant should be represented in their interests, and so on. ' Such a feeling should not be allowed to gain a foothold as long as this is on public property.

We believe that everyone can get together on this sort of a proposition and that next year's Chautauqua can be held in the Glen on a further working out of Mayor Zimmerman's Idea.

Who Do The Work

The Palladium wishes to call the attention of Its' readers to the pictures in this edition of the employes of this paper. It seems to the management that such a step will not be misunderstood by the public as any self advertisement on our part but that it will stand for what it is the giving of credit to those who do the work the sort of work that appears in this paper. Such a creditable performance is the outgrowth, not only of individual efficiency but the co-operation of each in a common task. And it makes for that personal note which must emanate from every successful newspaper the thing that makes the difference between so much inked paper and a newspaper with power in Its news, advertising and editorial columns. It drives home the fact that back of each printed word there stands not the work of one man nor two but the combined force of many each Intent on his share in the day's task. Without such a driving force no one of us could accomplish anything. It is this that has led to a high position among the newspapers of the state the recognition of the Palladium the community in all the varied activities of a newspaper. In carrying out the policy "A newspaper's first duty is to its own community," we can only say that this would have been Impossible except for the steadfast devotion and the efficient co-operation of all. It Is pleasant, and seems only fair, to give the missing link between the work that you are all familiar with and those who do it

Items Gathered In From Far and Near

Auto and the Grade Crossing.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Attention is called anew to the an

achronism of railroad crossings by the

frequency of accidents and especially by the number of automobillsts whose lives have been sacrificed in such mishaps. In their case the blame may safely be distributed Impartially be

tween the railroad and the automobile driver. The grade crossing is an admitted evil in part the heritage of hasty construction In the days when the railway was at its beginnings, and

In part the fruit of the American passion for getting results by the shortest possible route and the American

indifference to any considerations but

those of the present. The automo-

bilist Is equally open to the accusation of blindness to conditions which make lor the safety of himself and others! Granting all that can be said

against the perils of the grade crossing, it is a fixed tact, known to all men. The caution "stop, look and listen" has been repeated so often

that one would think t would be deeply Ingrained In the subconsciousness of every traveler upon the open road. When a speeding automobile, bound to no permanent way and confined by

no time table, comes in contact with

a speeding railroad train It is obvious that all the fault cannot be laid at the doors of those who are responsible

for the crossing at grade.

charities started the movement, and Immediately it was indorsed by the

Retail Druggists' Association of that city. There is no doubt that the sale of these narcotic medicines, for use among the babies, has carrie off many

precious infants. The law ought to come to their rescue. That seems to

be the only safety. It is for the de

fense of the poor and ignorant people,

whose hope lies in narcotics, that the

very first duty of a legislature lies

in this matter. There is no doubt

that the indiscriminate use of doped

The Folly of Being Timid. From the Boston Globe.

There would be very little business

transacted in this or any other coun

try if the views of pessimists were re

garded. When there have been de

pressed times and a nation is emerg

ing from them as is the case at present with the United 'States there will be found croakers loudly proclaiming that "capital is timid" and that prosperity is still afar off. Such croakers have done more Injury to trade than all the politicians who are shrieking on the hustings. There is not the slightest excuse for merchants to heed the croakers or politicians. After trade depressions there is always another era of prosperity. Such an era is due and near at hand in the United States. Any one engaged In any industry should bear this In mind and 6hun all who foolishly claim that "capital is timid." .
