Chautauqua Standards

THE SPENDER. ' Indianapolis. Arthur Long of Pittsburg stood in the Hotel English bar drying his face with a fifty dollar bill. lie threw the bill to the floor and then produced from n bundle under his arm a handful of fives and fifties. Throwing them on the bar, he said. "Bartender, give me a drink, quick, or I will buy this hotel and have you flred." . What a picture in a few lines! " Visualize it. The spender, leaning on the bar of the high toned saloon, the subservient tender, whose eyes glUten at the sight of the currency; the crowd some ngape, some applauding and all more or less athirst these are the' settings of the stage as the brief curtain goes down on the .drama of ('A Fool and Ills Money." : 'Well," you say The'tnoney belonged to the man. If be chose to 'blow it,' whose bus!- ' aess but his own?" v But was tbe money bis? Legally, yes. Some mysterious dispensation of , providence gave over Into bis temporary keeping more money than he needed or could use to advantage and allowed him, for some wise purpose of Its own, to show how easily a fool and his money are parted. But In rightful view Long did not own that bundle of bills! That money was part of tbe accumulated assets of a world of labor. It cost somebody's sweat and ncbe and blood. It represented deprivation and slow savings and short dinners. Ethically a man has no right to that which he cannot properly use. Long was squandering what was not his. And did you note where tbe money came from? Pittsburg Pittsburg where naked bodies tell in front of the fires of molten hells, where men sell their shortened lives behind iron , closed doors, where half the slaves toll to feed the leaping flames, while the other half groan in sweaty sleep. It was in Pittsburg this man got his bills. Think of the hungry children that bundle of fives and fifties would feed, of the cheer it would bring, of the homes It would furnish! And the man behind the bills? Him? Why, the bills he flung away will, soon or late, come into decent bands and fill their purpose In the world, some Ave, some fifty fold. But s for him Hlmt

7 his Js My 77th Birthday

Unless the Palladium has been misinformed there is some little discussion as to tbe character of tbe entertainments at tbe Chautauqua. Most people agree that this to the best year of tbe Chautauqua and that it has been Increasingly better. Tbe list of entertainers and platform talent at the Chautauqua this year is of a standard that any well educated and intelligent man might be glad to patronize and it has been patronized.

The controversy if it can be called such is as to whether the standard of the Chautauqua shall be "lowered to the people." It is our opinion that the standard set is the right standard for the people of Richmond because it is the best.

As to the balance between what is called entertainment and what is called educational work we can scarcely believe that this enters into tbe standard at all. Dickens' novels, which supplied e ntertainment are of as high a standard as Darwin, who is scientific. If this proposition is grasped in the literary world of reading the solution of the Chautauqua business should not be hard. Diversification and not a lowering of standards is what is needed. Some Japanese magicians and the like are quite as high a standard as the weightiest and accomplished orator in their separate lines. Pick up any magazine of large circulation and the many things touched upon from gay to sadness and from light to heavy are all of the same standard. If that idea is maintained in the future as has seemed to be the aim of the present Chautauqua management we are pretty sure that the Chautauqua will be a real success in the future as it has in the past. Balance not lowering of standards is the right idea.

DOCTOR'S WIFE CAN NOT WHIP COUNTESS

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Countess Marguerite Van Scheben is now perfectly safe from the horsewhip of Mrs. Frederick E. Wadhems, wife of a fashionable physician who is declared to have administered -a whipping to the countess in her husband's office. An injunction against Mrs. Wadhems was obtained by the countess and in effect it restrains the latter from interfering in any way with her husband's medical clients.

SUMNER I. KIMBALL.

Sumner I. Kimball, who has been

superintendent of the United States life-saving service ever since it was created, two score years ago, was born in Lebanon. Me., September 2, 1S34. and received his education at Bowdoin college. ; He studied law and was admitted to the bar In 1858. The following year he was elected to the Maine legislature. . In 1862 he went to Washington and became a clerk in the Treasury Department. In 1871 con ares passel an act authorizing tbe secretary of the treasury to establish stations on the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey, and to employ crews of trained surfmen. This was the beginning of the life-saving service, of which ' Mr. Kimball was made chief officer and superintendent. Under his direction the service has been extended to all the ocean and lake coasts of the United States.

Victim of Their Fear. "Ono thing that makes me positively sick," remarked a young matron vehemently to her husband, "is to have guests sit all through a meal and merely toy with the food as Mrs. So-and-so did last night. And she is tbe third dinner guest we have bad lately who did the same thing. They are afraid of getting stout, and, although they accept invitations to meals, they never eat anything that Isn't on their regular diet lists, and tbe consequence is that tbe hostess sits up and sees portion after portion of her well prepared food going to waste. It almost spoils the .evening for me, and I shan't ask any one of the three here again unless, by chance, they happen to get so thin they won't mind eating a square meal." New York Press.

Much Interested. "I hope you will be interested in yonder gentleman." said tbe hostess "I have assigned him to take you out to dinner." "I shall be." responded the lady addressed. "That gentleman was formerly my husband, and he's behind with bis alimony." Louisville CourierJournal. " Keeping Company. "They kept company for a long time before they were married." "Yes. and they've kept it most of the time since. Her relatives seem bound to live on them."

UNCLE SAM IS NOW AFTER LUMBER TRUST

(National News Association) DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 2. That the suit against the Michigan Retail Lumber dealers association from continuing an alleged unlawful conspiracy to restrain trade in many states is only a beginning of the fight against the lumber dealers, was declared here today. The charges that the association has agreed to fine any competitor in the manufacturing, jobbing or shipping and of the business and blacklist any who refuse to be ined.

The worst use that can be . made of success is to boast of It.

THE TENANTS TOAST. It Carried Off the Prize at Lord Pan mure's Dinner. The following story gives a good idea of the drluking style In England early in the last century. This was what the men of that day took for humor: Two young English noblemen were paying a visit to Lord Panmure at Brechin castle. One day be wrote a letter to Panlathie, a tenant of bis, to come and dine with bim, and at the same time he ordered him to bring a sum of money. Panlathie was aware ; when he received the order that something was to be done and went prepared. After dinner Lord Panmure gave the first toast, which was, "All bats In the fire or 20 on the table." Four hats were Immediately in the fire. , One of the English noblemen' gave the next toast.' "All coats In tbe fire or 50 on tbe table." Four coats were committed to tbe flames. Tbe other English nobleman gave the next toast, "All boots in tbe fire or 100 pounds on tbe table." Tbe whole of the boots were committed to the flames. Panlathie's toast came next, which was, "Two fore teeth in the fire or 200 on the table." and Panlatbie pulled his teeth out and threw them into tbe flre. The English noblemen looked amazed. They didn't know he had false teeth, and Panlathie went home without hat, coat or boots, but with 600 In his pocket. Lord Panmure thought much' of his tenant after that. Exchange.

Canadian Campaign Springfield Republican

With less than a month remaining before the elections in Canada the polling Is fixed for Sept. 21 the result is more than ever shrouded in uncertainty. But, while no forecast can be offered, it must be confessed that the defeat of the Laurier government and of reciprocity is not so improbable as it seemed when the Ottawa parliament was dissolved. The blow would be felt by Premier Laurier himself, inasmuch as the failure of the trade agreement with Canada would rob him of what has seemed to be the main achievement of bis administration. This fact may be referred to in this connection as a reminder of the political consequences in the United States that would come from the overthrow of tbe Canadian liberals, although there is no basis for a hopeless view of the outlook. The circumstances which seem to link the political fortunes of the American president and the Canadian premier in this crisis serve at least to increase public interest in the Canadian situation. Reciprocity, it is perfectly clear, was made an issue in Canada ten years later than It should have been, if its easy triumph in that country was to be assured. Had a trade agreement been negotiated immediately after President McKlnley's celebrated speech at the Buffalo exposition, in 1901, when he impressively warned his countrymen that the time ha'd already come for a change in our fiscal policy, the opposition in the dominion would have been negligible. The old reciprocity sentiment, which Sir John Macdonald, the leader of the conservative party, had encouraged quite as much as had the liberal leaders, was still very powerful, and Canadian manufacturers had not them the influence they have now. The new western development of tbe country had hardly begun and there was less hope than there is today among the people of the eastern provinces that Canada could grow into a strong, populous nation without the trade advantages to which her continental position nat

urally entitled hed. How the Canadian government was rebuffed when it made advances, because of the stupid arrogance of the high protectionists who controlled our government and congress, may be recalled not wfth-

out some bitterness by those who be-

ieve in closer trade relations with

our Canadian neighbor.

Now that the struggle in Canada is

finally precipitated, after a decade of fatuous delay by the American government, it is easy to see the difficul

ties which the 10 years have raised

upon the other side of the boundary. The vested interests in manufactur

ing, .railroading and banking, which

dread the American competition as

sumed to accompany more intimate

commercial relations have grown

much stronger; and the increased popular pride in the developing Canadian

nationality ; renders the people more

susceptible to alarms over the annexation specter which fanatical British imperialists and the opposition of all sorts seek to conjure up at this particular time. But of equal is 'not

greater consequence must be rated

the long tenure of the Laurier govern

ment.

A decade ago the premier was still

In the early flush of his popularity;

Quebec was absolutely iaolid in support of the first French Catholic . prime minister; in other provinces he had not had time to make the enemies and

inspire the antagonisms which long

continuance in office invariably brings

to the surface. Today, having ruled Canada for 15 years without a break.

Sir Wilfrid confronts an opposition

that embraces not only the traditional

opponents of his party but elements

formerly prointed to himself which

have one purpose in common to turn out Laurier. In Quebec, Bourassa; in

Manitoba, Slfton. These two insurg

ent leaders, one of the east and the

other of the west, long since turned against the premier on diverse issues, but now they are prominent figures in

the campaign whose object is Laurier's overthrow.

Thrown into a grand political melee,

the danger to reciprocity in the pres

ent campaign is that it will not be considered fairly on its merits. The result; will certainly not be determined

by the trade issues alone; a dozen oth

er issues and interests will influence

the verdict. It must be a great surprise to many Americans that their

country is being accused by the oppo

sition in Canada of having-a deep set purpose to absorb and annex the whole

of British North America. In Ontario,

the opposition speakers, led by Mr.

Borden, thunder the slogans of loyalty

to the British empire, their assumption being that somewhat easier trading in steers, horses, sheep, timber and vegetables is menace not only to the imperial tie but to Canadian nationality itself. Even Mr. Sifton, who was a follower of the premier until

1905, denounces lower duties, or free trade in certain products, as the beginning of a "semi-political union." A tory glee club at a meeting in the city

of Hamilton, one night last week, elated an audience with a song whose re

frain was: "Would you make the silken British flag a dirty spangled cotton rag?" The politics of the campaign evidently has no limits in the appeal to prejudice.

WERE 81ARRESTS Drunks Top List Other Reports Filed.

The drunks, as usual, head the list of the police arrests for the month of August, There were 35 arrested on this charge, 10 for assault and battery, begging 4; provoke, 3; petit larceny and safe keeping. 2 each; violating city ordinance, obstructing public highway, profanity, bastardy, house breaking, disorierly conduct, and horse stealing 1 each; and suspicion 18. This makes a total of SI arrests.

Recorder's Report. The report for the quarter just ended in the recorder's office has just been filed. Will J. Robbins, recorder for Wayne County, states in his report that during the quarter just closed, 899 documents of various sorts were filed in his office, the fees for these amounting to $7!5.75. The largest single item of this amount were the deeds. Three hundred and thirty-two of the last named were filed at a cost of $333.20. 30 Marriage Licenses. Cupid's activities during August in this county numerically is reported to have been thirty wedding licenses, issued by county clerk George R. Matthews. The divorce statistics for the month show ten cases were filed.

freight cars had rlready been running along Main street for some time, not one of the protestors had noticed that the cars had made any additional noise or had spoiled the beauty of the town. Only a few are still holding out against the agreement and it is not expected that these are enough in number or power to hinder the work of ratification.' Ninety per cent of the people who wanted the cars run through the Glen originally, have apparently changed their views now, Mr, Ross says, and are ready to sign a petition, if necessary, to get the tracks out of the public playground.

That Ontario may yield somewhat to the anti-American appeal and return a large tory delegation to the house of commons would not be in the least surprising. For, in some respects, Ontario is more British than Piccadilly. As a province it has never been carried by Sir Wilfred Laurier. If, now, the premier should lose 10 or 12 seats in Quebec also, on account of the Bourassa movement, which makes a specialty of opposition to the Canadian navy and to British imperialism and receives considerable support probably from ultramontane circles in the Roman Catholic church, his ' defeat would be practically certain. The position of Quebec is a critical factor of the situation. If the province accepts Sir Wilfrid's valuation of Bourassa and gives him an old-time indorsement the liberal government's retention of power will probably be assured. Reciprocity itself is understood to be popular among the thrifty French farmers of Quebec and this fact is favorable to the premier's prospects. : It is doubtless true that Sir Wilfrid's chances of success are greater than they would have been without the reciprocity issue. The trade agreement gave him something new, definite and attractive upon which to base an appeal to the, people. It helps him to get away from administrative scandals and to conduct an offensive rather, than a purely defensive campaign. But it is not so clear that reciprocity chances are improved by identification with an administration that has been in office 15 years and which, in the nature of things political, would be doomed to extinction at about this time were ordinary influences to have their full effect. If Sir Wilfrid wins, reciprocity will have saved him. It hardly could be said that he had saved reciprocity. Success, consequently, will mean that in spite of the. rapid development, of hostile influences in the past decade, the idea of close trade relations with the United States had not been extinguished, nor its advantages lost , sight of, in the Canadian mind.

SENTIMENT CHANGED

Regarding Tracks in Glen, Ross States.

That the eity council will render a popular decision if it ratifies the agreement between the board of works and the traction company for removing tracks from Glen Miller Park, is the opinion expressed today by Paul Ross. Most of the property owners who opposed the proposition at first are now in favor of the action, and the number of persons in the ranks of those opposed to it, is diminishing

right along, be believes. The fact was brought out today that although the
