MY daughter Pearl studied hard at her

worse. Finally we had TO take her out of

her thought she was going into consump-

PLEASED WITH SITUATION
England COnsratuIates Itself on
Financial status After Strain
of Costly War.

LONDON, June 6.-Prior to the second
reading of the loan bill in the House Of
Lords today Lord Goschen, liberal, and a
former chancellor Of the exchequer, an
nounced that he desired to say a few words
on the financial position of the country.
Consols, which were now paying only Pa
per cent, stood at 81. Before the CONVEX
sion OF 1883, 8 per cent consols stood at
1O1. II they had been converted then, they
would have been worth ONLY 50, so that now
the stock was really fifteen points higher.
After a costly war and the borrowing Of
$50, 900, 900, the country might we'll con-
graduate itself on a situation which showed
such economic statements.
The premier, Lord Salisbury, said such
words, coming from such a high authority,
were very gratifying and would be widely
read.

lis the case is readily conceded,
but in the case of the Chautauqua
it seems like an entirely different
proposition. The Chautauqua is
not a money making concern, or
ganized for revenue purposes. 1t
is more of a public enterprise, in
tended to serve as a pleasure re-
sort for the people of the entire
state. The management of the
association has worked with I'M
firing effort to make it a success
and with that end in view much
individual money has been adj
vanced by the citizens of Devils
Lake, for which they must be re-
paid. Like all institutions of the
kind, it takes money to run it,
consequently some charges must
be made to the general public for
the entertainment afforded. It
may be added however, that in the
case of the newspaper men the
Chautauqua association should be
as liberal IS possible in the matter
of contests on the grounds. The
editors are always willing to help
along any public enterprise, and
especially the Chautauqua asso-
citation, and both should work
hand in hand when the time comes
that the association is on q paying
basis there they should give the
newspaper a reasonable recon-
pense for their advertising space.
But in the mean time everyone
should boost for the Chautauqua.
