Probably the greatest single feature
at Chautauqna, N. Y, this year will be
the appearance on the platform of Secro-
tary OF War, William ii. TAFT, on August
IL. Secretary Taft has made very few adj
dresses in public in comparison with the
number ofinvitations which haye been
issued to him, and his appearance al
Chautauqua, is on this account, especially
significant. As is natural, the subject o
his address will be "Our Duty to the
Philippines" topic upon which he
more than any other man, is fitted tC
speak. Chautauqua has been fortunate
in securing his appearance at this time
and the audience which faces him should
tax the great amphtheatre to its limit.
