Saturday for the opening of
the Chautauqua. Everyone
was interested in the opening
Of a new era for the citizens of
Missouri Valley and enough
praise cannot be given to the
business men Of Missouri Valley
who have worked so earnestly
to promote better surroundings
and helpful entertainments.
The. day 5 programme opened
with a band concert on Erie
street. Our band, under the
dictatorship of Mr.. Will Orr, is
doing excellent work and
pleasing everyone. Their con-
tcarts through. the dav gave
much satisfaction. Governor
Folk Of Missouri was the speak
Ell of the day and was escorted
to the park by the Valley band.
| With him in the carriage were
Mayor James, Manager Mause,
land j. S. Dewell.
The Jubilee Singers gave a
short concert, after which Mr..
Dewell introduced the speaker.
o. the platform were E. w.
Pfatt, j. S. McGavren, A. H.
Saiff, Mayor James and j. S.
Dewell. Governor Folk gave
| the citizens of Missouri Valley
a clearer insight into clean gov
eminent and inspired many to
take a more active part in their
own government. Each indi-
vidual is a part of the sovereign
himself and must do his part
else the government will fail.
There is constant contact be-
tween good and evil workers,
therefore there must be con-
slant fighting. The law abid-
ing people are in the majority,
but they act occasionally and
with divided forces, while the
law breakers act constantly and
with united forces. Civic evils
can be overcome any time at
any place that the public so de-
sire. Aroused public conscience
will strike the death blow to
any con- bination of law break
ers. PIE said that there is too
little respect for the law and
that the executive officers are
not true to their oath. There
is need of men with ideas, with
a will, and one who will not lie.
It is not sufficient that one be
honest; he must be actively
honest, so that aggressive hon
esty will rule. An executive
officer should enforce every
law to the letter, thus avoiding
the loss of respect for the laws
and the deadening of good laws.
His reference to the boodlers
demonstrated the fact that the
government is unsafe in the
hands of the few who have
wealth enough to purchase
votes and those who have hands
to receive the brides. Good
citizens must take part in the
present government, men must
be enlightened, and America
must be for true Americans.
Governor Folk held an informal
reception after this address,
and then enjoyed a drive over
the hills of our pretty little
city.
The evening programme
proved to be very entertaining.
The concert by the band was
most enjoyable and should have
been more largely attend ed.
Do not miss the band concerts
every afternoon and evening of
the entire Chautauqua. The
Jubilee Singers are already
favorites. with all, and have
sung themselves into the hearts
of young and old alike. The
disappointment so evident when
Mr.. Mause announced that Mr..
Robertson would not be present
vanished when Mr.. Newins APP

the fact that when Tennyson lay upon

In 1867 Irving went to Edinburgh, and
remained there two years and half
and in that period he played 42S oharac-
ters, performed three times a night, and
received 30 shillings a week. but that
which probably differentiates Irving
from almost every other great actor is
the fact that although that wonderful
personality which has been the idol
of the public for so long is no longer
present, the work that he has wrought
endures. When Garrick died the spon-
taneous genius left the world. He was
remembered by the awe which he Great
ed in his tragic parts and the charm of
his comedy, but Garrick did nothing TO
transform the stage. to metamOrphose
