Last week we had an item in
which we referred to the Lyceum
Bureau attractions as as graft.
Some of the gentelmen connected
with the same interviewed US in re-
gard to it and we thought we had
better make our opinion palmer.
1t is however the same as it was last
week. We have no fault 10 fnd
with these gentlemen who are guar
anteeing,the bureau $3.50 or $500
and personally do not want to see
them or any one lose money In any
manner. But the Lyceum Bureau
itself is graft; for the reason that
their entertainments are not worth
what they charge for them. 1t is
true, generally one or two of them
are worth the price of admission,
but when they come to throwing in
about three lectures by fellows who
part their names in the middle in a
vain endeayor to make reputation
| by posing their forms before the
Meade audience we say they are i'm
posing on the people. Again all re
liable companies when they come
into a town on their route are willing
: to paly on what is known as the pc
cent plan and not ask any guaran
