REGRETABLE ACTION

It is a regretable fact that the
Midland Lyceum Bureau of Du-
buque, Iowa, set the Chautauqua
association before its patrons in
a very poor light, by their recent
action as regards the speaking
of Governor Cummins last Sat-
urday. When the association
corresponded with the Lyceum
regarding the securing of that
speaker on that day, arrange
ments were made whereby he
should appear for his lecture at
$3.50 o'clock, and arrangements
and advertisements made by the
association to that effect. Five
days precedent to the opening of
the session Mr.. Davis received a
telegram from the association
arbitrarily demanding that the
time for the governors speech
be changed to enable him to
catch the $3.50 train, as they had
made arrangements for him to
| speak at two places that day. As
they had widely advertised Cum
Minis lecture, the association
could do no other than comply
with the demands. TIE result was
that many going out from the
city at 3 o'clock to hear the ex-
. ecutive's speech arrived to hear
! his closing words, and many
more who were on the grounds
not knowing of the change OF
program, missed the address en-.
tirely.
| The action on the part of the
management of the Midland Ly,
ceum bureau is to be greatly con
demned.

Appeal to the President.
I'VE have always watched with pro-
found satisfaction the growing
strength Of the bonds of traditional
friendship between America and ia
pan, coupled with the steady progress
OF the commerce between the two ma

Japanese residents there, whose per-
sons and property have thus been ex-
posed to serious danger. While highly

FEAR BAD EFFECT ON TRADE

of seven chambers of commerce here
it was resolved TO address the prin.

1T has always been a matter Of
profound satisfaction to the people Of
Japan to witness the constant growth
of cordial relations between our two
countries and of our community inter

nerce.
But since last year the people in
a section of your country have unfor-
tunately acted in manner calculated
to prejudice the legitimate rights OF
Japanese people, who have been fire..
quently subjected to unjust and humil-
iating treatment at the hands of
lawless element prevailing there. The
right Of education has been denied
them; their houses have repeatedly
been attacked and their property de-
stroyed without the least cause or
provocation, with the result that not
only have the treaty r'~hts Of the
japanese been wantonly disregarded,
but their persons and property also
have been exposed to serious dangers.
