The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-08-20

The sixth annual session of the
Richmond chautauqua will open to-
morrow and continue for ten days.
The program does not start until the
afternoon. Beginning then with
concert by the Whitney Brothers
quartet, it will be continued without
the close, one week from Sunday
night. The management of the chau-
tauqua has spent more money on the
affair this year than ever before, and
anticipates greater results. No chau-
tauqua in this section of the country
has been able to secure such an excel
lent selection of talent Winona and
Chautauqua. New York, offer some at
fractions not presented here, but they
have been in operation for many more
years and are operated by private or
ganizations and for individual profit.
The local chautauqua is managed by
a group of public spirited men and
the proceeds are turned into fund
for the purpose of erecting an auditor
ium in Glen Miller park, which will be
owned by the city.
The chief event for tomorrow will
be the lecture by Frank Dixon. This
eloquent speaker will discuss one of
the foremost questions confronting
the American people of today, the re-
lation of the employer to the employe.
His lecture is entitled The Man
Against the Mass" Dixon is termed
"A moulder Of national ideals and
no one disputes the title. His discus
sion of the question will be of par
ticular interest to all those interested
in the employers relation to the la
boring man. He is an eloquent speak
er and has made close study of his
subject
Small bills have been sent out to all
the factories in the city and distrib-
uted among the working men, which
particularly emphasize the great good
which they will derive from hearing
Dixon. 1t is expected that hundreds
of laboring men and practically every
manufacturer will hear him.
Saturday will be devoted to the
Sunday School rally Thousands OF
persons are expected to attend the
fD
Governor Folk of Missouri. Folk has
endeared himself to the people of his
home state for his decided stand for
reform. He is today known among
the few reform governors of the coun
try and he probably stands higher
than any of the class and is therefore
a national figure.
Another speaker for Sunday who is
widely known is Mrs. Leorna n. Lake
vice president of the Roman Catholic
Total Abstinence Society of America
Mrs. Lake is popular with protestants
over the entire country and her mum
ber is expected to be more than in
teresting.
Next Tuesday has been set aside BY
the chautauqua management as Civic
Improvement day. City officials, the
city council and others who hav,
charge of the governmental reins, viii

bin of Chicago University discuss tn,

lines. The speaker will tell how tn,

ticular appeal for the be tier condi
tions in Richmond.
