vawter system, in 1910. 1t can not be
honestly denied that there has been a
noticeable lack Of enthusiasm this year,
and almost up to the last minute Il
looked as tho the hope Of having q
chautauqua next year was a losing one.
AS individuals, people seemed to want
1t, but baked on acting in a body and
on furnishing the necessary guarantee.
superintendent Lutz displayed much
patience in handling a difficult situa-
tion, and has given general satisfac-
ton as chautanqua manager. The final
appeal was made to the large audience
at the closing session Sunday evening.
Mr.. Lutz put before the people two
ptcpos1tions-one, which he considered
the better, and the one finally taken up,
being that at least forty business men
OF others sign a paper which he read,
guaranteeing the sale of at least 800
tickets, the loss on any of that num-
Der not sold, to be divided equally
among the signers, and thus minimized.
He further offered to let the 300 season
tickets already subscribed for count in
on the 900. The other proposition was
to get any number of individuals above
ten, to take the responsibility of fifty
tickets. About 900 season tickets were
delivered this year, Mr.. Lutz said, and
the management stands to lose from
500 to s400 because of the lack of sup
port. Other towns are waiting to get
on the chautauqua circuit, and cf1au-
tauqua enthusiasts are feeling good to
think that the first named proposition
finally carried, even by so close a. mar
gin, and after prolonged urging, the
paper being signed by forty one BUSH
ness men of the city, farmers Of this
vicinity and a half dozen or so women.
The 1910 chautauqua will be Of only six
days duration, because Of extreme DIFF
ficulty of getting into town and get
ting things organized for Monday, after
closing at another place the night
previous.
Welcome Bishop ouayle.
These who heard Bishgp William A.
Quayle last Monday afternoon, and
those who heard the praise extended
him. were glad to greet him Sunday
evening. He. arrived in the city from
Boone, where he gave lecture In the
afternoon. Bishop Quayle's Sunday ev-
ening lecture, entitled abraham Lin
coin, the First American." was stir
ring appeal to the patriotism of Ann
orleans, a tribute of an unusually high
order to the glory of this great Amer
lea of ours, and a glowing, touching
e,logy, of that altogether American
product the t'first American" among
our great men, whose democracy saved
America. America makes the whole
world dream, and she is just beginning
to keep house." Bishop Quayqe said
He holds with others that Lincoln is
the very embodiment of the American
idea. His recital of the rising Of that
universally loved star, Abraham Lin
coin, was of dramatic order, and the
lecturers voice was frequently
drowned by bursts of applause from
THE audience.
Chicago Man in Afternoon.
A crowd of fair proportions greeted
Rev. Oliver w. Stuart, of Chicago,
Sunday afternoon, in an address on
Business Aspects of the Saloon Cues
tion," which was of especial interest
because Of the fight just made local
ly. Rev Mr.. Stuart, tho an ardent tenn
perance worker for over twenty years,
fair mindedness and avoidance Of sem
sationalism. AS he stated, he does not
hate a saloonkeeper on earth, he hates
their business, and he is not fighting
the drunkard, but for him. Almost ig-
noring the emotional side of his SUBJ
5ect, he asked the question, IFS the
saloon benefit and help to business?"
and then proceeded to prove that it

he showed that what good saloon
keeper does, he does at the commun-
ity's expense, and said that such a
man simply can not succeed except out
of the heartache and suffering which
his traffic brings to a community.
Moreover, he stated, the saloon is the
sworn enemy Of the home market, and
in pointing out economic differences,
triumphantly land it below the thief in
the economic scale, because it takes
your money and gives you worse than
nothing in return" He illustrated the
fact that the clothing dealers prosper
ity depends more upon wants" and
desires" than upon actual needs"
and proved that the saloon is an ene-
my Of the home market because it kills
In an Individual the finer wants and
desires that separate him from the
savage, IL nothing else. The speaker
scored many other strong points, of
which the audience manifested its APP
prevail.
