ing. was only ordinary. One of the
incidents of their entertainment
was the playing Of Coward Chris
tian Soldiers" written by one of
their townsmen in England.
Friday afternoon the star at
traction Of the Chautaulua ap-
peared-Senator Robert M. La
Toilette. He spoke on "Repre-
sentative Government" He start
ed out by "saihng into" Ex.-Gov.
Landis, of Indiana, who spoke the
day before, saying that he was not
surprised that Mr.. Landis was de-
feated for Congress when he could
not see anything wrong with any
OF the congressman. He also said
LandiB is a stand-patter and he
isn't. They met in Kansas City
Thursday morning and Mr.. Lsndis
undertook to show him the way
down here, resulting in both TAX
ing the wrong train and Mr.. La
Toilette said he had to hire an aut-
omobile at an expense nt $40 to
reach Odessa in time and he'd new
er again take the advice of a
"stand patter." Mr.. LaFollette's
adress was an able and timely one
He urged our citizens to take an
active interest in aiding clean pol
itics and advised the laying aside
of partisanship when right and
honesty is at StIks. He started to
speak soon after three and was
still talking when the majority left
at siys but he was gone when they
returned at 7.3O! His address was
Worth the time though and but 70"
the fact that he was completely ex-
hausted it would have been inten-
Esely interesting.
The Royal Hungarian Orchestra
was somewhat of disappo:ns-
ment. Manager L!psk; had new
crowd and while they were splen-
did musicians, the capers of one
of the young ladies made their
evenings entertainment somewhat
of farce. The manager seemed 20
regret the girls action but was
probably unable to help himself.
Judge Alden's address, "T h"
Needs of the Hour" Saturday af-
ternoon was one of the finest on
the program.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. LaSalle
Corbell Pickett gave graphic de-
scription of the "Battle OF Gettys-
burg" In the evening Dr.. Mon
roe sszekley of Denve", delivered
splendid lecture-sermon on "Do-
ing the Impossible" He was
followed by an, illustrated lecture
on Panama.
The music Sunday was furnish
ed by the Cole-Steel Concert Co.
The attendance during the week
was all that could have been de-
sired and places Marshall at the
head of Chautauqua towns. The
order was generally good.
Our "local orators" must have
taken the Republicans advice 70"
they certainly did not "inflict"
themselves on the audience ut any
time.
Last years manager, Mr.. Rhein-
frank, was missed by many of our
citizens but we had a good success
sor in Mr.. Morrison of Fulton.
There was quite an effort nee
essary this year to secure the re-
,uired pledges to have the Chau-
tau1ua return next year, but We
are pleased to say that it is an
assured fact that they will do so.
One of the points to be watched
is that our program next year shall
excel previous years. In this con-
nection it might be well to suggest
to the management chat some local
talent could be worked into a
chorus or musical selections added
by home talent for one OF the
nun. bers. We have some good tai
rLt AID il would add local interest.
In regard TO ths many criticisms
heard, we believe the Chautaulua
fine thing. 1t furnished a week
of healthy, instructive entertain
ment at a very small cost. 1t in
spires our people to renewed eff
forts in their everyday life, puts
them in touch with the great men
of the day, elevates the commun-
ity's standard intellectually and
brings to our city large numbers
from our neighboring towns. Don't
knock at your own interests,
