Session-Today's Program.

A material increase in the attend
ance at the chautauqua was noted
Tuesday evening, when the tent was
practically filed, and there was an av-
erage sized afternoon attendance In
terest and enthusiasm generally seem
- be growing.
WhaSeter disappointment may have
been felt Tuesday afternoon over the
inability of Congressman McKinlay to
fill his date, was evidently forgotten
in the pleasure Of hearing Governor
Shallenberger. the only living demo-
crat who ever was a governor Of Ne
brasha, In his Introductory remarks
the speaker, whose appearance clearly
indicates man of determination and
action, referred in a cleverly regretful
way to his being used so frequently as
a substitute for senators, congress
men, etc, until he hardly knew what
he was supposed to represent.
Governor Shallenberger took as his
subject, Political Patriotism and
warned his hearers that there would
be something of democratic politics in
cuse for this by drolly remarking that
it took a patriot to be a democrat. The
viewpoint which he gave was by no
means ordinary party politics, however,
and the governor holds that there is
not SO much difference between repub-
| licans and democrats after all, except
the partition that politicians build be-
tween them, to ride to office on. He
emphasized Americas youngness, and
said we have not yet in our hearts
and souls, a proper patriotism and
love of land and language. Another
salient mistake, he thinks, is that we
take religion and politics both too
much by inheritance. Governor Shall
lenberger has made and is making q
brave fight for moral uplfft in Nebras-
ka, and his story of how the daylight
saloon law was passed. and what 1t
means, evoked much enthusiasm.
Concert Trio Favorite.

was established almost at their first
appearance and the feeling between the
performers and their audiences of both
