No Emergency Clause

Editor TRIBUNE:- Just a word
in regard to the new game law.
The emergency clause failed to
receive a constitutional two
thirds majority and hence it will
not 60 into effect until ninety
days after the adjournment of
the Legislature, and until that
time, the old law will be in effect,
which permits of seining.
l write this note of explanation
because many people are labor
ing under the erroneous belief
that the law recently passed is
now in effect. Very Truly Yours,

H. Il. Rogers Gone to His Reward
On Wednesday morning H. H.
Rogers of New York, who was
said by knowing ones to be "the
brains of the Standard Oil Com
pany," was stricken with apoplexy
and passed to his final reward.
Thomas w. Lawson wrote of
Mr.. Rogers, whom he had
known Intimately: "Away from
the spell of dollar making, this re-
.markable man is one of the most
charming and lovable beings 1
have ever encountered; a man,
whom any man or woman, would
be proud to have for brother;
man, whom any father and
mother, would give thanks for as
a son; man, whom any woman
would be happy to know as her
husband, and a man, whom any
boy or girl would rejoice to call
father.
But once he passes under the
baleful influence of the machine
he becomes relentless, ravenous,
pitiless as shark, knowing nc
law of God or man in the execu
tion of his purpose. Between him
and coveted dollars may come nc
kindly human influence-all are
thrust aside, their claims disre
garded, in ministering to this
strange, canabalistic money
hunger, which in truth grows BY
what 1t feeds upon.

Tuesday looking over the local
C hautauqua situation and arrang-
ing plans for the coming session.
The dates selected are August %
to 20, being seven day session
instead of six as last year. Anew
location will be chosen, probably
either the Judge Barnett lots on
End street or the Kemp lots next to
the Presbyterian church. Either
one of these locations should prove
very satisfactory.
From the talent selected, it is
evident that the Redpath people
are planning to make the chautau-
qua this year an even bigger sue
cess than the one last year. The
following attractions are to be on
the program
Hon Robt. M. LaFollette, U. s.
senator from Wisconsin, one of
the most sought after of chautau-
qua speakers. LaFollette is q
brilliant speaker and handles pub
lie questions with fearlessness.

essee, Americas most popular en-
Observation-Disclosures, will return
with new lecture. This will be
good news as every ybody was de-
lighted witch his lecture last year.
Congressman Chas. B. Landis
of Indiana, brother of Judge
Landis who imposed the 1000, 900
Standard Oil fine.
Mrs. LaRelle Corbell Pickett,
widow of Gen'l Pickett who led
the famous Pickett's charge. Mrs.
Pickett's lecture, "The Story of
Gettysburg" will be one of the
great treats of chautauqua week.

lecturer in "The Mistakes of Life
Exposed"
Allen A. Tanner will give lec-
ture based upon personal exper-
iences-" "The Man in the Overall's.
Arthur McMurray in cdr. Jekyl
and Mr.. HYDE" humorous and
dramatic lecture.

will be the picture play "Laurs
Doone" as given by Albert Arm
strong.
/ There will be seven different
musical organizations, the only
one repeater from last year being
the Royal Hungarian Orchestra
which so delighted every one. Th'
others will be-The Royal Epglisl
